The Formula One Thread

Finally got to watch the race. Vettel made his bed, he can lie in it. The thing that I don't like is that Hamilton drives the same way, but I don't remember him ever being penalize for this type of thing.

Yeah, and people can moan all they want about how the stewards dicked up the race, but they wouldn't have been involved if Vettel hadn't made the error.

Poor Vettel....

 

This track is shit.

 

That was one boring race.

 

It used to be an awesome track (access was always shit, though). But then they turned it into a test track when the GP moved to Magny-Cours.

Trivia question: who owns it?

 

Had to google the answer and again to find out how it was acquired, it was not who I expected when you asked this.
I'm barely holding on as a fan, almost every race (and qualifying) is so boring, I am so close to removing it from scheduled recordings and just watching a highlight video on youtube, its just a better use of time.
With them moving to pay to watch overseas and the poor quality of racing, is viewership suffering? Attendance still looks good based on the stands.

 

I have no idea about viewership numbers.

 

Bernie Ecclestone?

 

No idea. The citizens?

 

Or the same folks who own COTA? Same stupid stripes and shitty paved run off.

 

His ex-wife got it in the divorce.

 

HAM has a three race win gap over Vettel, the only other guy that has a chance, because no way Bottas gets it unless HAM is removed from racing for a couple of rounds for whatever reason. And Vettel is showing no signs of winning anytime soon. Scharl The Clerk, on the other hand, most likely will be the next non-AMG to win an F1 race.

 

You're probably correct...Max might be a distant contender.

 

Bernie is now touting a plan that he’d implement to improve F1. Sounds pretty much what MotoGP did with their CRT and creating a championship within a championship with spec car racing...he already spent enough time ruining the sport, he needs to go away

 

Who we like?

 

136f on the grid. These dudes have cooling suits or what? That's some sweaty taint before lap one.

 

Fingers crosses for Chuck.

"Chuck, you are leading, we know, but Sebastian is faster than you from 7th. PIT, PIT. PIT..."
