F1 tyre supplier Pirelli have completed their investigation into the reason of the tyre failure that caused a DNF for Sebastian Vettel at the most recent Austrian Grand Prix. The blown tyre forced the German to retire from the race while leading it.
Rosberg was fastest all weekend, while hamilton looked nervous in the car. In q3 he managed 1 good lap to grap pole, but then got jumped by niko at the start and left behind. He then crossed the white line on pit exit and got added 5s to his race (or was it drive trough). Didn't make any difference in the end.Phil wrote:I forgot, but what happened last year? Did Hamilton lose the start?
It won't be like the last one, Ferrari should be close but if you thought Baku was boring think again. Last year's was forgettable, Hamilton blamed the clutch for the bad start, there's a surpriseIMO: another weekend, another mercedes walkover.
. It should be a good track for Williams too so maybe RB fight.
What qualy were you watching last year?Ozan wrote:same as last year, Mercedes AMG will fight against Willams drivers for pole, but in race Merc will definately win (if they don't crash each other again) and vettel for 3rd place.
Yeah, I think this is Ferrari's best chance of pole so far this year. It's similar to Canada but Ferrari were closer here last year and Marchionne alluded to the engine actually not being completely fixed until Austria - so there's more performance than Canada.Juzh wrote:Will also be interesting to see whether ferrari has gone forwards or backwards. 0.4s difference last year in Q3.
