I just found out Ted Kravitz's real name is Theodore Joseph Nathaniel Slotover.

That is all.

It gets reported a lot as fact, but it's not true.

His actual name is Lumsden Bumhat.

Did I really just watch Ricciardo take off his gross, sweaty shoe, pour champagne into it, and drink out of it? What in the flying gently caress?

Also, lol at Rosberg imploding under pressure once again.

We need some goon bags on the podium for our Dan next time!

Bugger it, get a Hills Hoist up there as well and the top 3 can play goon of fortune!

As a Milwaukee resident, all I can think of when I think of David Hobbs is his Honda dealership.

It still persists no matter how much I remind myself he raced in F1 for a handful of races (six) and has two class wins at Le Mans and took 3rd overall twice.

I think the move away from modified production cars to purpose built cars is what caused GT and TC to become more popular. Well, that, and the move towards LMPs.

Sky said it too because his revs increased but he didn't accelerate. I figured his clutch must have slipped as there was no tyre smoke from spinning the wheels but all the commentary teams seemed convinced.

Do they still have two stage clutches?

Can't answer your clutch question (would assume its two stage), but NBC was drawing particular attention to the jerk of the steering wheel on the replay as the moment he broke traction--which makes sense to me.

edit:

Can't find a better quality/bigger version quickly but at the 0:07ish mark, they were pointing to that sudden jerk to the right. He was already getting beat by Hamilton on the start but right after that is when the Redbulls go blowing past.

My suspicion is that his car gained sentience while on the grid, realized who was driving it, and became too demoralized to launch properly because everyone knows that Lewis is going to get past him on turn one anyways.

lol, more like self preservation, since it knew that as soon as Hamilton took the lead Nico was just going to plow into his teammate's car in Turn 1if they were close enough.

I was thinking about this yesterday, but then it became clear: to win constructors titles for as long as they have such a dominant car with a driver that has no chance of loving up Hamilton winning races. Someone else in the car might make it a real competition and lead to more DNFs and racing incidents. With Nico they have a Webber (even if he doesn't know it yet).
