and I was pretty sure it would be 🙂

I can't believe these idiots over at FOX don't even have a live broadcast; they just show a recording at 10:25 PM.🙄

Well, why aren't you just watching through BBC online?😁

I'm still pretty skeptical about this whole fake LAN adapter thing 😳

If I wasn't being such a lazy bum lately, I would've already set up some towers and hooked up the antennas—satellite or terrestrial, whatever. 🤣

Right now, everything is still nowhere near where it needs to be.😂

I guess you want me to get started... just let me know what you need. ☕

A bit late to the party here...😁

I mean, what on earth happened to McM? It’s like the tires are just evaporating right before our eyes...🤣

Soft tires are just evaporating on everyone... Jenson Button claims people are losing two seconds by trying to nurse them, and even then, they just disintegrate after a handful of laps.

It’ll be interesting to see how the strategies play out tomorrow. Honestly, the tires this season seem way too durable. If we actually wanted a show, it would be much better if the soft compounds only lasted maybe 5-10 laps, with the hards topping out at half the race distance. ☕

True, but compared to how things looked during yesterday's first practice session, the car feels like it's gone completely rogue, and it's not just an issue with the rubber
he says he's not feeling the track at all..🤣🤣

McLaren clearly has some massive issues with a full fuel load; word is they're bottoming out hard on the asphalt. That makes things interesting. They might actually challenge PP during qualifying if they're on softs, but once they fuel up and get stuck on the track at the start, PP will blow past them and Chandok will be at turn one before they even wake up.🤣

If anyone happens to stumble upon a decent link online, please drop it here, because these idiots over at BHT won't be broadcasting a single thing thanks to the SP.🤦

Don't give me that garbage. 😁

Apparently, the car is bottoming out hard against the track, which changes the whole dynamic. It makes things interesting—they might actually hold their own in qualifying if they stick to soft tires, but once they fuel up and that car starts dragging on the asphalt at the start, they'll be sitting ducks. I wouldn't be surprised if Chandok finds himself overtaken before they even hit the first corner. 🤣

McLaren 😁

Why not? 😁

I'm just waiting to see Witmarsh at the start, watching how he pushes Jenson Button's car, and then seeing that little firecracker push Lewis Hamilton 😁

I'm just sitting here waiting to see Witmarsh at the start line pushing Jenson Button's car, along with that little bouncy thing trying to keep up with Lewis Hamilton 😁

That's it...🙏 , and they solved that whole low ride height issue by basically strapping a skateboard underneath the chassis 😁

Apparently, they borrowed the skateboard from Red Bull, since management claims they're tired of burning through gas on a scooter now that these two drivers are eating up half the budget, so they figured they'd just cruise to the pits instead 🤣🤣

F1Lite - "Meanwhile, Bridgestone have announced it will be "impossible" to complete the 70 lap Canadian GP without atleast two pitstops"

using B-net is like trying to aim with your eyes closed.. 🙄

But B-net carries PBS, ABC, and German FOX 🤷 So how can you say you don't have them?

Honestly, who knows where the boss even is right now; it's Saturday, the sun is out, I've got a cold beer in hand, and I'm assuming someone's firing up the grill somewhere nearby.🤣

Joshua Newman2 said:Soft tires are a nightmare for everyone...
Buttons says drivers are losing about 2 seconds because they're trying to baby them, and then those same tires just fall apart after a few laps anyway.
☕

Watching the strategy tomorrow should be interesting. Honestly, the tires this season last way too long. It’d be a hell of a lot more exciting if the softs only lasted 5-10 laps and the hards topped out at half the race.

Prile, you're forgetting there's a high chance of rain during qualifying, and we're probably looking at showers tomorrow too...

It isn't that I'm forgetting; if anything, I'm banking on it. 🙏
If those soft compounds are disintegrating after just four or five laps, and Bridgestone is claiming nobody can make it to the finish line without at least two pit stops, I highly doubt the wet tires will be any more durable. 🤷
