2017 Formula 1 Season Paddock

Lewis sure is moving up the field quite well. Quite different from last race where he was struggling through the field

 

Wasnt much of a pass on Alonso as just driving past him lol

 

For sure the best part of was watching either of those 2 fight toward the front. Like HAM said after the race, it was racing, not managing a race. There's a difference.

Great fight ALL race long with Alonso and Massa and to throw Perez in there at the end, I thought was going to be a barn burner. Would be a much different championship and race but Honda.

 

Pretty entertaining race

Kinda confused that Grosjean got a penaly for colliding with Ocon while Ocon was overtaking him under Safety Car conditions

Can'r wait for Renault power in the McLaren next year

 

Was it under an SC? I didnt see that

*EDIT* Shit I still have it recorded, I'll go look.

 

You are 100% correct! It WAS under a SC.

Good looking out. I didn't even see that. How did that not get mentioned in the broadcast or by the stewarts?

*EDIT* So after watching it a few times there was a caution flag in sec. 1 (RIC incident). The world feed showed that graphic on screen. The camera showed the contact as Occon was making the pass. While they were sliding off track you can see the "SC" flashing beacon right at the track marshals tower were they stopped. I thought "wow that was a fast reaction to the safety car". But when you watch it from GRO onboard you can clearly see the sign blinking in the distance before OCO was even along side GRO.

*EDIT 2* Nice pull @OZ-T

 

Yes, I am hoping that Alsono will be super competitive next year with a bit more HP in the back

 

Entertaining race? Maybe we were watching from different reality spheres.

I did enjoy seeing so many smiles on drivers' faces after the race.

 

Knowing that the Championship is over now I'm not as entertained by the races. I still enjoy them and was glad Ferrari could get a Brazil win ending the drought since 2008 I think. My driver didn't place but was good to see Alonso finish top 10.

 

If you say K.Mag I'll kick you in the dick...

HAR?

 

I was hoping Hartley would finish too. I wanted Max on the Podium though.

 

I was kinda hoping for a rain race like last year.

 

At least then it would have been a drivers race. Maybe even Alonso on the podium.

 

Alonso will have lots of podiums next year

 

I hope so.

 

Holy hell did anyone watch the F3 Macau race?? Unreal racing! Came down to the last turn where both P1 and P2 crashed out. Those guys sure do know how to run an entertaining race.

The GT race had a massive pile up as well.

Grosjean spun out afterwards at least.

 

I missed the Abu Dhabi race , rain storm pixelated my satellite signal so bad it was unwatchable
