I missed that race

 

[ckhokie]

I was skeptical of the sprint races, but they’ve all been enjoyable. There was enough action throughout the field it seemed like TV cameras were having trouble following it all. Getting the distance right in between tire windows adds some additional excitement as well.

Damn it! Damn it! Another example of why you don't change your first picks!!

 

[Retroram52]

Verstappen takes it. Leclerc is 2nd, followed by a fast Perez, Sainz for 4th, Norris for 5th, Ricciardo for 6th, Bottas 7th.and Magnusson for 8th.

It's clear that these cars are better for following close too. That helps.

I thought Shaqdaddy just didn't bother with picks 4-8.

He did get 1st and 3rd with what he picked?

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Tomorrow:

Verstappen
Leclerc
Perez
Sainz

Shaqdaddy never answered my query and his subsequent posts def told me to forget about it. So...

 

[Retroram52]

I'll go with Verstappen, LeClerc, Perez, and Sainz for the Grand Prix tomorrow.

VER, LEC, PER, SAI

RB needs to finish a race

 

[Retroram52]

And what is up with the Mercs? Hamilton complaining he is losing power and handling and "there is nothing I can do" came over the radio in the Sprint. Time to retire and let the youngsters go do the job.

Balls.

There is nothing he can do. Russell isn't doing much better.

The car is currently a bitchy pig. Nothing to do with either driver.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

MB has for sure fumbled something.

I went out in Panzerwagon today and did a Race Start for shits and giggles.

Fun stuff. Brightened my day.

May have to do it again tomorrow.

No victory laps.

It’s weird how the Mercs and AMs can’t get the porpoising under control enough to drop their ride height. I say that solely because the Ferraris clearly are still bouncing all over the place (sometimes pretty violently) and yet can maintain serious speed over a full lap.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

great you gave out all these possible extra points & I didnt play

 

[Schmoopy1000]

Gonna go with
Verstappen
Perez
Leclerc
Sainz
