    Great drying weather but not that great for f1 cars.

    Was just coming in to say the same thing. Imagine there will be a few strong gusts thrown in there as well.

    Oh this could be a great opening lap.

    Ted is being ignored by team owners.

    How Ted Kravitz has avoided being punched yet by one of the team's crew is beyond me! :pac:

    Love if someone threw an elbow when he was coming in behind them!

    Helmut totally blanking him

    So weather “will hit” mid way through the race. I’d love to see some wet weather to shake things up.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,354 ✭✭✭BrentMused


    Only a 10% chance of rain during the race, according to race control.

    Seems it's being hyped up a lot more than the reality.

  • Registered Users Posts: 4,937 ✭✭✭Cool_CM


    Ah Max


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,219 ✭✭✭Gaoth Laidir


    Fux sake Max!!

    That's it now. It's a procession. Lewis win. FFS


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,369 ✭✭✭Rossi IRL


    Makes it interesting


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,768 ✭✭✭✭ctrl-alt-delete


    At least Max won't be further punished for not using an escape road.


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,058 ✭✭✭✭namloc1980


    Terrible mistake by Max.

    Hamilton complaining about tyres already. What a surprise.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,768 ✭✭✭✭ctrl-alt-delete


    Max did really well after doing not so well, could have ended up much worse that.

    Fastest lap as he tries to get within drs for when it is switched on.

    If the F3 race is anything to go by this could be a cracker. Hopefully we might see some weather too could be very interesting.

    Often a bad sign. Support races tend to be good in places like Hungary and tracks that don't suit F1.

    Lack of grip =/= tyres. It can be a number of factors. That radio message was after a snap of over-steer coming onto the main straight which everyone could see.

    Now he's saying he doesn't think they'll go as far as they think.


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,058 ✭✭✭✭namloc1980


    "My tyres are dead".


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,739 ✭✭✭✭Busi_Girl08


    A few other drivers are complaining about lack of grip so its not just max

    I think it's been all but confirmed now that "my tyres are dead" means something else entirely.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,327 ✭✭✭lolie


    Translation: "I'm going to walk this."

    Or "i might just pop in a few fastest laps".
