Formula 1 The F1 jibber jabber thread.

Fuck, Hamilton just can't catch a break. Hell of a lap from Ricciardo, though.

 

[ECA]

Also danny ric did q2 on supersofts not ultra softs so he won't be pitting for a looooong time tomorrow.

This - absolute genious, to be honest.

 

[~Yuckfou~]

Looks like Red Bull have a great chassis & aero. If they can sort their power out they will be serious contenders.
Rain predicted for the race so could be a lottery.

 

[Embattle]

It'll be fairly boring as usual without some rain.

 

[ECA]

Monaco is wet atm, with more rain forecast.

 

[Jupitus]

Yes, that was expected... could be an interesting day ...

 

[~Yuckfou~]

Oh, you want some tyres Daniel? Hold on we'll be with you in a minute.

 

[caLLous]

Wow Rosberg drove like a pussy in the wet. Unless he had "brake problems" on the last lap as well.

Who let Justin fucking Beiber anywhere near proceedings?

 

[ECA]

Salty ric/redbull fans raging at hamilton.
Ric still would've won if the team remembered their tyres

 

[caLLous]

Lol Rosberg doesn't like pressure.

 

[ECA]

He doesn't like it up him.

 

[caLLous]

Well worth a watch.

Baku is sounding more and more like a disaster waiting to happen the nearer we get. Apparently 90% of rear tyres were damaged after FP1, there are people out there welding with no goggles or anything, the run-off areas are... sparse (and also car parks, according to this from the GP2). Yes it's a street circuit but it's a bloody fast street circuit (Mercedes clocked Bottas at 351km/h).

I do love this lower camera angle though. Grosjean had it on his car for the race in Canada, it looks great.

 

[Moriath]

Looks really narrow and not much over taking, and theres bound to be safety cars. I think its monaco withput the style.

 

[Embattle]

Reminded me of F-Zero.

 

[caLLous]

I started watching the GP2 race on lap ~5, we're now on lap 20 and there have been 3 safety cars and 9 retirements.

 

[caLLous]

Ten cars out now, 5 of them on the first corner of the first lap apparently.

 

[caLLous]

 

[caLLous]

Baku has some incredible architecture.

 

[ECA]

Race will be interesting tomorrow - with that massive straight I reckon lewis will be in P2 within 5 laps of the start.

 

[caLLous]

I don't know, he might struggle with the Williams boys.

 

[Rubber Bullets]

He'll have to get round the first corner which, given his recent form at the start and the fact he's in the midfield, is not at all certain.

 

[~Yuckfou~]

Lol Hamilton doesn't like Baku.

 

[caLLous]

Lol Hamilton doesn't like Baku.

Phew, I'm glad you're ok. I was getting worried after you went very quiet at about the same time as Hamilton reduced that points gap from 43 to 9 in the space of 2 races.

Anyway, you're absolutely spot on, he clearly hates Baku.

 

[~Yuckfou~]

Alas 10th when the heat was on.
I'm predicting a DNF for the race.

He doesn't like it up him.

Funny that he said the other drivers should stop moaning about the circuit.

Fascinating...yet meaningless.

Went to shit, literally as soon as it actually meant anything.

 

[caLLous]

It's literally the opposite of meaningless in response to what @~Yuckfou~ said. Yes Hamilton fucked up in quali (for whatever reason) but to suggest he doesn't like the track or can't perform at the track is just retarded when he's been comfortably the fastest in every session up until then. To also suggest that he can't perform under pressure is batshit crazy. How many times has he had 1 shot at grabbing pole and done it? See just a few races ago for the latest example.

I'm expecting quite a few DNFs tomorrow judging by how the GP2 race went, whether he will be one of them is anybody's guess. We know he is quick, we know he will drive aggressively and we know there are overtaking opportunities.

 

[~Yuckfou~]

Ah bless.

The thing is... with that straight he can finish P2 almost no matter what, so he doesn't need to take ANY risks.
That said, we all know lewis has no chill.
