mistybear87 said:come on, the absolute deadliest thing for drivers coming up behind is trying to guess which way a spinning car is gonna slide. just look at that last Alesi race, I think it was Suzuka back in 2001, Kimi starts spinning right in front of him and this guy is swerving left, right, left, and then BAM—straight into Kimi.
why? because Kimi had zero control over his Sauber and Alesi couldn't predict the trajectory, so in his desperate attempt to dodge him, he ended up hitting him anyway.

and check out an example from last year, when Webber spun out in the rain and took out Rosberg, who was trying to get out of the way but just couldn't make it. there was a massive debate about whether Webber should've just braked and stayed put instead of letting the car roll across the track.

that's exactly why we have rules about "safe" re-entry. Hamilton being impatient is on him. but it's freaking obvious he should've waited for the traffic to clear before turning onto the track, no doubt about it.

I'm with you. Though if I'm adding anything, even Hamilton's partial stop—as much safer as it was compared to spinning across the track—doesn't look totally safe to me either because of how close the oncoming cars were. If he actually wanted a clean situation, he should've pulled further toward the opposite side of the track and waited for everyone to pass. But spinning across the track? Absolutely not.

di Resta got spooked, and that's why he bailed. People acting like Red Bull and Williams cruised right through while di Resta couldn't make it work... total bullshit.

That's a screenshot from when he was still spinning; he hadn't been brought to a full stop yet.

And obviously, di Resta freaked out. He sees he's gotta drive past a car sitting dead on the track, and then that exact car starts moving right toward him just as he's trying to pass. Of course he's gonna jump.

If you ask me, neither you nor mistybear87 are hitting the mark here, because Lewis still needed to clear the way so he wasn't blocking everyone else." alt="image" loading="lazy" class="bb-img">[/I]

It was pretty obvious there just wasn't enough room when Andrea di Resta got forced off the track.

goldenpilot2 said:You're dead wrong—if he had actually STAYED in line, everyone would’ve been kicked off the track. His rear end was barely an inch from the edge. And don't even get me started on how much of a genius move it would've been to expose those BOK formulas to a potential crash.

So yeah, zero points for that logic. Zero.

He shouldn't have waited, and he definitely shouldn't have cut right back into traffic. He should've swung to the other side of the track, or even pulled way off, and then merged once there wasn't a car breathing down his neck.

First impressions? They were alright. Crowds were decent, nothing crazy, but the food was such a rip-off we just stuck to eating our own snacks. The merch was overpriced too, though I did snag a sweet t-shirt (sadly not my size). Some idiots at the entrance wouldn't let us bring our folding chairs in, so we ended up just sitting on the ground, but whatever, it wasn't a huge deal.
Overall, pretty good experience. 🙏

Alright, awesome. 🙂

Honestly, you probably should've hit Indianapolis Motor Speedway first because from what I hear, after Monza, racing in Canada is a couple of classes lower in terms of quality. 😁

Man, then quit holding out and spill some more details. 🙏 🙏 👋

And you got any pics? 😁

darkmarlin16 said:Nando’s driving today was pretty much a total disaster.☕ Izletel spun out three times, wasted a ton of time trailing behind Mercedes-Benz and Massinha. When he first blew past Rosberg, he was absolutely flying—set the fastest lap on track, pulled away from him instantly, and I think he got within less than a second of Jenson Button. He was right on his tail. But then everything went south, and he had to spend the rest of the race playing catch-up.

The vibes were terrible, but look at the result: 🙏🙏🙏

I thought it looked brutal at first too, but as the race dragged on, he actually started closing the gap on the leaders. He tightened things up, made fewer mistakes, and honestly, both his driving and his strategy improved significantly. He's lucky as hell he didn't stay stuck in that mess he was in at the start.

redheron12 said:Yup, they went intermediates, then Lewis Hamilton switched over to intermediates too.

Alright, thanks. 🙂

This totally changes how you look at Alonso's performance 😁, but whatever, he played the hand he was dealt. Honestly, I think it was a pretty solid weekend for him, especially since the McLarens were clearly running circles around Ferrari here.

Gary Palmer8 said:Didn't Mark Webber mess up by switching to intermediates there?

Look, I don't know, man. I honestly can't recall. I wasn't even paying that much attention since he wasn't really fighting for the lead. 😁Now that you bring it up, maybe he did, but I have zero clue.

ESPN will probably give us the full breakdown soon enough. 😁

cosmichawk12 said:Alonso—didn't really blow me away, but hey, he got the podium

Look, in my book, Alonso (rightfully) spent most of his time stuck in the shadow of those two McLarens, but you can't deny he drove an absolute masterclass today. I mean, look at the finish—he absolutely smoked Mark Webber, pulling out a massive thirty-second gap even though he started on those super-softs while Webber jumped straight onto the hards. Pure class.

nimblesurfer17 said:honestly, I was wondering why nobody is giving him any credit..😁 the guy seriously crushed it..🙏 anyway, what do you guys think, which car is better, Unknown or McLaren? 🤷 I've got this gut feeling that Unknown actually has potential, it's just that their drivers rarely know how to actually tap into it..

I'm calling it—McLaren is still the better ride, but they were totally off their game during this race. On the flip side, Aston Martin actually blew past expectations. If you ask me, right now McLaren and Aston Martin are neck and neck, and I’d even go as far as saying they've actually overtaken Ford. STR is trailing behind all of them (not by much, but still).

stormybadger8 said:Nah, what are you talking about? He actually outpaced Unknown on the faster reds while running those slower yellows on this track. 😁

Best part of my day right here.🤣

Those yellows were faster today. Period. 😉

Check this out—here’s what Massa was working on right when he rolled up to the track. 🤣🤣🤣

Lojzek's gone off the rails again, totally lost the plot for the second time on this trip. 🤣🤣🤣

Sebastian Vettel is cracking under the pressure yet again. 🙏 🙏 👋 👋

FedEx and Lewis 🙏 🙏 🙏

Mercedes 🙏

literally zero grip 🙏

ruggedfox28 said:but everyone was sweating bullets 🤣 🤣

Martin Brundle's armpit sweat stain—absolutely priceless 🙏

🤣🤣🤣

start of the race with light rain. 👋👋👋

bravo Jenson Button, absolutely masterclass driving 🙏

aaaaaaaaaaa pit stop battle: Ferrari vs. BBC 🤣🤣🤣 🙏
