Britney gets pole, but only really through a technicality. And then celebrates as if he didn't screw up others laps. They need to bring in a rule where if you cause a yellow with less than 30 seconds to run, or after the session has ended, then you get a penalty.

No they don't. It wasn't on purpose, that's racing (or qualifying in this instance).

I agree that the celebration was a bit much though.

lol that is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. Let's penalize people for pushing it to the limit in Q3 while trying to get pole.

Rosberg should have stayed right at the end of that escape road as his session was over anyway with only 30 seconds left in Q3 and not enough time to start another lap. With him at the end of that road the yellows should have been cleared and Hamilton would've been able to complete the lap

Doesn't take much for the douchebag in Hamilton to come out!

Rosberg scored 2 little victories there - one over Hamilton for pole and also over Hamilton mentally - he's no poker player! The last thing you'd do is let the other guy know how pissed off you are like that - or carry on like a child in the press conference broadcast to the world!

I wouldn't be surprised if Hamilton does something stupid tonight, or makes one of his trademark silly mistakes...

I don't see why it's stupid. Had he caused a red flag he would've been penalised. Had he been going slow and blocked people he would've been penalised. Had he gone off and pulled back in front of someone while returning to the track he would've been penalised. But sitting a little way down an escape road and then reversing onto the track, while causing a prolonged yellow flag is ok cause he was "just having a go"? Might as well stop penalising people who take another car out when trying to overtake under brakes, because "they are just pushing hard to get a position".

He didn't go slow and block anyone, he didn't go off and pull back in front of anyone and so on... I said he shouldn't be penalized for pushing hard for pole, and f**king it up.

He should probably have copped something for reversing up the escape with the intention of rejoining as he was well aware there was 30 seconds left, and that he could not get around to start a new lap..

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
