2018 Formula 1 Season Paddock

You have to be more specific.

 

Great race

Fish lips is a dickhead , Hamilton was right

Of course Ferrari has a #1 / #2 driver set up , they always have

They will always prioritize points for the driver leading the Championship

 

I suppose if Kimi suddenly started consistently beating Seb, the team would switch over to him being #1. Eventually.

The reason Kimi was 4th after turn 1 was that his supposed teammate hacked across his line and left him with no choice but to get out of the gas. Not a criticism, just a fact.

 

He crashed pretty hard in Monaco a few years back. He's young and aggressive but for me I find it exciting and have no problem with it. Plenty of champion drivers are a "dick head" at times. Did we all forget when Vettel punted Lewis while under safety car? The pass by Ricciardo over Botas would have been a disaster if Botas had closed the door on him. Alonso's pass on Vettel was kind of a dick move too. It's racing.

 

Before I forget -- fantastic, fantastic coverage for us long suffering US F1 fans. We saw pre-show with a Bottas interview; we saw the entire grid foofaraw; we saw the entire race commercial free; *and* we saw the *entire* Sky post-race show! Thank you ESPN, thank you Mother's.

EDIT: I still miss Will Buxton though.

I was thinking of sending a thank you email to Mothers.

 

Oh dear -- saw this on another forum. "Max Vercrashin".

 

I would say a lot of his impatience comes from having an unreliable Renault to worry about.

 

No we have not!

 

Max is like Ricciardo in that he makes exciting passes but unlike Ricciardo about a third of Max's attempts end in contact

 

Fish lips will become a better driver when he figures out he shouldn't put his car into every single gap that shows up in front of him

 

key word

 

Sounds like a euphemism for his sex life

 

He is just past a teenager, so I guess his actions match my expectations for a teenage boy.

 

Race fuel limit to be increased in 2019 to allow drivers to push harder

I've been saying this for years

 

I understand the need to push for efficiency within the engines to mirror the reality of modern road vehicles and help the progression of technology for both. But racing drivers and teams should never be held back from being able to run full out at all times, that should be what racing is all about. Make the engines more efficient absolutely but let those efficient engines run full bore the whole race.

Sounds gimmicky.
