Not quite sure what to expect today, FIA setting a maximum tyre stint length of 18 laps due to serious safety concerns, means it'll have to be a three stopper (possibly even more for some drivers) or get disqualified... Could be a borefest, could be chaos.

This track is a total farce

Sainz out before he's even left the garage. Ferrari always finding new ways to Ferrari.....

Against my better judgment I'm actually going to watch tonight. Quali throwing up a few surprises and talking to a another F1 fan at a party last night has got me in the mood.

Bet its poo

Still waiting for something to happen to Verstappen. Ferrari should be telling Sainz/Leclerc to race him extra hard on the first lap.

Hopefully we'll get some carnage at T1, mix things up a bit more. Not a great track for overtaking so will most likely be another borefest with Verstappen driving round the Ferraris for the win.

SkyBlueSoul · Oct 29, 2023

Fuck me, I was joking but he's literally just driven past the Ferraris into the lead

skybluecam · Oct 29, 2023

Zzzzz

Perez though…

skybluecam · Oct 29, 2023

Surely he’s due a mechanical failure at some point.

skybluecam · Oct 29, 2023

Heavy crash that one. Red flag could liven things up a bit.

SkyBlueSoul · Oct 29, 2023

Good chance for Norris, I would have been happy with a points finish after he started 17th but hopefully they can get a decent haul now.

SkyBlueSoul · Oct 29, 2023

Well that didn't age well

SkyBlueSoul · Oct 29, 2023

Enjoying this charge from Lando tbf, hopefully his tyres stay with him

EvacSB · Oct 29, 2023

Norris had a terrific race today, great recovery drive after the restart

SkyBlueSoul · Oct 29, 2023

Yeah that was a very impressive drive from him. Didn't see him getting that result after he went backwards off the line.

EvacSB · Oct 29, 2023

I'm surprised the medium tyres held up for so long after the restart, I thought the hard tyres would've been the better option but clearly not.

Toto Wolff potentially joining Ratcliffe's bid for Man Utd after working together on the Mercedes/INEOS partnership. I knew he'd be loaded but I hadn't realised Wolff was a legitimate billionaire in his own right (worth $1.6bn apparently).

Man Utd ownership: F1's Toto Wolff would consider joining Sir Jim Ratcliffe bid

Mercedes Formula 1 boss Toto Wolff says he has spoken to Sir Jim Ratcliffe about joining his bid to buy a shareholding in Manchester United.

Can see him leaving F1 soon anyway, Mercedes are a mess

SkyBlueSoul · Nov 15, 2023

Nahh it's fine, the guy who's responsible for this shit heap of a car has decided now is the time for "new adventures beyond Mercedes", completely of his own accord. With no job lined up. Not pushed at all.

SkyBlueSoul · Nov 15, 2023

Just watched the first episode of the Brawn GP documentary by Keanu Reeves. Really interesting so far, reveals a lot about what went on behind the scenes. Nice to have the interviews done by someone who actually cares as well, he gets a bit giddy at times (which is fucking with my head after bingeing John Wick last week).

The dramatic cut scenes are a bit cringey but I'll let him off.

Saddlebrains · Nov 16, 2023

Tried watching last night but my disney plus wouldnt load ffs

SkyBlueSoul · Nov 16, 2023

Brace yourself. Obviously there's good reason for him to be interviewed, but it made me laugh just how much screen time Horner gets in a documentary about someone else.

I'm thinking of getting Disney just to watch it, but this is the one thing putting me off. The pure sight of the man is usually enough to make me want to vomit, and that's before he opens his big, whiny gob.

That's why I laughed, he pops up within seconds to make out his team were good samaritans in even letting them race and Brawn betrayed that by outsmarting them. I'd still say it's worth it, insightful and some very interesting points of view put across in all the other interviews I've seen so far. It's essentially everyone involved on the Brawn side being happy, then Horner and the head of Ferrari at the time seeing their arse about it.

Edit: Obviously that's only after 1 episode.

Horner is a proper c**t. Definitely loves the smell of his own farts.

Saddlebrains · Nov 16, 2023

Horner is a c**t

But

He's one hell of a team principal. What he along with Newey have done with Red Bull is phenomenal

SkyBlueSoul · Nov 17, 2023

Sainz's car got fucked up. Chassis, engine and battery all damaged and he'll miss second practice. You can see from the onboard how much force it hit the car with. Second practice delayed while they try and fix it but due to start at 2am local time. Shambles.

LOoKs ePiC THoUgh.

clown show continues

SkyBlueSoul · Nov 17, 2023

No fans for FP2 either, they closed the fan areas because it's too late...

hill83 · Nov 17, 2023

It’s happened at other street circuits before but I really hope this shit show goes completely tits up

How truly ridiculous!

Paul Anthony · Nov 17, 2023

This is turning into a proper farce, isn't it.

I'd say it's unbelievable they're making Sainz take a penalty for something so far out of his or the teams control, but then it's the FIA. They don't do common sense. If they did, none of this malarkey would even be happening.
