Tough for Grosjean had a P7 starting position.

 

[Mr. Gregory]

I was going to play the F1 game just now but saw that this race was on. I think I'm gonna check it out.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

I hate safety car starts

 

[cheesepuffs]

I hope Max crashes into Nico.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

What a joke

 

[Mr. Gregory]

There goes Vettel...and then he pits and gets intermediates? WTF?

 

[Kiante]

Ericsson aquaplaned.

Thats just eerie to see a car just snap out of control in the rain.

 

[Mr. Gregory]

There goes Raikkonen.

Stop this race.

 

[donthaveanickname]

When you want to be a world champion you have to be able to race under such conditions.

 

[Speedbowl14]

Race resuming in ten minutes.

 

[Racer1930]

Wow....hope the rain calms down for safety's sake.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Another try in a few minutes.

 

[DUN24]

This is a ****** mess.

 

[Greg]

It is a tough day to manage the race and I usually appreciate F1s ability to run in all conditions. But far to many laps with the safety car today If you got to run a safety car for more than a few laps, red flag the race.

 

[Speedbowl14]

WOW!!!!!!

 

[Mr. Gregory]

WOW!!!!!!

That save was insane.

 

[donthaveanickname]

2nd half of the race was pretty entertaining. Verstappens performance was insane.

 

[DUN24]

Max Verstappen is an alien. He must have passed 30 cars today.

The problem was not the rain, it was the track. Very poor drainage from the last corner, going up hill. Some minor tweaks to the angles of the track, and the grassy areas next to the track, would have cured the standing water problem, and the river flowing across the track. One thing the spins going uphill had in common was, the drivers all hit the painted curb on the left. Stay off the paint in the rain. I thought they all knew that.

 

[aunty dive]

Max was worth the price of admission.

 

[Bobw]

Oh my, he has a puncture! LMAO

then about the Hass driver

He seems vexed....

Another LMAO

Those F-1 commentators sure do talk funny!!!!!

 

[VaDirt]

Max Verstappen is an alien. He must have passed 30 cars today.

Yeah, that was badass.

 

[Reck]

Nico is thanking the Gods double points are out the window.

That engine going south really ****** Hamilton. Good try.

 

[blue92]

My dvr screwed up who won this race?

 

[CamelPowered]
