Gutierrez is having a bit of a strop. What's he pissed off about? (apart from being sacked?).

Driver of the day by a country mile has to be Max

Or the guy in the safety car..?

 

[Limejuice]

Seriously, that was a virtuoso performance by Max.

If he'd stayed on the right (wet) tyres he could have been fighting for the top step.

 

[1%er]

Yes that was some drive, Nico said he saw Max spin on the TV even through the rain

 

[elbows]

I'm close to being done with this sport.

Ok perhaps I will stick around and watch Verstappen

He sure could have made things easier for Lewis at the last race

 

[spitfire]

Right to the wire. Excellent.

I know.

But I think that ship has sailed.. or at least pulled up the gangplank and opened the duty-free bar.

Twelve points advantage.

I bet Lewis is thinking about that exploding engine that cost him a full 25 points.

I've learnt over the years with F1 to never say never

If Lewis can qualify on poll he can control the race in Abu Dhabi and maybe back Nico up into the Red Bulls or Ferrari's, there is always hope

I wouldn't put any money on it

Lewis is about 7/2 to win.

Nico is 2/9, though.

I think the market is calling it about right, dammit.

My old lady is crying for Massa (very emotional these Brazilians)

 

[spitfire]

Fe-Li-Pe

A decent guy from what I know, good luck to him.

Rain dance!

Seed the clouds!

Am watching a little now on C4.

When they show the 2 Merc drivers cockpit video it can be confusing because both cars have a green 6 in front of the cockpit. Why is that?

It's Petronas's logo.

 

[souljacker]

Fantastic driving from Max + championship still open. Good days racing

 

[weltweit]

Yup Max V for driver of the day!

 

[Ax^]

great recovery but why the unnecessary tire change

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

That was some incredible driving from Max. Astonishing stuff.

A future world champion methinks ..

Without a doubt. Put him in that Mercedes and see how he stacks up against Lewis. That display yesterday had echoes of Senna.

Met his dad a few times, remarkably relaxed about Tom Walkinshaw setting him on fire, seemed to consider that he was paid enough so an occasional burn-up was fine

It snowed in Dubai a few years back....

 

[Supine]

I bet rosbergs mechanics are shitting themselves about his car in the last race

I don't suppose the battery pack is made by Samsung...

 

[weltweit]

Does the Abu Dhabi track favour anyone, obviously I know Mercedes are likely to dominate but I wonder about the possibility of a Mr Verstappen pushing in and complicating things!

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

It'll be a Mercedes 1-2 barring any mechanical problems.
