It's race day. Just under 5 hrs to go. Bets on who will crash at the castle 1st? Team orders for Merc? Forza Ferrari + Ricci
Grosjean, Max, Vettel, Hamilton and Bottas Kimi for the win Dan for 2nd and Perez 3rd .................. off to Ladbrokes
Probably a walk in the park (street) again for Lewis ,depending what happens in the first few corners. Kimi is in a good place,hope he doesn't get screwed again..Seb has the older engine. Max was looking very fast ,so expect some fireworks ,although i don't think even he will try a move around Vettel into T1 around the outside! If it is half as interesting as the F2 race which i am watching right now ,we are in for a treat. A one stopper ,strategy very important again ,safety cars etc.
https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1-wolff-briatore-mercedes-alonso-922995/ What did they talk about? Mercedes to pay for Alonso to drive the McMerc?
The castle corner looks dangerous as hell, but that's just what the FIA wants, a deadly crash there. They know what the public wants. All their talk of safety and mumbo-jumbo is just that: talk.
Stewards are ****ing up in the support races with penalties...Sector 2 is massively long, drivers lift off for where the flags are but still able to set a personal best sector = penalty, even though the stewards can clearly see the lifted! It's 2017, ****tards.
Could be a total joke of a race, nowhere to overtake a Mercedes anywhere, so I'm guessing finishing order is the starting order, less the usual muppets that crash - stroll, Palmer, Erickson, van drone, and lil Maxine, plus of course Alonso's engine will go pop on the main straight when it hits its vmax (121mph hehehe)
Why o why must US carriers pull a schizo almost every weekend!! They showed race start as 1 pm all weekend, and luckily I woke up naturally this morning in time to see the pre-race starting at 8 am.
No love lost then between Ferrari and Allison. If this is true, Ferrari is ****ed for the rest of the season I reckon.
Mariah is a **** lol. Wow what a reaction. Even more of a diva that Elton! Flavio insisting he's honouring Alonsos contract with McLaren... But he didn't mention it ends this year LOL
I thought of that, but if true why did it take so long to come out? Also, there was already a clarification on extra oil tanks or such being banned - why do Ferrari still have one?
