I watched it on aussie TV which doesn't seem to have as many ad breaks as USA, nor the "britishness" of sky. The 10 channel is annoying in its own way but they are normally genuinely happy for whoever does well. Plus I was being lazy and CBF finding a stream.
:lol: Haas
Also :lol: TR being right where mclaren started with the honda engine. Improved it? Get hosed. Mclaren certainly made the right choice dropping that boat anchor but I feel sorry for TR now. Not for haas though buying last years ferrari and still loving everything up.
Feel happy for Sainz that he got out of TR.

Here is my Official FIA FORMAULA 1 Circuit Over View of Baharain International circuit

Baharain is a shithole oil country that we somehow put up with on the Formula 1 calendar because they have lots of money and they like to work south asian and african immigrants to death so they can look good internationally because they probably have a load of oil they can sell to ppl or something I don't give a poo poo.

The circuit consists of a number of corners and straights and I'm sure the people who drive on the track have things to say about them where they will end the sentence with the phrase 'for sure'. Here is an example 'bahrain circuit is a lovely track for a lovely country for garbage people for sure'
At some point a driver has set a lap record on this circuit, its pretty fast.

Apparently this track has 15 corners here are the names of the corners


1) oil corner
2) brutally beat muslim women for asking for basic human rights corner
3) confiscate migrant workers passports bend
4) lack of human rights hairpin
5) oil corner 2
6) migrant worker death toll corner
7) anti LGBTQ rights kink
8) have you seen those guys here that get their cars on two wheels and stand on the outside of the car corner, thats some hosed up poo poo
9) LaLaLaHaleHeloHalow
HelaBalaHeHelaBalo
We gettin' Arab Money
We gettin' Arab Money
HacaShegeHaLitiFaLa
MiliAlaySheNitiMala
We gettin' Arab Money
We gettin' Arab Money curve
10) That time when there was some sort of uprising in the area and a load of the local track workers got beaten by police hairpin
11) Oil corner 3
12) forcefully shipping in poorly paid migrant workers in to sports venues to make the place look like less of a poo poo hole bend
13) Oil corner 4
14 & 15) These are just one corner what is this bullshit

They also overfill the oil on these so as soon as the crankshaft starts turning it's gonna throw all the oil up the PCV.

Yeah but this isn't oil breathing, it's oil burning. Unlike what people are saying before with F1 engines that tight tolerances can be there when cold so artificial heat sources are needed pre startup, ferrari seem to have extremely loose tolerances when cold. So loose that oil is burning on cold starts and will burn until seals expand.

As soon as I saw all that smoke at ausgp I thought ferrari have loose tolerances and poor sealing when cold. Anyone who has had a rotary engine with tired oil control ring seals knows that sight. The neigbourhood can fill up with smoke when cold and then seal up and stop smoking. Same thing with tired turbo oil seals, only smoke when cold

I'm fully on the Dan train after last race. Make Austria (and red bull I guess if we really have to) Great Again.

His qually pace makes me sad though. He's no where near as good as vettel, hamilton or verstappen in raw 1 lap qually pace, and his starts are usually bad.
On one hand that makes for good entertainment with passing on track, OTOH, in China he was just circulating in 6th and off the pace until everyone else stuffed up allowing him through; he would have been 6th without the safety car.

Remember when Alonso was still on the books to be at Ferrari in 2015?
He wanted Mahrk to be there too.

Webber had a chance and blew it but was popular in the paddock. Also pains me to say he was a better qually driver than are dan. Dan is a better racer and overtaker though. (LOLs can come in here putting them in the same sentence due to webbers crashes and incidents, but no-one can rubbish webbers first win -- it was spectacular and 1. came from pole position so he beat vettel in qually, 2. came after a drive through because webber has got to webber so there was a lot of overtakes). I loving wish are dan could qually as good as webber.

Dan is unlucky right now and the choices may be hard because merc might be on the decline, ferrari is often poison to good drivers and redbull might get the honda working in a year or 2.
Move to merc when they are on the descent, move to ferrari when vettel is there and accept the poisoned team/#2 driver or really shake things up? Might be better off staying with RB until merc sort things out, or ferrari beat them solidly in performance and work out their team/strategy.
But staying at RB then dan has to live with uncertainty/short contracts and also verstappen (being the slower qualifier to verstappen will hurt long term IMO). Also be at risk of losing out if honda works out and the TR up and comers threatening the premium seat - if someone comes up almost as good as are dan then the replacement may just happen for salary/marketing reasons.

bombshell: quickly becoming not an alonso fan. What I admired about him most was putting a car where it didn't belong as far as results. Dragging lovely ferraris around and challenging for wins is why I like him (trust me, it took a lot of this dragging around for me to forget the cheating renault days). These days the shine has worn off even though getting past vettel was "putting the car where it didn't belong.txt", it was just empty to me because there's not really any hope in the end. It was more like last gasp and give no fucks.
*drinking resumes and no fucks given*

Nah, it will more like max has to get past dan on the first corner like normal, but kimi will make the better start of course and be in the mix/in the way. One of those cars isn't going any further than the first corner unless dan blows his start so is not in the way and kimi aces his start and flies past both before the corner.
