Ham sticking his hand inside Senna's helmet and hoisting it up was a little grotesque, wasn't it? I thought he was going to take him for one last lap of Gilles.

Looking forward to that 50fps onboard courtesy of Liberty Media on the official F1 YouTube channel.

I missed all of qualifying but fortunately looking forward to that 50fps qualifying highlights courtesy of Liberty Media on the official F1 YouTube channel.

Hulkenberg 10th. Massa loving owns. Ocon seems like he's gonna have a juicy career. Please put Hulk in at Williams as massa's permanent replacement. Time to come home Hulk.

Wow, Hamilton smashed Seb's lap, and Bottas and Kimi weren't even close to him. Gonna have to rely on lack of physical fitness, lack of hydration, or on track meltdown to make this a positive result.

So the helmet given to Lewis is confirmed to be a replica but he IS getting the actual race-worn helmet at a later date during a ceremony. Probably in Brazil?

Being super tidy really benefits these cars. Any sort of off line movement means less ability to put power down on the road. The wider tires means 'hunting' in the corner for the right line is much more punishing towards apex speed. More speed is more aero is more downforce = the smoother and faster your approach to a corner, the harder you can take it and the sooner you can power out of it.

The 2017 spec favours Lewis's driving style more than the 2016 cars did, and if Merc can solve the tire heating/performance/wear issue, you can expect him to start driving away again.

What'd he say? I don't really get into Indy oval racing aside from the 500.

I would love to see Nando at Sonoma or Long Beach.

Two-time Formula 1 World Champion Fernando Alonso has said “why not?” when asked on an American telecast if he’d consider switching to the IndyCar Series fulltime in future.

Alonso – who led 27 laps on his first series start in this year’s Indianapolis 500 – agreed to dial in from Montreal, where he’s racing in F1 this weekend, to NBCSN’s live coverage of the Texas race.

When asked if he might consider a full-time switch to America’s premier open-wheel series, if a suitable F1 drive didn’t arise, Alonso replied: “Uh, why not?”

He added: “I mean, I'm very open to anything. I don't have a clear answer right now. I would be lying if I told you I know what would happen next year.”

Alonso appeared transfixed by the spectacle of the Texas race, which featured thrilling side-by-side racing from the start, and appeared enthused by the potential to race outside the Indy 500 in future.

"Watching now the race, these guys, they are the best guys,” he said. “I have to learn many things to do one race, I need to learn so many more to do the whole season.

“I'm more ready to do F1, try to find the best car possible out there. I would look at different options.

“Indy 500 would be the first priority for the triple crown, but full-season another time, why not?”

Between this an the earlier, "Need a competitive engine by September" just add this to Alonso out of fucks.

I always substitute his name for Enrico Palazzo in the Naked Gun.
