Missed that qualifying yesterday. Hamilton is such a petulant classless child when things aren't going his way.
Lance Stroll to take himself and at least 1 other driver out of the race at turn 1.
First I've seen of this weekend, I'm almost ashamed to admit I'm looking forward to Indy more than the F1. :gs:
Is the indy an oval?
Yes, when F1 went there they built a mickey mouse infield section which everyone hated, the yanks don't use it though as it involves sometimes turning right.
Might give it a watch. UK channel or dodgy stream?
Definitely seen enough of this, it's mind numbing.
You know it's just possible that my post wasn't a full critique of the entirety of oval racing.
I never noticed the bus lane before. Who the fuck gets a bus in Monte Carlo?
I wouldn't think there's an awful lot of parking, plus it'll probably cost about £80 a stop.
How can you have Pat Symonds critiquing race strategy and still keep a straight face? Are our memories really that short?
Im flicking back and forth... has there been a genuine overtake yet?
Well Jenson did try one, not exactly successful.
Lance Stroll to slam his breaks on and trigger another one, probably.
I legitimately don't recall any on track overtake after the start.
Bring back re-fuelling and make them stop more.
If 'Seb' beats 'Lewis' this year in basically equal cars, is he OFFICIALLY the better driver?
Nah, just the better qualifier.
It would make him the better driver this year, that's all you can ever say without getting into personal preference. Also, the wider argument would require him learning how to overtake properly.
Wow, whatever Indy coverage I'm watching is so american I think I can feel my arteries furring up.

And now there's a frankly bizarre advert for cancer medication. Actual cancer drugs being sold in the middle of a motor race, amazing.
I forgot the ball was on TV here so I didn't get watching.
The grid line up was full length shots of the drivers all making jokes, CanyouhearthedrumsFernando looked like it was the most embarrassing moment of his life.
Alonso is leading but we missed it because we were watching adverts......for Indycar, which we're already watching.
This is why American sports need stoppages, because they'll show the ads anyway.
It would appear to suffer from the same problem as the rest of america, anything that is higher/bigger/faster is automatically considered better. There have been a million passes so far (less than a quarter of the race gone) but there's no point in watching them as none of them mean anything. Favourite thing so far is someone asking a race engineer Yo, what's with all the math?!
Well, that crash is the kind that took Zanardi's legs.
The state of your lottery, America. I dunno if this is national, state or what but it looks like a game show Lenny Bennett would host in the 80s.
Dixon is lucky to be alive, it doesn't look the safest place to have an accident.
Suzi Perry is after fairly hefting up. She used to be a tight enough looking bit for her age.
Every interview she did in MotoGP made me think she was laying down for every straight rider in the paddock. Also, I'm amazed these races ever finish.
We're not even half way through.
This seems like the sort of thing you'd be safe enough turning on around now.
I once tried to watch a full Le Mans and soon realised to just give it ten minutes every few hours.
Yeah, the first 150 laps of this were entirely pointless.
Is he still winning?
:lol:
Familiar end to a race for Nando.
He did good, familiar ending though.
Jesus all these stoppages make it interminable to watch.
This is good shit though with so few laps to go.
Sato. :cool: Now there's a blast from the past.
Are American (or Indy Series) drivers that terrible that the likes of Chilton and Sato win races, and most astonishingly, Alonso can just rock up and almost pick up a win??
I imagine if one of those Yank drivers turned up to Spa in a Ferrari, they wouldn't stand a chance.
See also Scott Speed and Sebastien Bourdais. Indycar hasn't been competitive in that sense since the 1980s.
I'd imagine there's far more money in F1 so the quality difference would naturally be there, wouldn't be anything surprising. It'd be like Cronaldo going to the SPL for a few weeks and people wondering is the quality poor there when he does well.
I don't think it's quite that comparable, given the massive differences in cars, tracks and driving style (though their are obvious similarities) - there's also the fact the many F1 drivers are pay drivers, so there isn't necessarily more money to be made in F1 (except for the top, top drivers). For example, the winner of the Indy500 picks up something like $2.8m, whereas, Pascal Wehrlein is rumoured to be picking up just $400k a year.
It is not more likely that Yank drivers are more insular, and therefore less likely to want to challenge elsewhere, and even leave Indy?
Probably something in that too yeah. America is the world.
Jesus :D
