You're right. The video isnt good enough. I'll add them ASAP for new readers.

The video is very bad and the "music" goes against the Geneva convention

Also, a better title given the actual content is "F1 2017: A thin excuse for jealous foreigners to bash Britain"

It's not that bad for now but just wait until Lewis dares to beat Germany's Seb Vettel and the hateposting will sink the thread to a discourse level that makes Rivals.com look like a Virginia Woolf novel

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

Also at the same time it's hosting the GP, Melbourne is also opening it's sporting season. What I'm saying is, holy poo poo public transport is going to suuuuuuuuuuuuuck this weekend.

This was pretty fun. I don't get the people who say modern F1 drivers have no personality, these guys are all so good that even Vettel couldn't ruin it

It's pretty clear that McLaren have told their drivers and staff to let loose on Honda publicly if they feel so inclined. Alonso pretty much said nothing the last two years except for the occasional in-car outburst, but this year he has repeatedly and strongly criticized them, with no defense or mitigation coming from Boullier et al. So if they are playing up their issues, they're doing a drat fine job of it.

This is actually a sign that the team is in disarray, there's nobody (competent) at the helm. Anarchy reigns. They are shocked and disgusted by the way in which Ron Dennis, McLaren's father and soul, was removed by shady foreign interests just as his comeback with Honda was about to enter its most critical and victorious phase. For the good lads in the resistance at McLaren I have only one piece of advice to help deal with Hack Clown... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfWlot6h_JM

A couple of points about the race:

1. I don't know who are all the new people who write 1000 posts a day so I can't catch up with the thread but they should stop posting, get out of the forums and (ideally) get sent to Venezuela as part of a trade for El Hefe's freedom
2. What a sad charade of a race we saw on Sunday. Singapore 2008 anyone? It is obvious that Wolff and Lauda are rooting for Vettel and gave Lewis the worse strategy on purpose, though I will admit Toto's table-punching was a nice bit of acting. If I were a Mercedes shareholder I would be furious. Who am I kidding, I bet most of them are EU bureaucrats who hate Lewis too.

In case it helps improve your opinion of me, I no longer think that your favorite driver Nico Rosberg is the worst driver of all time. It is now clear that Valteri Bottas is somehow worse.

He had some sort of mechanical issue, didn't he? Hard to keep track since the FOM feed hardly shows him (I wonder why). It's sad that he has to keep dragging that terrible Renault around instead of the championship challenger he deserves

Look, I'm not gonna defend Palmer's driving here but it's documentated that it was a sticking brake issue of some sort. He's even DNF'ed on the official classifications with 'Brakes' and this isn't something conjured up out of fat air.

It's probably not his fault, it sounds like he got caught in one of those "filter bubbles" where the Facebook algorithm keeps feeding him misinformation from the mainstream F1 media

You really don't have to launch into a full paragraph of ranting everytime you hear someone likes lewis.

Tony, much like Toto Wolff and most Rosberg fans in this thread, has been agitated and aggressive lately, it sounds like they're not sleeping right. There must be something causing them nightmares...

Wild theory. Tony has expat parents or grandparents and think they are representative of the people "back home", when the reality is that all a lot of expats represent is the Australian wing of the BNP.

I don't know why Tony gets so much attention, the actual content of his posts are very similar to 1500quidporsche's and many other posters here. At least he's honest about what he's trying to say, I respect that.

The EU are wasting their time if they think they are going to silence us by getting a bunch of Vettel followers to mod this thread. The facts remain the same:

1. Lewis Hamilton will win the 2017 WDC, against his team's wishes if needed
2. Gibraltar will stay British

I bought Damon's book because it was highly recommended and so far it's boring as poo poo. He's just going on about being the son of a legend and I don't really give a gently caress about that, I want war stories and cool things that happened during his career. But I guess it's Damon Hill so I got what I deserved.
