Interesting, what's next Vauxhall?:crazy:

 

.....and exactly which country will McLaren Honda start from in this race?

" the two planned changes will take his engine count for the year to 11 and is expected to result in a 50-place grid penalty. "


How does one do a 50-place grid penalty in a 20 car field?

 

The reason they give 50 place penalty (instead of only saying you are starting last) is that if other teams have penalties then there is a means to determine who actually starts last.

 

The US GP, and now the Mexico GP is not being shown on cable here in the Vancouver BC area (Canada if you must). It got pre-empted by football last week and this race , horse racing takes precedence of Formula 1. AAAUUURRRGGHHH!!! :shocked:

 

If it's dry, will the Mercedes brakes make it to the end of the race?

If it's wet, could this be Verstappen's first win?

 

Nearly as complicated as Formula One Group.

 

Weather looks pretty sunny on the pre-race show.....

 

Fairly boring race.

 

I slept through 75% of it (missed the Finn on Finn violence, had to watch clips of it from Jalopnik). I do like the stadium portion of the track and it was cool that the podium ceremonies are held there!

 

Actually was very impressed with the circuit and the massive crowd that attended!!! The wheels really fell off for Ferrari with Kimi proving he should not have gotten a contract extension and Vettel putting in possibly the worst performance of his F1 career, definitely the worst in the red car. With that went any chance of a race at the front.... Red Bull's recent performance leaves me wondering what might have been had they worked with Renault instead of throwing them under the bus publicly, isn't a partnership one where each party helps the other?

Over all we enjoyed the race, of course whenever Hamilton doesn't take the checkered flag we usually do!!

Looking forward to the next race!!

 

haven't bothered to tune into an F1 race since Monaco and looking back at what I learned online about this season, I think that's also going to be the proper approach for me going forward.

F1, for the first time since about 1975, has dropped off my radar. "Yawn" doesn't even begin to describe this sanitized form of corporate showcasing. I think they totally lost me when the engines lost their scream and they strapped dildos to the nose of these cars.

But it actually is worse than the regulations: the entire package has been on a path to sterile sanitized boredom for a while now, all driven by the interests of the mega car makers who need a show that is a reality version of a well crafted car commercial, and the closer they get to that, the less drama is left anyone can get excited about. Predictability is important to the corporates, but racing is supposed to be the total opposite of that.


Sadly, it looks like nothing will change next season.

 

Vettel's performance has been like that when the car isn't handling well. He doesn't have the best talent for getting the best from a poor handling car.

Never mind.
