John Surtees has died :(

[Niall_Quinn]

Possibly an early April Fool's prank from Force India, but apparently not.

[GP]

Did they put it through the wash with a Ferrari?

[Niall_Quinn]

The sport claimed 400 million viewers in 2016, down from a peak of 600 million in 2008. That may be partly due to a shift towards pay-TV in major markets such as the UK, Italy, France and Spain.

Good call. It's definitely possible, isn't it? Greedy fucking cuntey bastards sticking everything behind a pay wall. Maybe that's it. Maybe that's what has caused 200 million viewers to say fuck off. Just maybe.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Australian GP:

1) Lewis Hamilton 2) Sebastian Vettel 3) Valtteri Bottas 4) Kimi Raikkonen 5) Max Verstappen 6) Romain Grosjean 7) Felipe Massa 8) Carlos Sainz 9) Daniil Kvyat 10) Daniel Ricciardo.

Ricciardo crashed out. :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

New timing systems on Sky - absolute disaster. You used to be able to quickly glance at the display and get what you needed in a split second. Now it's a fucking mess. Just put it back to how it was - cunts. And your SkyGo player - fuck me. You cunts.

[Niall_Quinn]

Also - cunts. What's with the 18 fucking minute highlights package for qualifying? You cunts. So say, for example, some people don't stay up until 5am. What happened to the full highlights for those who maybe live on UK time? Eh, cunts? Problem with you guys is you are total cunts. Worst fucking highlights package I ever saw. Cunts. So what, if I don't stay up until 5am tonight and watch the race, do I only get 2 mins highlights tomorrow? Cunts?

Also C4 - you cunts. Seriously, you aren't covering the first GP of the season? What the fuck is this. Are they deliberately trying to lose viewers on these two cunt stations? I had to go to YouTube and a pirated replay to find out what happened.

In my opinion, Sky and C4 are cunts.

[Niall_Quinn]

Yes, I'm drunk. But I might be sober in the morning - but Sky will still be the most massive cunt ever since Rooney.

[Globalgunner]

Vettel wins.Yay!

[Niall_Quinn]

Vettel wins.Yay!

OMFG - Spoiler? Just sitting down to watch the start of the fucker now :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chinese GP is nearing the end of Q2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kimi fastest going in to Q3. Vettel second.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Q3 is on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton on pole, Vettel and then Bottas. Raikkonen, Ricciardo, Massa, Hulkenberg, Perez, Kvyat and Stroll follow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton won, Vettel and Verstappen on the podium. Ricciardo, Raikkonen, Bottas, Sainz, Magnussen, Perez and Ocon follow.

[GP]

Fernando Alonso will not race at Monaco.

Instead he's racing for McLaren at the Indy 500.

WTF!?

[Özim]

I reckon his days at Mclaren if not Formula 1 are numbered, what other reason can there be for missing the most prestigious GP of the season, he knows Mclaren are nowhere these days with no sign of improvements coming anytime soon.

Very odd decision though, wonder if anyone has ever done this before.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Smart guy. Wider, faster cars at Monaco this year, it's going to be a bloodbath.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Button will be racing in the Monaco GP. Well done to him.

Wonder if he'll offer his services whenever another team needs it. :lol:

Bahrain GP qualifying is on soon.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bottas on pole, Hamilton second, Vettel third. Ricciardo, Raikkonen, Verstappen, Hulkenberg, Massa, Grosjean and Palmer follow.

[Globalgunner]

Hamiliton all smiles now. If Bottas does this again, the gloves will soon come off

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Race starts at 4pm.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Formation lap under way.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel gets ahead of Hamilton!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kvyat goes miles off track.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Magnussen is out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ferrari going for the undercut with Vettel.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verstappen pits, comes out and then crashes almost immediately. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now Stroll is out and here comes the safety car!

Sainz too.

:wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton slowed Ricciardo down so will probably get a pelanty.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Safety Car is in.

Vettel leads.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

5 second pelanty for Hamilton.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

McLaren are considering Plan B.

Retire the car would be my guess.

[GP]

"Do whatever you want, mate"

:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton pits and takes his pelanty.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bottas lets Hamilton pass.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alonso retires the car. Token gesture.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel wins the Bahrain GP! Hamilton second, Bottas third. Raikkonen, Ricciardo, Massa, Perez, Grosjean, Hulkenberg and Ocon follow.

