So it would probably punish the smaller teams harder. That just sounds like a bad idea.

Right, that's exactly what I was meaning, but explained a lot better!

 

[DD]

I was reading an article when I saw this:

 

[RSP]

RIC also gets a 5-place penalty for replacing a gearbox.

 

[Theorry]

RIC also gets a 5-place penalty for replacing a gearbox.

They made a mistake. Its probably Max his car.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

They made a mistake. Its probably Max his car.

Watch Max retire during the first lap due to a gearbox problem.

 

[RSP]

Watch Max retire during the first lap due to a gearbox problem.

UGH!

 

[DrM]

Petronas and Mercedes extends their contract with new multi-year deal

Watch Max retire during the first lap due to a gearbox problem.

That would be something....

 

[mrklaw]

Watch Max retire during the first lap due to a gearbox problem.

At F1 Live when he was on stage, Max said he was targeting 2 laps for the British GP

 

[Adam Scott Aukerman]

Petronas and Mercedes extends their contract with new multi-year deal

That's interesting, Petronas were expected by some to leave the sport after the end of the Malaysian GP.

 

[DrM]

That's interesting, Petronas were expected by some to leave the sport after the end of the Malaysian GP.

Looks like rumors were false, maybe some thought that with final Malaysian race for some time, Petronas would follow...

The message could not be clearer: although this may be our sport's final visit to Sepang for the foreseeable future, PETRONAS is committed to Formula One and to Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport for the long term.

Press release

According to Twitter and live feeds the top prospect of British motorsport is having a blast

Palmer is trying very hard to unlock some pace, but he's used too much kerb at Brooklands and sent the car jumping.

"I'm getting some vibration from the engine. Fourth gear, high revs," reports Palmer.

 

[Theorry]

That Verstappen chuckle haha.

 

[Lemonte]

RB pit wall: "There's yellows in turn seven."

Max: "It's because of me."

 

[nekkid]

Sitting at Club. We hear the following on the screens:

Pit wall: "there's yellows in sector 2"
Verstappen (laughing): "yeah that was because of me!"

Entire crowd laughs, and follows with a massive round of applause when he drives past.

Yeah, you don't get that at any other race.

 

[Aiii]

But people tell me EJ is never wrong, fake news.

I will admit that I've had a couple of beers already, so presume any quote from this point is paraphrasing...

 

[Tempy]

Hmmm damp qualifying might be interesting...

And I'm definitely watching the F2 race.

 

[Lego Boss]

But people tell me EJ is never wrong, fake news.

He's a joker. That stuff he was on about with China GP was as hallucinatory as his shirts.

 

[Elros]

So, qualifying is in 1h50, right ?

 

[Lima]

So, qualifying is in 1h50, right ?

Yeh

Will be interesting if Ferrari can keep up with their new quali mode

 

[Mohonky]

So I'm just reading Ricciardo with a 5 place penalty for gearbox also.

So last weekend Hamilton had 5 places
This week Bottas and Ricciardo with 5 places

Ridiculous.

Of course Alonso with who knows how many.

Alonso has a 30-place grid penalty

 

[chadskin]

Alonso's grid penalty is called McLaren.

 

[BigAl1992]

Alonso has a 30-place grid penalty

Hear that? That's the sound of every McLaren engineer at the factory sighing in disappointment. Again.

 

[nature boy]

So Sauber and Mclaren fighting for that Merc engine

Lol

 

[Grug]

No rain expected for quali. Damn. Would have been fun.

 

[Orgun]

No rain expected for quali. Damn. Would have been fun.

Should still be a damp track though inititally, im about 30 minutes from Silverstone and it is grey and cold and damp.

 

[mclem]

Webber interviewing Vettel? Ooh, that could be fun.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Fair play to Eddie.

His Petronas prediction is proven wrong, he goes to interview Toto Wolff about it and puts his hands up and admits he got it wrong.

Still the GOAT though.

 

[Psychotext]

Webber interviewing Vettel? Ooh, that could be fun.

They've gotten on fine for ages now. They've done loads of interviews together.

 

[Zeknurn]

Hamilton is going to get pole and easily win the race.

So lets do the bet anyway brotkasten.

 

[tomtom94]

It's entirely possible Petronas deliberately leaked the info they were looking to leave to put pressure on Mercedes, but always intended to renegotiate. See also: this whole business with Cristiano Ronaldo.

I'm at the track. It's spitting, right now.

 

[Theorry]

Started to rain.

 

[mclem]

Sure... but they did just intro the interview with "Love will tear us apart" as the backing track!

 

[Xando]

Nice.

Wet quali should be good

 

[ElectronicOldMen]

what in the fuck... did crofty do the voiceover for the Cars 3 TV ads?

 

[nekkid]

It's still spitting, but getting a bit heavier.

what in the fuck... did crofty do the voiceover for the Cars 3 TV ads?

He does the in-movie commentary for Planes, so wouldn't surprise me.

 

[Zeknurn]

Here's hoping there are some upsets today.

 

[JDB]

Those Alonso vs Vandoorne qualifying stats tho

 

[TCRS]

No rain expected for quali. Damn. Would have been fun.

england gonna england

[kharma45]

Some people leaving this too late

 

[Psychotext]

Looks very slimy.

 

[Joni]

Hope it isn't the end of Ricciardo. Otherwise he is going be very low.

 

[Tempy]

There goes another Red Bull.

 

[Lima]

Red Bull pls

Hope it isn't the end of Ricciardo. Otherwise he is going be very low.

He is going to be last.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Damn, sucks for Ric

 

[Kalor]

Those reliability problems finally hitting Ricciardo.
