Some early shots of the pit lane setup. Force India is a less bold pink than I thought, much more pastel.

Like also. If you hate the live posting during the races..don't look at the loving thread during races?

Seriously half the poo poo some of you bitch about is self induced.

"Oh God I hate every one of you " *comes back to the thread year after year.

Edit: my phone posting typos are loving horrible lately.

Holy gently caress it's getting touchy in here. I didn't even say that was a bad thing, just pointing out that race weekends don't produce a lot of essay length posts. We better get some racing soon, before this place goes nuclear.

I don't judge you for your phone posting typos, but I might have reservations about your crippling need to be in this thread when mobile.

Some of us work poo poo jobs with stupid internet restrictions like me so I end up dicking around on my phone most of the day because a solid 60% of the internet is walled off.

Also a pro tip: don't Google "used VAG tranny for sale" on work computers.

Not sure if you were just wanting to see Taylor Swift or what, but if you (or anyone here, really) don't end up with race tickets this year and there's a show you want to see at the end I'll give you my ticket(s) for free after we leave the track on Sunday. I guess that would also apply for any of the events after the F1 stuff on the other days too. We have 2 small kids and/or dinner plans so we don't stay long after the main events for each day. Feels like a bit of a waste so I'd be happy to let someone take advantage.

It wouldn't matter for the concert, but the seats are nice and only available to people with PSLs (T15 looking down the straight before turn 12, and you have a nice view of 13 through the start of 16). You'd need to figure out your own parking though unless you also have a handicap (other than being a goon and posting in this thread). We have B Lot parking passes I could give you if you have a placard.

PM me if interested as the date gets closer and we can try to work something out.

The BBC have made an entire quiz solely to point out that Bottas looks a bit evil because he doesn't have a lot of hair and he also has eyes

I think they have a point, Bottas should be suspended until this can be properly investigated

Our company outsourced it so it results in some really stupid poo poo that is American/Britain based being blocked along with generic things like "forums" being in the URL but anything outside that is open.

It does infuriate me to no end that MLB.tv is blocked but a local sports network's streaming service isn't so everybody gets to watch hockey at work.

You can tell I'm off work because I'm barely posting.

Every year I forget that I can't watch the free practice sessions live because it's too chuffing early. Hopfully Liberty have some common sense, and will move the first race of the season to a place in a time zone where the majority of it's viewer base will be awake for it. Even having race 1 in America would make more practical sense.
