Hey everyone, since we’ve got an evening race on the schedule, is anyone planning to catch the action at a local pub in Chicago? 🤷🤷

gentlebear47 said:Regarding that last part of your post—if I gave you a hint, it would be Budweiser. Does that make more sense now?

As a massive fan of HP, I’m feeling pretty embarrassed right about now 😳 😳 😳

redheron12 said:It’s honestly heartbreaking watching what happened to Williams. You look at all that legacy and sheer engineering brilliance—they basically built the greatest car in history once upon a time—and now they’re out there celebrating pole positions like little kids on a sugar rush. 🙂

Yeah, it’s depressing, I agree. But hey, what can you do? Shit happens, right?
If they’re still acting this giddy tomorrow, I'll make sure I'm not sober when I watch. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

gentlebear47 said:Velis won't happen; all that money and effort, and yet...

🤷

By the way, doesn't the rule exist that if track conditions shift—and today was clearly a washout—you're allowed to tweak certain setup parameters? I'm thinking things like ride height, wing angles, and so on.

shadowtinker29 said:You're really pushing back on this... It seems pretty clear that Hulk was the only one who actually nailed the wet weather setup. 😁

The tire temperature was absolutely everything in Q3, and if you look at the data, it isn't exactly rocket science to figure out why Hulk managed to get his up faster than anyone else...

Well, we'll just have to wait and see how it all unfolds when the checkered flag drops. 🙂
I'm planning on enjoying a few 😁 🙏🙏🙏
Budweisers
tonight regardless of the result. btw http://twitpic.com/34h7a8

shadowtinker29 said:Great qualities...

It looks like Hulkenberg is praying to every deity out there tonight that we get some drizzle tomorrow...

Having all that extra downforce compared to the guys running a full dry setup could really come back to haunt him...

Do you really think that's what happened? I guess we'll find out tomorrow. 😬
I’m honestly rooting for you to be wrong on this one. 🙂

Then again, maybe he was just running light on fuel, aiming for pole position and seeing where the chips fall? 😁 🤣🤣

cosmicridge5 said:Oh, come on now, let's not get too paranoid just yet. 😁

Hulk is going to get swallowed whole in that first turn. 😁 There’s still a fighting chance for Sebastian, so don't give up hope just yet. 🙏 😁

And look at that—Seb is outperforming Mark Webber once again. 👋

Hulk 🙏 Preludo 🙏

If you end up racing against Williams Racing, you'll be right back at the bottom of the standings. ☕ 😛

Keith Rodriguez27 said:Nico Hulkenberg 🙏🙏 is

actually dropping more than half a second per lap by the end of it 🙏🙏🙏

He probably just ate too much junk food and let one rip on the way here 🤣🤣 🙏🙏🙏

gentlebear47 said:I am honestly just so thrilled for Hulk, for Williams, and especially for Sebastian—he’ll probably be celebrating hard tonight!

Tomorrow could turn out to be absolutely fantastic.

I hope he doesn't go too overboard; I have to drive home, and I certainly wouldn't want to end up looking like a total mess 😲 , plus there is someone special waiting for me at home 😍

Thanks to those little troublemakers who sent me the results even though I didn't ask for them 😠😠
Now the whole sense of anticipation and suspense is completely ruined for me 👎

But oh well, at least he's on pole. I wonder if he'll lose a few spots tomorrow? It seems unlikely if his setup is optimized for a dry track while everyone else is struggling with the wet 🙏🙏

It’s a good thing I'm heading out for a drink tonight; now I have a perfectly valid excuse 🙏🙏

🙂🙂🙂

What is wrong with you people? Honestly, Kubica could walk away with this race if things go sideways. We've got rain in the forecast, and we all know how unpredictable things get in Brazil. If the downpour picks up just a little bit, the track will be covered in streams again, and we'll end up with a graveyard of wrecked cars at the exact same corner, much like what happened back in 2003, I believe...

In conditions like those, winning isn't just about driving; you need a bit of technical insight, some serious guts, and an absolutely massive amount of luck.

A stretch?
I’d actually put money on that happening; I think it's a very real possibility. ☕

It isn't a live stream, but it's an interesting read nonetheless. 👍

🙏🙏🙏

I’m half expecting TWG to announce some kind of specialized mudguards during this race—something they’d only roll out when the weather turns sideways and it starts pouring 🙏🙏🙏

I remember once being told by a gentleman over at Allstate that their court ruling didn't actually obligate them to adjust the payout amount. It was a strange situation—the police report originally placed me at 50% fault for the accident, which I eventually managed to successfully dispute in court. Despite that victory, Allstate still tried to offer me only half of the damages, stubbornly clinging to that initial police report as if it were gospel.
granted, I did eventually receive a settlement for my injuries after a lawsuit that dragged on for about three years, but still...

😂😂😂

I really did try to give everyone a fair warning in my previous post, didn't I? I suggested we all just settle down and act like adults for once.
But then, immediately after, you decide this is the perfect moment to play the comedian and start trolling everyone. You really walked right into a buzzsaw there, didn't you? ☕

And do you honestly believe that acting out because you have such a low score is going to work? Honestly, it’s almost funny.😂😂😂😂😂

eBay 😍

I finally found it, and yeah, it really was a Minardi 😬 🙏🙏 🙏

ruggedfox28 said:Well, they actually showed a little snippet of his exit during the official broadcast right after Blazicko and Novak joined the feed. You could see it clearly on the local news, and they even went on to explain that we’d be seeing one fewer driver on the starting grid this time around...

VIDEO FROM YUBITOLA 😉

I actually just flicked the TV on right as the lights went out, so I missed the whole thing.😬

Roger Wright94 said:It’s not just hearsay; I was actually watching the coverage on German TV.
I'm still not entirely sure what caused it, though I haven't gone looking for the specifics yet.

Last year, during the final NASCAR race, Casey Stoner had a similarly bizarre exit—it happened right during a warm-up lap. If I recall correctly, Casey Stoner was also running on Bridgestone tires back then.
It’s hard to wrap your head around, especially if you're rooting for them, but I suppose that's just how racing goes sometimes.

Wasn't there some kind of collision about a year ago? I think either McLaren or Minardi was involved, if my memory serves me right.🙏
