True, tactics still played a part yet the drivers still trusted their gut instinct.

Pretty crazy re Rossi, no denying his status within the sport as an absolute legend. As far as Stoner goes.. I just can't follow his movements at all. Any idea where he could go next?

Ah yes Canada :d Any bets on who will end up in the wall this year? I can see a Mercedes in there, no idea which one though. I don't even know why, pure gut feeling.

knowing Mercedes they will drive each other into the wall:lol:

As much as I still watch F1 - just as the newer cars of today driver skill is being taken away by electronics.
As you say, gut instinct is not a player anymore.

As for CS, no doubt he will have a testing gig somewhere, to date he was still clocking faster times while testing the duke compared to Dovi and Iannone (when he keeps upright lol)....
I'll ask my bro if he hears of anything being he's amongst the cycling hierarchy here.

Look forward to Canada - some great races over the years, I watched a Alan Jones winning in his TAG Williams back in the day x 2 in Canada :)

Good call :lol:

lol thank you, honestly i can see Verstappy crashing there and maybe Vettel i am not sure why, i dont know why i randomly thought of this but does anyone know the year Hamilton and Massa kept running into each other? i thought it was 2013

i would love to see the cars more difficult to drive but that is just my opinion its a difficult balance

more proof that Montoya is a tool

Daniel got 4th, pretty happy with that and at 11 there is indycar

does anyone watch FIM speedway?

also just curious what people think Hamilton vs Rosberg who has the edge mentally? imo both are not exactly as strong mentally as they should be

screw red bull i have had enough of their shit

Lol please they did nothing but get unlucky with Danny

yes pitting him too late so he spends the entire race behind kimi is luck and not strategy and screwing up the pit stop again is just pure luck its not like the pit crew were not able to do their job oh wait they didnt do their job

i am excited for the next race it looks extremely interesting circuit wise

Edited by swarth: 13/6/2016 03:42:52 PM

Motor Racing, in terms of strategy and being in the right place at the right time, is almost all luck. Remember the great Murrayism? If is F1 backwards.

But i cant wait to see Baku either, how about portable road on the cobblestone streets?!

maybe i am being harsh and they were unlucky, the pit stop mistake might have cost Dan 1 stop max but it might have affected nothing i just feel he deserves a better sunday than he has gotten for a while.

i have only seen a few pictures but it looks like there is a castle right next to the circuit, i honestly dont know what to make of it because i never expected to see anything like it in formula one, it even looks weird just by looking at the map of the circuit, usually i dont pay much attention to practice but i am watching every session just so i can take in how odd the circuit seems to be

Edited by swarth: 14/6/2016 09:29:47 AM

there is actual elevation on the circuit how will formula one drivers cope

Dan unlucky to get stuck behind Rosberg after the first corner debacle, can sense his frustration building without a doubt.

Not many tracks these days with some nice elevations... Spa? And some subtle undulations on Suzuka and Nurburgring, what else?

Austria, Monaco, Austin, um.... That's all off the top of my head. Oh and Brazil.

Daniel Ricciardo's virtual lap of the new baku circuit. Dont think the RB's will have a good time at this new circuit.

a more correct statement has never been made, i couldnt believe how fast they lost their tyres compared to other teams

Edited by swarth: 20/6/2016 01:11:19 AM

Horner blaming their low downforce strategy/setup. They didn't really have a choice tbh, the RB chassis excels at mid and high speed corners but at a place like Baku they never stood a chance

Exactly! Surprised they managed 4th (I'm accounting for Perez not needing the gearbox change and Hamilton not crashing) in qualifying. I suppose, they probably could put everything into one lap and get that result quite easily, but over a race distance on that track, with the car they have at the moment, easy to see them drop off the pace so much during the race as well.

it was not the best race, Jack Miller won in Moto Gp, Will Power on pole at Road America which i think is a great circuit i would love to see formula one there

Honda really like Jack Miller, no matter how you get a win you take it with both hands.
Onya mate - hope this gives you the confidence you needed to mount a better challenge next season.

haha, good on them taking the punt !

So yeah, this gives me ultimate satisfaction. It's worth sitting through all 20 minutes. Not quite as fast as the bikes, but fuck me this is quick. Apparently he smashed the record around IoMTT for a car.

Hell of a video, just goes to show how insane those bike riders are.

Austrian GP in 4 days, early weather forecasts predicting rain all weekend

Hells. Yes.
