Did you just say one of the only drivers who hasn't driven here before?

Yes. Not the only one. But most have driven in other categories here Lewis hasn't.

It's only Kvyat and Ericsson who's raced here in other categories (check my edit)

Turn 8 rules for the race - appears that anyone who goes off at T8 then passes down the pit straight into T1 will be deemed to have "gained an advantage"

If a leading driver in a battle does it will he have to give the place up?

Shame they forgot that rule last race.

Edit forgot the rest of the post: the only people who have raced is Button, Alo, Kimi, kyvat and Erricson. That's 5/22, I don't think Hamilton or Rosberg are in the minority here....

Not that it makes much difference but Massa too.

Martin Brundle said only 4 of the current drivers on the grid have raced Formula 1 cars here.

Yeah I thought so but I couldn't remember exactly so I left him out.

Ok...what if a driver goes of at T8, passes the driver into T1, gives the place back....JUST, slipstreams easily and passes the guy anyway way before T2.

Ok. I thought it was more than that. And some have driven it in F1 last time it was on the calendar.

I have a question. If Lewis didn't officially post a time, can't he make basic setup changes (or is this done only if you start from pitlane) and start on whichever tyre he wants?

After the nonsense in spa, didn't they come up with some rule that if you give a place back that you must wait 3 corners before attempting to make another pass?

I'm waiting already for the post race investigations into battles occurring around turn 8. "He went off the trac!" " He pushed me off the track! "

stewards outcomes to be determined by the identity of the protagonists.

Yes. They made up a rule and made it retrospective. Wonder why that was?

[1Lemon]

Yes yes yes it's all foul play and evil. Can we get over it now?

Hammer I don't think he can make any extra changes than normal, unless he starts from the pit Lane. The hulk didn't post a time either I think.

He can start on whichever tire he wants as he didn't set a time. Remember 2012 when people purposely didn't set a time so they could choose their tires for the race start I'm not sure about the basic setup changes. I want to say yes but idk for sure

Hopefully they just dole out the same punishment to everybody, regardless of who it is!
