    Fans getting burned out from getting to watch a race once a week?

    I guess the NFL, NBA and MLB are all doing it wrong.

    I believe this race will be the beginning of the Merc dominance for the rest of the year.

    Unfortunately.....

    I should have made it clear that I was referring to the in-person crowd at central European races.

    Yup. That's what happened last year. Maybe Val Terry Badass can give Lewis a run for his money . . . .

    Great photos of track prep and the extra wings stacked by the garages. I'm gonna say that just the RACKS that hold the extra wings cost more than my little FIAT!

    But when you fell asleep after all those "thrilling overtaking maneuvres" and fuel saving you only have to recover one week from this excitment until it start again... :D

    Looking at the picture, are they removing the two foot path between the wall and the white line?

    take it for what it's worth....:confused:

    Mercedes says a “quality issue” means it’s power unit update has been delayed until the French GP, so no Merc-powered teams will have an upgrade this weekend .

    Every ****ing year it's the same.

    With all of FIA's bitching about safety it's incredible they still haven't insisted on a new, functional surface:rolleyes:

    Mercedes and Ferrari in a similar boat. Vettel will run the new spec Ferrari PU in lower engine modes after Kimi's spec 1 reliability issues. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    This is'nt about racing anymore. This hybrid era 2018 is going to focus way more on reliability. This is really getting pathetic.

    Ferrari posts them on their hashtag or twitter page. They post them prior to the weekends GP.

    Here's 2017's in hi-res....all 20 of them.

    Thanks Joe, I've got a few other waiting to make it to my garage wall :)

    Just a shame they post them on twitter...as I don't know anybody who uses it/knows what to do with it! They should pop them on their websites! (Yes I'm a luddite!)
