Was it a crash? Reddit says technical issue

Spoiler: Sainz

Yes, you're right. It was

sky reporting engine trouble seems to be a problem with all Ferrari power units

duct tape to the rescue

Well sketchy, that.

Does this race have a twist to serve up? Needs something to happen, or it’s been a bit dull.

I'm on a thirty second delay, I paused it. If there is a twist I'd rather not know, yet.

Amazed the FIA is allowing it not even a lot of duct tape just a few strips

 

[dessiato]

Will Russel be told to move over?

Short of the Red Bulls blowing up i can't see it

No, no reason for him to give the place up to Hamilton.

They will have the engines turned right down, so it’s unlikely.

Mrs D, "As long as Hamilton isn't on the podium..."

Well that was dull. I picked the right weekend to miss most of the race.

Right team won though.

Engine problems for Ferrari are really bad news as that is the most expensive part of the car and with the cost cap its like a double whammy

 

[MrCurry]

And as they say in Baku: Biz hamımız ümid edirik ki, Red Bull avtomobilləri bir trilyon kiçik parıldayan komponentə çevriləcək.

The F1 engine gods clearly suffered a translation error on that one.

Lewis looked in a bad way.

Lewis was walking like me after I last played football with the kids on the beach, I've learnt now that sometimes my brain has thoughts my body can't handle

 

[MrCurry]

Lewis looked in a bad way.

Yeah - once a problem like that gets started it’s only likely to get worse. Hope he can manage to stay racing this year.

It might explain some of the “setup differences“ Toto has been referring to as reasons why Russell has been beating Lewis in some races. Maybe Lewis can’t tolerate the bouncing as well and has been limited to running a higher ride height?

Ah FUCK my whatsapp has gone crazy with friends saying they are coming to the bar, fuck Max and Red Bull they've cost me about the same as 2 weeks shopping

edit it isn't the money that pisses me off its the lose and gloating and the fact that this season its only going to get worse

I’m coming to the bar!

Only come if Lewis wins You will not be welcome if its a Sunday where Max wins

If I win the euromillions I'll foot the bill, don't you worry about that!

Anyone else watching the post race show on the F1 YouTube channel? It’s normally quite a good option for those of us without Sky, cos they seem to get most or all of the drivers in for interviews and you get to find out more about what happened in the race.

I’ve got it running on my appletv on the big telly.

Lots of Sky F1 links here

 

[MrCurry]

I reckon one red flag and two safety car episodes.

I’ll pick you as winner of the safety car lotto, since you got the no. of safety car/VSC episodes right. We’ll overlook the wrong red flag prediction

Ok guys we are out of here, catch you all next week for Canada ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
