Ha, Danny and Max get on really well. Nice stream.


Ted's Notebook this week has some amazingly awkward moments https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5oARnC3ZUQ

Is that Andreas Mikkelsen at 07:18?

Rainy morning in Monaco

Rain is so bad now that the Porsche Cup was cancelled due to so many crashes.
Could be a mega race if the weather stays the same for the afternoon.

High chance of a safety car start for the GP if weather remains poor. But every driver I've spoken to today says they want a proper start.

[Shaneus]

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.

It's the great legacy of Ferrari. Webber was the same, from memory.

Edit: Oh shit, hope the weather clears enough so as to not diminish Danny's tyre advantage.

 

[DieH@rd]

I want a wet race, but without too much interference from race control. Let them fucking race.

Plus a little added Schumi idolation.

Which reminds me... I should probably re-watch "GrandPrix" someday... Not sure I have it in my tho... So long and I'm not sure it aged too well.

Well it's poorly edited and a bit boring of a narrative, but what a masterpiece of cinematography. For my money there's no better racing film than Grand Prix. And it really shows how dangerous the 1960's F1 era was.

James Garner did his own driving in the film, and it was apparently so good that none other than Graham Hill and Jack Brabham told Garner he could've been an F1 driver if he hadn't done acting. Or so the story goes anyway.

 

[Zeknurn]

This is going to get a lot of use.

 

[aspiegamer]

Right now it looks like there'll be a band of rain yet at the start, but things could dry out over the course of the race. Subject to extreme change, of course. The rain is mostly light but isolated pockets of heavy.

 

[DrM]

In our quest for greatness the road is often rough, but we must overcome our fear of the unknown and have absolute courage. Nothing in life that’s worth having comes easy.

Some idiot in Formula 2.0 just crashed in Sainte Devote while Safety Car was out and he was setting puprle sectors. Safety Car? Instant ban for few races.

Didn't Garner own a Indy team? I seem to remember reading something about it and about him driving the pace car at the Indy 500 a couple of times when he died.

Red Bull sticks with Renault for further 2 seasons:

Also Toro Rosso will get dem TAG Heuer power units.

I wonder about the sanity levels of Torro Rosso engineers right about now.

I wonder about the sanity levels of Torro Rosso engineers right about now.

I'd say they're extremely happy to have a competitive engine in that splendid car of theirs next year. Podiums are a possibility.

If it's wet and he retains the lead he'll have the advantage of clear vision. In both cases he needs to make a good start and if he does, in both cases he has an advantage. A better advantage if it's wet IMO.

 

[Hasney]

He'll also have the advantage of being fucking on it™ and take the win if reliability is there.

 

[Zeknurn]

Sky F1 is live if you want to listen to Lazenby.

 

[Shaneus]

I have a bad feeling he's going to get dicked around somehow, by pits or whatever. At least Max will be so far back he won't really come into it.

Going to watch it live (airs at 10pm here), hoping I don't regret it. Hell, one of the Mercs could well try and torpedo him at the start. Just hoping Danny is on it, launch-wise.

 

[PdotMichael]

With the rain it wouldn't matter.

But I don't know what would be the adventage of starting with super soft.

 

[Aiii]

If one thing is clear from these parade lap interviews is that the drivers absolutely loathe Herbert (and with good reason), they all look like they'd rather be drinking a bowl of posion than talk to the fucker.

All three Sky pundits have the personality of a resurrected potato.

No it doesn't.

TIL that NOWTV doesn't support Chrome or Edge. Using Internet Explorer to watch the F1 today, LOL.

Via which broadcaster? I'll be watching it via Star Sports, with their iOS app. Also noticed today they have the Formula E races archived!

Anyone know any online (good, legit) broadcasters other than they? Anyone broadcast in 60fps? Happy to pay, obv. But otherwise, quite happy with Star Sports, could be far, far worse.

 

[Hasney]

Lot's of standing water, rain still spitting and my breakfast is being delivered.... Perfect.

 

[Hasney]

Good to see Roscoe got an advertising deal. His fur did look well hydrated.

 

[aspiegamer]

Rain looks like it'll end around race start time.

How is he still racing when the situation back in his home is critical and he won't receive any financial support?

 

[Hasney]

Hoping so, just don't want a safety car start.

Haas on inters, nuts.

 

[Tempy]

If he's smart he should look at other sponsors. Car Insurance plz.

 

[Spades]

It will be mega disappointing if they start this behind the safety car.

who would even take him? Venezuela is a dumpster fire right now and his oil money checks had issues with renault. Would be risky for a poorly funded lower team to take on.

[hamchan]

Raining. Wonder how many red flags there will be. Should be an interesting race now. Sucks for Daniel that the conditions are now like this but oh well, that happens.

Random question: are you allowed to code radio messages? I know you're unable to code illegal communications, but what if the communication is legal but you just want to hide it from everyone else.

NowTV just gives me Sky Sports. Can't watch it on the TV downstairs, so I just bought the £6.99 day pass to watch Sky Sports today.

It's illegal, and pretty obvious when they're doing it.

 

[nature boy]

Sky, no one gives a fuck about celebrities.

Race should be entertaining with rain/wet track.

Good to see Patrick Dempsey hanging around F1. Shame he's not driving in Le Mans anymore

Oh great, and now it's Flabio.

Are you sure? The only mentions of it I can find is using coded messages to get around bans on disallowed communications.
