Probably a walk in the park (street) again for Lewis ,depending what happens in the first few corners.

Kimi is in a good place,hope he doesn't get screwed again..Seb has the older engine.

Max was looking very fast ,so expect some fireworks ,although i don't think even he will try a move around Vettel into T1 around the outside!

If it is half as interesting as the F2 race which i am watching right now ,we are in for a treat.

A one stopper ,strategy very important again ,safety cars etc.

What did they talk about? Mercedes to pay for Alonso to drive the McMerc?

 

The castle corner looks dangerous as hell, but that's just what the FIA wants, a deadly crash there. They know what the public wants. All their talk of safety and mumbo-jumbo is just that: talk.

 

Stewards are ****ing up in the support races with penalties...Sector 2 is massively long, drivers lift off for where the flags are but still able to set a personal best sector = penalty, even though the stewards can clearly see the lifted! It's 2017, ****tards.

 

Could be a total joke of a race, nowhere to overtake a Mercedes anywhere, so I'm guessing finishing order is the starting order, less the usual muppets that crash - stroll, Palmer, Erickson, van drone, and lil Maxine, plus of course Alonso's engine will go pop on the main straight when it hits its vmax (121mph hehehe)

 

yep 15 laps to go!

 

Yes, Leclerc got screwed.

 

Vettel on older motor. Ferrari being affected by oil burning crack down it seems per Ted on SKY.

 

Those long straights will destroy the Honda engines.

 

Horner insinuating James Allison pointed the FIA to Ferrari and oil useage.

 

Why o why must US carriers pull a schizo almost every weekend!! They showed race start as 1 pm all weekend, and luckily I woke up naturally this morning in time to see the pre-race starting at 8 am.

 

No love lost then between Ferrari and Allison. If this is true, Ferrari is ****ed for the rest of the season I reckon.

 

Paddock chatter is that Ferrari are most affected by the FIA focus on this....hmmmmmm

 

The Bose soundbar commercial is cool

 

Mariah is a **** lol. Wow what a reaction. Even more of a diva that Elton!

Flavio insisting he's honouring Alonsos contract with McLaren... But he didn't mention it ends this year LOL

 

I thought of that, but if true why did it take so long to come out? Also, there was already a clarification on extra oil tanks or such being banned - why do Ferrari still have one?

 

wow the national anthem is so dramatic lol

 

Somehow this system was not obvious and rather well integrated???

 

Im no fan of the music but the dress was interesting LOL
