Fuck you, Whinger.

Fuck you and the zero-point result for Red Bull.

 

[Ax^]

Hamilton did not merit that position. Red Bull bad luck gave him it. It wasn't earned. I'm going to sulk now.

still a position mind


just like max's WC from last year

 

[Buddy Bradley]

Wow, what a start to the season - 10 laps from the end I was starting to think about turning it off.

 

[1%er]

Get in there Lewis

 

[yardbird]

Ferrari 1 and 2

 

[spitfire]

Quite nice to see Ferrari back in the game,.

 

[spitfire]

Ferrari 1 and 2

And nice to see you too.

 

[Limejuice]

C'mon, Sky.

Get a camera team into the Red Bull garage, stat!

 

[dessiato]

At least Hamilton didn't win, an, almost, acceptable result.

Nice to see ferrari up there.

 

[Ax^]

he might not be in the garage

 

[Limejuice]

Ah, the post-race interviews.

Normally, I drift off drinkwards at this juncture.

Today, volume up to 11.

 

[dessiato]

I'm going to drink the last of my rum.

I wonder if the last Ferrari champion, Kimi, is going to lose that title this season.

 

[a_chap]

FORZA FERRARI!!!

Edited to add: Who remembers that Mansell also won the season opener in a Ferrari

 

[Sasaferrato]

Not a good race for Red Bull, sadly.

I just hope that this isn't the shape of things to come re reliability.

Well done Ferrari.

As the man on the telly just said, to finish first, first you got to finish. Lewis "merits" it by being in 5th and driving a clean race in a car that doesn't break. That's totally legit, I'd say the same for any driver.

 

[1%er]

I'm going to sulk now.

I feel your pain, over the years I've seen it happen many times. With F1 its never over until the flag comes down

 

[Limejuice]

Ted's Notebook should be interesting today.

 

[Ax^]

 

[1%er]

I'm going to enjoy the bar later, I thought I was going to get loads of stick but now I can take the piss

 

[dessiato]

I support Max, and anyone who beats Hamilton.

 

[Limejuice]

Gotta say: the Italian national anthem is wonderfully appropriate for a podium victory.

 

[Ax^]

 

[Buddy Bradley]

Really enjoyed the tyre strategy shuffling towards the end too.

 

[Buddy Bradley]

Third in the constructors, not bad!

 

[Ax^]

aye got to say liking the look of the standing today

 

[Limejuice]

I wonder what Michael Masi was doing this afternoon.

 

[Ax^]

*gets coat

 

[spitfire]

Just watching the interview with Max, sounds like his tracking needs doing, he should go and see the lads at ATS in Bow, they'll sort it out for him.

£70.

“Okay, that is TWO times I have taken it easy on the out lap and not been in front. I am never, ever doing that again!”

“Okay, that is TWO times I have taken it easy on the out lap and not been in front. I am never, ever doing that again!”

Hindsight wisdom: if Max had flayed the outlaps a bit more, he would have had to retire a couple of laps earlier.

But Ted did the analysis and suggested Max was just sounding off - the data didn't agree with him.
