GP you must be a big F1 fan, who do you want to win the title? I'm glad to see a Brit up there, but Max Verstappen must start coming into contentions soon. he's has some good races, he has youth, but a lot of experience now.

As a McLaren fan, an Alonso win would be nice.

More realistically, Hamilton is the best driver by a margin. If the Merc is as good as last year, he should win it again.

Verstappen has speed, but a hot head. He needs to calm himself before he can start winning consistently.

Verstappen will be maturing each season, he will be a force to be reckoned with - I reckon.

[Niall_Quinn]

The sport's ruined, like everything else. Hijacked by queers.

[LDG]

The cars look shit this year

[Globalgunner]

Halo is crap. A canopy would have been much better

[Globalgunner]

That Red Bull is a special one off livery. Different colors for the real thing.

[GP]

Halo is crap. A canopy would have been much better

You can't have a canopy in case of a roll-over.

[Globalgunner]

You can't have a canopy in case of a roll-over.n

More like a windshield. Open top. They tried one out but Vettel said it gave him headaches. No one asked if he had been drinking that day though. Besides these things can be engineered to open automatically once the car is airborne. Mercedes already have something similar in their open coupes. As soon as the car is airborne the roll over hoop erects in milliseconds

[Niall_Quinn]

You can't have a canopy in case of a roll-over.

You can't have a canopy because F1 is open cockpit, open wheel racing.

This is all a pile of complete fucking bullshit. I hope the cunts who are ruining this sport get cancer and die.

I have followed this sport since I was a kid and loved every minute of it, until the last few seasons.

Past racers like Hunt and Senna and Moss would just laugh at this bullshit, but most "modern" cunts just accept it because they are led by the nose into anything and everything that destroys tradition and history and the essence of everything that brought us to this point. It's all about the money now. Pure bullshit.

These halos are fucking dreadful. All because of one incident that is unlikely ever to happen again. At least that's the justification. Like I said - bullshit. F1 is a sport fo petrolheads and action freaks.

There needs to be a reckoning. Enough of this now. We'll all be bouncing around the place in cotton wool cocoons if these crazy fucks keep getting their way.

[Niall_Quinn]

Btw, Schumacher's in a coma because he fell off his skis. Where's the new regulations for skiing? Fucking amateurs are allowed to strap on skis and fuck themselves up in all sorts of ways. But the best of the best professional racers can't take a few risks? It's like demonic inversion - the lunatics have taken over.

How is Schumie doing btw - any updates?

[Letters]

Swift :lol:

:p

It goes to 0-60...eventually <_<

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Qualifying for the Australian GP starts in five minutes. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I don't mind the new dashboard layout, the F1 logo is bollocks though.

Good that it shows which turn each driver is at.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Part of the Halo bar is in their eyeline, I'd have thought something that distracts the driver is more likely to cause accidents than help prevent serious injuries.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel fastest at the end of Q2.

Alonso, Vandoorne, Perez, Stroll and Ocon drop out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Q3 begins. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bottas crashes out!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Session is red flagged. Not suprising, Bottas is right in the middle of the track along with a lot of debris. :lol:

He's alive! Halo. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The session is back underway.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton on pole. Raikkonen, Vettel, Verstappen, Ricciardo, Magnussen, Grosjean, Hulkenberg, Sainz and maybe Bottas follow.

Ricciardo has a three place grid pelanty.

[Niall_Quinn]

Very unexpected outcome and the halo looks just great, especially from the cockpit view.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Formation lap under way.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Magnussen ahead of Verstappen. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sirotkin is out! Williams has just conked out, six laps in to the season. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ericsson is out now also.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verstappen with a little bit spin, down in 8th now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raikkonen pits. Wonder if it gives Vettel the overcut. :ninja:

Probably not as he was three seconds behind but I have to try and entertain myself somehow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sainz goes off roading.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Magnussen's car has given it up. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Grosjean is out now too!

:doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel pits under a VSC. :haha:

Smart.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel takes the lead!

Sky. :haha:

Saying that Vettel had nothing to challenge Raikkonen with.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Full Safety Car out now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Safety Car in this lap.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton declares he is going to go for it, immediately fucks it up. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton gives up the chase by the looks of it.

