Spanish Embassy (San Francisco-California) May 22, 2011

Glad to see nobody can get a handle on Mark yet 🙂😁😁

It’s honestly kind of a joke, but they're over on ESPN debating whether Heitfeld even has the green light to take part in qualifying. From what I'm hearing from the F1 paddock, it looks like a hard no.

grandpa 😲😲😲

Is everything okay with Vettel? Only three laps left and he hasn't even put a time on the board yet.🤷

EDIT; Okay, word just came in—engine trouble. The mechanics over at Mercedes are scrambling to tighten things up, praying they can still pull off a qualifying simulation!

Ford 😢

Anyone else catching Goran? He’s totally... preteč... pretič... uh, what was that word? 😁

Are they messing with the exhausts? 🍿

Did you completely forget about the tournament? Or were you just running late? 🙂

Nah, I didn't forget... everything's totally under control... 😁

Anyone watching ESPN? 😂

They’re saying on ESPN that Charlie mentioned if one team shows up with a legal exhaust system and starts complaining, it might be easy enough to get everyone else disqualified. 🤣🤣

And from what I can tell, only Virgin and ABC have a legal exhaust setup for this race. 🤣

It’ll be a total joke if this actually happens:

1. Timo Glock
2. Jerome d'Ambrosio
3. Vitantonio Liuzzi
4. Narain Karthikeyan

DSQ - everyone else 🤣

Assuming any of those four even finish the race, that is. 😂

Not that I really care what ESPN says, since you can see the same nonsense all over Twitter anyway.☕

And why on earth wouldn't he be allowed to qualify?🤷

Absolute disaster. Total mess.☕

He could have actually learned something here if he tried.

👍

Who needs the BBC when we've got Jerga dropping the real intel? 😁

So, Jerga was out there claiming that three different teams aren't running that illegal exhaust setup... and he even threw Williams into that mix. Honestly, we all know how much they love to talk big. 🤣

Weber stepped onto the field in those soft pads and absolutely tore them apart like he was hunting rabbits!

Honestly, that brewery is just plain boring, even if the owner happens to have American roots.😠

If that chassis is busted and they have to swap it out, you're basically looking at a DNF for the day. At least, that's how I took it!

Look, don't sweat it. Every once in a while, he just completely blows a training session. Honestly, whenever that happens, I just slot him down into 5th or 6th place in my mind, and then—boom—he absolutely loses his mind and grabs the pole position. It's like clockwork!

Honestly, I’m starting to lose my damn mind here. I am genuinely getting worked up. 😛

Take it easy, man. You’re just gonna pull a muscle if you push too hard, and honestly? It’s just one workout 🤣

here’s the absolute garbage

killed it🙄

And then young Petl just rolls up out of nowhere and clocks a personal best in a single lap? Seriously? How incredibly annoying is that!🙄

I absolutely can't stand him.😠
