Thanks , but I think you made the mistake, in confusing being lucky to drive an F1 Car with being lucky in general which is two different things. I may again have got the point you raised wrong, for which I apologise, but quite frankly its, Friday, the boss has gone home and I want to sneak in a cheeky beer at my desk without anyone spotting me So I say we agree to disagree on this
And you think ****ing up your starts through your own actions is 'bad luck', if he jumped off a cliff you'd blame the cliff.
Lets get to the half way point of the season , seeing as there have been only three races and he started from the back in one of them, Jesus at this rate your going to stroke out in 6 races, Dang boy!
Seeing as this time I don't understand you at all(!), we will leave it there, now the weekend has actually started there's much more interesting stuff to talk about.
I've not had the chance to check, did Ferrari use their tokens, or will we only find out tomorrow if they bolt a new unit in? With Vettel getting a penalty for the gearbox change, you'd think it would make sense to wait a little longer. Any chance he might have had this year to challenge is quite quickly evaporating, he really needs Nico to not finish twice to get back in it from here. Could be a good race again from third back though, really interested to see how Haas get on. They seem to be slipping backwards quite quickly all of a sudden.
Five place grid penalty for Vettel. Ferrari immediately on the defensive saying the gearbox damage was sustained in his collision with Raikkonen. Clearly don't want to admit further unreliability when their cars are breaking down all over the place. What a nightmare this season is turning out to be for them.
Thats what annoys me about Ferrari. Their lack of self humility. I said in pre-season their title challenge would be lost through reliability.
All this token business is complete bollocks, it's making F1 sound like a bad game of Dungeons and Dragons!
The pace of all these 2016 cars is pretty impressive it has to be said. Looks like it's going to be a titanic battle between the Mercs and damage limitation for the Ferraris. Again McLaren looked to have improved.
Mercs tokens on fuel system seem to have made massive difference. Especially considering Ferrari have also spent tokens. McHonda so near yet so far, as British Rail used to say 'we are getting there'.
Lewis seems to be cursed. McLaren are admirably close to Q3 when it seems that Honda don't have a qualy mode. Their top speeds are reached in practice.
It's being reported that Lewis PU issue is same as China!!! Doesn't look like Merc solved that problem.
It does seem weird that McHondas top speed is in practice. Surely if you can to higher speed in practice you can do it in qualy? I can understand lower top speed in race but not quali. It's almost like the electrical system can't stand full power over a qualy session, mind you that's only 40mins vs practice could be 90 min. I guess they have cooling issues on the electrical systems.
