    Match Day Thread Vs Arsenal (H)

    Aye, got a point there Dribs! 3 games that we could and should have got something out of have that in instead kicked us in the nuts.. 3-1 up against Bournemouth with less than 15mins to go.. should see that out, 3pts dropped 2-1 up against Sunderland, give a needless Pen, should have seen that...

    Match Day Thread Vs Arsenal (H)

    Shock horror, we turned up against a top 4/6 team! I bet we don't against Burnley... Rinse and ****ing repeat.. I do hope I'm proved wrong though.. Won't comment on the game just yet because I'm still pissed off with our Jekyll and Hyde attitude!

    2017 Pre-Season Testing: Barcelona

    If I was Massa, I'd insist on doing the first 2 days next week, get his runs in, get the data for the team and then Lance can bin it all he likes.. Poor lads no claim bonus already isn't worth the paper its written on!

    2017 Pre-Season Testing: Barcelona

    IMHO, will be worse, these will be creating more wake/dirty air for the cars behind and given that all cars are designed to run in clean air, the chances of being able to follow each other closer will be worse, hope to be proved wrong! There's only a certain amount the tyres can give you...

    2017 Pre-Season Testing: Barcelona

    Don't know why, like Red Bull with Toro Rosso, the likes of Merc didn't buy Manor, they could have used it for their Jnr drivers, its not as if they couldn't afford it, they probably spend the amount it takes to run such a team on their catering!

    Him, along with Vettel, Max and Alonso are probably the best drivers in the wet in the current field, given the car he's got, knowing it could drive upside down in a monsoon, don't think he or the team will learn anything they won't already be aware of.

    2017 Pre-Season Testing: Barcelona

    Electrical glitch... yeah, that thing has run non-stop for about 9000 laps and now, on the wet running day, a day/test that Hamilton said he wasn't keen to do, they find an electrical glitch.. OK.. ;)

    2017 Pre-Season Testing: Barcelona

    More likely a controlled fuel dump... see how the car reacts/effects the engine and the rest of the ancillary parts.

    He best get to grips with the cars quickly because come the start of the season, Williams won't want their second car in the wall every other race.. esp. if this years car has potential!

    2017 Pre-Season Testing: Barcelona

    Exactly, compared to where this track will be come 7th/8th day of testing, it's gonna be night and day difference. If it warms up a bit more + more rubber on the track, that's at least .6 maybe more of a second there! They'll have more aero bits to plonk on next week, I expect them to find maybe...

    There could be hope for this years championship yet! Now all we need is the RedBulls to throw in a decent lap time..

    Good mileage for most teams.. Below average for Renault and.. Less said about McLaren and Williams the better!

    2017 Pre-Season Testing: Barcelona

    Big old "kiss" of the barriers there.. if that didn't damage the suspension that bloody thing is bullet proof too! Maybe another added benefit of the bigger rear tires, more impact absorption

    2017 Pre-Season Testing: Barcelona

    Wings aren't cheap mate, they're no longer a manufacture backed team and costs are a big issue.. They most likely have more wings in the pipeline but can't afford to mass produce them like Merc, Ferrari, Red Bull teams and McHonda.

    2017 Pre-Season Testing: Barcelona

    140+ laps for Merc today.. Honda with a total over two days less than what Hamilton did this morning... [facepalm]

    2017 Pre-Season Testing: Barcelona

    Given the times Bottas is pumping in, they do appear to be pretty durable, we could see more 1 stop races.. And overtakes more on merit (if any) than down one car having tires in better condition than the other..

    2017 Pre-Season Testing: Barcelona

    Not saying they are having warmup problems this year, but last year they couldn't switch on the super and ultra softs as well as Red Bull and Ferrari, which is why in races involving those tires, they were "closer" than at the races where the main tires were Medium and Hards.. Therefore I was...

    2017 Pre-Season Testing: Barcelona

    Last year, Merc's main weakness was firing up the softer compounds, they know, given their machine they can get the Mediums and Hards into their operation window. So... could be why they are focusing their runs on the Softer compounds? Get enough data on them to ensure they can fire up the...

    2017 Pre-Season Testing: Barcelona

    Marc Priestley @f1elvis Merc attempting full race sim on day 2 of #F1 testing! That would’ve been unthinkable a few years ago. In fact for most teams it still is! 1 1/2 days in and they're doing Race sims already.. What's the bloody point!
