Watching those two hits from the russian, is like when you are playing any racing game against your friends. and you just deliberately ram into man.

Kvyat is having a laugh there. Just straight up cock-in-bum twice in a minute.
Kvyat driving like a noob on online.
Dan the man has been rewarded by being dropped to Toro Rosso, with Max the, er, boss promoted in his place.
I'd say that's a little harsh, but then it is Red Bull.
As usual, Red Bull provide some good Saturday morning villainy.
Obergruppenfuhrer Marko strikes again. He may well be back fairly soon if Ricciardo moves on.
I wonder what his PhD is in.
He's a doctor of ruthless shafting.
Imagine if Verstappen takes someone out at Montmelo.
It won't be because of the bumps at the last two races, that would be a knee jerk reaction even for Marko. This is to make sure Verstappen isn't tempted away by any of the top teams.
The timing makes me wonder if RB have any Russian sponsors.
One suspects that the dropping has something to do with brown nosing the golden boy Vettel.
Test.
Maybe an attempt to get Ferrari on their good side and get some engines from them.
Nah it'll be what disco said about Max. If they don't move fast then Ferrari or another team could get him.
Surely this makes a mess of the constructor's point totals?
The constructor's points are what they say on the tin. A Red Bull coming over the line gets constructor's points for Red Bull regardless of who's in it.
Back in the day they had conveyor belts of people going through the shitter teams. Then you have instances like Ferrari '99 and Williams '94 where drivers subbed in at various times.
Ah, alright. Didn't know that. Are we expecting magic from the teenager now he is in a better car?
He's probably the best young talent to come through for quite a while, so expect more of the same.
This is probably a few things coming together to make this happen.
- Verstappen and Sainz have fallen out since the former ignored team orders(Red Bull will like that)
- Verstappen now sees himself in the main team and is more likely to stay with Red Bull
- Golden Boy Vettel wanted something done about Kvyat
I'd expect Max to do well, but I think he's got to tread carefully.
Why do people think Vettel has anything to do with it? Whatever him or Ferrari think will have had no bearing on this whatsoever and the decision was likely taken long before the Russian GP. Marko has a history of binning drivers he doesn't think will be good enough; Algersuari, Buemi, Vergne, the list is endless. He hasn't even been properly gotten rid of, just moved (temporarily I think, the guy has a podium this season in what must be at best the 3rd best car) sideways to ensure Verstappen doesn't get tempted by the promise of a Ferrari/Mercedes drive in a year or so.
Prediction alarm.
I see I'm still top despite not getting anything right since the first race. Heading for a Button 2009 World Championship, stumbling over the line with pants around ankles.
I have backed Hamilton in all but one race. The wanker
I've backed Rosberg this weekend.
If he can actually get it off the line then Hamilton looks to have the pace to win tomorrow.
Is Lauda involved in something or is he just one of them ambassador things?
He works for Mercedes.
I've just joined the North West 200 coverage right in time to see racing suspended after a rider death.
Isn't that a regular with the road racing? Tandragee and Cookstown have had deaths too as far as I remember. Definitely the former.
Having gone to the WRC event in Sotuh Wales I'm amazed there aren't more crowd deaths tbh. Everyone seemed cool with where we were and then the only thing between 10 people getting rolled over was the guys car smashing sideways into a tree first.
I went to Oliver's Mount road race not long back and someone died. Happens all the time.
Aye, its regular but still no less harrowing. Lose it on some tarmac and you're probably heading into a stone wall. Hell, Hutchy's done wonders to recover from his mangled circuit crash which mushed his legs. You always hear about two or three fatalities on Mad Sunday at the TT. An event I'd live to visit, as long as I don't see death right in front of me.
Hamilton, you absolute thundercunt.Originally Posted by John Arne
And I thought the BBC faffed about. What is this shit?
Fucking lol at that.
Classic.
Rosberg's fault I reckon.
Brilliant.
100% Rosberg's fault on the replay. Vile driving.
Coulthatd is doing his best here. He'll get there in the end if he keeps trying.
EDIT: And Jimmy
50/50.
Brundle is with me. Game over.
Brilliant stuff. Hope the Red Bulls get the 1-2 now.
As nice as it is to see Hamilton in gravel, it has little effect on the big picture now.
Off too the next race.
I would love Verstappen to win now, even though it would cause Dr Marko to wank himself to death.
Wurz says racing incident, I'm inclined to agree. Maybe slightly more Rosberg's fault, but "vile driving" is a bit much.
Vile driving was because I have a visceral need to slag off Germans in F1. It was a racing incident, don't need any penalties or whatever, but his fault.
Lauda says 100% Lewis's fault for trying to overtake where it's not possible. Interesting.
It is always possible to overtake there. Have been watching people do it for 20 years plus.
Yeah, I also thought that was a bit odd to say about that corner. I'm not sure he should be taking sides so publically, either.
He was doing exactly that (though the other way round) on TV yesterday. That's what prompted me to ask what his job was.
His job is simply to hang around being paid to be Niki Lauda, as it has been for various employers ever since the end of 1985.
