That's some BS, that means he went off the track at that corner more often than not.

They need to put some nasty temporary curbs down there or penalize drivers for unnecessarily leaving the track. He's going out there because it is an advantage. I'm surprised Horner isn't kicking up a stink about this...

 

Yep...

According to R&T a sandwich wrapper ended his race.

What a bummer. He was totally, and typically, wringing the neck of that car.

 

I don’t think that’s right. I noticed when he retired he had red fluid behind his front left wheel so I think it was hydraulic or brake fluid. I just grabbed this screen shot.... either that or he ran over a jam sandwich

 

Liking the performance/results of the McLaren and Ferrari's.

 

Not only is his dad very rich, he runs the company that has controlling interest in Uralkali who is now the title sponsor for the Haas car

 

Going to be fun watching him “race” this year

 

It was in the brake duct and caused the brakes to overheat which could explain the spilled out fluid.

 

Very true... Glad it didn't end in a bad way and it's a shame he didn't have more time in the car and finish with points.

 

It wouldn't surprise me if he ended up on a podium. With how close the battles can be this season I'm sure there will be a few DNF's up front allowing the mid pack to podium.

 

Totally. We have Mercedes & RB at the top. Then we have McLaren, Ferrari, Alpine, Alpha Tauri, Aston Martin and maybe Alfa Romeo for a huge mid pack. There's gonna be some awesome battles this year and it will hopefully only get closer as the season goes on.

I'm going to watch the 30 minute race replay a little later because I don't remember what sort of race Williams had. I don't really care about Latifi, I think he's a waste of space just like Mazespin...

 

I agree. Over half of his laps were off track. Gaining an advantage in time and likely tire wear. A mean temp curb would fix that.

 

I listened to the post race interview this morning on the way to work and Hamilton gave some BS excuses for and against going out there. He can be a smeg head sometimes.

Yeah a curb like the one Max ran over in qualifying, something that'll rip the floor up a bit and cause some damage if you go out there. OR maybe just make a rule that you're not allowed to have all four wheels past the solid white line that goes around the track

 

Yea a couple sausage curbs or at least some large rumble strips that'll vibrate the shit out of the car.

 

Anything to assist Mazespin more to dance I"m all for it. i haven't despised an F1 driver this much since Jacques Villeneuve.

 

He’s on a par with Grosjean for me.

Haas know how to pick em. Am I right in thinking his dad paid for two years membership?

 

I believe he did.
