I think they are slightly stupid at 3e or what do they wanna tell me with the ad break 5 laps before the end and no full course yellow or anything. Great some team order missed

I didn't really notice the ads, I fancy a Thai green curry for some reason.

2nd for Rosenqvist again, he's had some good results recently. I'm a fan of him, he had some whopper F3 results. Was always superb around Macau

I am far more shocked that Mercedes leaves the DTM. :eek:

And leaving DTM. A major manufacturer changing from saloon based racing series to electric based open wheel. Quite a statement

It means also the end of the new DTM, as BMW and Audi just send 12 cars overall. And there is no manufacturer in sight to fill the gap. Or they move back to the model with cars from different years.

Formula e looks like a good package to any manufacturer, it's a fraction of the cost of the other motorsports and is more relevant from a promotional point of view, it lets them put on a big even in major cities.

I'd say it would also give them more power in any negotiations on rule changes in the sport they left as the organisers try to get them to come back. I wouldn't be surprised to see Merc and Porsche return to the sports they left after a few years.

So who are you rooting for to win the championship? Buemi or Di Grassi?

I'm for Buemi.

Rosenqvist still has a mathematical possibility. I'm rooting for him

Abt and Buemi in pit lane antics. Expecting a penalty for Buemi for brake testing Abt.

What was Carroll at not pitting under SC

Charlie-Bravo

Carroll isn't as good as when Mark Gallagher was running the show in A1.

This race has a little of everything. Decent circuit in Montreal.

Buemi has lost it after that.

Eh, IMHO there's a couple of bottlenecks (the on-ramp and the Bus Stop chicane) that force the cars into single-file and that kind of spoils the track a bit.

First time i watched FE was few weeks ago. Tuned in tonight. Lot more entertaining then F1 has been the last 10-15 years.

PopePalpatine

There's a bit of me wondering if di Grassi will fall afoul of the regulations...again. :rolleyes:

Charlie-Bravo

Lolz, Buemi post-race with Abt and Duval! He's got beef with some of the drivers.

Have to say, that was a good race. It may not be fast but it does have the essence of top tier racing without the boring snorefest!

He started arguments with them giving out complaining that they should watch where they are driving and not crash into him. It was very funny. All that was missing was a fist fight with one of them maybe with Daniel Abt who he also argued with lol.

It was a good race do lots of action and good racing. Poor Nico Heidfield he always seems to get bad luck. I don,t see why he could not have used the second car they were half way through the race after all.

Especially as he gave out to the wrong person first.

It was interesting race.

He gave out to wrong guy and was told by both that guy and another it was wrong person.
He then goes to that guy team mate( the right guy) and rants.:)
He also goes to rant at Abt I think it was.

But he did drive a good part of the race with wheels not aligned and steering off and went from 12th to 4th so I give him credit for that.

Buemi disqualified with underweight car. Now 18 points behind.

PopePalpatine

Maybe eDAMS should have finished the paintjob.

That's harsh. Could they not have just gave him a penalty?

I think this race is on spike tv at 8.30 tonight but probably best to stick to posting about it when it's on 3e so as not to spoil it for others if most don't have spike.

I usually don't post when I'm watching sports but if I have to watch it later I just avoid boards thread on said sport. Spike is FTA, they can log in here when it's on 3

Charlie-Bravo

I'll be posting while watching Spike. Just don't look at the thread if you don't want to know what's happening. The best chat is when it's happening live, not delayed!

Turn 1, Lap 1... and it's pretty much decided.

The FIA stewards really love their meatball dinners.

That track would be better than the F1 track in Montréal the roads look much better and that is saying something for Montréal
