2017 Formula 1 Season Paddock

Good battle by Vettel to go from last to 4th. Few more laps and he may have gotten 3rd.

Alonso keeps getting fucked by power plants right at the end.

 

To Boldly Go...

 

3 grid place penalty to Sainz in Baku for causing the Lap 1 collision

McLaren / Honda split looks to be more likely given Alonso engine failure at Canadian GP

Yes , Honda upgrade originally scheduled for the weekend is supposedly coming at Baku , I think thats what Zak Brown was referring to in that article when he said " we'll see what the next few races bring " or something to that effect

 

Our Sunday seats were right across the track from Ferrari garages. A *lot* of walking, lots of sun, lots of people, many of them drunk, and yet no violence or belligerence or stupid stunts. Outright friendly atmosphere all weekend, at the track and in the city. We'll definitely be back.

 

Its a long walk from the metro station to Grandstand 1

 

Douche much ?

This is the kind of shit that makes whatever JV says irrelevant

Hes not wrong though. I dont doubt Stroll is talented and has a spot in F1 in the future... I just think he was brought in way too early.

 

He has points in his first 1/2 of his first season

Compare that to most rookies

JV says more stupid shit than Eccelstone

 

I would hardly call 2 points in a car that should make points every race a 'successful' season. His teamate Massa has 20 points already with a similar car.

Compare that to the rookies that come in a back-marker car (HTR, Marussia, etc) and you will see he is much better set up than they ever were.

 

OK whatever

 

Great talk.

 

He's been wrecked most of the time by other bad drivers hasn't he?

 

2 of his DNFs were collisions that were not his fault

 

They gave us a shortcut on Sunday, wasn't as bad as Friday's monster hike to GS12.

Getting out on Sunday was crazy though. We stopped and relaxed in the shade 3 different times rather than stand in line at a dead stop. When we finally got to the Metro there were people 50 deep at every entrance. Fortunately there was also a little deck serving sangrias, beers, sodas, and playing music. So we had a sangria and another sit in the shade. Got back to hotel around 7:00pm.

Oh and now I know what poutine is. Weird Canadians.

 

Did you try any poutine ?

 

Not after I found out what it was. Weird Canadians.

 

How is potatoes gravy and cheese so weird

 

Split with Honda will cost McLaren $130M
