Well, if you wan't the most information that's pretty much what you have to do.

Or just use the online timings. Those do not crash.

Neither does the app, when used on a native (i.e. Android) device.

Track:
- resurfaced, quicker, two stops probably
- :-( http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/red-b ... /[quote]Di Resta "There's a lot less compression through the final corner, the profile has changed slightly, so it's a bit more of a normal corner. The kerbs are a bit different as well, so it's little flatter and a bit more forgiving to a point.[/quote]
- At Turns One and Two, 25mm negative kerbs have been installed on the entry, with 55mm high 'sausage kerbs' fitted at the exit to act as a deterrent. Furthermore, 100mm 'Abu Dhabi' kerbs have been fitted behind the apex kerbs at these key turns.
There are also negative kerbs on the entry and exit of Turn Three, as well as the entry to Turns Five and Eight.
At the latter section of the track, negative kerbs have been laid at the exits of Turns Five, Six, Seven, Eight and Nine. http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/red-b ... nd-793641/

Well it is a way to see the race...and a good way to see the reality of what happend during the race. So not totally off topic. And definitely better than Fanboy-Ying-Yang, which will start soon again, isn't it?

By the way, I think I missed the usual "Ham will win this" post? :D

Probably because a lot of people don't expect him to win this one. Rosberg's been very strong here in the past 2 seasons, has had better starts overall and it's one of the harder places to overtake at.

A source I've found:

http://www.f1analisitecnica.com/2016/06 ... ttone.html

Important things:

- VET probably will have to change gearbox and suffer 5 places penalty
- FER is going to use 1 token on MGU-K to improve recharging and deployment
- FER could use a new Shell fuel
- FER is evaluating if they have to change ICE on both cars
- MER will change ICE, TC, MGU-H, MGU-K on both cars without using tokens
- MER will probably use tokens on SPA GP

Oh, that sucks. I was expecting a very competitive Vettel for this weekend. :(
