Gooooooooombaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The count will be scheming his usual evil ways....

Sainz in the wall in FP1, lots of rain FP2. Should be interesting

[tonytiger55]

I love this track..! I might fire up GT6 for a spin around the track.

[rage2]

Didn’t realize bombardier sponsors Stroll. Tax dollars at work haha.

Sector 1 is so damn technical

[rage2]

Quail is live. Gotta love this race, great timing for TV.

It’s too bad Flames opener is tomorrow night. I’m going to have to leave the game early to catch the race live haha.

[tonytiger55]

Im just watching on my PVR.. Just watching Q2...The goomba has pace..

Hamiltons Qualifying Lap was pretty amazing to watch from the in car cam, he literally took the front tire to the limit and slightly under steered through the entire course, I was actually cringing thinking he was just going to slide out and crash. Takes some serious skill to nail that on every single corner!

It was insane.. he hit every corner so perfect. I was imaging his goomba face full on concentration..
His braking was so decisive.. fucking ace.

This will be Jolyon Palmer's last race with Renault. Guess he took the buyout after all. Renault targeting 5th in the constructors with Sainz.

[rage2]

It’s awesome how turn 1 is now flat on entry and used as a braking zone for turn 2.

[OTown]

^ Totally. Its pretty amazing the aero upgrades have done in that regards.

They cant follow each other for shit though.

Anyone staying up to watch the race?

Depends on the corner. Some corners can be taken flat this year with the increase in mechanical grip even with dirty air.

Staying up? It’s not even bedtime at 11 haha.

Without DRS there wouldn't be any passing at the top of the pack. This race is going to be a snooze-fest now.

No wonder Alonso wanted to do the Indy 500, that ring is quite impressive. Lewis has his eye on it, maybe next year. :rofl:

[tonytiger55]

Good race... End part was exciting. Verstappen was fingering Lewis's arse.. and Lewis was being in denial about liking it
Ferrari... bahahahahahaaa

Stroll did a great job handling the car after his tire blew.
WTF is up with Bottas? He could have had podium, he's half asleep. He needs to stop wanking off before the race.

[RickDaTuner]

I think Massa blocking Verstappen at the end there was out of pure spite. Lewis was lucky he didn't have room to pass, but then again; Verstappen isn't even in points contention so why risk the car.
I'm thinking Mercedes is going to put a new engine in Lewis' car. Mey be it will give vettel a chance to catch back up in the next 4 races, but then again that Ferrari might be getting a new mill too...

[tonytiger55]

I was hearing that Vettle might be reprimanded for not being present during the national anthem or something? Anyone got anymore info?
I would post but I gota run to a thanksgiving rejects dinner.

[rage2]

Reprimanded, no penalty. He's 1 reprimand away from a 10 place grid penalty.

Yeah, I don't know why he would've done that. Alonso, too :/

[ganesh]

Yeah, I don't know why he would've done that. Alonso, too :/
Needless to say Max was able to close on Lewis because of the backmarkers.
Alonso and Massa were in a dog fight as well.
