I don't know, it's getting weird how he has issues every single race. Either his crew is messing up or something else is going on, who knows, but I'm honestly over this whole qualifying situation. Honestly, if he hadn't had the guts to go for it during those rainy races, he'd be sitting at zero points right now.
Not sure if you guys saw this, but I was reading yesterday that Webber was actually at fault for the crash—or rather, it was their version of the air duct, or whatever they call it. Apparently, while everyone else just plugs a hole in a Red Bull with an elbow or a knee, this thing gets blocked by just four fingers, leaving nothing but a thumb on the steering wheel. There’s even footage showing Webber blocking the intake right before the impact, which meant he couldn't react in time to dodge Smith 😬
Honestly, the world would probably fall apart if we didn't get at least 15 minutes of watching Americans get schooled on the tennis court🙄
It’s on ESPN+ and some German networks, plus there should be some streams available
Anyway, regarding the rain—it's only listed on the official weather site. I checked about ten different forecasting sites, and the closest anyone gets to predicting rain is one site saying we might see a few drops tomorrow around noon. It feels like they put it on the official site just to bait people🙂 they've done this a few times before (even for Canada) and instead of a light drizzle, it turned into a complete disaster
Mark Ruiz8 said:Wasn't that when Matt Massa spun out like ten times during the race? 🙏
Yep 🍿
Basically, every single driver has spun at least once. Even Lewis Hamilton managed to spin despite driving the race of his life, but poor Felipe really set some records that day. 🙂
Could you not even manage to read two sentences of the intro? Seriously, imagine if I actually tried writing memoirs in English. 🤣
@mistybear87, my bad, but I'm detoxing starting Saturday and need to get myself functional for the race tonight, so I'll just be watching from the comfort of my couch. 😳
The track layout changed, so all previous lap records are basically dead now. Looks like we're dodging rain, but you never know. 😉 Still, with this new setup, things should be pretty interesting.
Jonathan Booth5 said:1. Let's talk about the points then. F. Alonso: USA, bad start, everything goes wrong (everyone's fault); China, jump start, mental lapse; Monaco—3rd FP, let's put it in words, third free practice, hit the barrier, wrecked the car. Mapet could have been leading if not for his own mental lapses.
2. Why was Teflon only penalized with a DT in China six laps later, while the whole world watched thanks to that same Charlie as the guy zoomed past the Red Bulls? Look, there are specific procedures for deciding penalties, but Hamilton's infraction only became a priority for race control after Teflon's outburst and once they were absolutely certain a violation occurred (Charlie had to request the GPS data for car number 2, the SC, and the medical car, then checked the delta times, and to be certain, even requested footage from the FIA's helicopter, all of which had to be handed over to the stewards).
3. I didn't realize that battling for position and clipping wheels in the first corner was considered "dirty." Hamilton was in a position to attack Vettel, miscalculated, and broke his wing. Is that not enough of a penalty? And since we're discussing dirty play, at least he didn't wreck Vettel's car, which is a far cry from Teflon's mess in Australia, where his stunt nearly took out half of Michael Schumacher's car.
4. Teflon is quite simply a Ferrari failure. After nine races, this guy has made more mistakes and messes than Massa did in his entire career. Naturally, the spoiled brat starts blaming everyone except himself—it's in his nature (as it is with most prima donnas)—because at the end of the year, he has to justify a thirty-plus million dollar salary for a double world champion.
5. I never thought I'd admit this, but I truly feel bad that Michael Schumacher's engine blew in Suzuki 2006. Compared to this absolute clown, he's a real man and a friend, and I know exactly what kind of person Schumacher actually is.
