Double retirement from Mercedes, now that's surprising.  

Fred with a great drive, both Haas finishing way up there (though let's be honest, Mercedes double-retirement has something to do with that).

Also loved Seb's pass on Hamilton, unfortunately we haven't gotten to see a lot of those two racing one another.

Fun race, now, on to the Britons. (We are all Britons)

Maybe Zak will get smart and hire Stefano, & he'll bring Lambo power with him...

Could see the first part. But buying the speedway. No chance in hell. Is that real or is my sarcasm meter broken?

The tweet is real, but I'm gonna take it with a grain of salt.

Lewis drove a van to the marshall’s camp area and handed out beer, ice, and snacks after FP2. Pretty cool.

[PittsburghTiger 6340]

I know he is young, but I am wondering how long the Lance Stroll Experiment will go on now.

[Goofyboy 3431]

As long as his daddy pays for his seat?

[wood 11763]

Brundle tearing around a wet Silverstone in the 246 Dino...wow. Awesome.

ETA...and now racing Herbert & Kimi out in BFE on hovercraft lol.

Yeah there are rumors now that they're sniffing around FI. Lots of rumors around FI atm though.

[wood 11763]

Guy Martin can't shut up...

[Anton Chigurh 3335]

Well, Lewis caught up quickly. Wonder where he can get it.

[wood 11763]

Kimi's 10s penalty is fucking nuts in light of the 5s for all of Vettel's shenanigans last race ... and after the FIA has said they're being more lenient on race start incidents.

[wood 11763]

Oh, Sauber...

[wood 11763]

KMag is one fucking dirty driver.

[Goofyboy 3431]

Did Max and Ricardo touch?

[wood 11763]

Not sure. They haven't really addressed it since. I wonder if Max's damage was caused by a touch or if he had a failure that made him spin in the first place.

Edited July 8, 2018 by wood

[Anton Chigurh 3335]

I believe he couldn’t slow down enough after getting stuck in 4th and spun.

[wood 11763]

Max just said a brake-by-wire problem locked up the rears and he spun off and then couldn't continue. No mention of a touch.

Horner confirmed the BBW issue caused the spin & that the spin caused a clutch issue which ended Max's race.

toilet thought:  why havent they installed 360* cameras on the F1 cars for broadcast.

[Hawndoh 2409]

pretty fun race, especially the last 11-12 laps. I wish RIC could have gotten more involved there at the end but overall very entertaining.

[wood 11763]

Welp...never mind. Guess they took the image down.

Sad to see Mercedes acting like a bunch of chumpy dickheads after this one.

Not F1, but what do you guys make of this Santino Ferrucci thing? I have not seen a update today, but did anybody hear what his dad did to the other kids family?

He and his dad are incredible, racist imbeciles.

Didn't hear.

From the very beginning this kid always seemed a bit 'off' to me.

[Capn81 397]

I thought the same.

What'd his dad do?

[Capn81 397]

What'd his dad do?

It sounds like he and Santino were mocking his Indian teammate in a racial/stereotypical type of way all weekend.

[ConferenceRoom 6214]

Should have called him a cucumber and left it at that.

Ol' Punchy Face has lost his F2 drive. Whoops.

[Capn81 397]

Wonder if this would have come to light if daddy made his promised payments to the team?

Hockenheim weekend. A historic track. I was there and saw Schumacher win the 1995 race. A lot of people don't know that this was the site of Jimmy Clark's death, in a Formula 2 race. I'll never forget how the crowd reacted when Hill went off at the beginning of lap 2.

 

 

[ConferenceRoom 6214]

One of my bucket list items is to make the walk through the forest to his marker. They don't make them like that anymore.

[RamjetFDO 10648]

Lewis having some shit luck today. Car's done and he's out of qualifying!

[utee94 16079]

Loved the look of those mid 90s cars. 

But man, sure coulda used some HDTV back then...
