Didn't realise it was a case of the engine map working the diffuser to give more grip mid-corner.
But we can see how this has badly affected RBR , who still designed the car around the hot and cold blowing of the diffuser. |

Gutting for Lewis Hamilton. Gearbox failure. The McLaren is another fast but fragile car.

Reliability gremlins from McLaren - last race was Button's fuel pump and this time for Hamilton, it's a gearbox failure.

Questionable decision from McLaren there, possibly.
Radio seemed to suggest that they knew Hamilton's gearbox was dodgy after quali'. Maybe it would have been better to change the gearbox, accept any penalty and score some points rather than risk a DNF? |

I wonder if Vergne was patting Schuey on the back and smiling for the cameras while saying "You f**king useless, senile old c**t" etc?

This is why old people shouldn't drive!
Seriously, does he have the reactions of those younger around him on the track? |

Geez, battle between Kobayashi, Perez, Hulkenberg and Webber more like a demolition derby.
It's amateur hour! |

Funny to think that some poor git in Milton Keynes has probably spent the winter figuring out how to make a suspension strut or hub a couple of grams lighter and then Vettel decides it's okay to carry a bunch of LEDs, wiring and a battery around with him for the race.

GET IN MARUSSIA!!!
![]() Was jumping around like a loon when i saw Senna's car was out. An amazing season for a team that didn't make preseason testing, to push forward with some brilliant updates and catch up to a Caterham that seemed to be leaving them behind, eat that Fernandes! Viva Marussia!!!!

I just love the sheer lunacy of it. You can just imagine Horner and Newey having a serious meeting, Vettel in the corner playing with his train set, suddenly saying that he wants a helmet that flashes. Newey says no as it will add weight, but Horner, playing the doting dad, relents.
"Seb, we've been looking at the telemetry and we think that a 5% increase in brake bias toward the front might reduce the rear-limiting nature of the Singapore race. We've run the simulations and they suggest it'll work as long as we can run the suspension with an extra 5% of preload and 3 more clicks of rebound damping. What do you think?" "Erm, I want a crash helmet that lights up"
