Mercedes is considering team orders for future races if the Constructors' is in doubt

 

Dork Alert

Pretty good video on what exactly the T Wings do

Way tooo much dork in that video stay engaged for the whole thing.

I'll just assume he said, "way more faster", "g-force bonanza" and "super neato" in that order.

 

Yes , but all teams still used team orders just with code words , like the infamous "Multi 21"

The FIA just gave up on trying to enforce the team order restrictions and opened it back up which is how it should be IMO

 

I watched it all

 

Yea. I think before that also for a short time. Isn't that when they came up with the secret, let him pass lingo?

 

That's what i thought also. Couldn't remember the words for it. Good pull.

 

I liked MW. Still do, love his podium interviews. Seb....not so much.

Me too...

 

I watched it all but won't watch anything else by the guy. He's almost impossible to follow and and in the end basically said "I don't know". It's like his mom once told him he was bright and he believed it.

That hurt just to watch.

 

Oh wow hes lucky to be alive. Completely defenseless at that speed. What happened for that other car to stop like that?

 

Mechanical break down

 

WTF was the disabled car doing on the track? There was plenty of room for the driver to get out of the race line.

 

Since we are racing fans figured i'd share something I got. Ended up picking up a "Wood Mural" from a website. I'd give it a 7/10. Its a neat piece but has a couple "flaws". The first being it comes just as a flat piece of wood. No mounting hooks or anything. Easily fixed with some command strips though. Second is a semi-flaw IMO. But it lists the years raced and fastest lap times. Which sounds great except the Monaco one i got is from 2015. I say semi flaw cause its kind of a bummer having something thats "outdated" but at the same time its ok since it has the "latest year raced". Which is also a semi-flaw as its obviously 2017 and the race is still being raced.

But overall Im happy with it. Its a nice piece that has some fun facts on it. (how turns got their names for example).
