Uhhhhh.... ok, watching that, how the gently caress did Lance Stroll spin? I kind of missed that part watching it live. There was literally no contact, he wasn't on curb and was on the inside of the corner. What the hell??

First time watching Lance Stroll on track?

He's a national embarassment and I profusely apologize for him on the behalf of all Canadians as such I am duty bound to follow him and point out how poo poo-gently caress he is at all times. I'd even take James Hinchcliffe (i'm learning indycar) than Stroll like holy piss.

But, no, I meant wasn't there a radio message from Stroll saying that he got pushed onto the kerbs and that's why he spun? Which, by the way, is still a poo poo-hot gently caress all of an excuse cause lots of people end up on the kerbing and kerbs all the time and don't loving spin. This isn't F1 2010 (video game reference) after all.

Jesus Christ Honda. Happy for Bottas' first win even if he seemed largely indifferent about it. That Massa poo poo was hilarious, especially his interview about it after the race. Sebastian Vettle is a good egg. Lewis Hamilton is shook as hell. Eddie Jordan should do all the podium interviews.

Didn't he unsettle the car in the corner and get the power down a bit early on the exit?

It's pretty simple, the back end of his car went faster than the front end of his car. Normally you want them going roughly the same speed, but that didn't happen in this case. It's not really an issue unless there's a sustained speed difference or a sudden reduction in speed in 1 or both ends of the car.

Just watched the race. I don't think Massa getting in the way would have made any difference. As soon as Vettel was within 1 second the dirty air would have slowed him down anyway.

Maybe Liberty should forget about getting another race in America until they sort out the whole idea of passing in F1 first.

Why is everyone blaming Palmer for the airborne Grosjean incident? I saw Grosjean hit him first which unsettled Palmer's car and that caused him to spin back into Grosjean. Did I not actually see that happen?

I think the argument is that Palmer turned in on Big John, though he didn't really have an option but to turn for the corner. I think more people would be blaming Grosjean if Palmer didn't have a history of being utterly poo poo.

Grosjean had been alongside Palmer for quite some time heading into that corner.

"I had the Sauber on the outside and had no-where to go" said Palmer.

You could have sat Putin and his unnecessary translator side-by-side in the gap between them. Entirely Palmer's fault, but will likely be ruled an incident anyway.

It looked like he was speaking to Bernie directly but when it came time to talk to Chase he started using his translator.

I do like the thread title changing, it's fun.

Ugh that was boring. I was on the couch all excited and watched the start and laid back and then.. wtf one lap to go? I must of nodded off.

I get sort of embarrassed for BoatAss when he is the center of attention, it's all so awkward.

Anyways, points is good, we're still on track. Seb looked a bit miffed in the green room, like 'how did you just gently caress off like that' and yes, Seb, we're all wondering the same thing. Anyways as long as BoatAss is able to take points away from the goblin, all is well.

hahahaha ok the highlight is in the ceremony the funny music for spray champange starts and all three drivers have an uncorked bottle in their hand but Putin is on the stage shaking hands and everyone loving waits.. pretty much like you never see.. for Putin to get the gently caress off the stage before spraying around the bubbly. You going to spray Putin? You first bro..

I thought bigjohn was already into the corner, possibly almost to the apex and palmer turned into him. He was in the lead but the only thing grosjean could have done to avoid the crash would be to leave the track over some giant curbs.

He's British so Brundle is automatically gonna stick up for him but I swear someone mentioned that Brundle is not only his godfather but also his agent??

Approximately 1 1/2 minutes of googling I couldn't find anything to back that up.

Also they've said nothing good about Palmer, they just haven't called him a useless waste of space.
