Vandoorne about differences between F1 & Super Formula at Suzuka: "Straights feel quite similar". Joke unintended. Hasegawa not impressed.
Vandoorne didn't realize how funny that was. But Alonso & Boullier couldn't hide a little smile.
As in 2 out of 10?Palmer was always a very good tier 2 driver. Never outstanding F1 material.
He wont have an issue getting a plum ride elsewhere outside F1

If Hamilton/Vettel/Alonso/Verstappen are Tier 1, Palmer is like a Tier 4.
I thought it was meant as skill and not car class.That is not a tier
That is not a tier
I consider Tier 2 as being GP2, IndyCar, Super Formula.. dare I say WEC?
Ah I thought you meant within F1.
OMG. Jerez played the French anthem for Leclerc. Realized their mistake and now playing the Monegask anthem.
Maldonado could at least drive fast...into other drivers but he had speed. Motherfucker lacked common sense and looked like he should be wearing pinstripes, but still.I never thought that Palmer would leave mid-season, much less at the end of it. Jesus.
He won't be missed, though. Completely bland subpar driver for the class he was driving in. Even Maldonado was "better" in the sense that at least shit was going down when he was around. Mostly his car, but shit went down nonetheless. Palmer was just offensively boring.

Does Vettel eye fuck Hamilton's car after every time he gets beat?
Wow, I thought he was in the clear for the rest of the season, but there we go. Can't say it wasn't deserved.
Brutal.
Brutal.
Brutal.
I didn't know how brutal it was until I looked the Super Formula specs up.
Engine displacement: 2.0 L (122 cu in) DOHC inline-4
Gearbox: 6-speed paddle shift gearbox
Power output: 543 hp (405 kW)
Comparable to a contemporary spec-series Indycar, the pole position lap in a Super-Formula Dallara SF14 at Suzuka Circuit in 2017, 1:35.907, is 5.26 seconds slower that the pole position time for the 2016 Japanese Formula One Grand Prix.
Normally I don't like teams firing their drivers during the season but Palmer needed to go. Hopefully Carlos will bring some valuable points for Renault.
Hope for a clean start and a good race with lots of close action!!!
