So this weekend I did manage to watch the race live, but I had the shits (my posts) around lap 40 and then I decided to play Euro Truck Simulator 2 instead.

1. S. Vettel Ferrari - 11/10 - Again he's the best driver who drives for the best team. He's the best, even when the car has a wonky steering wheel he's still the best.
2. K. Raikkonen Ferrari - 10/10 - Couldn't remember who Bottas was and hell, neither can I
3. V. Bottas Mercedes - 4/10 - Somehow cheated his way up to 3rd? Mercedes are cheats and should be banned
4. L. Hamilton Mercedes - When his radio was broken I'd give him 10/10 but then they turned it back on again -4/10
5. M. Verstappen Red Bull - PHWOOOOOOAR WHAT A RECOVERY DRIVE BY BIG MAX THE MAX MAN MAX COULD'VE WONE THE RACE BUT WAS ILLEGALLY PENALIZED BY THE FIA FOR UNKNOWN REASONS 69/10
6. F. Alonso McLaren - I forgot MacLaren had a Fromula 1 team, I was gonna say they should go back to making kids prams but it looks like big Fred did well this race /10
7. C. Sainz Jr. - A good lad that means well, but somehow got beaten by a MacLaren 420/9001
8. S. Pérez Force India - OH MY GOD
9. E. Ocon Force India - I DONT CARE
10. S. Vandoorne McLaren - I can't believe that MacLaren as a pram manufacturer were able to field two cars, let alone two cars that managed to finish in the points funny number/10
11. K. Magnussen Haas - Told Hulkenberg to suck his rear end, honey TOP BANTZ/10
12. D. Kvyat Toro Rosso - Did I say I like to play Euro Truck Simulator 2, it's a good game. I was going to play some raceroom, but I was too lazy to bother setting up the wheel so I just decided to play ETS2 with the controller instead.
13. J. Palmer Renault - Phwoar, looks like Palmer easily beat his teammate again. Top top top driving from the big Jol man. 10/10
14. L. Stroll Williams - Another much maligned rookie absolutely destroying his much more experienced team mate again. Look's like Canada has another Jacques Villeneuve on their hands 🇨🇦/10
15. P. Wehrlein Sauber - Sauber have a Formula 1 team?
16. M. Ericsson Sauber - I can't belive these guys have a Formula 1 team. I liked that group C Mercedes car they made
17. N. Hulkenberg Renault - Little qq baby who can't handle the #BANTZ #ENTERTHEBANTZZONE again got beaten by his superior teammate and I hope they replace him with some random Polish person with no arms 2/10
Did not finish
18. P. di Resta Williams - Och aye, shes turned me the weans against us https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyayJk_ft_0/10
19. R. Grosjean Haas - I think this is the point where I had the shits
20. D. Ricciardo Red Bull - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH LOL

For a race where Hamilton's radio was broken for half the race, Ferrari went 1-2, Nando placed sixth and sat in a lounge chair, and Brundle was on vacation, it was surprisingly boring.

My friend track day bro !is correct as usual. Also this race had crashes, team strategy, car failiures and Scuderia Ferrari won 1-2. If you ask me best race since Monaco. Bahrein or Australia 2017.

Also my lady friend really liked watching the races and her favorites are Scuderia Ferrari and Fernando Alonso. She is a good girl, need to drink a little less and dont bite my loving neck when she is nervious.

Funny, I just drove over here and stepped inside my posting studio to dump this Nico Rosberg interview from the driving section of The Sunday Times. He says he's all good with Lewis now and then talks about some car stuff.

quote:

ME AND MY MOTOR: NICO ROSBERG, FORMULA ONE CHAMPION
Learnt to drive at the age of five

WHEN NICO Rosberg quit motor racing days after winning the 2016 Formula One world championship, there was speculation that his intense rivalry with Lewis Hamilton was the reason for the shock decision.

The pair were Mercedes teammates and had been rivals since their karting days. Their feud came to a head when their cars collided at the Austrian Grand Prix in July last year. The championship was decided at the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi and Rosberg’s knife-edge victory left Hamilton angry.

But the pair appear to have buried the hatchet after bumping into each other in London. “It’s so weird how things happen,” says Rosberg, 32. “I was walking towards my car in this random area and he ran past. It was really good to see each other. Things are good with Lewis.”

Rosberg hasn’t ruled out a return to motor sport, but he won’t be rushing back. “For now, I have no plans to pull on a racing suit, be it Formula One, Le Mans or anything else,” he says.
“There are some things I miss, but that feeling seldom happens because I’m so happy. If I miss anything, it’s the thrill of winning a race — that was so drat awesome.”

Rosberg, whose father, Keke, won the F1 championship in 1982, is now in a “phase of exploration” and taking things at a slower pace at home in Monaco with his wife, Vivian, and their daughter, Alaia, who will turn two at the end of August. The couple’s second child is due in September.

“Now I have the time to win at other things in life,” says Rosberg. “It was perfect the way 2016 went for me — and the way it ended. It couldn’t have been better.”

Rosberg’s father is Finnish and his mother, Sina, is German. He grew up mainly in Monaco and was too young to watch his father compete in F1, but remembers him driving in the German touring car masters series. “Dad was a great driver. I didn’t realise how good until I was in my teens. That was how my passion for racing started — watching him. My bedroom wall was covered in racing posters.

“Dad taught me [to drive] when I was five in his open-top Jeep Wrangler. He took me to a go-kart track in Ibiza and I stretched to reach the pedals.”

Despite racing go-karts from the age of six, Rosberg admits he was over-confident about his driving test. “I didn’t practise the parking manoeuvre and had quite a difficult moment getting into the space. Reversing is not a natural thing for a racing driver.”

His first car was an Audi RS 6, handed down from his father. “He gave me the safest model he could think of. It was a pretty amazing car to start with.”

Then came an Audi RS 4, before Rosberg joined Mercedes in 2010 and owned a string of its road cars. His first choice was a 6.2-litre SLS convertible. “I would drive that, top down, around the mountains behind Monaco. I’ve always been OK on the road — I don’t need to go flat out because I’ve had the racetrack to go crazy.”

He now owns a pair of Mercedes SUVs and a 1970 Mercedes 280 SL convertible, with a “pagoda” roof. “I love it for top-down cruising along the Mediterranean coast with my wife.”
Rosberg may still be deciding on his next move, but he has not stopped watching F1 and claims he is even cheering on his old rival.

“I still love to watch a grand prix on television. I’m a Mercedes F1 ambassador so I cheer for them. I know so many of the guys in the team and, after all, they helped me achieve my childhood dream.”

Nico Rosberg: my life in cars

At least he picked something that would actually be relatively unattainable for someone even like him as his dream car.

OK, watched the highlights, skimmed the last 800 posts... WTF was that race? Why was DiResta in a car?? Why did Hammo get to go past Botass, then give the position back? Both McLarens in the points!? Fastest lap... to Alonso!!!?? Phwoar, that's a lot going on for what was called a "boring race" a lot. Hamilton off the podium makes it a winner for me, whatever else happened.

Does anyone know how much the Honda engine is still turned down from max output? I remember last year Alonso would occasionally put in like one real fast lap towards the end of a race because they would let him turn the power up when he was hotlapping around in 13th
