Horrible performance from both Mclarens.

Even with the new upgrade, Alonso’s car looks as bad as Button.

And people were saying that they might win, score a podium and fight with the Ferraris.

Who did?

They're as useless as Ferrari, but few positions down

And people were saying that they might win, score a podium and fight with the Ferraris.

Maybe they forgot to feed the hamsters that they are using as engines.

Rosberg is on form today. Hell of a lap that.

 

[Paradise Brunch]

Both Haas drivers are doing great.

 

[aspiegamer]

Haas a legit 4th fastest! I'll take it! But, seriously, sorta out of nowhere.

Rosberg should have this. Hamilton spent too much video game time at Suzuka where the fake grass on the outside of Degner don't unbalance the car.

I though Alonso has been saying the engine upgrade offered no increase in power, was for weight reduction and reliability or whatever.

 

[ramparter]

I expected McLaren to be close to Force India

Was this the last engine upgrade for this year or do they have another one coming?

 

[Line_HTX]

Huh, both Haas made it to Q3, holy shit.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

This is nice

 

[SunhiLegend]

First runs in Q3

 

[jey_16]

Kimi doing the business!!

 

[Paradise Brunch]

Wow Rosberg.

 

[ramparter]

Totto Wolf so relieved Ham didn't make it. All going according to plan.

 

[Mastah]

Haha, team radio interview with Herbert

 

[Lach]

Oh, they're copying the Formula E radio interviews.

Nice one!

 

[Aiii]

Team radio interview wow. Also, yay. Good stuff FOM.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

Good stuff from the Iceman..

From third he can aim at leading in turn one


and awesome touch with the Rosberg interview!

 

[Deadman]

Kimi's lap looked great

 

[Juicy Bob]

Rosberg deserves a world championship.

So impressed with how he's stepped up this season.

 

[Lach]

It really looks like the Liberty Media takeover shows it's first changes...

Wonder if they'll be able to do live radio interviews in Safety Car periods like they do in Formula E. I feel for Formula 1 it still requires too much concentration even during Safety Car

 

[SunhiLegend]

Final Q3 runs

Team radio interview

 

[jey_16]

Ferrari actually not that bad for once, 2 tenths ahead of the Red Bull's

 

[Aiii]

Ferrari actually not that bad for once, 2 tenths ahead of the Red Bull's

No worries, they will fuck it up tomorrow.

 

[Zeknurn]

It turns out that having the Mercedes supplied teams be forced to turn down their power units makes for a more competitive grid. Who would have thunk it.


Now who will win the start lottery?

 

[Line_HTX]

I almost expected a BOOP from Rosberg on that radio interview.

:lol

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

Ferrari actually not that bad for once, 2 tenths ahead of the Red Bull's

Isn't the Mercs turning down their engines for Suzuka?

 

[Juicy Bob]

Bless you, Sunhi.

 

[Line_HTX]

How will Vettel DNF this time with another Nicki Lauda HUH gif?

 

[Zeknurn]

The first Formula E shakedown of the season is live on Facebook.

Prost starts the season by stopping on track.

Happy Grosjean: "Thanks everyone. Sometimes I'm a bit of an arsehole on the radio but at the end that's what we want, to go fast!"

 

[Juicy Bob]

Wish the Hong Kong ePrix was a night race.

 

[Zeknurn]

Wish the Hong Kong ePrix was a night race.

Agreed.


The Renault edams livery is mighty fine.

 

[ramparter]

Kimi has a decent season at last.

 

[thenexus6]

Disappointed with Honda, hopefully they can do better tomorrow.

 

[Xando]

Just woke up.
Is the qualifying worth a watch even if you know the standings already?

It was pretty exciting for me.

Daniel Johnson ‏@danielt_johnson 44s44 seconds ago

Well that was odd. Lewis unhappy about reaction to presser the other day and says he won't be answering questions. Never a dull moment

.

 

[Jezbollah]

Lewis is a fucking drama queen.

 

[xrnzaaas]

GP2 engine strikes back

 

[Massa]

Lewis is a fucking drama queen.

He's right though, I don't know how people can still take these fake-ass boring conferences.

 

[nekkid]

Am I the only person who thought the Snapchat thing was amusing? I mean, those conferences are plain shit.

Also, thumbs up for getting Daniel Johnson's knickers in a twist. Guy has always been a prick - well-suited to writing for the Telegraph.

By all accounts his message was polite today.

 

[Jezbollah]

He's right though, I don't know how people can still take these fake-ass boring conferences.

Obviously Lewis is not being paid enough to be interested in sitting down and answering a few questions for half an hour. It's not as if he has sponsors or a huge automative company to be an ambassador for.

Those sponsors would prefer the fans were engaged.

Hands up, who here actually watches the whole conference or reads the transcript?

 

[hamchan]

I watch the conferences when I can. Love to hear some Q&A from the drivers.

 

[DrM]

Isn't the Mercs turning down their engines for Suzuka?

Probably they did not use the full power qualifying map, but less powerful one.

 

[Upinsmoke]

Might finally have a decent race tomorrow.

 

[jey_16]

Maybe Lewis thinks his $30m a year isn't enough to answer some questions at a press conference

 

[Cheeseman Battitude]

Quite impressed by the team radi ointerview. I wonder if they'll go a step further and do it in a safety car situation.
