Speedy be sleeping. Lazy.

Decent first time from Seb...split the Merc's,then Max on top

 

Didn't know Enkei rims were used for F1.

 

Nicole hits the armco just before the tunnel..

That was weird..looked to go straight on into the barriers .brake problems?

 

Could be game on ! unless merc's sandbagging..on the Soft's only.

 

Glowing discs yet the car barely slowing down...sure looked like brake failure to me!

 

/points and laughs

CRY NICO!

Sorry. Not really.

yep and rear wheels keep spinning. Maybe brake by wire failure of some sorts. On the onboard you can see how the car has little interest in slowing down.

Edit: Mercedes says the car was 100%, it was Nicole stuffing it up.

 

Bad "break" for Nico. lol

 

was that a werewolf in the manor garage? lol

 

For those watching on NBC...

Please tell me they fired Diffey????

Please, please.

 

And James Allen instead of Will... the improvements keep on coming

 

I know! Allen is excellent. I hope this is permanent.

 

Hope so for you guys. Used to have Buxton for GP2, always hyped anyone that did remotely well, and hated on the others. It became worse when he got the bump up to F1; became even more opinionated. Unlikeable chap.

 

Hamilton out for this session. Hydraulic failure.

 

Hahaha.

Ricciardo on a lap, Nasr comes out ahead of him in the pit, blocks Ricci with DRS etc. Ricci complains, his engineer ''yep, saw that...we do have to remember, it IS Nasr we're talking about'' .

 

Haas bringing some tweaks to their rear wing mount:

Bit of a mixed bag so far P2.Nicole fastest but some brake problems maybe.Lewis didn't get a decent lap together after the track rubbered in a bit after going wide several times,then hydraulic trouble.

Kimi looking good,with Seb not too happy with the balance.

Max and Ricci in with a shout for sure.

 

Will be the closest race of the year I think. All three teams in with a chance.

 

+1

I'd be surprised if Kimi does beat Seb here. Seb is MIGHTY around this track.

 

I was out

James Allen is the worst commentator in the history of everything. Just wait till he starts fanboi'ing over Lewis

 

Weather forecast is for morning/early afternoon showers next 2 days...so in theory should be dry for qualy and race.
