Current F1 status: snow day. I find it extremely funny that bottas is staying in a bus on the track.

Tyres have no grip on the cold tack so it’s not sandbagging, they really can’t go fast enough to set decent times. Normally what they would do is push very hard on certain corners or straights and then back off hard so the sector times show as slow. Data they are gathering will be near enough useless, but at least it will be useless for everyone.

At some point one man in a very expensive suit is going to turn to another man in a very expensive suit and say: “Ok, at what point does this stop being about dealing with the legacy of Ron, and start being about the reality of Zac?”

I unironically want Mclaren to win. Unless my child does not get on one of their partner programs in which case naturally I will be unironically damning them to the very depths of hell and blaming Zac Brown personally. (Got a mail saying offer letters were being delayed by sno, so she’s not been rejected yet, which I’m guessing is the universe building up to a really big gently caress you at the end of the month)

Little disappointments yes, except this would be such a deathly serious and monumental life changing thing that we are going with “it was a one in 4000 shot but if you had not tried you would have had no chance and always wondered “what if””

Lol, the engine notes coming out of those red bulls indicated that, although clearly they had one of the better chassis, there is no way in hell they are finishing ahead of Renault’s works team.

Kimi’s race engineer has left to go to manor endurance racing btw. It’s a bit weak if he’s the sacrificial lamb for last year “I’m sorry but you should have warned Kimi that Seb would come up the inside like a lunatic and take the pair of them out”

The problem is that Mercedes are saying they would join Ferrari in petulance quitting which is new, and would leave F1 with Renault and Honda suddenly having to supply a load more teams, which given they can’t currently supply works teams with non-exploding engines leaves the sport pretty much hosed.

I think when McLaren and Force India work out how to manafacture their own engines then yes they will have an equal say. Until then people like Christian Horner can posture and be placated by liberty as much as they like the works teams still have them by the balls.

1500quid my friend, this a bit awkward, do you simply not get that it’s the French and Icelanders who genuinely eat horses and Ikea is Swedish? The horsemeat thing was a pan-European problem and it originated from Ireland. It’s not even remotely annoying to the British when you post about boiled horse-meat because it’s simply not a national stereotype and never has been. The British also don’t boil their meat, that too is the Irish and french. Sorry.

I thought it was vegetables, Brussel sprouts in particular, that were boiled for three days and then served with a nasty fatty slice of grilled lamb? Alternatively, frozen pizza.

Google Regent’s Canal restaurants and stick with them. Everything else in London is pot luck if it’s a chain pub, terrible “celebrity chef” chain restaurant, or is run by hipsters.

That seemed a bit needlessly cruel and harsh there. Waffles is clearly going to be taken out by a sauber, and fernando will end up doing a blistering start only to have his tyre slashed by a red bull and then end up battling back up to a valiant 8th.
