2017 Formula 1 Season Paddock

97 is to hot for me! THen again when I lived in Montana you got used to the heat a lot more. Not that it wasnt still hot but 80-90 was the normal so you just got used to it.

Hopefully Button doesnt leave a pee stain in Fernando's seat

 

All of the above. Congrats to Vettel!

 

Caught the final 8 laps. That was an awkward ascension to the podium for Riccardo and Kimi at race's end.

 

Took my breath away just watching it. Crazy how Helio drove right underneath. Dixon had a Noticeable limp after his infield interview. I hate how these things launch into the air.

 

He just can't escape it. Thanks Hondah!

 

Poor Alonso. I feel so bad for him. He did so well all race, had the fastest average time of anyone out there, was leading before many parts, ultimately to get pulled by a Honda mechanical reliability issue. What a shame.

On the plus side I didnt realize Sato was still racing. Great to see an old F1 legend winning at 40 years old!

 

I am still shocked that he walked away from that. That was incredibly violent.

Castronevez is incredibly lucky to have gone right under that and not have the car land on him

 

Monaco was a boring race as usual , great spectacle but boring race

Glad I didn't bother buying any McLaren gear because Alonso won't be there next year anyway

 

Best part about Race Day was Alonso talking to Button. Alonso - "Take care of my car" Button - "I'm gonna pee in your seat". Funny stuff.

 

That's what I told my wife when I saw the weather report. Then when they all made it around the first lap without incident I thought, might as well turn it off now. A bit of luck for Vettel and Ricciardo, workmanlike day for Hamilton, what a shameful way for Button to leave the sport.

He was the class of the field yesterday. When I saw the first Honda engine pop I would have bet serious money that Alonso's would go too. But you know what will happen if he leaves -- the cars will get fast and reliable. The man has the worst luck that way.

 

Gawd, when I saw that, I felt really sad for Alonso. I hope he sticks with McHonda as they will sort their crap out. If Soichiro Honda was still around this would have been sorted already as he really liked to win with all motorsports. I'm thinking that someone at Honda with be hoisted ontheir own pitard...

 

Cold War brewing at Ferrari

I can't blame Kimi for feeling a bit cheated. (I was definitely rooting for him.) But the tactic of bringing the lead driver in first is standard practice. If you want to look for conspiracy you have to look at the timing of the pit stop and that gets pretty cloudy. It worked out for Vettel this time. Ricciardo had the same good fortune, moving up 2 places due to pit stop timing. Conspiracy-wise you'd think that Red Bull would favor Max, and they brought him in first just like Ferrari did with Kimi.

 

I think they brought Kimi in too early

 

Good article here

Vettel is the better driver of the two and leading the Championship so I can see Ferrari favoring him. Also McHonda are in the bottom 3 in standings, can you believe that. I guess it's par for the course by now though.

 

How Kimi feels on the inside

 

How can you tell if Kimi is upset? He speaks three words instead of six.

 

I'm sure with this car they will make until about 985km and then the engines will blow...

 

Red Bull want single engine manufacturer for all F1 teams or they will quit the series

K Bye
