Finally got a chance to catch the replay of the race, and even though someone spoiled it for me like 20 minutes before I sat down to watch it, I was still delighted by the results.


I was absolutely delighted by Dan's brilliant performance. The contrast in his ability to make overtakes stick compared to Verstappen is amazing. Kimi up on the podium and actually volunteering to speak for more than 2 sentences at a stretch was almost as eye opening.

Lets not forget Alonso sticking it to Vettel in the final stages. Better than little blue pills. But to be honest, this was the money shot:





Lol what a loving fraud. :circlefap:

Dan to Ferrari so the scud can actually get a WDC (and a WDC who deserves it) please.

Even if Ferrari didn't get undercut on their pit stop by Mercedes, the safety car would have shaken the race up with RBR able to pit at the right time anyway. Seb is really good out front but I still think Dan could have gotten him anyway. It's the same kind of random gift that allowed Vettel to win because of VSC in Melbourne. This poo poo happens.

And gently caress Ted (endlessly) trying to make the "slow ferrari pit stop (copyright Ted Krabsniz 2018)" a thing. Shut up Ted. Anything under 3 seconds is fine.

Bottas is dropped for being rubbish, Ham quits for a rap career, Vettel admits he's still addicted to red bull (hence the angry outbursts) and is fired for being off brand with his addiction (tabacco). So yes.

Only Kimi will keep his seat next year.

Bottas is barely outperforming Hamilton but yeah i think he is gone. Raikkonen is old, and i dont think he is confortable as second driver. Ricciardo at Mercedes or Ferrari is a serious contender for WDC. Hell if they keep loving around RBR could totally steal one of the titles.

In sintesis: Formula One is dead.

Both Merc seats are up for negotiation. Bottas is absolutely giving Wolff no reason to not extend and make himself (more) mad bank as Bottas' manager and Hamilton is posturing, saying that he won't extend if the car isn't competitive enough to challenge for the title this year. Over at Ferrari, Vettel is an equally man-sized pissbaby and will absolutely veto having somebody young, talented and hungry as his teammate, i.e. Danny Ric.

Ricciardo won't go to Ferrari to be #2. If Raikkonen wraps it up this year my HOT TAKE is Bottas will go to Ferrari and Ricciardo will go to Merc. RBR will pull Gasly forward.

Well, Vettel actually tries to collide with Raikkonen whenever they are in the same grid row, but most of the time Raikkonen manages to escape the trap and simply lifts (apart from the races where Vettel looses it defending his position against his own teammate and they crash)

Unless Vettel has a personal meltdown this year where he personally pisses away the WDC (More Singapores plx) then maybe we'll see Ferrari pursuing Ricciardo to be the Numero Uno. I think the Bottas to Ferrari and Ricciardo to Mercedes makes more sense tho tbqh; if Vettel loses the title from here it'll be because Ferrari don't keep pace with the Saturn Rocket that is Mercedes in season development.


Needs to be on pornhub IMHO

I thought he retired the shoey last year after Brundle did one to try to be cool, which ruined it. So I was very surprised he did one in China.

I guess he got thirsty during the off season.

Why on Earth would Ferrari want Bottas of all people? Kimi is there because he sells T-Shirts and hats, remember this is a team that placed Gutierrez of all people as their reserve driver, and then in haas, so they could get car marketing done in Mexico. Verstappen, Ricciado, Sainz, and Perez all stand a better shot at a Ferrari seat than a Bottas who won’t sell poo poo.

He tried to retire it because it was becoming its own thing. I think his last couple podiums last year didn't feature any. I guess he only wants to do it after ridiculous, improbable wins.

He's a consistent driver who has experience being told what to do but who can also serve as a perfectly capable number one if the 2008 scenario (Kimi hosed up, Massa took over as number one) happens again.

He's probably better than Sainz or Perez and he's far more likely to accept being the number 2 than Verstappen or Ricciardo.

I still don't understand how the rule about "leaving space" works in car racing. Alonso completely cut him off there while the car behind him was not behind him yet, it was almost side by side. Cars are stupid.
