2017 Formula 1 Season Paddock

Nice showing by Force India.

 

Finally good strategy from Mercedes. They seem to have the tires figured out. Bad luck for Bottas. I'm frankly surprised that both Kimi and Max were not nicked for driving back onto the track after their shunt, they made a full mess of the pack by doing so. The McHonda looked downright fast at the end of the race, but then Williams had horrible pace. Still, he passed them on a straight. Force India benefited from consistency and the front runners dropping out, great result for them. Hulk wow too!

EDIT: My wife is now a vocal Ferraristi.

 

Pretty entertaining race

Great drive by Wehrlein

 

This was a nice touch by Ferrari too

Food for conjecture: if that had been Hamilton and Rosberg side by side in Turn 1 instead of Ham and Seb (right after Seb exited the pits), would the result have been the same?

 

Or Bottas and Kimi.

 

That was awesome to see during the race. Showing the kid crying then later seeing him meeting Kimi. Sounds like the whole family got to have fun too

 

He's getting on with it. I think Top 5 in last two practices. Going to be a good race and I hope luck is on his side.

Thats pretty cool.

Thanks for sharing.

 

Alonso racing at Indy is bringing a huuuuuuge amount of attention to the race. Great for Alonso, great for Indy, I think it will benefit F1 as well that he's at the top of the time sheets. Good all around I think, except for Bernie, he probably doesn't like it

 

It's not a bad looking car, I've definitely seen worse. Alonso did very well in round 1.

 

Huge crash in 500 qualy

Oh boy. That was a devastating crash. Lucky to be alive after that one

 

Looked like the back started to go and he caught it but that sent him right into the wall. That was a huge hit; the construction of the car saved his life.

 

massive hit, it wasn't until you saw how fast he bounced off the wall that you understood how fast it was

 

Bourdais to undergo surgery for a broken hip and multiple pelvis fractures

 

118 g's apparently

 

Maybe time for Indy to install SAFER barriers.
