2014 Malaysian Grand Prix - Sepang

[heidenreich27]

I swear kers button back pls, we almost have no overtakes.

I imagine f1 without DRS, 0 Overtakes zero zero i mean it would be impossible.

[mikeerfol]

Where was the ERS graphic??

[Juzh]

Middle.

Driver tracker messing it up then.

Red bulls were consistently 15-20 kmh down on mercs trough S1 speed trap, and 10 kmh down in S3. How can you fight this? you can't.

[RicerDude]

Hamiltons' first grand slam?

[el-Magico]

Paffffffffff goes the "thinking driver" theory.

Hmm? Are you implying that the winner didn't think this race? I saw a lot of very intelligent driving to keep the car running optimally.

D'oh!

Hamiltons' first grand slam?

Nope, he came out behind Hulk after the first pits.

Hamiltons' first grand slam?

Nope, he came out behind Hulk after the first pits.

But he passed him before he completed the next lap.

Still, he didn't lead at every point during the race.

Indeed, as soon as RBR has their software sorted, that car is going to be a beast. The car clearly has an enormous amount of downforce compared to the others.

[Sevach]

So yeh... you were all right. Merc deffinately don't have a huge advantage any more

They have a sizeable power advantage still (Vettel had no chance in the drag race at the start), and a good chassis, although the RB10 might be better.

Let's see if "reliability upgrades" can close this gap


Such is your lot in life Felipe

Driver tracker says alonso didn't use both types of tire? That true?

No he used both types.

Which stint was he on the hard?

He actually went MED(14 laps) MED(18) MED(18) HARD(5)

[zeph]

That's what I thought as well.

[gray41]

What a victory, this car is a beast.

[zeph]

Yeah, but RBR really has the development game on lockdown. They are always better in the second half of the season. If they're this strong already, I fully expect them to be back on top by mid-season.
