China Trip - Shanghai (April 19, 2009)

This feels like a bit of a desperate reach, doesn't it?🤷

edit: And let's be honest, Fernando Alonso just absolutely muscled past Kimi Räikkönen there. 😂

It’s really not much faster than running on wets, is it?☕

ironfalcon43 said:: eek:😲😲

this is just a desperate Hail Mary move🤷

edit: and Fernando Alonso totally smoked Kimi:klap:

🙂 you know? 😠

😁

man, they really should gamble now and put Kimi on intermediates 😍

let's go Kimi, overtake everyone!!! 🎉 😵

But in my view, they likely gambled on being the fastest out there... I mean, why bother risking it with intermediates if you aren't aiming for the top?🤷

UNBELIEVABLE 😲 😲 😲 😲 😲

post 17.

🤣

Come on, Kimi Räikkönen, overtake them all!!! 🎉 😵

Oh, come on, he’ll pick up at least one more point eventually.🤣😂

A comment from the BBC:

If Sergio Sutil manages to hang onto 8th place, Ferrari will be the only team left sitting there with zero points. 😈

Nelson Piquet 17.

🤣

There is no way he finishes in that position.😲

That would truly be incredible.🤣 😂

ironfalcon43 said:They were likely aiming for pure pace on the track, weren't they? I mean, why else would you take the risk of switching over to intermediate tires unless you were chasing that top speed?🤷

If he hasn't actually found any extra pace, and assuming the rain finally stops, there’s really only one way he gets faster: simply waiting for the track to dry out. ☕
It was the right call. A bit of a gamble, sure, but ultimately the correct one.

That sounds absolutely incredible😈

Nelson Piquet is playing a masterclass here!! 🙏 🙏 🙏

Oh man, looks like Piquet spun out again 🙏

Why the hell are they letting this idiot back on the track? This has gotta be his last race 🙂

Is anyone else watching Nelson Piquet🤣😂

The kid honestly can't put together two clean laps to save his life.🤷

It’s a good thing Renault actually knows who they’re dealing with, so they made sure to bring those extra parts to the race.

If Pike had been driving for Force India, he probably would have thrown in the towel a long time ago.🤣🤣

Alexander Hamilton's 10th hit straight into the turf.

I honestly think we can finally close the book on the idea that Ricciardo is the biggest anti-talent in F1 history (if he isn't already)

mistybear87 said:If the pace isn't actually increasing and the rain stops, the only thing changing is how much faster you can go as the track dries out.☕
It was the right call. A bit of a gamble, sure, but the right one.

The rain just makes things harder.😛

This time, the risk didn't pay off.🤷

mistybear87 said:oh boy, here we go again, he's twisting the truth once more 🙏

Look, it’s not all about how fast you move; sometimes there's actually an artistic side to it 😬

Great tire choice for Rosberg... 😬
