F1 2019

[Limejuice]

The Mincing Horses are out.

Come on Charles

Prediction: Leclerc on pole.

 

[Badgers]

Hamilton or his car clearly out of sorts*

*so far second fastest but not been great through practice by his standards

 

[Limejuice]

Ooh, Botty's had an extra rollmop herring for breakfast.

 

[Limejuice]

It's a sad state when the only cars that Williams can qualify ahead of are non-runners.

 

[Badgers]

 

[Limejuice]

Botty really is making a point. Way ahead of Hammy.

Be surprised if he is not on pole

 

[Limejuice]

The Mercedes both did well there. Better than in practice.

Come on, Leclerc, prove me right!

 

[cybershot]

Ted’s back!

 

[Limejuice]

Ted’s back!

Ted and Karun seem to be swapping commentary and pit-lane each session.

 

[Badgers]

This is going to be close

 

[Badgers]

Botty got it

 

[Limejuice]

Great race off there.

 

[Limejuice]

Botty got it

Just as I predict...

Oh, wait...

Pierre, you snail-footed plodder

 

[Badgers]

Makes for an interesting start again tomorrow. Shame Max was not in the top four to mix it up a bit.

Red Bull and Renault best of the rest.

I met this company earlier in the year. They are already flying across the UAE so might not be too much of a stretch.

Interesting, I was perhaps too focussed on the situation in western countries. I’m sure there are plenty of places where safety rules are not quite so restrictive.

 

[MrCurry]

I really don’t see Verstappen’s point of view on this quali thing. Was Vettel meant to stay behind and be the one who ran out of time to start a lap? Seems like Vettel realised time was tight and Verstappen was napping.

 

[Limejuice]

Bleurgh.

Mornin'.

 

[Limejuice]

Those interviews on the bus are excruciating. You'd think Liberty would figure out something more informative.

 

[1%er]

Morning, we nearly stayed in the bar again but I got too pissed last night
Should be loads of overtaking today

 

[Limejuice]

I'm really enjoying the flashbacks to the first GP.

It's a reminder how fucking dangerous they were.

 

[Limejuice]

There's still no clear picture about one or two stops.

Should be a big mix-up.

 

[1%er]

No a very busy grid here in China

I think one stop would be very ambitious, I can see some mid-fielders trying it

Morning RaceFam

 

[Badgers]

Bit processional so far. Hopefully the order gets shaken up a bit or the middle of the pack start some good battles.

Come on Max

 

[Limejuice]

I wonder if we'll hear: "Hammy, Botty is faster than you..."

Come on Max

China is one of the best tracks for overtaking but for some reason it doesn't seem to be so this race.

Things could get interesting towards the end of the race as they are all pushing these hard tyres to the limit, with close racing the tyres could become a problem

 

[Limejuice]

I wonder if any of the cars with hard tyres will change for softs for the last 10 laps or so, and try to storm it.

I think around lap 40

 

[Limejuice]

Vettel in again.
