I mean, look at how well the Kyvat/Verstappen swap paid off for RBR.

That, and as I've said before here, Mercedes had a bargaining chip with Williams in the form of engines.

Did they even bother showing what happened to Kvyat in China? I'm not even sure the announcers on NBCSN bothered to say anything about it or go to a replay, just a quick cut of him peeking his head above the tire barriers. He's gotta be done after this year if not sooner.

I started taking notice of Ocon when Force India went pink and the kid had the balls to roll up in this helmet:



That's a sweet helmet though. Over the weekend someone (the reverend?) posted about how the FI should be bright pink and I was going to suggest it needed glossy hot pink accents on a flat matte pink field with just a touch of black and white highlights but that was far too many words for phone-posting.

Didn't realize I could have just said to copy Ocon's helmet for the car.

Not quite, still primarily the flat pink it currently is, just with accents like what's on Ocons helmet instead of gray/red and bland black it has now

calling it now, Hamilton and Bottas wheel to wheel by first corner, Lewis makes an aggressive move at T1 and Bottas bitches out and loses an additional place to Vettel as a result

Stroll and Palmer to make a poo poo sandwich together T1 as well

Not really, early on he was making those gains but after that initial burst he was only around a second faster per lap, and eventually there were more seconds than laps. There was one lap when he was something like 1.8 seconds faster when Vettel hit traffic but he was never in danger barring a failure.

I got the impression that until Lewis cut the gap down to 5-6 seconds that Vettel and Ferrari were not just saving pace for Vettel's sake but to dangle the prospect of a challenge for the win in Hamilton's face hoping he'd push the car too hard or make a mistake in his fervor to close the gap.

Good thing he didn't say something similar about Lewis although that would just mean he'd be treated like a living God in the US Grand Prix.

why would they treat him like a god at the US Grand Prix? its not like they're racing at Texas Motor Speedway

a lot of people seem to like Lewis, at least those that turn up at CoTA or are in Austin for the weekend.

They have their own servers where they'd get decent latency and play with people who speak their language, but instead insist on playing on US servers and still speak only portugese unless you suggest they play even a minor part of their game differently, then they'll swear at you in really bad broken english.

Everything else is typical online gamer poo poo, but they like crank it up to 11 with all of that added on top. See also; russians in DOTA but swap portugese for "cyka blyat"

holy poo poo. I googled at a 2016 GT350, that's your wife's car? That is a loving beast. Dunno how it goes around corners, but it looks like it'd pull like a motherfucker.


It corners really well but its tail happy for sure. Then again, so was the 01' M coupe (with the s54) she sold to buy it. The exhaust note on that voodoo v8 is incredible :allears:

She looked at R version but it didn't have a backseat...so she just got all the R upgrades minus the stupidly expensive carbon fiber wheels since we're not really looking to set record laps at the track. Then they decided to offer the GT350R with a backseat in 2017 :negative:

Jesus Christ Honda. Happy for Bottas' first win even if he seemed largely indifferent about it. That Massa poo poo was hilarious, especially his interview about it after the race. Sebastian Vettle is a good egg. Lewis Hamilton is shook as hell. Eddie Jordan should do all the podium interviews.

That looks like the work of the same guy who did those awesome art deco F1 posters they had for sale last year. I contacted him to see if I could commission him for a Spa poster to match the ones they were selling and seemed to indicate they were going to do some more work for F1 in 2017. This could be part of it. His name is Alex Sylt and I'm going to start looking for where these might be for sale.

For someone who can go through double digits of miles a day you might think I would have the legs of a greek god for the power and endurance but I do not. I have skinny Vettie legs, but at least they are tanned.

Does he have a personal trainer? I recall him talking about how stupid he thought driver coaches were while he was losing the championship.

He did an interview where he talked about how he didn't see the need for a personal trainer because he could do it himself with better results--so that's what he's doing this year and I'm so glad he is because I can't get enough of Weezy L. Hamilton on the radio.
