Michael Diaz4 said:He messed up because he actually listened to them, which is the real issue here since a true champion wouldn't have fallen for that in this kind of situation... I know it's easy for us to sit back and criticize when everything turns into a total chaotic mess and nobody can tell who's doing what anymore, but he really should have assumed those two were close enough to overtake him. Instead, he just blindly followed his "strategists" and got burned because they completely let him down, and honestly, a real champ wouldn't make a mistake like that...

signature....like a house!

darkmarlin16 said:Wait, who exactly is Kimi?

I think I accidentally added an extra "m" in there somewhere.....😁

I honestly feel like someone at Ferrari needs to be held accountable—maybe even more than just getting fired... I mean, who do we need to take to task so that Kimi can finally just drive one single race from start to finish without everything falling apart?

So if we're saying Kevin Magnussen really deserved that penalty, then honestly, Lewis Hamilton deserved one too 🤣
Plus, if we're blaming Nico Rosberg, then why on earth aren't we holding Fernando Alonso responsible for the exact same thing? 😁

Man, the situation is pretty much identical...
except for the fact that Fernando Alonso got spooked and veered off the track, whereas Rosberg just gritted his teeth and stayed on course, which is ultimately what led to the collision...

There's also a slight difference because Rosberg and Hamilton were right in the middle of the turn, while Kevin Magnussen was out on the straight. He initially jerked toward the button, but once he realized there was no room left there, he started blocking Fernando Alonso. Besides, the FIA's official written explanation actually points out the specific spot where he picked up the penalty:
"The incident occurred on the penultimate lap of the 44-lap contest as Magnussen, trying to defend fifth place from Alonso on the approach to Les Combes, edged the Spaniard onto the grass."

stormybadger8 said:So now we find out that taking the Pole isn't even all that great and starting from second might actually be the smarter move... 🙏🤣

Honestly, he probably does his best work when he's just coming out of the pits, because that's usually when he pulls off his most impressive results...🤣

Anyway, does anyone know when they're actually going to get things moving again? My stream keeps buffering out on me...😢

Judging by how fast they're working on fixing that barrier, I'd say we might be back in about an hour or so.....☕

This is going to take forever... man, these guys with the wrenches are literally taking down the fence by hand.
No impact wrenches, no angle grinders... just nothing...

Drew Bennett68 said:FOX showed this clip where you can see Kimi hitting that bump while heading back onto the track, and that's right when everything starts going downhill.

We saw the same thing over here on our end too...
From what I could tell at the exact spot where Kimi was merging back in, there was this little imperfection in the pavement that just launched the whole car a few inches into the air.
Once that happened, there wasn't much anyone could do about it...

Maybe I should just change my name to Lucky...🤣
...

Are you thinking of Ricciardo or Vettel...😉
Looking at that photo above, I honestly feel like Vettel should probably light a few candles and just say a massive thank you to God, Massu, and whoever else helped him stay in this race...😲

Honestly, I’m way more curious about who that other famous Canadian woman actually is than I am about who ends up taking the win at the United States Grand Prix...🤣

stormybadger8 said:So, why haven't my mechanics fixed my Mustang yet? 😬

Well, instead of leaving you stuck in the dust, it looks like once those tires were swapped out, your car actually ran out of steam before it could even get going properly.......🤣

😁

So, out of nowhere, some weird smoke started coming from the back of TBF's horse, and then it just began slowing down really fast...🤣🤣

stormybadger8 said:I might give that some thought🤣

Don't you dare try to distract me right now...
get ready, because we're heading to Tamburel soon to settle some scores😳

Geronimo!

Edit:
Turns out I didn't have to think for long...
Sharpen those tomahawks, we've got work to do!

I'm right on your heels, my fearless leader.....

.....armed with a fire extinguisher (or maybe just a watering can)!!🤣🤣

......"That's the 'Gray Finger' chapter right there!".......🤣🤣🤣

.....if I could, I’d just hang that right under his username........😁

stormybadger8 said:So, has this crew under their new leader TBF 😬 finally managed to get moving, or did the ERS just give out on all those French engines they're running?🤣

Judging by how things started out for your hero over at Jerez, I don't think we're going to get very far under your leadership...🤣

stormybadger8 said:First a kick to the nuts, then an endless lecture on Sebastian Vettel as punishment.😁

So that's how it goes... I try to be all diplomatic about it, while you're being sneaky and kicking me right where it hurts, only to finish me off with that endless lecture about Sebastian Vettel...
It’s good to have that on my radar for next time...🙂

swifttiger75 said:To be honest... that's the general idea, but since everything here is basically improvised, you never really know... 🤣

Nicole vs Meadow (betting takes place at Paska's)

I’m definitely voting for that option, though I really think we should make sure the whole thing is documented with some good photos or maybe even a little video clip...🤣

stormybadger8 said:And $17 please, for the love of God, 🤣

you'll get them delivered via a Tomahawk missile...
And then you're still going to sit there insisting that Sebastian Vettel is the best driver on the grid today.......🤣

stormybadger8 said:Exactly...
The two of us will just cut a deal and get it in writing.😁
The only problem is finding a notary out here in the middle of nowhere.🤣

That’s exactly why the Native Americans were wiped out in the first place, because they kept being handed these ironclad legal documents to sign... and now we’ve even got public notaries getting involved in the mix too...🤣

🤣🤣🤣

rustycobra32 watch what you're doing so you don't end up like Traxdata😁
Also, did you notice we need to pick a new chapter🤣

That's exactly why I’m leaning towards a more diplomatic approach to settle this...
Maybe I'll actually turn a profit that way...🤣

Ugh, such a tough call, what should I even do now??? 🤷
Let's try to handle this diplomatically, maybe if I just take the paper right out of TBF's hands....🤣
