    It is odd, and every way I try to explain it sounds dumb but he is just like his dad just with younger references (see). I think he's been the best co-commentator they've had this season, just ahead of the ex-Williams guy who spends half the session berates Dan Ticktum which I am 100% behind.

    A shame as the 2 Mercs will now drive off with it, but at least they should be the right way around for some battling.

    Looked like Ocon's wing is fucked.

    Mad Max had no power so he would of not made lap 1 anyway.

    It's a bit of a shit situation for the leader, as in: if you accelerate too early, there's a longer phase of slipstream for the others on the long straight. But this slowing down was a bit extreme. Wurz on Austrian TV is not very happy with Bottas.

    Bottas holding it right to the start/finish line caused that. He took it right to the limit, but it was still legal. He should be doing that for his race, but others suffer.

    Everyone else behind them was unsighted by everyone spreading across the track. One idiot(Magnussen?) decided to plough through everyone and that was that.

    You can't overtake until the line though surely, so what the fuck were the idiots at the back doing?

    There is no real green light at the end of a safety car. The lead car(Bottas) becomes the safety car from the final corner up to the start/finish line. Often you'll see them bolt much earlier, but it's to his tactical advantage to wait until the last possible moment.

    Yeah, Bottas did nothing wrong it was whoever in the midfield tried to anticipate the leader.

    I didn't know they give an extra point for the fastest lap. Add another point for most overtakes too

    Gutted for George but the writing was on the wall for the last grid restart. The Williams doesn't do well off the line.

    From which you have at least one week to recover and you’d be out of cycle during the season so it wouldn’t show up at race day anyway.

    It would surely be more about things to get you through the race physically and mentally (focus, heart rate, etc.) than conventional recovery doping. Some of those monumental Le Mans shifts in the Good Old Days were quite clearly meth-powered, and it was absolutely rife in cycling before proper doping came along.

    There's a list of banned substances just like every other sport, I assume they test for those.

    Is this a Toyota walkover, or do those other LMP1 outfits have a chance? I see Rebellion won the 6 hours of Austin a while back amid a sea of Toyota wins in the other races, but I'm not sure if that means anything.

    If Juan Pablo gets a class win, I'm counting that as a Triple Crown.

    I doubt it's going to win, but this Rebellion LMP1 is a beauty of a thing, even in the hands of Bruno Senna.

    Watching Montoya in the DragonSpeed as we speak.

    Bothed pit entry. Damn it, Juan.

    Just worked his way past Tatiana Calderon. Come out of a slow zone, she let traffic past and Juan floored it.

    Just a couple of hours left. Here's your F1 driver update:

    Nakajima, Hartley and Buemi are leading the thing with their Toyota that always wins. 5 laps up on the field.
    Bruno Senna is still in second.
    Kamui Kobiyashi is fourth in the other Toya that always wins.
    Paul di Resta leads LMP2 in 5th.
    Followed by 'Anth' Davidson.
    Jean-Eric Vergne is next on the list in 7th.
    Giedo van der Garde is in 20th.
    Sebastian Bourdais is 25th.
    Jan Magnussen is 32nd.[/b]
    Gianmaria Bruni follows him[/b]
    Giancarlo Fisichella is running 41st.
    Will Stevens is last of the runners in 50th.

    Which means ....

    Juan Pablo Montoya is out. Maybe next year.

    That was quite an entertaining qualifying session for about 10 minutes yesterday.

    I commented to someone whilst watching it that you'd think Hamilton would come straight back out in Q2 to set a time when the track was clear, in case anything should happen to scupper a late run. Why are formula 1 strategy bods so painfully over-clever? Shame more of the drivers didn't have Gasly's nous to back the pack up in the pit lane and make another qualifying run impossible. I was quite looking forward to seeing some mug cars driving round two abreast in roadblock formation.

    I found all that a bit cringeworthy. Crofty and Karun were practically giddy at the thought of Hamilton not getting through.

    He was always gonna make it through, the guy even had time to stop at the last turn to create a gap before the hot lap.

    I'm just praying for Max to start well and get a toe all the way down the straight.

    Tells you a lot about this track when we have to watch Russell, Albon and Norris battle for 16th because they're mates in real life.

    Also, lol at Bottas' telling the haters to fuck themselves over the radio.
