Ferrari 🤦

Let's goooooooo Ric 🙏

Let's goooooooo 🙂

Spark plug wires were exposed to some rain, which caused a short circuit right on my 2GB of RAM, and now the PC is just completely crawling 🤦

Water got into the vacuum cleaner 😵

Let’s just take it easy... ease onto the clutch, hit first gear, then a quick tap on the gas before shifting into second.🎉

But honestly, hearing you trash the first one by claiming he can't handle corners, while Vettel manages to mess up a turn two races in a row... and then suggesting Ferrari is the fastest car just because they have the highest top speed? It really rubs me the wrong way.

So Alonso doesn't know how to take a corner, but Vettel is some kind of master behind the wheel...
I'm not even going to try and correct you anymore. 😁

That was a seriously impressive race
Daniel Ricciardo, Kimi Räikkönen, Bottas Alonso 🙏🙏🙏

Alonso once again proved he just doesn't have the touch when it comes to cornering... honestly, I can't stand a driver like that 😁

If you want to talk about a real master of corners and wet conditions, you're talking about Vettel... He basically put on a choreographed show for the fans during this one, letting Daniel Ricciardo past in the dry section of the turn, whereas last time he spun out in the rain 🙏🙏

neonfox65 said:And do you honestly see how much this Michael Diaz4 keeps spouting nonsense just to be provocative?

Why do you even bother getting dragged into an argument with him??? Once that guy starts being thick-headed—regardless of what we're actually talking about—he just doubles down until he's blue in the face... if twenty of us told him a wall was painted blue, he’d probably insist it was yellow just for the sake of it... why engage with someone like that? 🤷 It’s always the same story, whether it's on-topic or completely unrelated to the subforum 🤷

Not to go totally off-topic here. Both Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel are world-class drivers, and they proved that during those ten laps of fighting each other, and plenty of times before that too... God, I wish we saw more duels like that... though hopefully with a different result next time, because, well, it is Ferrari 😍

It was the truth. He should have been disqualified right then and there instead of just getting that ridiculous five-second penalty, but regardless, that doesn't change his eligibility for a superlicense.☕

Dammit, I missed half the race because I wasn't paying attention.🙂
And I didn't even record it either.😵

I really need to go back and watch the replay.😳

You definitely should have watched it. Vettel managed to hold onto a top 5 spot, which isn't exactly an easy feat.😍

Drew Bennett68 said:Is it actually counting toward the points or what!?

I'm hearing rumors that Caterham might actually secure their first points!?

points 😁

Nico Rosberg was just too smooth; he didn't give Lewis Hamilton even a shred of a chance. Not a single meaningful attack from Lewis, despite spending about 80% of the race sitting right on his gearbox, less than a second behind...
Ric... the first of the pack... (once he moves into the red zone, he’ll officially be my personal favorite 😁 ).
Alonso... predictably solid as always.
The Bianchi/Raikkonen situation 🙏🙏

Kimi Raikkonen had such a brilliant start to open up the race, but then things went south—first with that unlucky puncture, and then he completely botched his attempt at an overtake toward the end.🙂

And as for Fetlić... well, he’s doing okay, I suppose... he's basically driving Weber's old car this season.😁

ruggedhawk20 said:It’s true. It feels dull and sterile lately. Honestly, the only thing I actually care about is seeing Sebastian Vettel finish ahead of Fernando Alonso again. That alone is enough reason to keep tuning into F1.

All I really want is to have some ammunition to poke fun at the arrogant blowhards on this forum with my little salad of observations.

Well, good for you. What can I say? 🤷

I honestly wish the race had started sooner.
It was just so dull and clinical; we haven't seen anything that sterile in quite some time.
Hats off to Lewis Hamilton, though—a masterclass drive in a top-tier car, staying untouchable from the moment the lights went out until the checkered flag.
I won't even bother commenting on Nico Rosberg because, frankly, I can't make heads or tails of his performance.
Sebastian Vettel drove very well, with Mark Webber—well, actually Daniel Ricciardo—keeping him covered.
Fernando Alonso was just being Fernando Alonso; a very solid drive, I suppose you could call it standard. Unfortunately, the Ferkan cars seem to be stuck in the same rut as previous years, lagging behind the Mecama machines by at least half a second, if not more—and it feels like they aren't even the fastest through the corners anymore.
Hulk is a fantastic driver trapped in an average car; it's such a shame he didn't finish in a real contender (the red 😁).
