Formula 1...

Agreed, it’s like those dogs who are brave and barky when there is a fence. He says he wants the “Senna natural way” because he thinks we think it’s cool, but knows it will never happen.

 

Unfortunately I think it's the same for probably the whole field in F1, WSBK and MotoGP.

They would be lost at sea if given a 1980's era bike or car. Those were the good ole days........

 

PS, you still looking for a RS250 bottom end???

Yeah they probably would, thats ok era and skill sets change.

 

But they dont go around saying they would prefer to race bikes and cars that had no TC because they are trying to be cool.

 

ps: Yes I am

Saying that, he'd have to change his riding style again. Bikes of that era had much higher COG's and far lower corner grip thanks to the tyres of the generation.

Hey now, we are talking about Lewis Moanilton, Myles is just using a yard stick to compare him too

I think this just sums up the current state of Formula 1 so well

 

 

During the subsequent fight for the lead, the Briton opened up his pit-to-car radio channel to ask his team if he could push to attack, but after receiving no reply, proclaimed he was “going for it”. Hamilton explained the mid-race radio communication was the result of frustration of not knowing how much his team wanted him to push for the win. 

 

“Communication is something we are obviously going to try and work on,” he said. “I was like ‘Can I fight? can I go?’ and they were taking their time so I was like ‘I am going for it’ and I gave everything in that moment.”

 

The fact that a driver needs to ask an army of engineers whether he is allowed to "go for it" is beyond comprehension. Stick it up the inside, force the other guy wide and block all other attempts to get back. Surely not?

There were some engine issues that needed clearing by the engineering team before the Hamster could challenge freely

 

It’s a long season ahead with racing in the modern era

Engine sustainability is key to a lekka campaign

 

Face palm moment by Merc with the miscalculation of the race situation ????????‍♂️

[Baldrick]

It will be a bit embarrassing if the Torro Rosso Honda beats the McLaren Renault next year.

ooopss

I don't think McLaren have a happy garage tonight after qualifying.

Indeed, both TRH out qualifying the MR

Shame poor Fernando

 

Hope the Honda race pace is good as well

[Baldrick]

I would have loved to be listening in on this conversation.

Daddy doesn't look too happy

It really was a good race.

As a Vettel fan I am obviously not happy with what happened but I am super happy for Kimi. His race really came to him nicely too.

Oh dear

the Mrs and I went to Montagu to look at property and I end up missing a decent race. I tried to watch the catch up but it was so poorly edited I had no idea of what was going on.

I actually caught a decent highlights package on YouTube last night - and it even looks "official".

Ferrari and Merc were at just the wrong part fo the track when saftey car came out and this allowed redbull to pit and get super fresh tyres for the restart which got them position after position 

 

 

Max was just A little too ambitious when trying to take vettel

 

Conspiracy theorist might say RBR ordered the TR collision like everyone claims the Haas incident in Australia was manufactured by Ferrari.

It was a cracking race though. Max needs to mature now, he put a ridiculous overtake attempt of Lewis too.

 

Big up to Vettel on his handling of the situation and his interviews afterwards. Very measured and mature........
