Pictures of drivers like Vettel (who was in 2nd at the time) walking away from Q3 while still more than 4 minutes to go is not a good look.And, drivers were being eliminated sitting in the pits. What a joke.I liked the comment Brundle made after it, "Lewis could've waved his own chequered flag".

They were scathing of the new qual format. They think we may have witnessed a once off... I'm sure they'll persist with it for another race or two though. The biggest problem at the track was that we didn't have any graphics on screen telling us who was in the drop zone, how much time was left, or the order, etc. You could imagine how confused everyone was trying to make sense out of what the confused commentators were saying!

Yep, at the track. I didn't see the F4 stand though, where is that? I had a go on the IVECO sim which was running codemasters F1 game. Haven't driven it before and only got 3 laps vs others who obviously have played it on their xboxs etc. But managed to go 6th quickest of all drivers at the time. The biggest problem was the car being setup for massive understeer... Yuck!

Gotta say though, great race by Ricciardo.

But its kind of amazing with so much damage and the car doing a couple rolls and possibly flying into the fence he had nothing contact his head woth the current open cockpit.I still think the halo as proposed looks crap and wont do much.The one proposed by red bull after seeing ferrari test a mockup seems more logical and safer.But either device would be very tricky for a driver to get out from a car that ends up like Fernando's in Melbourne. « Last Edit: March 21, 2016, 06:18:05 PM by marty » Logged Guybrush Threepwood Hero Member Posts: 2133 Karma: 69 Re: Melbourne GP Catch up? « Reply #42 on: March 21, 2016, 04:43:05 PM » RBR's looks better, that's for sure, and I'm sure, even if the perspex was to shatter, it would take some of the energy out of the object and prevent any fatal injury to the driver. Plus you could actually get out of the car.
