thanks, ace.

Is this the british feed? I've really got used to the US SPEED/NBC commentary team after 30 years of watching F1 on the beeb.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Mercs munching rubber.

People who can't watch for whatever reason might like to quote this post...

[Juicy Bob]

Bottas out of the session after gearbox problems.

That might ruin his whole weekend if they can't get that sorted for Q1...

Thank you sir, you are a gent!

Thats some time from Rosberg. Only 2 seconds slower than last year.

 

[CurlySaysX]

Grosjean raging on the radio.

 

[Igo]

Grosjean is pissed. That was some growl.

 

[SunhiLegend]

"Nothing is solve!"

 

[Tempy]

He better get used to it - it's going to be one long season for Lotus. Shame, would've liked to see if that twin tusk design is beneficial or not.

 

[CurlySaysX]

" I am going to crash this pos into the wall.. GROWLLL"

 

[theignoramus]

Im with those that are fucking loving the way the drivers are having to fight the cars. Driving on a knife's edge, thats what I want to see.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Drivers are being challenged, teams are facing a Dark Souls level challenge with this new tech. you've got to love it. At least, I know I do so far.

 

[Lima]

Have you guys tried the new FOM app? I just tried the android version and HOLY COW! This thing is awesome this year. And you can have a free version and to upgrade it's only $10 compared to the previous years which was around $30-40 IIRC

Only 10. How generous of them.

Now Vettel come on.

 

[Tempy]

Not a very clean lap by Vettel. Looks tough.

 

[theignoramus]

fucking well held by Seb, almost put himself in the wall

 

[Juicy Bob]

You can hear the tyres breaking away from him. It's amazing.

 

[navanman]

Thats a very rough lap for Vettel. The car is not easy to drive at all.
Massive understeer under braking and nearly puts it into the wall.

 

[marvelharvey]

It's great watching these world champions struggle so much.

 

[massivekettle]

And yet Mark Hughes said that this is pretty much the GOAT car in terms of car handling.

Maybe wrong settings for FP3 for VET?

 

[Juicy Bob]

Bottas will get a grid penalty for a gearbox change.

That's such a shame.

 

[navanman]

Vettel voice sounds more German on the radio now because he doesn't have to shout as much now.
RBR messing with engine mappings it seems.

 

[CurlySaysX]

Maldonado parks the car.

 

[Tempy]

Maldonado should've parked that Lotus at the local recycling center.

 

[Shaneus]

Bottas getting a penalty? This has to be the biggest number of technical issues we've seen at the start of a season for a long time. At least he'll be able to finish above the Lotus, Caterham and Team Chilton cars.

Interesting FP3. Now we know just how good Vettel is when he's not in a top-tier car.

Spoiler

He's shit.

Spoiler

lol

Danny's doing alright, at least

 

[CurlySaysX]

Vettel is just playing and giving everyone false hope.
He will be pole tomorrow.
For sure you heard it here first.

Qualifying is actually in 2 hours

And, I think it's a case of potential lack of rear downforce coupled with a weird engine map.

That RBR was fine when lapping in the 1:32s yesterday, but for some reason doesn't look as good today.

 

[criesofthepast]

Haven't posted in here since last season ended but goddamn F1 offseasons just blow by for me.

I'm so happy Koba is back.

Alonso & Kimi on paper sounds great but no idea how things have been going in the off season up until now or how well Ferrari are expected to do this year.

Will miss Massa.

Spoiler

no I wont

 

[TCRS]

oh. my. god. the cars sound absolutely horrible. what has happened to F1 *tears*

gonna watch a couple of V10 schumi videos now ;_;

 

[Hasney]

Awww shuky ducky quack quack. It's back, just like my ability to say "I'll watch it later rather than live" and waking up anyway ready.

Good to see Sky Sports pre-race coverage is as terrible as always though.

 

[Adamm]

Been a while since I posted here!

But morning folks! Let's do this

 

[theignoramus]

LOL that shitty Sky preview. "today we start again!"

 

[Mobius 1]

BBC coverage, forever missed.

 

[Psychotext]

Dear god... why am I awake for this?

 

[navanman]

Looks like no rain yet. I guess everyone will go out early to try and get a decent lap in.

 

[Chris R]

Dear god... why am I awake for this?

Because it's only 10 PM

 

[Zeknurn]

Hype hype.

 

[Adamm]

Gonna be a mad rush to get a lap before the rain

 

[Hammer24]

Moin, F1 GAF!

Are you excited?! Can you feel the Hype?!

 

[sammex]

It's strange seeing loads of cars on the track and it's so quiet.

 

[Adamm]

I think they need to fix the sound on the feed, the commentators are so much louder than the cars now

 

[Cyborgmatt]

Oh god. The engines sound terrible.

 

[Tempy]

Looks like a good time by Ricciardo?

 

[nny]

*yawn*

Here we go!

 

[bobnowhere]

Vettel touches the wall. He really doesn't seem comfortable in these new cars yet.

 

[Psychotext]

Vettel really not loving his car.

 

[Konosuke]

Oh god. The engines sound terrible.

Yeah. It's really weird. Also, did Vettel hit the wall?

 

[Hasney]

Lol, Vettel was all over the place. Pity that lap wasn't in Q2.

 

[Adamm]

Vettel really not loving his car.

I love his new car

 

[Tempy]

He's just kissing the wall. It's a nice green wall.

 

[Mobius 1]

Yeah. It's really weird. Also, did Vettel hit the wall?

He did, luckily it just straightened the car for him.
