Don't think Grosjean deserves a penalty there. It was the last corner and he was setting up for a lap. Also, the McLaren came from a long distance. Anyways, nice performance by Kubica and the McLarens.

Definite penalty! Norris came from a long distance because Grosjean was soooo slow right on the racing line! Drivers are expected to set up a lap and not get in the way of people currently on fast laps.

So looks like the only chance of a race tomorrow is if Ferrari are hard on their tyres.

I personally am absolutely fed up of these one stop races. Pirelli is the worst thing to have happened to F1.

I also think they should just let the teams decide what compounds to use so that there are some strategy variations. The rules almost dictate what strategy teams must use!

When the compounds were softer and it was too unpredictable the outcomes when Pirelli started in F1 they had lots of complaints too, so it is the overall F1 who has dictated the tyre rules I would say, all to blame not only Pirelli

For me it was better when we had high degradation tires. I did not understand why so many people complained. You can give teams tires that don't degrade at all and still they would coast in races because other limiting factors. We had races with three pit stops and it was much more interesting. Yes it was artificial in a way but everyone got the same tires.

I totally agree with you it was more interesting but they were forced to change

The rear on that Merc does like to slide a bit in that final corner.

I don't know where he was supposed to go in such a tight corner. This isn't directly connected with the rules,but if he did move, his lap would have been ruined.

Honda seems to be struggling a bit more here, I think RB is going to be in the midfield.

Go... faster. You can't ruin someones lap to set yours up. Sorry mate, can't move sideways then you push forwards. At the end of the day, he didn't know he was there. He could have also gone round the outside.

His engineer had the whole lap to see Norris coming and tell Grosjean to complete his warm up lap a second faster.

If Seb keeps locking up, then sure, it’s hard on its tires.

And grosjean had a whole straight to look down and see him coming and pick his run into the last corner up....

So he ruined someone elses lap instead, and it was his fault for being there at that time with a car behind on a fast lap.

Alonso is thinking "I'm going to take Sainz's seat if this keeps up".

[gandharva]

Haha, I love how Nico is correcting the SKY crew like a bunch of school kids.

I think Sainz heard you.
