i know, simple things and you go from a good points position to a lap down. I'd turn the engine right down on that car now.

it was a close call when i first started watching. Canada 1997 was my first race, I settled on mclaren for the 1998 season. Forgive the glory hunting, i was 12 at the time.

I go back to Rosberg senior. Still have a soft spot for Frank's team.

I think everyone has a soft spot for Williams. It's painful seeing where they are now. It would be awesome if BMW got back involved with them.

Or the old Honda V6 or Renault V10's

we saw how mclaren going back to honda worked out.

just noticed norris is one lap down and vettel is nearly past him again. He needs a safety car in the next couple of laps.

Here's the bullshit tyre metrics on the screen again. Hmmmm

Bit dark in Shields.

2 in the eye for Shields eh?
.
When the tyres are not concrete discs, it makes things so much more interesting.
.
Shit ton of brake dust from Nico's car there....
And that has to be a flatspot too.

I don’t think it’s the engine that’s the problem...

Is it time for them to be the junior Merc team?

McLaren might object...

BMW did a lot more for williams than just the engine when they were pretty much a works team.

.
Anyone know how long the hard's last, and if they drop off much through the stint?
Otherwise, could be worth a 15 lap stint on softs for Lewis if he has a fresh set?
.
Shit, Lewis' rears are blistered! didn't expect that. Hmmmmm.
.
Riccardo is still out on the hards, guess he's hoping on a SC.

 

[anth]

right call for Norris.

This feels like a race that will absolutely come alive at the end. Been intriguing if unspectacular at times.
