I think we had crossed wires, I downloaded for offline viewing because I was Expecting a blackout.
I thought you were saying the the Blackout was cancelled.

All is good, Battery fully charged on 10" Tablet and Wireless Noise cancelling Headphones, Season 3 on SD Card, throw in an Ice bucket of Beer and I will not even know the power is out.

I wonder what % of F1 fans have actually been to a race.

I’ve had the opportunity to go to many, but been to none. I want to watch the race, the whole race, not just what the cars do down the straight or at a certain corner where I’m penned in the middle of a crowd for the race.

I couldn’t give two f**ks for sideshows, concerts and whatnot, all I want is an exciting Grand Prix with lots of action. Any track that can’t give that is a failure. I would be willing to bet that Saudi is more likely to be one of those boring yawnfests rather than an exciting race. Let’s wait and see.

Just watching that Saudi track guide, like most street circuits there only seems to be one line through the corners. Which means if you don't get your overtake done at the end of the drs enabled section, you'll have to wait another lap to try again.

Valtteri Bottas 'almost retired after Hamilton team orders'​


Valtteri Bottas has admitted he considered retirement after being ordered to hand his first place to Lewis Hamilton at 2018 Russian GP, and feels there might almost be unconscious bias within Mercedes

Valtteri Bottas has admitted he thought of “quitting, of giving up” after being instructed by Mercedes to cede victory to team-mate Lewis Hamilton at the 2018 Russian Grand Prix.

Bottas was told to hand the place over to Hamilton to give him a further points advantage in his championship battle with Sebastian Vettel.

Speaking in an interview featured on the new Netflix Drive to Survive series, Bottas says that he fears he is sometimes treated “unconsciously” as a No2 driver by Mercedes. He revealed that the instructions he was dealt at Sochi and the resulting emotions became almost too much to bear.

Still one of the biggest a-hole moves Wolff has pulled. Absolutely no reason to rob Valtteri of a win where he had beaten Lewis in quali and had him beat in the race.

Second only to Austria 2002 for unnecessary BS.
