    Too bad I didn't get to see the race on TV in my part of the world. It got pre-empted by "plays of the month" :frown2:

    Seb sure has changed since he went to Ferrari, wonder if the pressure of being the "next Michael Schumacher" is getting to him?

    Maybe Kimi has the right idea, just relax, drive the car - then get drunk and don't worry about the rest?

    I'm sure Seb is under huge pressure there at Ferrari. Some of it surely from the team, but he brought a bunch of his own along with him. His last year at Red Bull he was melting down & I'm sure he thought going to Ferrari would be his salvation. That has not worked out & he's having another melt down & this is worse than the last. I hope he can calm down before he does something very stupid on track. :fingerscrossed:

    Ross Brawn says he doesn't have a new job working for the new owners. "... he said the company was not ready to make any definitive job offers."

    Come on, Liberty, time is important. The cheers when Bernie is finally kicked to the curb will be unanimous, but sooner is far better than later. F1 continues to slide and the longer you wait to hire someone to step in and rebuild the slippery slope built by Bernie the worse it will get and the harder it will be for him(/her) to turn things around. Hire Brawn to fix the sporting side and someone else for the commercial side and get rid of the Muppet.

    "The delay in the announcement was because Stroll only turned 18 on 29 October, thus any date before then would be inappropriate and illegal to announce a teenage driver sponsored by Martini.

    When seen in the F1 paddock this past season Stroll has always worn Williams team gear without Martini branding. As the legal drinking age in most countries is 18 the deal can now be announced."

    Since his daddy reportedly has $2,400,000,000 he should buy all of us a martini or two.

    That is an interesting read. I read it a few days ago someplace or another, but it wasn't as complete as this one. Thanks for the link Steve.

    I lost a lot of respect for RB. It was clear Verstappen was holding up Vettel so his team mate could catch him, when he knew good and well he needed to give up the place. I do not blame Vettel for being mad, I was yelling at the TV. I thought it was BS what they pulled. The other thing I don't like and have never liked about F1 is you dare not say anything bad about those in charge. Babies!! Yes Vettel should not have used bad language but give me a break what RB was doing was WRONG!!

    Yes Max was doing a bad thing, but remember RB told Max to give the position to Vettel. Max didn't do it so it was all on Max. Truth be told Vettel in a similar position would have done the same thing as Max did.
    As far as not saying anything against F1 goes, NASCARP is the same. Vettel needs to take some meds & calm down. If he didn't have his helmet holding his head together it Shirley would have exploded.

    Ia am absolutely certain that Seb would have done the same once upon a time. We all remember "Multi-21" right? When the adrenaline is flowing, any driver could suffer a lapse of judgement.

    Max's issue is that he's got a mix of youthful immortality, plus the adrenaline, and a teenagers' dose of testosterone which makes for some high-octane crazy filling him up.

    That all being said, our little Maxie will be a world champ in the not too distant future.

    Of course he will! He's aggressive enough, talented enough, and driven enough for it. And he'll earn it too.

    Very few champions don't have a few reckless incidents in their pasts. Some had more than a few. *coughAyrtonSennacough*

    A designer named Tim Holmes has been posting his renderings of what F1 cars would look like if they were wrapped in liveries based on the drivers' helmet designs. I think they should make this happen for at least one race, or maybe just each driver's home race (or chosen race if they don't drive in his home country).

    I think he's done them all and I'm going to post them here as I find them.

    The Merc boys.
