Daniel Ricciardo has won the Malaysian Grand Prix, having been handed the race lead after a spectacular engine failure on Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes. The Australian fought off team mate Max Verstappen who completed a 1-2 finish for Red Bull Racing. Nico Rosberg completed the podium.
Yes, they were practicing a 5-second penalty. Probably expecting some incidents at the hairpins, maybe with the Ferrari's this time.iotar__ wrote:- Mercedes practising Rosberg's bad pitstop (I thought they were doing fine with those) or 'let's help Hamilton by C.W.' penalties. Probably checking if iphone measures correct amount of extra delay too, like in Germany.
Track is not the same you know?Vasconia wrote: The cars are 5 secons faster!!! :O
Soft Tyres, that are new addition this year, worth 1 second. Cars improved over a season offering at least 1.5 seconds. Rest, the layout changes.Juzh wrote:Track is not the same you know?Vasconia wrote: The cars are 5 secons faster!!! :O
Well, yes. 2.5s is reasonable on car pace and tires. 5s is not. Track itself is a lot faster.GPR-A wrote:Soft Tyres, that are new addition this year, worth 1 second.

Vasconia is not new here you know, neither is unaware of the resurfacing+tyres. Can you not be so pedantic but more flexible?GPR-A wrote:Soft Tyres, that are new addition this year, worth 1 second.

I know that there are changes, still the improvement has been very big, thanks to the combination of resurface/tyres/better cars. Anyway, not every year we see such an improvement.diego.liv wrote:Vasconia is not new here you know, neither is unaware of the resurfacing+tyres.

I guess, you need some english classes man. There was nothing really "Pedantic" about my comment there. I just elaborated the details behind the 5 second pace there. Stop assuming unnecessary things that aren't there.diego.liv wrote:Vasconia is not new here you know, neither is unaware of the resurfacing+tyres.

He's not talking about what you GPR-A said it's what Juzh wrote could be read as pedantic when the last two pages have been on the subject of the new surface of the track. I don't think you would be reading this forum if you couldn't work out why the times are 5+ seconds quicker.GPR-A wrote:I guess, you need some english classes man.
