lol that radio about Wehrlein.

 

[Aiii]

Ocon throwing that shade.

"Wehrlein doesn't know what Wehrlein's going to don't worry about him."

I only tuned in for the last 15 minutes, but judging where Merc ended up and who was around them in the standings I'd say the sandbags were well and truly stowed.

Either that or they were massively struggling.

Good lord that was quick.

It's P1 during the hot part of the day in Bahrain.

Feels like a missed opportunity not to transform it into a joke about the "127 Hours (of Bahrain)"

Hamilton made his "quali lap" when the track was dirty ( it's still bad but better now ). Vettel lost at least 0,2 / 0,3 seconds in the first sector though.

"Guys where the fuck did you put Sandbag S137? It has to be SOMEwhere on the car"

One man.

One desire.

To find an ice cream

Car that doesn't like heat is slow in heat that isn't representative of the quali or race temps.

I'll just pretend I forgot that it's a night race.

"The Stoff" won't man his "Peter P rocketship" in FP2, apparently Mclaren will have to replace the whole PU.

Fake news tbh. Wax told us that Honda power units don't suffer failures.


edit: Speaking of which, there goes the Renault in Sainz' car. Are we going to see mass retirements this race?

 

[Zaru]

Aaaand another t-wing flying off the merc

German TV said it was the fire extinguisher that went off.

Ban by Spain please

Good. Gooooood.

 

[Zeknurn]

Ferrari pls

 

[h3ro]

Woof Ferrari.

They some how managed to sandbag their reliability during testing, not their pace.

 

[scorcher59]

Complete shutdown for Vettel

 

[Tempy]

Ferrari baton passing.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

I guess it's quite warm there for those tiny side pods.

What is that light shining down on the ground under the front of the Toro Rosso?

Sunlight finding a way through the little hole they put in the nose for cooling?

VER's car was damaged because he drove over the T-Wing!

It is so done now.

Looks like that's what trashed Verstappen's car.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Lol

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

Kimi is awesome...


He's gonna win this race.. Hopefully Vettel won't be behind him, otherwise he'll get the order to make way..

Spoiler

rightfully so I'm afraid

 

[Aiii]

LOL GP2. Jeffri and Malja colliding in qualifying ruining everyone's lap.

De Vries debuting at P3 behind the Ferrari juniors, LeClerc on pole .676 ahead of Fuoco.

Jup. Now also the shark fins.

 

[navanman]

GP2 madness, some of these guys are pure stupid.

LeClerc looks like quite a talent.

He was in a league of his own in GP3 last year, believe me!

 

[Diablohead]

those T-Wings are fugly, ban them.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

I've been through the desert with a horse with no name..

 

[RSP]

So VER's FP2 was killed by a T-wing.

How quickly can these rules change? Any chance a ban might happen before quali or the race?

I would think it will be a race or two before anything changes, unless another one falls off this weekend and causes someone problems again.

Nah, but next race is fine.

Good. Ban the fucking things.

Ecclestone calling for Liberty to reduce fees for race promoters'. What a fucking guy.

He said he was doing what his bosses at CVC wanted. They just wanted money.

When you run a business doesn't mean that you do what you think is right. you simply do what makes more money..

Now that he's not in charge, I don't see what's wrong in saying what he thinks "personally" ..

 

[DBT85]

Ban by Spain please

Could easily go before the race on Sunday on safety grounds.

 

[FrankCanada97]

GP2 madness, some of these guys are pure stupid.

Basically, you should ignore everyone who was out qualified by the 9th season driver Johnny Cecotto. Leclerc is a great talent. I think he is going to win the championship by a large margin, especially being on Prema.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Fake news tbh. Wax told us that Honda power units don't suffer failures.

The MGU-H overheated due to the new floor which caused the auto protection to kick in and shut the power off. Honda still haven't suffered a terminal failure in any part of the PU, all changed parts are in the reusable pool.

The FIA uploads full race replays for the F3 European championship. Today was race 1 of 3 for round 1 at Silverstone. This is the series that has a Newey, a Schumacher, a Piquet and a Habsburg in the field.

[Aiii]

They don't upload replays, they live stream on YouTube.

 

[FrankCanada97]

Being on the other side of the ocean, by the time I get a chance to watch F3, they become race replays.

Stroll apparently had a tough time during the second free practice session, with overheating in the feet area of the cockpit.

Also this little exchange during FP1 gave a chuckle:

If it was anyone else, it would just be a glitch. But because it's Stroll, it's probably a bad omen.

Can't wait for the F1 / Crusader Kings crossover game.

What's the purpose of the weird extrustions on the side of the cars?