[Globalgunner]

Shaping up to be a great season.

[Niall_Quinn]

Good race that one.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zak Brown. :lol:

Give it up mate.

[Özim]

Hamilton on team orders and how he would have moved over for Bottas if the roles had been reversed, it's ironic coming from the guy who didn't let his teamate through last time when asked to do so and held him up instead.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Russian GP Qualifying on currently.

Palmer and Wehrlein crashed out at the end of Q1, in seperate incidents.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

http://i68.tinypic.com/2954978.png

:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel on pole! Raikkonen second, Bottas third. Hamilton, Ricciardo, Massa, Verstappen, Hulkenberg, Perez and Ocon follow.

[GP]

I believe

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Russian national anthem. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Formation lap under way.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alonso walks away from his car already. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bottas leads from Vettel!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Safety Car needed.

Grosjean and Palmer are out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Palmer sent Grosjean flying.

[GP]

Palmer isn't very good.

[Niall_Quinn]

Does Palmer have a driving License?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ricciardo is out, break failure.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Does Palmer have a driving License?

He borrowed Maldonado's.

[Niall_Quinn]

This track isn't really compatible with F1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This has been terrible. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raikkonen. :haha:

Thought Hamilton had been leading.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky. :lol:

For some reason projecting Raikkonen ahead of Vettel even though the latter was 27 seconds ahead before the pit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel surely has the tyre advantage over Bottas now, even though Brundle and Croft the thick shits couldn't work it out.

[Power n Glory]

Vettel is on his ass.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel finally in the DRS zone.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Massa fucked it.

[Power n Glory]

Massa needs a punch in the face!

[Niall_Quinn]

Massa should be disqualified for that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bottas wins his first GP, well done to him. Vettel second, Raikkonen third. Hamilto, Verstappen, Perez, ocon, Hulkenberg, Massa and Sainz follow.

[GP]

Well done to Bottas!

[Power n Glory]

Great for Bottas and kept his cool but Massa ruined that moment.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kimi is sat there thinking how come Lewis isn't in this room with us?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Putin. :haha:

[GP]

That translator :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

WENGER OUT!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spanish GP qualifying is on now.

Seems like everybody has brought upgrades so presumably not much changes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It seemed Vettel's car had lost power but he told his pit crew to STFU and it started working again soon after.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Q3 underway soon.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton on pole, Vettel second, Bottas third. Raikkonen, Verstappen, Ricciardo, Alonso, Perez, Massa and Ocon follow

[GP]

ALonso P7? :lol:

How?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maldonado is there. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Formation lap under way.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel leads!

Chaos behind. :haha:

Raikkonen is out, one of the Red Bulls went off roading.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kimi's car well and truly borked.

The front left. :lol:

Still not seen a replay of what happened yet though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bottas is the one that wiped Raikkonen and Verstappen out.

Maldonado in disguise?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky somehow painting a positive light on Hamiton losing over a second a lap to Vettel.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bottas had been holding Vettel up allowing Hamilton to cut the gap by four but he is past Bottas now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vandoorne. :doh:

Virtual Safety Car deployed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton goes off track with Vettel. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bottas is out!

Engine failure. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton leads, for now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton wins, Vettel second, Ricciardo third. Perez, Ocon, Hulkenberg, Wehrlein, Sainz, Kvyat and Grosjean follow.

[Niall_Quinn]

I swear, Wenger must manage Ferrari.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fucking yanks. They just talk total unrelated shite all the way through the Indy coverage. Donuts and bagels is what they are on about right now.

[Niall_Quinn]

These Indy guys are a little bit crazy.

But we'll be reminded on Sunday how crazy the F1 guys are too when they fly around that Monaco track.

And a Cup final.

With Arsenal :pray: :ilt:

Quite a weekend of sport.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monaco GP:

Button has a 15 place grid pelanty. :haha:

[Globalgunner]

watching FP3.
Okon just crashed...This monaco circuit is murder...Those in car shots are mindblowing

Okon`s steering actually broke......Incredible!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton won't make Q3 currently. :o

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vandoorne hits the wall. Hamilton out of Q2!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raikkonen on pole! Well done to him. Vettel and Bottas, then Verstappen, Ricciardo, Sainz, Grosjean, Perez, Button and Vandoorne with a smashed up car.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Formation lap under way.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Button to Alonso: "I'm going to pee in your seat." :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hulk is out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel now leads!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Safety Car out.

