F1 - General discussion and 2017

Danny Ric on for a very unexpected podium?

Yoh... how did I miss that
Good spot! He's been totally out of the camera all race long.

Vettal is doing well keeping up.

He will get his chances at the end of the race with Lewis's tyres degrading.

Nail biting finish expected...

Nah, Massa took care of that lol.

And hows Alonso taking a Williams??
This is a race for Macca to remember lol.

Do you think Massa's Engineer said "Alonso is faster than you"

Hamilton 4 seconds clear and 4 laps to go...

 

[Agent_Smith]

Good race! Pity that rain didn't arrive but really exciting stuff!

 

[Dave]

Hamilton managed to keep those tyres in good condition, looks like he kept pulling away right till the end.

Hehehe....
Driver of the day for me was Alonso.

 

[Dave]

Good race points for Force India as well.

I withdraw that - Kimi was driver of the day for taking the time to find that kid in tears and help make his day. Nice gesture.

The kid is still there for the podium ceremony. What a day it's turned out for him.

And his dad. I would imagine they took the whole family into the Ferrari Hospitality Motorhome.

 

[Genisys]

Can it be? A McLaren finished a race? Damn.

 

[skyhawk]

Bottas driver of the day.

 

[Polish]

Well done Lewis.

Driver of the day for me Vettel.

Next.

Would love to see more on the kid.

 

[caroper]

Would love to see more on the kid.

There was a lot more on the sky coverage, Ted Kravitz ended up giving the kid a microphone and interviewing him in Broken English and French

It may well make it onto youtube.

Amazing race - this is what i've been waiting for. This season is shaping up to be a slugfest and I'm loving it

I honestly don't know which car is quicker atm - and that's ****ing brilliant

Too true. To the naked eye it seems that the merc has more grunt and less drag but likely less downforce as well compared to the Ferrari. The Ferrari just seems to have the sweetest chassis this year.

Would have been awesome if we had Ricciardo, Alonso, Vettel and Hamilton all in equally capable cars. But these two slugging it out at the front is still super entertaining. Much better than last years in team competition with all it's restrictions.

Only thing missing is..... Rosberg.... In a Ferrari!!! Man, that would be just insane!!

TBH i'd rather see Alonso back at Ferrari, i think he'd do much more with that car than Kimi (accident omitting).
