Qualy is at 2AM DST Sunday morning here, meaning it finishes at 2AM AEST, Sunday morning. I used the F1 site time zone converter which told me the race was on at 1AM but I don't know if that's summer time or normal time. tl;dr: Fuck time zones. Qualy and race is 4PM GMT+1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MATT 23 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I think it's on at 2:00 AM today, and 1:00 AM tomorrow. But I agree, confusing as. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alonsofan46 0 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Well if we can't talk about the race in the thread , what are we going to talk about ? Plus why would you go into a race thread if you didn't want any spoilers. A warning in the title is unnecessary and we've have never needed one before. Common sense should tell people to keep out of the thread if you don't want spoilers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alonsofan46 0 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Oh , and lol at Vettel binning the 2nd best car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yugin96 0 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Alonso apparently was 'losing power throughout qualifying'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tylerrnty1 0 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Yeah....regulations are outrageous this season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Herby007 0 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Looks like it will be a good race tomorrow - grid is nicely mixed up.If only the Sky Go app wasn't entirely useless I might be able to watch it :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tylerrnty1 0 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Hopefully the williams get on the podium. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
buttonfan 5 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I expect a good battle between Williams, Force India and McLaren for the final step of the podium. I don't think Ferrari will be able to keep up due to their engine/ERS problems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moderator f1since08 110 Posted April 5, 2014 Moderator Share Posted April 5, 2014 Should be a good race with a Merc battle, Hulkenberg and Vettel coming up the field and seeing where Perez and Kimi end up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

couger1981 92 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Wonder if Red bull will let Ricciardo pass Vettel? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moderator f1since08 110 Posted April 6, 2014 Moderator Share Posted April 6, 2014 Just watched Rosberg's pole lap. Mercedes is half a second ahead of everyone else and didn't rev past 12 1/2 thousand RPM... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
buttonfan 5 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Sutil by the way has a 5 place grid penalty as well for blocking Grosjean. Since he qualified 18th he will have a 1 place grid penalty as well for China. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
couger1981 92 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Lucky Rosberg never got a grid penalty for blocking on the circuit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
buttonfan 5 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Yeah I thought he deserved one as well. Instead, he got a reprimand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moderator MBKF1 91 Posted April 6, 2014 Moderator Share Posted April 6, 2014 I reckon it's gonna be mega close between the Merc's and I think Bottas might get a podium out of this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
couger1981 92 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Hamilton has been pushing too hard so far that he is over driving the corners. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Still the same team in my opinion, posting style hasn't changed.Lotus are probably one of the best Social Media teams out there in the sporting world ATM as far as I'm concerned. Even if they do take things too far, they at least humanise the sport - which is great considering most are just corporate / faceless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Syn 2 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 For whatever reason I though the race was at 7AM EST...but it's not. It's not until 11AM. Do I go back to sleep or stay up... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
