You had all those track in VA doe. Finally getting some love up here. Feelsgoodman.jpg

The SPK place looks insane. Time to downsize so I haz more money to burn OR get a place with more land. The wife knows if we get a place with more than 2 acres, it WILL have a dirt kart track on it (because laying tarmac costs money)

pretty impressive creative liberties taken by f1 journalists.

Kvyat jumped off the top rope and gave Versenna a flying clothesline. Then he gave him a classic choke slam.

McLaren clarification prompts tyre pressure move

Various suggestions for what some teams have been up to have been put forward.

One obvious way is for clever heating and then rapidly cooling of the wheels to adjust the air temperature - and therefore pressure - inside the tyre.

More ingenious solutions – such as a double chambered wheel rim that features a small hole between them to allow air to bleed slowly and drop the pressure – have also been hinted at.

Yeah the rears locked up first.

It looks like the back end on the driver's side started to come around. Driver stomped on the brakes at that point and it went straight off. At least that's what it looks like to me.

Agreed. It may have been fast but the exit speed in the corners looks pitiful.
