F1 2015: Round 18 Brazilian Grand Prix

So FP1 happened. Massa is really struggling in that Williams.

Engine fire for Alonso in FP2 bringing out red flag.

Horner speaking with the BBC during FP2, jeez he's a bit miserable...struggling to like the guy.

I think Interlagos will be in desperate need of rain tomorrow. It's rare Brazil throws up a boring race but I think tomorrow could be an exception unfortunately.

Alonso in Q1 told "STOP IMMEDIATELY". Yikes.

Fernando looks like a broken man. Really feel for him... such a talent to be stuck in a car like that.

He's got an awesome view of quali on that chair though!

All he needs now is a beer in his hand and he is sorted.

And no media to deal with either!

So much for Honda's "upgraded" engine. They're a disaster this year, and making little to no headway it seems

Andrew76 · 14-11-2015 5:30pm

Lol at the McLaren podium! :pac:

bnt · 14-11-2015 5:39pm

Uh-oh - Grosjean spins out on his fast lap. He'll get another lap in, but he might have flat-spotted his tyres ... nope, lap was too slow. P15 after Q2.

I laughed at the caption of the following clip

Wonder where Hamilton went there? Rosberg and Vettel not arsed waiting around for him, righly so.

Ghost Train · 14-11-2015 6:15pm

Lewis still waiting for his 50th pole, looks a bit unhappy, well done Rosberg

Nothing between them really

McLaren podium was nice touch

Myrddin · 14-11-2015 6:59pm

Rosberg on fire. 5 poles in a row, if he hadn't of screwed up in Texas he'd have won back to back with Mexico & looks a good bet for this race too (so might have been three on the bounce). Bizarre, I wonder if Coulthard was on to something where he alluded to maybe Nico pulling up his socks because the pressure is off him now

Saw this on the OCUK forums earlier:

^^ Genius

Had to laugh at that when I seen it live, fair play to the lads...if you don't laugh in those situations you'll cry!

Frank Bullitt · 15-11-2015 4:51am

Heres a scary stat, Alonso will be on his 12th engine tomorrow, thats if he even starts!

EDit · 15-11-2015 11:04am

It's funny, I used to detest Alonso (just came across as a not very nice guy) but I'd love something mad to happen today and him to win (or Button of course). Despite a few, understandable outbursts, I think he's handled this situation pretty well. That said I am predicting another Merc-led snoozefest....we need rain!

For me his absolute best was getting smoked by everyone along a straight and shouting "GP2 Engine, GP2 Engine!!". Sums up the year for McLaren Honda. Hard to imagine they'll make massive strides over the next six months if their new upgraded engine goes up in smoke after a few laps.

It's a crying shame to have Alonso & Button in those cars. Imagine Alonso had stayed in Ferrari, it'd be him & Vettel instead of the dire Kimi performances of late, and throw Button into the other Merc instead of Rosberg....now that would have been a far more interesting season (Button is well able for Lewis as we've seen in the past).
