I was afraid there for a second that he'll say Nico.... Rosberg. ;p

Me too. But then he clarified by saying Hunkelbah...

"FIA blocks Piquet Jr. Formula 3 return"

http://www.gpupdate.net/en/f3-news/339142/fia-blocks-piquet-jr-formula-3-return/


Yeah, thought it was improbable that an experienced driver would be allowed to race in F3 which is meant for beginners.

 

[Aiii]

Those matching driver numbers though.

 

[Megasoum]

Thinking about something random this morning... I wonder why they don't make two and three seater F1 anymore.

I miss the Arrows and all their crazy PR stuff.

 

[Aiii]

Probably too expensive, costs quite a bit of money to run a demo car and crew. I think Minardi were the last to build one.

Yeah I know... Now that you mention it, I also miss Minardi lol. The original back marker team (I started following F1 in 99).

I've been thinking for a while about finding a whole season of races from the early '00 and watch it again.

I hated Schumi for a very long time.but now I kinda miss him

 

[nature boy]

Can you feel the love?

Can you feel the love?

I need to watch it, when I'm back home.

 

[Aiii]

This is hilariously awkward. I'm loving it.

Daniil just won the press conference by talking about when he received the news and how he went back to watching Game of Thrones after the phonecall with Marko.

[Big Takeover]

He too is going to have to come back from the dead, so it seems like an appropriate watch. "Now go fail again".

 

[nature boy]

Heh Kvyat with the jibe.

"I get to keep my podium".

Lewis is trying so hard to keep that poker face.

When is anyone ever happy in F1 these days?

Grosjean in Melbourne? Vandoorne in Bahrain?

Kind of bored of all the misery and the grumpiness with modern drivers.

 

[Psychotext]

I think Firstberg is pretty happy right now.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

This is probably the best thing you'll see today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDkJNK9fdtY

that was great

It has nothing to do with modern drivers and it's always been a part of F1. Drivers are just never happy.

Motorsport.com - Lewis Hamilton will get exclusive use of a revised and improved MGU-H for the Spanish Grand Prix, as Mercedes bids to end his run of reliability troubles.

Third time's the charm?

Incoming issue with the new mgu-h

That's his 4th. In weekend 5. That means he'll definitely be handed more grid penalties halfway into the season.

... Nico might actually walk away with this one.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Kvyat's watching Game of Thrones and he didn't anticipate the betrayal? Most good/neutral characters on the show are getting stabbed in the back and there's stuff to learn from that. ;p

What's the over under of that thing going up in smoke at the beginning of qualifying like Hungary 2014?

 

[nny]

Can you feel the love?

Look at Alonso's dead eyes...

Alonso though: https://www.facebook.com/Formula1/videos/600000463490273/

...yep, he's completely lost inside his head, dreaming of better days.

yesssssss

Interesting read from Peter Windsor on the flaws of the RB young driver programme, some interesting insights: https://peterwindsor.com/2016/05/05/another-first-corner-skirmish/

 

[swordfishtrombones]

Alonso should get some championship points for that reply "... they changed drivers?"

 

[Shaneus]

I think I like Alonso even more these days, seems to be the Ken M of F1.

Ricciardo... all the time.

Except when Kvyat torpedoed Vettel into him.

Radio excerpt from Kev's side of the garage:

"So Kev - Jo's just headed out, we'll be going shortly."
...
"It's Esteban in the car today."

(Esteban Ocon)

 

[ramparter]

FP1: Hamilton can't even beat Vettel, it's over already.

Spoiler

not serious

 

[DrM]

It is just crazy how fast Mercedes can be on medium compound, they had figured that compound into the last detail

good Christ, I had no idea those things were mobile units, I thought they were track specific rentals.

That's it for Esteban today, issue on the car means his #FP1 session is done. #SpanishGP

Damn, what a shame. At least he has 2 days of testing after the race.

lol

is there a timelapse video, or even photos, of those things being put together? how many trucks does it take? I'm imagining Optimus Prime but the reality is probably less impressive.

 

[Psychotext]

It's actually really interesting watching them put them together.

 

[DrM]

I expect pole time to be high 1:21 or low 1:22, unless there will be rain

Mercedes only 0.4 behind Ferrari on other compound

 

[brotkasten]

I'd love to see that, yes.

LOL poor Alonso...thats even better than Kyvat being a prick

 

[Mastah]

Wonderboy within 2 tenths of Dan. This guy will be on a podium this year and who knows, maybe with a little bit of luck pole position or win is possible.

 

[Danielsan]

Pretty decent first run for Verstappen, outside of shredding one of his tires at the start of the FP.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Ferrari P1 and P2 huh?

*don't get excited*

*We've all seen this before*

*This means nothing, Mercedes is not even on the softs*

*We will still get crushed*

*But what if this year is the yea..

NO! DON'T GET EXCITED*

*stay cal....*

GEEEEERMAAAAAN JEEESUUSSS RESSURECTION WILL BE COMPLETED IN BARCELONA! PRAISE FERRARI! THIS YEAR IS THE YEAR BROTHER BROT! YAAAAAAAS

 

[brotkasten]

Oh, hey. Look. It's Ferrari doing glory laps in FP again!

 

[Theorry]

Meh. Nobody is gonna use Hard this weekend and that set he had to give back also after 35 min.
