    Yes no DRS in the rain. The last thing they need is more MPH at the end of the straight. :wink:

    So many wins & so many championships, but what have you done for us lately Ron? Please don't let the door hit you on the way out. This is sad.

    There were more things to watch than, but the safety car & red flag did want to put me asleep. :sleep:

    Though I agree, my admiration of that drive is tempered slightly because I assume his performance was aided somewhat by a new set of tires while everyone else was hoping theirs would last. I'm not complaining, it was fun to watch and I'm glad RB made the "mistake" of going to intermediate tires and having to switch back.

    I wonder how it would have gone if they'd just left him on the wets, aside, that is, from us missing out on that drive through the field. Could he have held 2nd? I guarantee he had more fun on that run to 3rd than he would have had just holding 2nd.

    To my mind Max was the only one who seemed to attack the track. Others just drove around hoping to survive. Max saw it as an opportunity to gain points & maybe a win. His lines were great, classic rain lines that gained him an advantage.

    Is this the sign that Alonso plans to switch from F1 to WEC?

    Yup. Didn't see that coming. Figured he probably wouldn't be driving again in '18 but I didn't expect to hear this until middle to late next season.

    Now that's what tires are supposed to look like.

    My thought is Nico desperately needs a DNF. :fingerscrossed:
