"Sometimes you just gotta lick the stamp and send it" - Daniel Ricciardo

That was a fun race

strat61caster · 04-16-2018, 02:13 PM

It was a good race, only watching the highlights I'm not sure if Ricciardo would have stood a chance if Ferrari or Merc had fresh tires, but you take 'em where you can get 'em, especially when after F3 it looked like a weekend to forget with a blown engine and only hours to change it for quali. He drove excellently and earned that victory as Verstappen threw away what should have been at least a podium. Bad day for the three 'fastest' drivers out there though, Verstappen, Vettel, and Hamilton as the "#2's" top the podium.

Also this is solid video about how close teammates are.

Chinese GP turned out to be a pretty entertaining race! I thought the camera work/directing was improved, and no commercials was nice. Audio was good as well.

Commentators still a little too chatty, imo. It's OK for there to be periods of announcer silence where we just listen to the cars!

How about Max Verstupid's unnecessarily aggressive driving and risky maneuvers? He needs to settle down.

Just before the Verstappen-Vettel incident, I commented to my wife "all we need is for Max to go torpedo mode". We couldn't believe it!!! HAHA

I'm sticking with the prediction that it takes sitting out a race due to penalties for him to settle down.

Twice now.

And how about Seb stepping in and putting boot up ass to reporters in the Baharain Post race.

Verstappen lately is looking more like the next Jean Alesi rather than the next Senna.

And if you go for a gap that no longer exists, you are Pastor Maldonado

Lol, but there needs to be an existing gap to go for. Diving for the apex without an exit strategy isn't racing.

The Verstabbings will continue until he figures that out lol.

They need to fire Verstappen, they obviously have competitive cars this year they just need to replace one of their drivers.

Spuds · 04-29-2018, 03:36 PM

SMH. Just. Wtf. Strange race. Baku must have something special in the water.

At least the fulfilment of my prediction is looking good.

NoHaveMSG · 04-29-2018, 04:33 PM

WTF Red Bull. That is something I would expect from Force India.
