ha, yea that was much a boring race. Also didn't help that I missed about the first 17 laps due to the weather messing up direct tv. About the only action was Sainz passing Kvyat on the final lap into turn 1.

At least McLaren got both cars into Q2, I wonder if they could finally get points in Monaco.

Refueling back in 2017!!!

I expect boredom in monaco as well but at least well see a few close calls or wall contact.

refueling is only worth a damn if does come paired with lifting (or massively increasing) the fuel flow limit and letting the teams rev the motors out.

What happens when its both red bull teams and McLaren taking on penalties? Do they just place them in order by qualifying after the final person from regular quality?

I believe so. It'll actually be pretty interesting, as qualifying will still mean something if they're on a similar engine replacement timeline.

Refueling? Color me unimpressed.

I think it's a grid penalty that's added to the qualifying position.

Example - Alonso qualifies 13th + 5 Place Grid Penalty = Starts 18th

I think, mono would know better

Engines will rev higher, but so far stil a 100 kg/hr limit. Sounds lame.

Also wider cars, more aero and apparently cooler looks?

Most importantly...teams get to choose whichever 2 of the dry weather tyres they want in 2016. Friday may become much more awesome.

yup but if they are taking 10 grid places for engine penalty, watch them both start from pit lane and skip quali.

That's exactly what's going to happen.

Did Mercedes throw that away from just so Rossberg could get his third straight victory?

Good race anytime Lewis Hamilton losses.

[pHILSANITY07]

I can't wait to hear the press conference. Boy you can tell Lewis is pissed.

[momo]

shaking my damn head.

[pHILSANITY07]

I'm in still disbelief.
