Almost killed a driver? Who?

[LRW]

Some breaking news - British Grand Prix winner Nico Rosberg is under investigation for allegedly not slowing for yellow flags in today's race at Silverstone, the FIA has announced.

OH NO! Let's investigate the dude who didn't lift his foot for a millisecond and ignore the 4 tyre blowouts which almost killed a driver today.

A) it's clearly not being ignored
B) drama queen much?

You are so funny.

It was an underwhelming race for Toro Rosso, and bitterly disappointing as well with Vettel retiring as well. What was with the crowd cheering Vettel's retirement??? (I was cheering when Hamilton's tire exploded).

I still think STR are on a good run, so I'm expecting a few more mid-points finishes throughout the course of the year.

Tell me something I don't know.

LOL...cars shouldn't be riding kerbs, another quote worth framing for a hearty laugh. What are kerbs for genius, decorations?

The white line denotes the edge of the track. Running over teh kerbs exceeds the confines of the track. Laugh all you like but it is ture.

Good, so we agree then, that it seems unlikely to be a kerb issue.

Erm, no.

It is only true to an extent. Cars are only deemed to have exceeded the track limits when all four wheels are over the white lines. So two wheels on each side of the line (i.e. two wheels on the kerbs) is perfectly legal and indeed normal for almost 100% of motor racing series. To try to argue that cars should not touch the kerbs is, to be frank (and not Allan ), ridiculous in the extreme.

I love all these nooby comments I am seeing wishing Hamilton failure for the rest of his career and how Hamilton can't look after his tyres. Make me wonder if these nobodies were watching something else...

It's almost as bad as the sporting crowd at Silverstone booing Vettel when he retired.

You're not on the BBC sports pages are you? The comments section there is wild territory and quite disturbing at times.

Well it's not ridiculous but thank you for taking the time to respond like an adult rather than write a childish snide comment in your signature.

Put it this way, at street circuits, the white line is either a wall or a barrier.

^ Hey come on man....I genuinely believe laughter is the best medicine, and since I'm still down with a flu right now, I made it my sig till I recover. It will dissapear by next week, no fret.

Not myself, but I do tend to browse on the F1 Comment sections for both Sky and BBC
