F1 Official Thread - Grand Prix of Britain

[Thierry Henry]

I couldn't watch the GP because of work, but I finally got to catch the Monaco GP and

what a ******g race!!!

Props to Britney for the win, Lewis messed up could have had 2nd place. **** Red Bull


Qualis for Canadian GP is on right now, almost missed it


Edit- @ Valteri Bottas qualifying in 3rd

 

[flashout01]

i doubt the Mercs qualifying pace can be sustained throughout the race. its been like that for the past few races. even in Monaco, i wasn't that sold about the win just because its the easiest place to control a race specially if you're in the front.

BOTTAS!!!

But it'll be a VERY interesting race tomorrow if the conditions are as mixed as they were today.
Interesting to see how the rest of the field deals with their inters cuz most used all 3 sets during quali.

at McLaren.

 

[zk1mpls]

most probably will be skipping this race due to time zone issues. Have work in the morning.

Bottas

 

[Sinner]

Every picture of the race I've seen, I see that bloody finger. >:

 

[Thierry Henry]

Might as well give Mr. Finger the championship right now >:

 @ RBR still complaining

I couldn't watch the race due to work. But what were they complaining about?

RBR has been complaining about the Pirelli tires this whole time, saying how dangerous they are and that they don't last.  But yet, Lotus and a few other teams don't seem to be having the same problems.  Meanwhile, they continued to perform really well during some races, especially in Canada.

Murray Walker: F1 commentator diagnosed with cancer

"They've caught it incredibly early. It's treatable, the doctors say my condition is mild and I'm very hopeful,"

 At least it's treatable. 

 

[zk1mpls]

anybody watching the Le Mans 24 Hours? 1 Hour left and there's a lot of chaos.

@SkySportsNews: Red Bull's Mark Webber to leave Formula 1 at the end of the season. More now on #ssn

 

[zk1mpls]

Good for Mark. Was definitely one of my favorite drivers on the grid. Best of luck to him in the LMP1 class. Hope he does a McNish and does well in the WEC. Heck, even Anthony Davidson and other ex-F1 drivers are doing well there.

 

[Sinner]

Kimi-Seb.

 

[Sinner]

Zzzzz... for FP1...

But Massa... again!!!

 

[Sinner]

Lewis... 

 

[zk1mpls]

Missed out on Q2 and Q3... damn cable company! >:

 

[kdawg]

What is going on? Tacks on the track?

Massa's back end looks trashed. Hamilton got away with it - but lost about a lap.

 

[kdawg]

And another one! Pirelli are toast.

 

[Sinner]

Damn, those tires... but that last stint was 

...

 

[zk1mpls]

Tyre failures everywhere. What a grand prix to forget for Pirelli. And to think they were on the Medium sets, too. :x

The final 6 or so laps, though.

Seb retiring Practically negated Alonso's Malaysian GP retirement.

Podiums noticeably seem happier when Seb isn't around.

 

[Sinner]

Even Seb's biggest fans have to admit that he has been incredibly fortunate during his career (thus far anyway).

 

[zk1mpls]

Yeah. Safety cars definitely played a crucial part in his last WDC title. He's insanely quick, though. Just needs to fix his attitude.
