Brazil vs. USA - Nov 7, 2010

Nico Hulkenberg 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

man, he’s actually pulling more than half a second per lap at the end 🙏🙏🙏

Man, I am just so pumped for Hulk, Williams, and especially Sebastian—he’s definitely gonna be celebrating hard tonight!

Tomorrow could actually turn out to be freaking awesome.

Hulk 🙏 🙏 🙏
Honestly, the guy looks like Kimi Räikkönen, and he kept it pretty chill too... kind of refreshing compared to that other German who screams into his mic every time he wins something ☕
Fingers crossed the two Red Bull Racing cars tangle up at Turn 1, let Robert Kubica slice through the mess into second, and leave everyone else stuck behind Hulk until the checkered flag 🙏 🙏

Hulk's gonna get eaten up in Turn 1. 😁 It’s still possible for Sebastian, don't lose hope. 🙏 😁

And Seb is faster than Mark Webber again. 👋

Hulk 🙏 Preludo 🙏

If Red Bull starts like they have been lately, Nico Hulkenberg will leave them two seconds behind right off the line.

I'm taking tomorrow off to enjoy myself! 🙏

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 🙏🙏

🙂🙂🙂

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 😍

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

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. ☕ 😛

Some great laps there...

Hulkenberg is basically praying to every god in existence tonight that we get some rain tomorrow...

Having all that extra downforce compared to the guys running a full dry setup tomorrow is going to be a massive headache for him...

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? 😁 🤣🤣

now the whole fun of watching and being surprised is totally ruined for me👎

but whatever, at least he's sitting on pole. I mean, will he lose any spots tomorrow? That'll be toughif he’s got a dry setup while everyone else is dealing with wet tracks🙏🙏

Luckily enough, I'm heading out for a few drinks tonight—now I actually have a solid excuse🙏 🙏

Talk about bad luck... Hulkenberg is the only one with a wet weather setup.😁

Tires were everything in Q3, and honestly, it isn't hard to guess why Marvel got them up to temperature faster than anyone else...

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

mistybear87 said:Hopefully not too much. I gotta drive home later (and trust me, nobody wants to be stuck like some guy from 😲 ), plus there's already one girl in the mix 😍

Velis says it won't happen; All that cash and effort, and then...

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.

Button is terrified he won't be able to help Hamilton out😢

Poor Button. That was basically his life's mission right there.😢

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

🤷

Man, if tomorrow's race conditions were actually like this... damp tracks, light drizzle, then drying out... damn, what an epic race that would be.

It’s honestly heartbreaking to see what happened with Williams—such a deep legacy and so much technical expertise, arguably producing the greatest car ever built—yet today they're celebrating mid-field points like kids at a birthday party.🙂

Regarding that last bit in your post—here's a little hint: think Budweiser. Does that clear things up?
