Gotta go Neil Armstrong for this one.

 

2 more races until.....




.....*gasp.......






Halo

 

I'm going Louis Armstrong.

 

Stretch Armstrong for me

 

lol, he was one of the choices originally, but then I realised someone might actually want to vote Other.

 

Gone for Seb, but honestly I've sort of lost interest. Season over, and to be honest, has been for a while.

The only thing left is that with the pressure off there will finally be a decent race. There have been very few good races this season.

 

I hope for a good race , but doubt the smaller teams will get too involved , they are desperate for CC points .

 

Sod it . I've gone for Valterri .

 

It could be an interesting race. Brazil usually is. Ive gone Hamilton but not sure he will cope with a cloud over his head. The press are going to be on his back.

 

I'm tempted to go for Vettel. Pressure is off so he probably won't take half the other cars off the track or lose the plot this time. Conversely, whatever he says about winning the remaining races, I predict Hamilton will not be on it for the rest of the season. His job is done.

Just got a feeling we shouldn't forget about the Red Bulls though. I will wait and see how the practice sessions go.

 

I imagine all the other drivers in the press conference will be staring at the floor hoping they're not asked about their tax. Going to be an all round awkward weekend with most of the bigwigs acting all coy

 

Both Torro Rosso's in trouble early in FP1.

How bad is their prep work on these cars? Too many reliability issues straight out of the box each weekend for it just to be down to Renault?

 

you say that, but how many times have Max and Danny broken down? Maybe not in FP1 but it's rare they both finish a weekend without a problem.

 

There are reliability issues with Renault still, but Torro Rosso seem to have issues straight away more than others so its suggests a prep issue with the cars when they are put together before FP1.

 

tbh I'm more inclined towards it being Renault and late in the season with everything getting old and worn, I don't remember them being this bad earlier in the season. Could be a bit of both.

 

Good job the teams are limited to 4 PUs for cost saving reasons.

Renault to take their ball home with them and stop supplying Torro Rosso for the rest of the season!!??

 

Wow this place is dangerous. From our cossetted, civilised perspective, getting to and from the circuit seems to be a real-life video game which gets yearly updates.

Danger lurks around every corner, regardless of how many times it's been rounded before. The 'circuit' to get to the circuit is exciting for all the wrong reasons. For these people, life is cheap. Most live in abject poverty, right outside. The power vacuum is called 'give up or die son', and the race has become THE annual opportunity for wannabees and big-shots to out-perform each other.

Welcome to the Brazilian Gang Prix.

 

And yet Bernie would threaten to pull Silverstone over so much less serious issues.............
