Yep, nothing but wasted time and money!! :shakes head:

Ever seen a young driver more in touch with his fan base?

Lando Norris to race with helmet design by 6 year old contest winner.

Has nothing to do with the sport, but a real feel-good moment for F1.

Lando on twitch.com is always great and there are plenty of Americans that are now following F1 after watching him play video games with other streamers.

Hülkenberg on for another race per BBC. F1 and FIA will demand 10 day stop for Perez and of course negative tests. GO NICO!

The Mercs are just on another level. How can anyone be on front row when the next fastest car is a second behind? Total domination. Might as well hand off the 7th title to Lewis and the Manufacturer's Championship to MB.

I agree the 2020 F1 season should wrap it up. Its a big B!

Im on Autobac GT3 series and IMSA instead.

Redbull please give a good fight.

ZontheRocks 08-02-2020 08:59 PM

D. Ric drove his *** off today. LeClerc showing that Ferrari is capable. Max is an animal, Red Bull (and everybody else) just needs more competitive cars. Would have been wild if they didn’t pit on the final lap...

Final lap had me on the edge of my seat. Like any sport, it ain’t over til it’s over! Can’t wait for the next GP.

DLSTR 08-02-2020 09:19 PM

Felt bad for Nico H. Sheared bolt in the PU put him out of even starting the race. Was looking forward to seeing him race..............

Just watch Qualifying, will be interesting
RP - Hulkenberg - 3rd, this is going to get very interesting considering the what is going on..

But I think that Stroll is done, if Hulkenberg can come in and take the car to third, does not leave much argument on why to keep him...

Race should be interesting between the two Mercedes.. Hopefully, it is not the usually who gets of the line in first, but some racing during the race to determine the outcome...

Hmmm. Will make it interesting, for sure.

As for tomorrow, tire strategy will be an issue again after last weekend’s fiasco. They are on one stage softer rubber, and the forecast is 30’C for race time. Everybody will be on a 2-stop. But it will be the possible safety car that will determine the winner. Which sucks for race fans, actually.

She would level him lol :) Stroll didnt disappoint today. Talent not there and its year 4 in the series for him. Keeping the wrong driver is Clone Point.

ZontheRocks 08-08-2020 11:21 AM

Great top ten grid, IMO. Making it a two stop race should be very interesting for the tire strategies, especially for RB.

Hulk coming out super strong is awesome. Gasly making moves, while McLaren and Ferrari’s Vettel have to figure somethings out for tomorrow. Daniel also continues proving that he can move out there.

Excited for the race tomorrow. What unforeseen drama will we get to witness?

Rooting for LeClerc, Lando and Daniel (favorite drivers) as well as Hulk, Gasly and Russell.

God-Speed 08-08-2020 12:52 PM

Just make sure to be watching the last 10 Laps!!! :tup:

For the first time ever, Mercedes takes P1 P2 AND P3! Total front and 2nd row lockout.

The only 'thing' keeping Stroll on the grid is money...........sure as sun rising is not talent..........pathetic. Sad the businessman Stroll thinks leaving points/money on the table with Lance is good business. Love provides strange things LOL

Lance Stroll nobody takes signature from him at IMSA vs

Attachment 143934

Alonso has a long line of people getting signatures!

Money cant make him famous like the Kardasians!

Keeping in mind that he only reason that RP still exists is that daddy bought th team so that Lance Stroll could have a seat.
