Why did he bolt so fast from Redbull? They had one bad year due to the Renault shitbox which seems much better now. They still have a great chassis.
Ferrari is still incompetent with flashes of luck.

I'm kind of afraid this is true.
Not because of age. He's only bordering 29, there's still room for another team in his 30s.
But his driving and behaviour on track feels ... disillusioning, even given Ferrari's current state. I realized I've only been rooting for him because he was messing with Mercedes last year, but almost anyone is fine for that, really.

Isn't there a couple of deaths a year at this thing?There are 157 cars on track this year, all separated in 3 starting groups that compete in their individual rankings [but they quickly meld into one another, with faster cars speeding by the slower cars all the time]. Last group has slowest cars, there you can find anything.

I don't remember any fatal accidents at the 24h event in the last few years.
Maybe you are thinking about the Isle of Man TT that is starting this weekend.
British F3
Driver is OK, if you were wondering, he's been released from the medical center. No reported injuries. Not sure what happened there exactly, as I can't seem to find any video of it.
Looks like it dig in to the grass from that pic.
Looks utterly terrifying.
He always wanted to race for Ferrari. When he left RBR was shit, Mclaren was trash and Williams is still Williams. Better to try Ferrary when you just have Mercedes to catch, I guess.
He'll be gone from them before he's 30, I would imagine. Plenty of time to get in another good car and win another championship.

Isn't this the old school configuration that's open to the public? I heard that track was still killing people.

As if it wasn't difficult enough already
Nurburgring/Nordschleife is such an amazing track.
GAF F1 experts prone to hyperbole? Well I'd never...
Vettel? No. Vettel is still the best on the grid outside of maybe Hamilton.
Ferrari? They give me no reason to think they can have the best car.

Currently watching the stream. It's awesome that they've been greenlit to race in these condictions.
I've been watching for only like 10 minutes and 4 cars have dropped out!
haha. Touché. He was properly blown out of the water.
Last year . A GT-R take-off at flugplatz killing one or two spectators. It was VLN race, just before the 24h.
Warning.

Jesus, what's going on at the Nordschleife?
Can you take me to the Ring and the castle please?

Without the reliability/crash issues and better strategy calls in Australia and Spain, Vettel could realistically have had more points now than Rosberg does at the moment.
And I'm sure they know this. Which will create anger and frustration that leads to people getting sacked and the team looking no better next year.
Honestly, given the performance of Toro Rosso and Force India here, McLaren might only have trouble even calling their chassis 5th best...

...lacks reading comprehension.
The funny thing is if he wouldn't have been so bad that season his contract with Red Bull would have auto-renewed. Only because he lost to Ric was he able to land at Ferrari.
Funny enough, due to circumstances, at this point (after spain) he still had more points than Riccy that year. It'd be interesting to know at which point he REALLY decided to get out.

Ha, Danny and Max get on really well. Nice stream.
Just last year we were all saying it was a great idea for him to change teams. Vettel has achieved so much at RBR anyways and has always been a Ferrari fan. I still think it was good for him to change.

I only have the DVD, not the Blu-ray, but it is still stunning.
I actually only have the VHS (it's on 2 tapes!) lol... I should buy the dvd or bluray.
I have LeMans on DVD which I should also watch again. I remember that the first line of dialog in that movie is like 45min in lol

My DVD is across 2 disks as well, restored from the 65mm print. Probably the best looking DVD I own. Keep meaning to pick it up on Blu-ray now that it's available, I think it was HD-DVD exclusive for a long while!

Renault should have told them to piss off after last years debacle but alas they are their only chance at success.
Until they hopefully succeed in rebuilding the enstone team that is.

Yeah this guy agrees with you.
The marketing people are probably too scared to leave him out(and i can't blame them).
There's a chance it might pass by the start, but if it does it'll probably just stop immediately before the start. There's actually only a 30% chance of rain at 14:00 local time but there's something like a 80% chance at 13:00. The track is almost certainly going to be wet at the start. I actually think a fast drying track might be better than a rain storm, it's the tipping point between wet and dry where it's tricky for the drivers, especially with the tunnel.
