It would be quite a move if they just erased the grid up to 30th place and reset everything at 29. Wouldn't that be something?🤣

I’m hoping for a clean race with maybe one or two safety cars. If luck hits someone, it hits them.

You just want things to go your way like they did for Valtteri Bottas, don't you? We all know how you operate. ☕

🤣

We'll find out soon enough. 😂

shadowhawk24 said:You've got to be kidding me. 😁
I was actually hoping for a real race—maybe two Safety Cars, plenty of overtakes, and Romain Grosjean finishing in the top five. ☕

Top five in the wall, or top five after getting penalized? 😁

A light drizzle and some oily tracks.

Things might get interesting. 🍿

EDIT - actually, they won't. Switching to intermediates. 😁

It’s dropping.

stormybadger8 said:If Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, Mark Webber, Valtteri Bottas, and Nico Rosberg were hitting S1 in the 24.7-25.0 range and S2 around 27.9-28.2,
then the Ricciardo, Vergne, and Adrian Sutil group was at 25.0-25.5 for S1 and 28.3-28.8 for S2,
while the Kimi Räikkönen and Fernando Alonso crew was sitting at 26.x for S1 and 29.x for S2,

isn't it just reasonable to expect the faster drivers to finish ahead?
Though who knows? Maybe our maestro was just warming up for a final sector where he could somehow go two or three seconds faster than everyone else...

Unbelievable. Sometimes things happen that you just don't see coming... yet they do. 😲

Like a red flag.
Or rain, which can pick up, die down, or stop entirely at any moment.

Personally, I’d be happiest if Fernando Alonso or even Lewis Hamilton started somewhere around fifteenth. On a dry track, that is. I want to actually watch a race—watching Alonso, Lewis Hamilton, Mark Webber, or even Nico Rosberg fighting their way through from the back? That’s how you get a real race. 😍

Black on blond, Canadian edition. 😍😍😍

stormybadger8 said:How exactly was Valtteri Bottas lucky?

Honestly, it’s nothing at all.
That third-place finish? It’s a perfect reflection of how the cars actually stack up against one another, and how the drivers are performing in turn. 😍

stormybadger8 said:He really had luck on his side. He would have finished right behind both Aston Martins and Adrian Sutil if that rain hadn't absolutely soaked Sector 3.

So, what comes after Aston Martin? Is it just Marussia all over again? 😢

stormybadger8 said:What happens when you drop an average driver into a top-tier car?
The ones who are slightly below average start hugging the walls the second a few raindrops hit the track. Meanwhile, someone just a bit above average ends up bullying the crew at Williams and fighting tooth and nail just to stay ahead of the guys at Aston Martin...

Hey, let's not get carried away. ☕

Tyler Bennett5 said:It’s fair to say Valtteri Bottas is driving a total junker right now.

True, but isn't it also fair to say he just got lucky?

graniteharbor502 said:Sebastian Vettel once again proved exactly what kind of driver he is.
And Valtteri Bottas upheld that classic reputation for high-quality engineering from the North.

Yeah, just like Nico Hulkenberg at the USA GP back in '10.

Both of them.

Douglas Adams15 As requested:
Just a quick observation on that too. Plačko. I'd have to step in and defend this one... there are certain things you just don't joke about. Karma and all that.

Say hi to Emily Patel64 for me when she stops by. 😁

Brian Campbell36 said:Red Bull fixed their speed trap issue. Maybe we won't be watching total dominance for the rest of the season? 🤔

When Plan A fails, you move to Plan B. Simple as that. Why struggle with what isn't working? 😉

Tomorrow we finally get a real race... provided we have some luck and a dry track. 😁

Community Forum.

Bottas. 😂

Richard Vaughn62 said:I don't know, doesn't exactly strike me as wise. 🤷

Felipe and wisdom? 😍

Richard Vaughn62 said:That Brazilian amateur just ruined everything. 🤣

It’s frustrating when some nobody completely wrecks the entire race. 😁

darkmarlin16 said:"Ribbons of Hope" by NN

What a joke. 🤦

😂

What can you really expect from an "expert commentator" who cites Gary Anderson? 😁

Richard Vaughn62 said:Why didn't Massa pull his hands off the wheel before the crash? 🤔

I was just wondering the same thing.
Just like he didn't in Monaco.

But then again, if you check the slow-mo—in none of those three instances did the steering wheel budge even a millimeter after the impact.

Richard Vaughn62 said:Missed the mark entirely.

I know how you feel. 😂

Bottas and both Torro Rosso drivers made it into Q3.

As for Ferrari? Not even close. 😂

What kind of geniuses have gone off the rails here? 🍿
