Grosjean does seem to be the most consistently animated on the radio this year, and that's saying something when you've got an angry Spaniard in a lovely Honda on the same grid.

The McLaren tends to eat its own engine and gearbox and come to a slow stop in a nice controlled and predictable way, the Haas seems to be actively trying to murder Grossjean.

For those without the visual of that haas, it was like watching a rodeo horse bucking and twisting it's way around the track at 200mph.

There's something very soothing about watching practice. Also the Mercedes engineer just shone a torch up Hamilton's rear end, baffling the Sky commentators.

Go find some photos of the first F1 cars with wings and look at the mounting points. Most go right to the hubs.

Maybe. They tend to do better in cold weather and are tougher on tyres, so who knows?

Alonsos Ferrari was such a trainwreck that they even fired Luca. Something has to be done. Fernando is not a saint either, he left Renault, Mclaren and Ferrari on bad terms so of course he will be happy now that he is getting paid a lot to drive a piece of poo poo car.

The trainwreck that Alonso's career has become is entirely Flavio Briatore's fault . I'll never understand why this thread generally seems to like that flabby piece of poo poo.

Wirth1000 posted:Mike Skinner? This is the guy they dug up in the States to be their new Stig? Really? He's older and fatter than Clarkson. I forgot how much I loathed New American Fat Stig. What a piece of garbage. Diverting to food talk in the F1 lull has been shockingly enjoyable and not awful. This should be the new procedure for off-race weeks. Next time around: Tex-Mex. McLaren's new standard procedure for race weekends seems to be to use and destroy as many engines as possible. The sad part is I don't know if any of them even run long enough to get usable test data to fix the problem.

Every grand prix weekend make a dish that originated (loosely if you can't find anything) from the country F1 is in. What's a Russian dish besides vodka, callousness, a genetic desire to be evil and Putin?

Only time I've been in the vicinity of a Nando's was at Meadowhall and they have a shop downstairs that serves full dinners inside a giant Yorkshire pudding for less than £5, so why the gently caress would anyone even think about the McDonald's or Nando's is beyond me. Does the south not have any actual cafes left anymore or something?

The main issue I have with Grand Tour is that now it's an American show it does some of the worst pandering possible. The section they filmed in the US where they mentioned ~the military~ and then had 5 minutes of repeating the unfunny "audience riots because of ARE TROOPS being the best" gag was I imagine as embarrassing to norns and non-deep south Americans as it was to the rest of the viewers. That plus the poo poo American "stig" replacement that noone outside of (NASCAR?) has even heard of. Were they that awful and pander-y about the UK when it was a BBC show and I just didn't notice or wha
