Ricciardo looks so goofy in this one.
Yep.
Sadly yes. It was probably the one place where they could complain and moan and question stewardship anc track changes in private but now won't be able to.
Drivers Press Conference was particularly awkward today. Hamilton was playing with his mobile phone all day. Kimi was there. For some reason both Wehrlein and Palmer were there. Sainz was slumped so far down in his seat he barely got his head over the desk.
I know it's not the most fun thing in the world to sit there and answer dumb or difficult questions, but for fucks sake lads, some of you get paid tens of millions of dollars to be the PR front of your team and sponsors, put some effort in.

Best hat.
Spanish press is starting to fuel the rumors that the Honda engine upgrade that was tested at Sepang by Alonso is going to allow McLaren to fight with Ferrari in the last races of the season. Don't know if they are using the same McLaren-Honda rocketship source but if this happens...oh boy.
While I agree that Lewis didn't behave like it should in a professional environment, they do have the change the formats of the press conferences. Drivers already have media days where they meet everyone and even do some 1 on 1 interviews with local media. Unless there is some major controversy, I don't remember the last time there were some relevant information that came from a drivers press conference.

The "budgie" nine got off with fines for public nuisance and 1 year suspended jail sentence and I assume are on the plane back to Australia as I type. Interestingly, one of the nine was an advisor/staffer to one of the most powerful government ministers!
Motorsport has bought Autosport and a bunch of other properties.

Sauber seriously considered taking up an entry slot for the inaugural Formula E season and is still evaluating doing so in the future, says the Formula 1 team's boss Monisha Kaltenborn.(Autosport.com)
I could see the Sauber team dropping F1 for Formula E if the EU Commission or Liberty Media doesn't make running an F1 team financially more viable.

Same thing happened here in the US with auto enthusiast publications. They've all been gobbled up and centralized.
I'd normally call bs but they ve been getting close. I really hope it turns out to be the case.
Cheeky RIC.
As someone who works in the publishing business, this is pretty much par for the course everywhere. Small publications simply can't survive in this world anymore, not enough advertisers, not enough income. The only way to survive is to be a big player so you can combine or even outsource non-editorial departments to service multiple publications.
Probably all they can afford.
OOOOOOOOHHHH!!!

It's an irrelevant event and the drivers are bored as shit.
Why are drivers going to say truly interesting things days before the race that could become a distraction, and most want to get past the last race and dodge those questions too.

They have a time table and calendar on the right side. It shows you the time at the circuit and lets you switch to your local time. It's really neat.
Yay, this is a nice feature. Thanks.

That's because it's terrible. It's such a terrible half step. Either go full fighter jet cockpit for real safety, or leave it how it is.

So, Alonso with the new engine got the 9th time. I missed the the first practice, but how many laps he did? Or he broke the car, and jsut did a few laps ?
Thanks SunhiLegend. I can sleep through practice with you on the watch.
Here's the schedule for the Hong Kong ePrix
I hadn't heard of the e-Touring Car Challenge until now but it apparently it's a bunch of electric Golfs going around the track. Why do I have a feeling that it will be a carnage because of the track?
Paddy Lowe telling Kravitz that the smoke during Rosberg's practice start was a surprise and that they will look into it. Uh oh? #followthemoney #blessed

For his stunt last race.
At least this freaky THING is not on the track.
And holy fuck, that Kvyat rollover. I hope he walked away OK.

Eh? I'm pretty sure he's alright, because that happened 12 months ago.

Things are no looking good for both Mclarens.
I cannot read tweets and flashbacks in videos apparently.

Horrible performance from both Mclarens.
Even with the new upgrade, Alonsos car looks as bad as Button.
And people were saying that they might win, score a podium and fight with the Ferraris.
