  1. Sir Hamilton is over it too. Now to wait for the new team livery pics....... https://www.yahoo.com/sports/hamilton-knighted-just-days-f1-125302551.html
  2. Toto still got his constructors' championship. Looks like Mercedes is drunk and over it. On to next season! LH in the corner on the team radio "That's some dangerous drinking"
  3. Is Alpha Romeo asking him? I think Bottas quit taking Toto's calls a few days ago. Hamilton was always going to be on his own today.
  4. Toto went full prevent defense once LH took the big lead. He was playing to not lose. RB played to win and go home to fuck the prom queen. I hope McLaren can get a quality car together next year and punt both of these teams off of the podium.
  5. Drivers bitch about other drivers. Receivers ask for pass interference on every play. Soccer players fall down like they have been shot after getting brushed by a butterfly. This is the way.
  6. I think his car was actually just fine. RB just brought him in for a steak and a BJ. His job was done for the day.
  7. Both RB cars pitted at lap 36. LH had been on Hards since lap 14. While you can't predict the future, that's a long way to go and not expect someone to bring out the safety car. I think Mercedes had time to pit later in the race and still be in the lead. Maybe I'm wrong and perhaps it doesn't make a difference with Max on his super fresh set of softs though. I am amazed at how quickly they cleared the wreckage. I was sure we were going to finish under yellow.
  8. Man, it sucks that we are all sitting here bitching about the race officials and rules instead of the on track excitement. Everyone was at fault today. Masi was an idiot. I applaud the effort to have the race finish under green, but if he wanted to clear the midfield, he needed to relay that information earlier and allow RB & Mercedes to plan accordingly. He has made shitty decisions all year and I hope he gets fired. He is the Angel Hernandez of F1. Mercedes can bitch all they want, but they had ample opportunity in the latter part of the race to pit and get a fresh set of tires. They played the conservative game, rolled the dice and lost. Poor race management by Toto. Never leave the game in the hands of the officials. Even with the Masi gift, Red Bull still earned it on the track today. Perez was amazing as a teammate today and the late swap to a fresh set of softs for Max was a great call. The whole team at RB pulled together to get max P1. Also, LH and Max are both whiny unlikable bitches. I would love to see Riccardo, Lando and Alonso in competitive cars next year so I would actually have someone to root for.
  9. That was a good call and nice pit strategy by Red Bull.
  10. Wow. Awesome
  11. Race on!
  12. LH complaining as the race will certainly finish under yellow. So on point.
  13. Game over.
  14. Love seeing Kimi leading driver of the day votes!
  15. Race day plan C for Mercedes will be to have Bottas stuff his car into the wall and pull out the safety car for Hamilton to either pit or nurse his tires under yellow for several laps. Here is your parting bonus check Valtteri.
  16. Man, that would be a some great Drive to Survive footage next year
  17. Hamilton is pretty damn good at nursing tires while complaining about them the whole time on the radio. I've seen this movie before.
  18. Damn it. Kimi out.
  19. Max needs to learn to dial it back a half click. He is the best driver on the track if he could just get his head out of his ass. Last week kissing the wall with a 0.3 sec advantage while only needing 0.1. Flat spotting his mediums yesterday and screwing the race strategy today. He got caught sleeping at the start today. He has been his own worst enemy over the past several races and you can tell the pressure got to him.
  20. Lando P3 worked out well for Red Bull. I don't think he will be wanting to dive in to inadvertently take out either Max or LH at the start. Expect to see Perez on the softs to pass him pretty early on and hassle LH while Max tries to build a lead and salvage having to start on the soft tires. Bottas will be a non factor as he prepares for his Alfa Romeo future next year.
  21. Slipstreaming behind the car in front of you to reduce aerodynamic resistance and achieve a higher top speed. Here is Horner discussing Max's lap today: Team Principal Christian Horner provided further insight into how Red Bull used the tow to match Mercedes on the straights and out-qualify them. “We discussed the slipstream this morning,” he said. “We lowered the downforce, it was the only way to match [Mercedes] on the straights. Q2 came more towards us, and then both runs in Q3 were exceptional. That tow, Checo working with his team mate; absolutely perfect teamwork today. I think that's one of Max's best laps of the year,” he said.
  22. Only 0.4 seconds faster with softs and a huge tow from Perez. I think Mercedes is in a pretty nice spot for tomorrow. Whatever "aero" they figured out has been pretty magical for the back half of the season.
  23. Omega Aqua Terra https://www.omegawatches.com/en-us/watches/seamaster/aqua-terra-150m/ladies-collection/catalog
  24. Dressy and a steel bracelet does not compute for me personally, but IWC does offer the Portugieser line with a bracelet.
  25. If he doesn’t need a chrono function, this would be my choice.