Wehrlein's car on its side. :yikes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Button is out too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Button took him out, didn't listen to Alonso on looking after his car.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ericsson crashes, behind the Safety Car.

Fucking hell. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now Vandoorne is out. What a mess.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kvyat out now. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel wins, well done to him. Raikkenon second, Ricciardo third. Bottas, Verstappen, Sainz, Hamilton, Grosjean, Massa and Magnussen follow.

[GP]

Alonso going well at Indy.

[Niall_Quinn]

The crashes in this thing - lethal.

[GP]

Huge wreck. Red flag.

[GP]

https://streamable.com/wwvyy

[GP]

Both drivers are okay.

[GP]

3/4 distance. Max Chilton is leading :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Turned into a bit of a stock car rally. Still good fun though.

[GP]

Far too long spent behind the safety car.

[Niall_Quinn]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Qualifying for the Canadian GP is on now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wehrlein goes on to the grass and out he goes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Q3 coming to a close.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton on pole, Vettel second, Bottas third. Raikkonen, Verstappen, Ricciardo, Massa, Perez, Ocon and Hulkenberg follow.

[GP]

Lewis Hamilton now has as many pole positions as Ayrton Senna and Bruno Senna combined.

Some record.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Formation lap under way.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kvyat can't start his car. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verstappen up to second. :wacko:

Sainz crashes out! Safety Car.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel lost a bit of front wing, has to pit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verstappen is out. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Vestappen ruins the whole race and then retires. Nice day's work.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kvyat's pit stop. :haha:

What a mess. Trying to put three different types of tyres on it seems.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel in 4th.

Alonso out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton wins, Bottas second, Ricciardo third. Vettel, Perez, Ocon, Raikkonen, Hulkenberg, Stroll and Grosjean follow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sir Patrick Stewart. :bow:

What a man.

[GP]

Patrick Stewart is great :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Damn the number of advert breaks on Eurosport. WTF? Greedy cunts.

[Niall_Quinn]

Le Mans is just mind blowing.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fucking Eurosport. For each minute of coverage I reckon 59 seconds are adverts, 0.99999999 seconds are slow-mos of the pit crews picking their noses and everything else is pure action.

[Niall_Quinn]

LOL - most extensive coverage so far, for a safety car period. Safety car coming in now so adverts I guess.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Formation lap under way for the Azakaban GP.

Also, impressive flag dress from the woman who sang the national anthem.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raikkonen and Bottas hit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bottas has to adhere to the blue flags. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kvyat crashes out. Useless.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Safety Car out.

Everybody in to the pits. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verstappen's car is knackered again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Safety Car back out before one completed lap without it. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Both Force India's collide.

Hamilton slowed down behind the SC, Vettel went in to the back of him.

Massa was trying to get ahead of Vettel.

Kimi has a puncture and now a fucked up car.

Mental.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Safety Car again.

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Red flag. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raikkonen is somehow back out. :lol:

Perez too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Back on with the Safety Car.

Massa could be on for the race victory depending what punishments occur. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ricciardo up to third. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hulkenberg is out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Massa has to retire.

Me. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton has to pit to fix his head rest.

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gaffa tape at the ready. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

10 second stop/go pelanty for Vettel. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel comes back out ahead of Hamilton.

Drive through pelanty for Raikkonen. :haha:

And Perez.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ericsson and Wehrlein collide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Perez is now out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raikkonen retires, again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ricciardo wins, well done to him, though fuck knows how that happened. Bottas takes second on the line from Stroll! Then comes Vettel, Hamilton, Ocon, Magnussen, Sainz, Alonso and Wehrlein.

Mental.

[GP]

Vettel got away with that. Should have been disqualified.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Here's a message for Charlie...

[Niall_Quinn]

Vettel got away with that. Should have been disqualified.

Vettel was at fault for the second incident, but Hamilton always brake tests the car behind on restarts. He's been doing it for years and has never been pulled up for it. His comments on the radio after the 10 second ban for Vettel were pathetic. In reality it was a 30 second ban which should have been enough tp put him out of the reckoning. But Mercedes fucked up Hamilton's headrest, and that's not Vettel's fault.

