Austin USGP 2018 Pre - Race chat

I wonder if anyone inside FIA, if anyone inside SF or AMG etc reads FChat posts...

 

ITs going to rain all day today
FP 1 and FP2 will be a waste of time as FP 3 should be dryer and the race with only 10% chance of rain

 

great pictures thanks for showing. that floor on the Ferrari is crazy

 

Hahaha, a lesser spotted hooded pumpkin troll..... good spot

 

What is it with COTA and rain?

 

Texas.

 

Is it this time of year? Seems like it rains every year.

 

This was taken after he just left the clown convention in San Marcos. He was the key note speaker

Wait until December. You can go down to the border with Mexico and get snow [and NOT Miami "snow"]! It happened last year.

 

What kind of clowns..... NOT that there's anything wrong with that!

 

Unfortunately it will not matter as Vettel already has a 3 place grid penalty for the race

 

I wonder if they will be on the cars in Mexico - "Toro Rojo y Pollo".

 

NUTS! Incredible detail, thanks for posting these shots Joe.

 

Vettel fails.again...

 

Money can’t buy class.

 

It has been unusually wet the past two months, but this is the time of year that is most likely to happen. It's been more like Seattle than San Antonio since the beginning of September.

 

Interesting note from the Pit Walk on Thursday, watching the teams practice pit stops - only Ferrari uses a dummy steering wheel for the pit stop practice, when the mechanics push the car into the pit box and a mechanic is sitting in the car to steer and hit the brakes! Every other team had the regular square steering wheel full of dials and buttons and screen, but Ferrari uses a very old school round steering wheel with nothing on it.

(I will post a picture later)

 

This is Seb's new training wheel.

 

The FIA adopting the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy. I'm sure that all of the teams can be trusted.

 

Fantastic pictures thank you!
