ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 The Perez/Massa crash was crazy to watch on video. Soooo close to taking out Vettel too. I'm pleased that Button overtook two at the death for a 4th place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Lineker Posted June 9, 2014 Author Admin Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Williams believes Force India was irresponsible not to retire Sergio Perez before his crash with Felipe Massa in the Canadian Grand Prix, a charge Perez has slammed as "misguided". Perez complained of brake issues and electrical problems in the closing stages of the race. He has been given a five-place grid penalty for the Austrian GP after the stewards judged that he moved over on Massa as the Williams was trying to pass for fourth on the final lap in Montreal. Rob Smedley, Williams's head of vehicle performance, said he could not understand why Perez was still on track. "Perez braked very, very early. Either he jinked his car to the left, or because of brake problems it jinked to the left, I don't know," Smedley said of the incident. "I think it was lap 67, [he was] talking about having no rear brakes. So they told him to carry on if he could, and if you can't then to pit, which seems to me to be a fairly f***ing terminal problem to be honest. "Why you leave a car out when you've got that sort of problem is beyond me. "You saw two teams, one of which was ours, knowing when to call it quits - with Valtteri [bottas] we had to tell him to back off and save his brakes and engine, but more critically brakes because it can be dangerous, and we lost points. That's life. "Lewis Hamilton, because of his problems - brakes again - has to stop the car. That's a guy fighting for the world championship and he stops. "I'm a bit peeved to say the least that this has happened. We were very lucky not to have someone seriously hurt." But Perez hit back at Smedley, saying the Williams man had no understanding of his car's condition. "It was perfectly driveable with just some adjustments and we showed it up until the moment in which we were taken out," Perez insisted. "Other cars out there had been in similar conditions for way longer than us and they finished the race without problems. "If someone thinks you can keep two Red Bulls behind for as long as we did with so-called 'terminal' problems, they are clearly misguided." Perez also argued that he was not to blame for the crash, saying: "I just got hit from behind by Massa. "There was plenty of space on the left of my car to attempt a clean overtake and I cannot understand why he had to scrape by." Force India's chief operating officer, Otmar Szafnauer, added: "Look at the corner and watch Massa turn right into Perez. "He goes on the inside to try to overtake and thinks 's**t! You can't overtake in Turn 1, let me get back onto the racing line', and then he hits him. "How many other overtaking maneuvers on the inside into Turn 1 happened in this race? I'll tell you: zero. Why? Because you can't do it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 I've seen hundreds of overtakes into turn one throughout the years, and if it wasn't an overtaking opportunity then they wouldn't waste a DRS zone on the home straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katsuya Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 That. The inside is the correct line to take when you have two cars really, as shown by Robserg forcing Lewis wide at the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fry_4000 Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Great pole from Massa Intresting race tomorrow with Lewis P9. Expect Nico to breeze past the williams at the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 I wouldn't count on Nico breezing past anyone tomorrow. The Williams are the quickest cars down the straights and Rosberg hasn't made a good start since Australia. Providing Lewis can at least keep his position off the line, he should have the power, the grip and the car to pass Kimi, Kvyat, Ricciardo, Magnussen and Alonso. Should be fun to watch.

Katsuya Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 The Williams looks genuinely like it could be the best car out there this weekend - they've been able to match Mercedes pretty well in practice. I still think Rosberg will win but they should lock out the rest of the podium if they can pull away whilst Lewis is stuck passing people...

Admin Lineker Posted June 22, 2014 Author Admin Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Wow, Williams front row lock out; that's seriously awesome. Also worth noting that Perez's penalty for the Massa incident at Montreal has been upheld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
