El Hefe posted:No one on the grid is more unlikable than Lewis. It's going to be funny when in 15 years everyone will go on about how much of a real racer and not stuck up German robot Hamilton was, especially after all drivers are replaced by actual robots. Anyway, my main joy is derived from watching Nico fail, so I'm glad things are going well for the cause.

I think we should just ditch the blue flag rules and make backmarkers something that the front runners just have to deal with.

So, Hamilton was driving slowly deliberately so that Ricciardo would've gotten the undercut and passed Rosberg during the first round of pitstops, right? He was going super slow until his engineer told him "uh we're gonna pit Nico first if you keep driving like this bro" and then suddenly he was magically 1-1,5 seconds per lap quicker. Not the biggest fan of the lad but that's a clever bit of racecraft. My favourite part of the race was the Sky commentators in 100% honesty wondering whether Palmer would be penalized for going off track limits after he spun off. They are seriously the worst.

The FIA are so dumb with these rules I can't blame Sky.

Rev. Dr. Moses P. Lester posted:I'm going to miss Their Jense when he retires. He's the only driver who says anything clever or interesting on the radio. Even Prettiest Driver Fernando can only grunt things like TWO WARNINGS?? or HE GO OFF TRACK and Kimi might have amusing things to say but nobody can hear them. Kimi let loose with an odyssey length rant on the last lap, the most he's produced in a decade. Not a single intelligible word though.

Fernando said once that Drivers don't really need to be told where people are in relation to themselves, because there are big timing screens at tracks for the fans and they read them on the straights. At that point in the race the red bulls were closing on Nico, he knew what he was doing, Mercedes knew what he was doing because he had done it before, it was clever but he would be infinity more likeable if he'd chuckled down the radio and gone "ok it's a fair cop man" and speeded up instead of bitching.

Gutierrez calls Hamilton disrespectful He really does have the thinnest skin, but the main reason I linked this is because of: Gutierrez posted:"He should respect all of the competitors. You never know, maybe in the future I will be fighting for a championship with him, so he has to respect that."

We'll only see if Hamilton is actually a good driver when he goes back to McLaren and posts top quali times like Nando in the wet. You could put a monkey in the merc and expect it to win.

Things about this race: - the radio ban is stupid as poo poo - the radio ban is a farce - the track limits thing? 3 warnings? gently caress that, track limits should be marked with solid reinforced concrete wall - Lewis is a oval office - the radio ban is loving stupid - Nico ffs, you're the only person in a position to take Lewis on, do us all a favour and pull your finger out of your arse and do something about him iospace posted:I got up this morning early to catch at least part of the race, went "gently caress it, it'll be Mercedes 1-2 with either Red Bull or Ferrari 3rd, with absolutely fuckall action," and promptly went back to sleep. I want to make a website similar to the 'has maldonado crashed today' one that would be called 'should I bother watching the race or not' - only problem is I need someone to watch it live and post a yes/no... wait I've got it. It'll be a crowdsourced affair, post to twitter with '#worthwatchingtheF1 yes' or '#worthwatchingtheF1 no' and it'll feedback to the site, and the site will give you a percentage of yes/no votes - leaving you able to decide whether to waste your evening watching it on catch up. gently caress it, that's my Monday project right there.

I imagine the words 'snap chat' make some people here either cringe in dread or frown in incomprehension, so I stuck Lewis's victory celebration on one of these web streaming sites for easy consumption. https://streamable.com/jl1q Sounds like the last word spoken at end is BAKU for some reason. Well done Baku.

That race would have been a hell of a lot more interesting to watch if for the last 30 or so laps if FOM had switched between the two RB vs Ferarri battles, instead of focusing on Kmi and Max in the hope that they would bin it.

If you have this weird Stockholm Syndrome thing going on with F1 to the point where you're seriously typing poo poo like this up, then muster up all the energy you can to stop watching it, and the curse will be broken for you. Honestly it reminds me of the women at work who detest watching certain soaps but have to watch them all so they can discuss them at length the next morning. learnincurve posted:That race would have been a hell of a lot more interesting to watch if for the last 30 or so laps if FOM had switched between the two RB vs Ferarri battles, instead of focusing on Kmi and Max in the hope that they would bin it. Ricciardo-Vettel was just Max-Kimi except Vettel never got close enough to even feign a move, switching between them would have just meant you were watching a slightly less close battle half the time.
