Random F-1 stuff

[Hank Kingsley]

With it being the Canuckistanian Grand Prix this weekend TSN played a couple historical races. First was 2007 where it was Hamilton’s first win in a McLaren and F1.

The second one was 2011. That was a brilliant race. Amazing. Rain, safety cars, craziness. Jensen button won that one. At many points He was dead last. it was incredible. He pitted 6 times. As the Q-becers would say, Incroyable!

Still not fussed about Andretti stuff. You should just buy a team. Make somebody an offer they can’t refuse.

Sounds like Haas might be willing to sale.

I dont understand this no more DRS.
They say they are giving up to 300% more battery. So it makes it easier to pass, but they already have battery power. Increase it they all have it increased. So wouldnt the guy in front just use it to defend against the pass when you use it to pass? Seems like it is gonna make less passing ability. Not better.

Is there something I am not getting?

 

[Retroram52]

Nope Schmoopy. You are just as confused as everyone else except these idiots. This is going to be the Chaos car because the dumbasses running the Dog and Pony Shitshow called F-1 don't know what the hell they are doing.

 

[obxyankeefan]

Sounded to me like they have something replacing the DRS for passing, while all cars get DRS in DRS zones. Smaller car should make Monaco better at least.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Nothing can make Monaco better. Short of euthanization.

 

[Retroram52]

Monaco is just too crowded and no space for expansion unless they go outside of the city.

Is MB back?

 

[Schmoopy1000]

Is MB back?

was gonna say.
For you Hamilton fans. This could be your weekend.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

Boy Jacques Villeneuve pulls no punches on his thoughts. Calls out Magnussen & F1.

[Schmoopy1000]

Might have to change my mind on Haas getting out.
They just signed Oliver Bearman to replace Hulkenberg. This doesnt seem like an owner looking to get out of the sport.
(Also rumors of maybe Bottas)

BTW.
Congrats to Danny Ric in Qualifying. (cant help but like the guy)
Hope he finishes in the points today.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

gonna start in the rain.
Gonna be an interesting race.
Could this help Perez & the Ferrari's?

Will the front runners play nice at start of race?

 

[Hank Kingsley]

It was a very entertaining race.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

It was a very entertaining race.

Felt bad for Norris.
Actually made quality passes even against Verstappen.
Once Verstappen got the lead, I had figured race was over.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

It was closely contested all around. The one thing that is totally amazing was the total collapse of Ferrari. And of course Perez stinking the joint up.
