2014 Malaysian Grand Prix - Sepang

[SiLo]

Red flag to give Ferrari time...

Seriously, Charlie probably in "it's raining what do I do? What do I do?!" mode

Why do you think it's red?

[beelsebob]

See?

lol

[el-Magico]

Dear god, the incident didn't even have a Mr Hamilton anywhere near it, and you guys are still laying in him?

Grow up already.

We are putting things in perspective..

[bhall]

How drivers handle that prodigious torque in the rain is beyond me...

Indeed, stunning display of skill going on out there.

[bhall]

I was actually making a dumbass torque/power-band joke. Too dry, though.

I say it doesn't matter one bit what the session is or the conditions, you turn in on someone like that it's your fault.

The point is that Alonso probably turned in on nothing from his perspective. There's absolutely 0 reason to believe Alonso had any idea what so ever that there was a car there, or even that he could have had any idea

Well obviously he didn't know, for whatever reason. It's a bit farcical to suggest he couldn't possibly know though, he's raced wheel to wheel in the wet enough times. He clearly wasn't expecting anything like that and wasn't looking for it, I don't think that absolves him one bit.

Seb worth 0.7 + sec in the wet, he managed to cut the 1.0 + Merc advantage down to 0.35

Heaven forbid he use his mirrors eh?

Just for the record Damon Hill on Sky firmly in the Alonso's fault camp.

Careful. Mentioned of the S word around these parts is very dangerous.

[gray41]

So…

1. Merc
2. RedBull
3. Merc
4. RedBull

Yeah, 'cause Damon was in that seat and could see through all that rain...

That's only because he lost a WDC by divebombing into a car with a broken suspension, instead of passing him next corner.

To be fair, a car down on power, but with high downforce is pretty handy in the rain.

I think most of it has to do with Redbull's superior mechanical grip and torque maps perhaps
