@Sean197 ... here you go mate. speed didn't dip below 307km/h (that's 191 mph).

TO ME, it looked as though Hulkenburg tapped Sirotkin as he went past, who then went into Alonso?

yup. that's exactly what happened.
disappointed in hulk tbh. good qualifying. brilliant start. faster than sainz. then throws it away.

sirotkin got a penalty for hitting perez up the back at the start (or second corner). not for the alonso clash.

Love that. They're planning a crack at the Nordshleife next.

Which reminds me - Porsche 956, hits 246mph on the old Mulsanne.

@Sean197 so SO good mate!!!

@M19TNR need to watch it again but it was all just carnage really. Didn't see anyone to blame really, just one of those things on a thin track with a full field jockeying for position.

Is it just me, or is there easily a car sized gap to the left of Max that DR might have been able to dive into?

There was but then Max weaved into it like a 1980's drunk driver

Video here of the Sirotkin incident. I agree, Hulk's fault.

About f#cking time!

"... the separation of driver weight from car weight to end the disadvantage of heavier drivers ..."

can you believe it took them decades to finally come to that conclusion?


"... and the requirement that drivers wear biometric gloves."

eh?

The gloves are to monitor heart rate etc. and allow medical staff to get real-time info on the driver's state in the event of a crash.
