I want to elaborate on what I said. I have no prob with HAM slowing to control the field and gap the SC. I just think the point he chose was a poor place to do so. That may be moar of a fault with the track layout and ultimately the FIA doe.

I'm also to the point I hope McLaren does go to Merc and Fred stays there. Wood love to see Honda get their **** together and suddenly have an awesome PU, shift to RB and kick the **** out of errryone in 2019.

Unlikely yes, but I can dream.

Completely forgot to mention Ricciardo's pass into T1 on the restart. He deserved driver of the day for that move alone.

What about Sainz claiming Kvyat caused his spin. That's some BS no?

The FI thing needs to be handled by the team now. Only going to get moar out of control if they don't put a stop to it.

Stroll on the podium and McLaren in the points. I did not expect that to happen this season.

...esteban

The McLaren gang are right now to be happy with P9. Embarrassing.

Seb gets 11/10 from me. Not because what he did was ok, but because it's entertaining. He's had enough of the HAM SC shenanigans. That man likes to do that sort of thing.

that was some weaksauce

relative got a new job

Swapping engines?

falcongsr

not sure yet, just saw the pics from the hangar

2 more whiskey cobras by the office today. They took off and then hovered over their parking area for a while. Rotating lazily lol. It is so cool how the sound from the rotor changes depending on what they are doing.

Did not see any harriers

falcongsr

**** i just got the engine joke!

it's a GE powerplant so no VTEC

1158

I was gonna say that one flew over your head like a harrier but then I thought maybe it was a poor joke by me.

Vettel a punk.

Great race doe.

Stroll drove a 10/10 race.

Outrun

Maybe Stroll isn't that bad after all.

I don't think VET turned in on HAM on purpose. He just let go of the wheel to gesticulate. He still was wrong to allow that to happen.

Was disappointed Emma wasn't there on TV during Dixon's post-race interview after winning Road America. Sato got some air after the kink but his car was still able to continue the race.

My friend's daughter told me she saw an IndyCar driver named Daly (she pronounced it Dolly) on American Ninja Warrior. She said he failed the first obstacle.

And who was the lady in bluuu during the red flag?

njn63

Minus the last sector of the last lap.

a78676jj

Agreed. Still, dude was about the only driver who didn't hit something all day.

Same can't be said for 4x WDC fratboi Vettel

Vettel claimed him intentionally driving into Lewis is okay because they're "all men" out there.

Lewis responded that if men they should sort it out off track.

Am in for Vettel getting smacked down.

falcongsr

i know who would lose that fight

a78676jj

Oh, Esty as far as Ham's SC shenanigans.

He was cleared by the FIA of all accusations.

Soooooooooooooo

njn63

I have a feeling that Vettel is going to remember that the next time he's leading Lewis on a SC restart.

1158

It's curious that the FIA said HAM did not significantly alter speed yet the on screen telemetry suggests he slowed and it's also curious that both VET and OCO close on HAM right after the apex of the turn. Either they managed to synchronize their acceleration perfectly or HAM did slow. OCO was just smart enough to be farther behind VET

I'm not claiming the FIA are playing favorites here but could it be that the FIA/Stewards are saying HAM didn't significantly alter speed so that the focus of the entire incident doesn't shift from VET acting like a jerkoff to the what cause VET to act that way.

If the FIA say yeah HAM did slow then suddenly it opens the door a bit for people to say well I can see why VET got pissed and HAM kinda deserved it. Suddenly what VET did is marginalized and the FIA can't have **** like that happening. Everyone involved is lucky it didn't go wrong, it could have, right in front of the field, after a blind corner on a narrow track.

Just wondering aloud

I wonder if this kind of situation behind the safety car will have more rules for next year to specify what a driver can/cannot do.

falcongsr

i think the current rules cover not hitting people and not being a **** pretty well
