[Zeknurn]

I've missed EJ.

 

[Staab]

Mmm, I don't see it.
Sure, they're annoyed but still, that money.

 

[ElTorro]

I'm preparred.

We should change the stakes. Maldonado is a thing of a past. Are there more contemporary alternatives? For instance:

 

[tonka]

Pastor is a badge of honour. The real forfeit should be palmer or stroll.

 

[brotkasten]

None of the other drivers have faces so ugly to make for embarrassing avatars.

 

[Zeknurn]

I'm going to predict another Bottas pole.

 

[PdotMichael]

Hamilton already cracking under the pressure!

 

[Zeknurn]

Looks like Mercedes thinks the supersoft is the race tyre where as Ferrari thinks it's the ultrasoft.

Race will be good.

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Hamilton already cracking under the pressure!

He was already cracked when he arrived in Russia.

He's looking shattered right now.

He isn't making the first row at this rate. Possibly not top three, depending on whether Kimi turns up.

 

[brotkasten]

I'm going to predict another Bottas pole.

That would be fun.

 

[BigAl1992]

Vettel on the Supersoft is close to the mercs on the Ultrasofts. Ferrari seems to be setting a marker for them. And what the fuck is up with Grosjean? How could the two Haas cars be so inconsistent?

EDIT: Palmer's got a lot of explaining to do when he gets back to the garage.

 

[Zeknurn]

And Palmer continues to be a waste of a seat. Get Sirotkin in there already.

 

[Deadman]

How much does Palmer pay for his seat?

Whatever it is its not enough.

 

[Theorry]

Offcourse its Palmer haha.

 

[EarsOfASnake]

Palmer is a joke character, please pick someone else.

 

[ElTorro]

Palmer is shit. Probably the worst driver in the field.

 

[bobnowhere]

Jeez, that was a bit average from Palmer.

 

[nny]

Good job, Palmer.

 

[Blastoise]

How rich are the Palmer's?

 

[Zaru]

Palmer crashing out of Q1 while Hulkenberg is in 7th.
Come on.

 

[Aiii]

No way Palmer has a seat at the end of this season. What a joke of a driver.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Alonso sounding a little too positive there, I don't like what this Indy 500 stuff has done to him.

 

[nny]

Who is that on Alonso's radio? Complimenting the car?

 

[Randdalf]

I bet Palmer finds a way to blame the car.

 

[brotkasten]

Wehrlein's great comback.

At least he didn't Palmer he car.

 

[Juicy Bob]

You can't spell 'Jolyon Palmer' without two 'L's.

 

[Zaru]

Who is that on Alonso's radio? Complimenting the car?

Alonso calls engine penalties in the 4th race "amazing". He's transcended.

 

[Spades]

I'm confused why there is no alcohol sponsorship on the cars, but there are Heineken sponsor boards...

 

[PdotMichael]

Horse piss is allowed.

 

[nny]

You can't spell 'Jolyon Palmer' without two 'L's.

I'll call him facepalmer from now on.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Eddie Jordan just said McLaren will use Mercedes engines from next season.

This is for real? If so explain why Honda is talking with other teams.

And return to Mercedes engines sounds embarrassing.

BOT!!!

 

[JDB]

woof redbull

 

[brotkasten]

What happened with Mercedes?

 

[GrimmGrinn]

Sandbag off?

 

[Blastoise]

Everyone saving tyres

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Hope Perez can make it back out.

 

[brotkasten]

Ferrari doing a second run, because why not.

 

[Zeknurn]

Ferrari doing a second run, because why not.

They're curing the tyres.

 

[Qronicle]

Man that Torro Rosso looks good...

So all that Ferrari hype was for nothing again, right?

 

[sems4arsenal]

That shot when you see the camera Helicopter rise in the background is cool as fuck.

Sunhi needed.

 

[dakun]

Stroll 1 second slower than Massa.

 

[JDB]

stroll 👀

 

[nny]

That contentment was short-lived for Nando.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Stroll is not ready for F1.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Has Stroll made it to Q3 yet?

It's pretty crazy how far he is from Massa every race.

 

[Xando]

Alonso complaining again. Balance has been restored

 

[Zaru]

That shot when you see the camera Helicopter rise in the background is cool as fuck.

Sunhi needed.

First time I saw that, I wondered if the air turbulence from the rotor can affect the cars.
