Is this going to be another Canada 2011?

Spa 1998

 

[Aiii]

I wish Flavio would return, put him in charge of Renault.

 

[stryke]

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.

They better have a good plan b all the way to z. Rain and safety car is gonna fuck everything up.

 

[nny]

Wow, Ghostbusters helping Lewis with his car.

 

[DrM]

He looks like some Wermacht general

 

[Hasney]

I wish Flavio would return, put him in charge of Renault.

Fuk that cunt.

Now Ranieri, bring him in.

 

[Ark]

The smile on Fernando's face there: "anyone can win this!"

 

[DrM]

I wish Flavio would return, put him in charge of Renault.

He would be perfect for Ferrari though

 

[sammex]

"Hi random celebrity #3, are you a F1 fan?"

"Not really"


Great stuff from SKY.

And so many amateurs almost guarantees am SC. Hasn't considered that until now.

 

[Ark]

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

I misread your original post, I thought you meant coding stuff to get around the radio ban. IIRC coding legal stuff is totally fine, you used to hear it a lot before the radio ban tbh. Ferrari would just speak Italian on the radio, Mercedes have a bunch of weird callings.

But yeah, I think it is allowed.

 

[Upinsmoke]

Never change kimi

 

[Mush]

Kimi don't give no fucks.

 

[Zeknurn]

This is going to be carnage.

 

[DieH@rd]

Brundle did not do a great job today on the grid, but oh well...

 

[hamchan]

Brundle just bumbling around and only finding Kimi to talk to was pretty hilarious.

 

[Aiii]

Monaco always sucks as the drivers stay away and they have way too many celebrities on there.

 

[DrM]

35 laps behind safety car for sure

By "misread" you meant "I read the first 4 words"? ;-D

Thought that was the rule. I bet there's plenty of unnecessary switches being pressed.

 

[nature boy]

Too bad it looks like a start behind SC.

 

[Xando]

This start is gonna be chaos if they're starting without safety car.

Spoiler

Hope they do

 

[Mastah]

SC start

 

[nny]

SC race

 

[nekkid]

SC race

The entire race, lol.

I told you all. Monaco is shit. Even adding rain makes it shit.

 

[PdotMichael]

What a joke.

 

[TheChamp]

And this race just became pointless, whats the point in full wet tyres if you just going to go SC when it rains

 

[Staab]

Goddamn :/
that blows

 

[Juicy Bob]

Bernd Maylander to win, confirmed.

 

[nny]

The entire race, lol.

Yep, no overtakings allowed, just have the cars parade behind the SC to entertain all the celebs.

 

[Blablurn]

Remember the rain races of the 90s



F1 so soft now

Sounds exactly like what happens even without the safety car.

 

[Hackbert]

mhhh back to mercs nuerburgring battle... seems more exciting

 

[moojito]

I was just thinking "maybe it'll be another crazy race like '96. Wow, that was 10 years ago this year."

Nope, 20 years. I'm so old :<

 

[Par Score]

I can't remember when it changed, but it's been like this for years now. A decade ago this would have been a proper start and we'd have had a race on.

Now if it's a bit damp? Maybe a chance of some fun? Time for the Safety Car.

They just got sued by the family of a driver who died in a wet race.

If they had a standing start with all this spray and there was a massive shunt, they would be rightly slated.

All because, let's be honest, a lot of people watching just want to see a big shunt...

 

[Lender]

F1 is such a fucking joke these days. I still remember watching 1998 spa live, now that was a proper F1 rain race.

 

[spuckthew]

Hamilton's only win here, incidentally, was a wet race in which he started third.

 

[Deadman]

It's not even raining.


I look forward to the day they do the races in the simulator because a real race is too dangerous.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Just Terrible.

Racing in the wet in monaco is more than just crashing. It always brings epic races. Remember 1997?

 

[nny]

rolling staaaaaart

:/

 

[Aiii]

Nasr from the pitlane too, huh?

 

[Ruruja]

Lame as fuck.

 

[brotkasten]

Can't wait for Ferrari to make the wrong tyre call.

 

[Tempy]

Kvyat is in trouble.

 

[SictorVullivan]

boooooo

 

[Juicy Bob]

We are literally racing in the wet right now.

 

[darkinstinct]

Boring race in rain is still boring. Gonna watch anyway.

 

[brotkasten]

Max having the last laugh.

rolling staaaaaart

:/

Turns out that Gran Turismo is indeed the real driving simulator!

 

[bobnowhere]

Jeez, what were those marshalls still doing on track? Bloody dangerous in the spray.
