So eh,
How old are you guys/your cars that you all seem to know about double (de)clutching?

I just turned 30 on Friday last week, my first car was a 1989 Alfa 33 manual.
It looked like thishttp://imgur.com/a/kbJpD except I used red and green electrical tape to give it a tricolore racing stripe down the middle of the bonnet, roof and boot.

I did not learn about double clutching, nor did I learn about single clutching. In fact I burnt out the clutch a couple of times....

I was not a good manual driver.

My older brother bought one for his daughter, that's her there. She's 7 years old. :3


Also; Alonso's MCLRN sounds like it's an old Combi van when it rattles over bumps. The engineers might need to tighten the screws in the dashboard or something.

Speaking of deluded narcissists, I wonder what Lewis makes of this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/6eu8qk/whos_the_sexiest_driver_on_the_grid/

You need to go along way down to find him.

From going through that thread I was reacquainted with Charles Leclerc. Current Ferrari Academy driver, currently placed first in Formula 2. Lots of contracts are up at the end of this year yeh? Wouldn't mind another driver hailing from the mighty F1 driver heartland of Monaco...

e: Also Jean Alesi's son Giuliano is also in the Ferrari Academy, which would explain why Jean Alesi is oftentimes in the Ferrari pits.
e2: Also Jean Alesi's son is half Japanese, because Jean Alesi's partner is Japanese. Whodathunkit??

Man, nobody does a car chase like Hollywood. Was the manhole cover a tip of the hat to Monaco?

I used to love this movie as a kid, now as an older man I have so many questions.
1. Who started the engines for them?
2. How did they manage to fasten their 5-point harnesses by themselves?
3. How did Stallone's pointy crocodile shoes fit inside that foot well?
4. How many glowing metal sparks can Stallone possibly drive through without going blind?

If you get hit with the wrong penalty and serve it then there's no way that you should also be given the "right" penalty.

He won't be around next year anyway.

Yeh that's pretty harsh from the stewards, I'm with Kvyat on that point.
I guess they felt that the drive through wasn't enough of disadvantage once it had all been said and done, and someone who wasn't paying too much attention was like:
"Hey how come Kvyat is so far ahead? Hasn't he done his stop-go-penalty yet? It's been like 12 laps!"
And then everyone else in the stewards room just look at each other awkwardly while one of them is thinking "I done goofed"

Pretty sad tale for old Daniil over the last couple of years...
