Marussia driver Jules Bianchi will start today's Monaco Grand Prix from the back of the grid following a gearbox change earlier today. The youngster qualified 19th during yesterday's qualifying session, but as his team discovered an issue with the gearbox and decided to change it, he receives a five place grid penalty.
"I don't know if Senna and Prost talked about it but I quite liked the way Senna dealt with that so I'll take a page out of his book," Hamilton replied.
depending on what he meant by that Lewis might of let him self down slightly with that comment. that will stick with him for the rest of the season. of course though its mind games, his saying to rosberg go into a 60/40 with me i'm still going for itturbof1 wrote:http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/114110

To me it looked strange. The steering motions, the way he approached the corner way off the ideal line. How the car never looked out of control. Seeing the reaction of various former F1 drivers, I'm not the only one.FoxHound wrote:For me, having seen it live on TV it looked like a genuine error.

Is it too difficult to fathom that Rosberg was pushing too hard and didnt want to lose a front wing, thereby automatically deleting everyone's final effort in qualy?
Pfff "as long as Rosberg gets any kind of penalty I'm happy and can throw him a bone of doubt". Is this the same Brundle who blinks every time Hamilton pushes someone off the track or cuts across and pretends it didn't happen? Local TV salesman = questionable authority.astracrazy wrote:Martin Brundle tweeted

exactly. ok he locked up that can't be denied but surely they will look at his first lap and compare up to the lock up and say "care to explain". there was so much different before the lock up which needs explaininggray41 wrote:If Nico is asked, why did you saw at the wheel as if you were milking a cow?
What do you think he could say that would sound plausible?

Anyway. Glad I don't have to make that call.
If he doesn't get a penalty I think he better make a lightning start. Because I think if Hamilton sees even a hint of an opening he will not hesitate to plant his car there.
Pretty sure everyone did their first Q3 attempt on brand new set except Alonso. I remember thinking why do they not keep the new sets for the ultimate attempt then I remembered everyone has an extra bonus set for Q3. Both attempts were on brand new except for Alonso who didn't have two new sets available.Juzh wrote:I know, I just find it amusing no one tried fresh ones on their first attempt.beelsebob wrote:Why is that funny? Rosberg was first on track, so everyone else had to go through a yellow flag sector on their fresh tyres. Rosberg himself stated that the track was improving.Juzh wrote:Funnily enough, everyone in top5 set their FL on scrubbed set from q2.
hah bout to post that too with the same comment. apparently looks less happy than when he went in
