Just hope that he tries it damages Lewis's front wing but gives himself a puncture Lewis limps back to the pits for a new nose and tyres but the helmets car is stranded Lewis then fights his way to a podium finish and wins the title comfortably BRB finally realise that the Hemet is just a liability and replace him with Norris Lando and we have great battle next year between Russell an Lando
Balls.I was thinking this was a midday race here again. Nope, like 7am... Far too early to start drinking. Gaaaaah...
It's after lunch time in UK so that's late enough to start drinking???? Just imagine you are in UK with all the rain and wind....
TBH I start the day with a drink, a strong amoretto coffee. Does it make me an alky, even though I don't have anything after that?
Good news bad news time! It appears C4 in UK will show the race live! Now the bad news, David Croft and Martin Brundle will be commentating! It is understood Channel 4 will broadcast a short build-up programme and brief post-race analysis segment. This has not officially confirmed this yet!
You mean Amaretto? I lived and worked in Italy for 4 years (Milano) and it was common for quite a few to start the day with an espresso with a shot. I was initially surprised but I would not accuse any of being an alky. In the main they were in control. Given how business was done in Italy it was probably sensible, calm the nerves. I could tell you many a story.
I watch it on my laptop with SkyGo, hence why I don't contribute to the in race banter on this site. I saw the banter on Channel 4, think I prefer the Sky banter.
I normally watch on laptop too and use mobile to comment. Crofy annoys me at times when he gets things so wrong.
More good news for UK. C4 HD is finally back on Freesat! Perfect for Sunday's race. This calls for the big screen.
Ii is the post race banter I prefer from Sky. I have tried to defend Crofty in the past as I think his job is to serve more than the experienced viewer but after the last race when he continued to talk over a key transmission on the radios and didn't shut up so we could listen I have given up defending him. I think he talks without thinking, motormouth. I do recognise it is a difficult job. He should stop and think more, some silence is OK or allowing someone else to talk is OK.
Seems Masi is highlighting the possibility of points deductions for unsporting behavior... So a step in the right direction for the weekend.
Max is whining like a little bitch that he’s treated unfairly compared to other drivers ‘Verstappen cited two other incidents in Jeddah in which he said other drivers had done the same thing and not been penalised. He insisted that in his mind he had not broken any rules with regard to fair racing. "For me I was not wrong," Verstappen said. "Only I was 'wrong'; other people got nothing. "We were both off the track. Somehow they judged it was my fault, which I don't agree with, and the other penalty as well I don't agree with. And then afterwards he pushed me off the track and he even looks at me and pushes me off the track edge and he only gets a warning for that." Says everything about his mindset, always the victim.
And there is the problem!! If he, in his mind, hasn't done anything wrong he will continue to drive the way he does! I think he has the skills to win without resorting to the sort of tactics we have seen. I read an article the other day about him growing up and how Jos picked him up from school on Friday and drove to Italy to race then back to school Monday morning. Just the tone of the article suggested to me that, while Max enjoyed racing, his Dad taught him 'how to race'. It's almost like Jos taught him that even if there is the slightest gap to go for it. Crashing while trying was rewarded but not going for a gap no matter how small was punished! I don't blame Max for doing what he has been programmed to do but I really hope he takes himself out and no one else is involved so Lewis wins Championship. Max could have quite easily won the championship if he had just had a little more patience. But that's not his mindset.
He is rehearsing for his post race interview if he is not allowed to cheat He and horner can cry their eyes out together
