^ There were a few more F1-connects in the race, but those were the most notable.

Anyway... yikes!

What a weird end to qualifying.

At least we know they push hard.

 

[Sinner]

Tell me about it... I think Nico would have had pole too... 

50-place grid pens for McLaren... 

 

[Sinner]

Everything sucks. 

 

[Thierry Henry]

****** Raikkonen

You would think Honda is synonymous with reliability. But that's the second race in a row Button had to retire the car.

 

[Sinner]

Nah, I don't blame Kimi... it was probably a racing incident.  Wheel-spin in what was probably 4th or 5th gear was strange... probably a technical issue. 

Honda's roadcar division has nothing to do with how they're doing now.  They were probably too ambitious on the philosophy of their engine... they stated it themselves that they took an extremely aggressive approach and now it's biting them in the ace... gonna be bad before it becomes good.

That was a scary crash.

Kimi will probably be driving for another team next season.

 

[Thierry Henry]

Valteri Bottas the next great Finnish driver?

 

[Sinner]

People were sold on him in 2013!  He's likely headed towards Ferrari.

Report: Ferrari F1 team making moves to sign Bottas


Ferrari has launched a bid to secure the services of Valtteri Bottas, according to Germany's Bild newspaper.

Amid heightening speculation about Kimi Raikkonen's future at the Italian team, the report said Ferrari has made "an offer" not only to Finn Bottas, but also his current team Williams.

That is because the British team has a firm contractual "option" on Bottas' services for 2016, and is determined to keep the highly rated 25-year-old.

"It would be a pity if he leaves the team," said Williams' experienced technical boss Pat Symonds. "I know he feels very comfortable here, and he is an important part of the team."

Bild claims that Ferrari is offering to pay Williams 4 million euros ($4.48M) to release the young Finn, "but deputy boss Claire Williams is demanding much more."

The report believes Williams' counter-offer could be as much as EUR 15 million ($16.78M), which has been initially rejected by Ferrari's Maurizio Arrivabene.

But Bild said that if Bottas ultimately does go to Ferrari, the main contender to fill his place at Williams would be the team's driver of 2010, Nico Hulkenberg.

The report said Hulkenberg is not in the running at Ferrari because the Italian team would not want to pair Sebastian Vettel with a second German driver.

Ha. I have something that clips to the top of my eyeglasses and flips down for when I drive on a sunny day. Really convenient.
