Quite interesting

 

[Moriath]

Another procession really.

 

[Embattle]

I see Mercedes have screwed the pooch again.

 

[Moriath]

Well seems it didnt matter that they didnt get lewis in.

 

[Jupitus]

That was a great race though - a bit of everything!!

 

[caLLous]

That could've been a lot worse for Lewis. The first safety car certainly helped but that was a hell of a recovery drive.

 

[Moriath]

Enjoyed that race. Nothing like a bit of rain to put the cat amoungst the pidgeons.

Gastly going on full wets wtf!

Awesome drive by lewis.

 

[caLLous]

Brilliant from Lewis, it was starting to look like he was having a really shit run of races but he pulled it out of the bag today and Mercedes made a great call putting him on ultras. I saw the rain coming the lap after he'd come in and thought "oh no they've bollocksed it up again" but not this time. I'll never not enjoy watching Vettel falling off of a race track.

 

[Jupitus]

Great entertainment and championship is still wide open!

German Grand Prix: Hamilton summoned to the stewards to put result in doubt

Hope they just fine him. Or dock a couple of points or maybe a 5 place penalty for the next race.

 

[caLLous]

I hope it's none of those things. The likelihood is either a reprimand or a 5/10 second penalty.

It would explain why he was still putting in fastest laps towards the end, if the team was anticipating a time penalty.

 

[caLLous]

 

[Embattle]

Can he get a reprimand for his haircut as well?

 

[ECA]

Can he get a reprimand for his haircut as well?

He deserves 12 penalty points for that.

 

[DaGaffer]

He deserves 12 penalty points for that.

Noticed how he took his helmet off before he got out of the car? He's really proud of that monstrosity.

 

[Moriath]

the interview with Jensen that was before his hair was buzzed short .. it must be extensions .. no way he grew hair that long in a short time lol

DANIEL TO LEAVE TEAM | Red Bull Racing Formula One Team

I have to say, it's a strange choice on his part to go to Renault. I'm sure he could do better...

Who? No slots at Merc, seemingly no slot at Ferrari and RB are going to be Honda-powered next year. Renault kind of makes sense in that context.

Honda haven't been doing too bad this year, so far. Especially to say they're powering a B-team, with inexperienced drivers, they've had some decent results. They seem better on reliability than Renault so far as well... If I'd have been in his shoes, I'd have stuck with Red Bull, but just signed for a year provisionally, to see how the Honda situation works out. Plus the situation at McLaren so far makes you wonder just how much of last year's problems was actually down to Honda...

All true, it just seems like a step down rather than sideways or up for such a talented driver.

Fernando Alonso: McLaren's Spanish driver to retire from Formula 1 at end of season

 

[Moriath]

Awesome GP today. Loved mercs strategy

 

[caLLous]

Wonderful effort from Ferrari. P9 for Vettel because they made a complete lash of Q3.

 

[Jupitus]

Was an enjoyable race today

 

[Moriath]

Was on too early to watch and was out for the replay. But i am happy for vettle

 

[Deebs]

Come on Hamilton!!

 

[caLLous]

Hamilton thanking Brazil in Spanish. Poor form, Lewis.

 

[Exioce]

He basically forewent an education to become the greatest racing driver in the world, cut him some slack.

F1: Quality of racing could improve by 20% in 2019, says Ross Brawn

I'm not convinced you can really quantify the quality of the racing in F1 until it happens.