[GP]

Stewards examined Hamilton's car data in Vettel incident. Did not brake or lift off completely. Maintained more or less constant speed. It's 100% on Vettel.

[Globalgunner]

True but Hamilton is not easy to love either. Imagine him telling the team to ask Bottas to slow down and back Vettel into him for the overtake. He doesnt care about anyone else. Its always about him. He might not have slowed down but he is always being a berk.

[GP]

Imagine him telling the team to ask Bottas to slow down and back Vettel into him for the overtake.

I'm trying to but that didn't really happen. He asked if Bottas wasn't fighting anyone could he back up Vettel.

[Globalgunner]

I'm trying to but that didn't really happen. He asked if Bottas wasn't fighting anyone could he back up Vettel.

Same thing, with a positive spin. If he managed to get ahead of Vettel in that situation. Next thing would be to ask Bottas to allow him pass. Bottas was in 3rd or 4th at that time with obviously slower cars ahead. Why would he want to slow down?

[GP]

He wouldn't have asked bottas to allow him to pass. He's doesn't have a habit of that.

[Niall_Quinn]

Stewards examined Hamilton's car data in Vettel incident. Did not brake or lift off completely. Maintained more or less constant speed. It's 100% on Vettel.

What does, didn't lift off completely, mean? He didn't come to a complete stop? That was nice of him.

[GP]

What does, didn't lift off completely, mean? He didn't come to a complete stop? That was nice of him.

It means just that. Nothing out of the ordinary. The lead car sets the pace up until the SC line.

[Niall_Quinn]

It means just that. Nothing out of the ordinary. The lead car sets the pace up until the SC line.

Nonsense. Hamilton almost came to a stop on the track and there was a huge gap to the safety car. Like I said before, he does it all the time and gets away with it all the time.

[GP]

You're wrong. Read the rules for SC restarts.

[Niall_Quinn]

You're wrong. Read the rules for SC restarts.

The rules state, Drivers must not drive unnecessarily slowly, erratically or in a manner that could be deemed potentially dangerous to other competitors. Hamilton does this all the timer under safety car conditions and on formation laps. On some occasions I've seen him slow the pack to almost a complete stop. On this occasion he feinted to start and then dramatically reduced speed. He should have received a penalty for that, but it's Mercedes. Vettel then barged into him, deliberately, and received a stop go penalty and 3 points. So for Hamilton to then get on the radio and complain says a lot about the bloke.

[Globalgunner]

He wouldn't have asked bottas to allow him to pass. He's doesn't have a habit of that.

You are obviously a fan but not a keen follower. He does it often. he believes Bottas is there only to assist him win the title. No one has told Bottas that.
A decent bloke would not have asked Bottas to do anything.

[GP]

No, wrong.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I think the telemetry data is missing the point to a certain degree really, does it account for Vettel having Perez as close to him as Hamilton was to Vettel pre-alleged brake testing? That is to say If Vettel backs off then doesn't Perez crash in to him - on and on down the line?

Isn't there a responsibility from the lead driver to ensure ample room? 'Controlling the pace' doesn't give you the right to act however you wish.

Vettel going full Maldonado wasn't on but he's essentially one big fuck up away from a ban anyway now, to say he got off scot free like Hamilton did just plainly isn't true. It's not his fault Hamilton's head rest went wonky.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Q3 for Austria well under way.

Hamilton has a 5 place grid pelanty for a gearbox change.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bottas on pole, Vettel second, Hamilton third, Raikkonen, Ricciardo, Verstappen, Grosjean, Perez, Ocon and Sainz follow.

Grosjean stuck on the track, Verstappen beaches the car. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Formation lap under way. Hamilton going on a different tyre strategy.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verstappen spins out! There were quite a bit of contact I think.

I think he is back in now though.

Raikkonen loses places. Hamilton up to sixth.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verstappen's car is fucked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verstappen and Alonso are both out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel saying Bottas jump started. No idea.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kvyat is useless.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Drive through pelanty for Kvyat. He'll probably crash in to the pit crew there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raikkonen has a failed C50. :unsure:

[Globalgunner]

Formula 1 starts are stupid. They should release the cars at 3 or 5 sec intervals in reverse of qualification order, or in some random order and use GPS data to determine who is really where. All that effort and you are out in 10 secs through no fault of your own. To compensate they should award championship points for qualification places. 22 points for 1st place and 1 points for coming last.

