I find it funny that they voted Alonso in 4th when none of the top teams wanted to hire him! The odd thing for me with Ferrari not taking part is that they could be admitting that they don't have the best drivers. They may not want to admit that they didn't have the best drivers but at the same time...

Really minchy? Chariots of Fire music is slow and methodical. This has build up to it, high, lows, speed, adrenaline and control. IDK if it's that I grew up on stage listening to, and singing to scores like this, but I totally get every little nuance Bryan Tyler so eloquently wrote into this piece....

minchy

The music is fine, but it just doesn't fit f1 for me. It conjured up a strange cross between the struggle of Chariots of Fire and the atmosphere of Pirates of the Caribbean in my mind!!!!

Just a quickie for any pc gamers on here who are interested - the full release of Destiny 2 (base game only, not DLC) is currently free of charge to download through battle.net until the 18th.

I thought channel 5 had the rights in the UK still until I saw this. Bit of a shame as I thought they did a decent job last season. At at the same time, glad it'll be on iPlayer cause it sometimes took days to go o to channel 5's catch up service. Regarding the helmet cam from above - I seem to reme...

I was thinking Hulk or Kmag too. Most driver are tiny little things and with similar fitness throughout the field, size matters!

(and just to be facetious - it's a battle royale, not a royal rumble

Just seen Bohemian Rhapsody - really, really good film. It took a bit of artistic license and altered some dates of events, missed some events, ignored others and toned down a lot of the drama (from what I know about Freddy and Queen history). But they told the story so well and the acting and cast...

As much as I'd love a London street race, I really can't see it happening. Formula e hasn't been back to London since it's first outing mainly because the residents complained about disruption and they didn't shut any streets down at all. Just imagine if half of central London was closed and not jus...

Ooo, this has been a really good race!

You'd have to have a heart of stone not to be willing Kimi on for one more moment in the sun. I don't get the Kimi love at all. He's never proved himself to be better than average. He couldn't consistently beat Massa. It's just a good underdog victory imo. You're a fellow Brit, you must love a good...

Not to win the championship though.
72pts with 75pts left, that's good enough.

2007? A smaller gap here, but Kimi made it back then.

PLEASE STOP SHOWING LIVE F'ING POINTS, IT'S IRRELEVANT TO THE RACE RIGHT NOW!!!!!

13 seconds and 3 cars. That's a tall order even if 1 of them is his teammate. Although I wouldn't complain at a Kimi win - it's been a while!

minchy

So many arm chair experts all in agreement! Think the internets broken!!!!!

minchy

He's gonna have to pit now to stand a chance of retaking the lead, any longer and he'll have no chance.

pokerman wrote:Hamilton seems to be going too fast if he's looking after his tyres to go to the end?

I'm assuming they'll be pitting around lap 40 and hoping to pass Kimi on track with fresher tyres. It'll make for a good climax to the race if they do.

Was it 11 for Ham and 22 for Kimi?

Double post...again! My bad, 500 errors all over

Bit harsh on Carlos there now I've seen a replay. He gained no more than any other driver that went wide on that turn, yet he's the only one to receive a penalty cause he gained a position at the next corner.

Johnson wrote:Hamilton to get some team orders again here

And why shouldn't he? He's now on a completely different strategy.

This'll be an early stop for Ham of he comes in.

Solution - watch c4 coverage! Much better coverage.

Why are they showing live points and championship standing rather than time gaps and race position?

Console gaming move from Stroll - use car in front as a brake!

How can anyone defend Vettel as a decent racer? Driver yes, he's great, but racer? He makes so many mistakes!

minchy

If they're changing to previously used pumps won't that just solve the problem? Yeah only thing is if takes too long, a post here said they were unsure if Lewis car would be ready for the grid. Although news sites/Twitter indicate that they found it after qualifying and have already done it. He's j...

I've just watched the Dallas Cowboy cheer leaders do landing splits on asphalt......ow!

So how come Ferrari are suddenly quick again when they have left the upgrade they brought to Austin unused in the pits? I think its going to be a frantic first few laps. No point in playing safe anymore so I expect a few 'prangs', Max usually makes big strides early on Ric is in the mix and Ocon ha...

He ran quite wide at turn 9 but that was it I think.

I used to love the AC series, but got bored of the games after Black Flag. Mainly due to the changes they made in game play like combat and movement, but also (and I'm probably in the minority here) in the real world aspect of the game. I miss desmond!!!!! I may eventually play Odyssey, but I still ...

Bren playing through loads of old games recently and whilst digging out all my old gamecube games, I found Eternal Darkness which I had completely forgotten existed! Don't know if anyone else here had ever played it, but it was such a good game. Kind of halfway between a survival horror and a horror...

why is quali so late? Because of the time difference. Texas is 6 hours behind the UK. But so is Mexico City. Last year, USGP qualifications were around the time of the race the following day, as it usually is at all the other venues. But this year, quali appears to be 3-1/2 hours out of sync with a...

I don't get the issue. Yes they may have tried to make the logo look like the Marlboro logo, but it isn't the Marlboro logo! Simple as that. You would have to know they are (possibly) trying to subliminally market Marlboro to see the connection. It's like the bar code they used to have in 2009/10 (c...

I'm also wondering how cutting edge these new batteries are? And as they're supplied to every team by McLaren technologies, is there any way they can transfer this tech over to f1 to be used in the hybrid PU's

Probably to give themselves plenty of tome to correct any issues and also to make sure they have decent weather as they test at Donnington UK (i think).

I wasn't overly thrilled with the 45 min races either, but even with them having a lap number with 1 hour time limit before most races lasted about 45 mins anyway! The thing you have to remember is that they still have all sessions in a single day. So for someone like me, it's good that I can watch ...

Max and Vettel can take a lesson or 2 from Ricciado, that is how you overtake! It's always "Max and.....". Vettel has made a million passes, some of them risky, some of them Alonso (if you know what I mean) and no wrecks. It is not the drivers around him that need the lesson. It is max. I know it i...

That was a mad cut back from Alonso. Looked like he scared the hell out of Stroll!!!!
