#pirellishocker!!

No idea what’s going on with these tyres, but it’s hardly a good advert for Pirelli!

Third one now!

da fuq??

Safety car….

Sharp kerbs?

I wonder whats going on behind the scenes! A lot of people flapping?

Never seen owt like it!! Carnage.

What can they do though – leave them out and another one goes and someone gets hurt not good.

Stopping the race – not good.

Rock / hard place for Charlie et al.

Sharp kerbs?

I’d imagine the front wheel would be affected too.

safety car going to lead them to kwik fit?

Sharp kerbs?

Shit tyres?

shades of Indianapolis 2005, but at least Michelin realised in advance

Is there not more stress on the rear tyres?

farcical

Indeed. And at least there was more than one tyre so some people could race.

Reprofiled kerbs apparently, and talk that the inside face isn’t as well finished as the rest so cutting kerbs too much possibly runs tyre over exposed aggregate. Sure there will be some forensic examination after the race.

Here’s the pic of Vettels tyre…lucky boy

Another lap and it looks like Sebbie’s tyre would have gone also. Loved that shot of Newey head in hands…

And good to see all the drivers heading the advice to stay off the kerbs!

No more exploding tyres since they stopped using the kerbs

Commentary just insinuated that they’d increased pressures by a couple of PSI

….and changed tyres to higher pressures.

Finger boy out

Vettle ir out

AND THE CROWD GOES WILD!!!

Ooooo, Sebbie…

My gran can park better than that!

AND THE CROWD GOES WILD!!!

As he trips over his front wing 🙂

Another tyre goes pop

it’s shambolic

Go webber 😯

Go Webber!
Would love him to win

can anyone explain the Vettel hatred? Or is it just people being ****?

F1 exciting shocker 😆

No hatred on my part, find the guy very amiable, I just want a close championship, and for the last few years that means not supporting vettel

WHAT A RACE

Clearly what F1 needs is tyre delaminations every weekend. Well maybe that and to race at Silverstone every weekend – it does reliably produce more exciting races than most other circuits.

Ditto

Its not hatred. I just don’t like him as a sportsman. I admire his achievements, I just think he’s a conniving little sod beneath the amiable facade and therefore, two faced. Kimi, webber and others were/are blatant in their ambition, honest about how they intend to go about things. Vettel is duplicitous and it’s not a quality which endears him to me.

lolz at the guy who just fell over the armco 😆

can anyone explain the Vettel hatred?

Well he doesn’t exactly endear himself to people does he? “I would do it again”

Interesting juxtaposition:

Commentator: “What a weekend Nico’s had – his 28th birthday and now a win. He’s had his cake and now he can eat it”

/pan and zoom in on Rosberg’s missus….