No way. The start is the most exciting part. Don't mess with it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brundle still thinks Hamilton is at McLaren.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Magnussen's car has gone.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

'Fuck this'. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'd have said to Hamilton, yes, for brake testing.

[GP]

Brundle still thinks Hamilton is at McLaren.

Brundle is starting to go a bit Murray Walker.

More than once he's mentioned Jan Magnussen and Jos Verstappen.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bottas has lost five seconds to Vettel.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kimi going rallying again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Blistered tyres for many of them.

An explosion before the end?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel is right on Bottas.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Perez fucking it up for Vettel.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton so close to passing Ricciardo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bottas wins, Vettel second, Raikkonen third. Hamilton, Raikkonen, Grosjean, Perez, Ocan, Massa and Stroll follow.

[Globalgunner]

Happy with that. Enough of this Hamilton is God B.S. He is no Senna, not even Nelson Piquet.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ricciardo is going to be deathly ill if he keeps drinking out of his shoes. :sick:

[Niall_Quinn]

Perez is a fucking cock. Second time this year he's stuck his arse into the middle of a fight for the finish. Cunt. When's he going to get a penalty?

Kvyat, just a drive through for being a total, utter dickhead at the start? Takes out two cars, doesn't even get a stop and go? WTF?

Hamilton :haha: The guy is such a dick. Moaning about his shitty car, as he sets the lap record :haha:

Well done Bottas. Nice to see somebody who isn't a total twat doing well.

[Globalgunner]

Its pretty obvious that the powers that be in F1 prefer the chaos otherwise they would stop this car crash TV

[GP]

https://i.redd.it/q5usxjwbmi9z.png

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He has got rid of it already. :lol:

Five place grid pelanties for Bottas and Ricciardo.

Vettel's recent heel turn should get the required boos this weekend.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Q1 red flagged.

Ricciardo is out. That's one way of making the grid penalty redundant I guess.

[GP]

Alonso P1 :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel giving a message to Charlie again.

Agent Perez fucking him over, again. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton under investigation for blocking Grosjean.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton on pole unless he drops down, Raikkonen second, Vettel third. Bottas fourth, Verstappen, Hulkenberg, Perez, Ocon, Vandoorne and Grosjean follow.

Bottas will drop down to ninth of course.

[GP]

Does Vettel ever stop crying? Bored of it now.

[Niall_Quinn]

Mercedes really are the Man Utd of F1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brundle is ill.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Formation lap under way

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Extra formation lap.

Palmer is out, car died on the initial formation. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel is smoking.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verstappen ahead of Vettel.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sainz is out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kvyat involved. :o

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kvyat just wiped Sainz out, his teammate, that is.

Sack him FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Drive through penalty for Kvyat, joining the track unsafely.

[Niall_Quinn]

Yay - stewards have suddenly remembered they have a job to do.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel and Verstappen going at it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel going for the undercut on Verstappen.

It should work really.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And unsurprisingly Vettel gets ahead of Verstappen.

Crap pit stop from Red Bull.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ferrari doing tactics. WTF?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How has Vettel only ended up five seconds behind Raikkonen? :unsure:

[Niall_Quinn]

Shitbag just about manages to get out ahead of Bottas.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bottas passes Vettel.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bottas up past Kimi. His car is dying.

[Niall_Quinn]

Charlie Whiting's team 1 & 2 :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now Vettel's tyre has gone.

[Niall_Quinn]

Really unlucky for Kimi. He was faster than Vettel today.

[Niall_Quinn]

Mercedes plays their Satan card.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton wins, Bottas second, Raikkonen third. Verstappen, Ricciardo, Hulkenberg, Vettel, Ocon, Perez and Massa follow.

This track is a dinosaur.

[Niall_Quinn]

Kidding? This track is great. Not the track's fault if Charlie Whiting was throwing nails at the cars.

[Niall_Quinn]

Bottas easily driver of the day, but we all know who they'll give it to.

Great effort from Ricciardo too.

[GP]

Vettel :lol:

Unlucky

[Niall_Quinn]

Hamilton still pretending he had blistering :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Half the season gone. One point in it.