Crofty says Hamilton looking to attack Vettel seconds before. :rolleyes:

[Globalgunner]

Vettel has it in the bag i think.
Hamilton will not be so cocky anymore, im sure

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Crofty now asking if you should be able to gain an advantage pitting under VSC. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel wins! Congrats to him, Hamilton second, Raikkonen third. Ricciardo, Alonso, Verstappen, Hulkenberg, Bottas, Vandoorne and Sainz follow.

Halo era. :bow:

Always rated it tbf.

[Globalgunner]

If the rest of the season is half as good as this opener. It will be vintage.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brundle and Croft are little bit bitter.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton was robbed says Brundle. :haha:

[Globalgunner]

Brundle and Croft are little bit bitter.

Raikkonen was the biggest loser after Hamilton of course. Irony is neither of them did anything wrong.

[GP]

That was a snooze.

Verstappen :pal:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Toto Wolff says it was a computer glitch to blame.

Agent Malware. :bow:

[Globalgunner]

Toto Wolff says it was a computer glitch to blame.

Agent Malware. :bow:

Nah it was the Russians.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bahrain qualifying is on at the moment.

Hamilton will have a 5 place grid pelanty with a gearbox change.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Q3 is underway.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel went wide on his lap and Hamilton still couldn't get ahead.

[GP]

Verstappen binned it in Q1

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel on pole! Congrats to him, Raikkonen and Bottas follow. Hamilton, Ricciardo, Gasly, Magnussen, Hulkenberg, Ocon and Sainz follow up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Formation lap under way.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bottas ahead of Raikkonen!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verstappen passes Hamilton with contact, Verstappen has a puncture though. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ricciardo is out!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verstappen has only just made it to the pits. :lol:

[GP]

Red Bull :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton up to sixth, taking three cars at one corner.

Verstappen is out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

10 second stop/go pelanty for Hartley.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

In comes Vettel.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bottas going for one stop? I still wouldn't trust Pirelli.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel passes Hamilton.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Grosjean and Magnussen. :lol:

:handbags:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Balls up in the pits for Raikkonen. Mechanic taken out by Raikkonen's car.

Raikkonen is now out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not all the tyres were changed, Kimi went off and ploughed in to the mechanic. :sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They're changing to a one stop for Vettel it would seem now.

[GP]

Not all the tyres were changed, Kimi went off and ploughed in to the mechanic. :sick:

That is a broken leg :sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Massive lock-up for Bottas.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That is a broken leg :sick:

And probably more than that as he was tossed aside.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel will be a sitting duck for Bottas you'd think.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel wins! Incredible effort with tyres from Lap 18. Bottas second, Hamilton third.

Gasly, Magnussen, Hulkenberg, Alonso, Vandoorne, Ericsson and Ocon follow.

Honda power beats McLaren. :haha:

[Globalgunner]

Mclaren are cursed.
Ron Dennis put the hex on them before he left

[GP]

https://streamable.com/vndze

Yes, Lewis, he is :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Decent race relatively speaking.

That halo is going to end up getting a driver killed though. They can't get out of the cars without a major struggle. Stupidest "safety" device ever?

[Globalgunner]

I predict very soon tire changes will be done by automated robots like those in car factories that can do flawless changes in 0.005 seconds

[Niall_Quinn]

Monaco and Russia trying to get the grid girls ban overturned. Seems Hamilton agrees with them, considering he tweeted out an image of ample breasted grid girls in a row and his imaginative tagline of "Thank you Jesus!" - I suppose he'll be in major trouble for being male again. Hot on the heels of that nasty incident where he suggested it was wrong for boys to wear dresses.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Q3 is underway for qualifying in China.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel gets pole right at the end. Congrats to him. Raikkonen second, Bottas, Hamilton half a second down. Versteppen, Ricciardo, Hulkenberg, Perez, Sainz and Grosjean follow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kimi has gone down the field again on the first lap.

Vettel, Bottas, Verstappen, Raikkonen, Hamilton, Ricciardo as it stands.

[Globalgunner]

Vettel, shafted Kimi from the off. Completely destabilised his teammate. Typical

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verstappen pits for mediums, Ricciado also.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bottas comes out ahead of Vettel!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raikkonen pits, great strategy from Ferrari. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leclerc nearly beaches the car.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gasley spins his teammate Hartley around. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Safety Car out.

Ferrari knew what would happen. :unsure:

Verstappen and Ricciardo takes this opporunity to pit on softs.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ricciardo passes Raikkonen.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verstappen fucks it up. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ricciardo passes Hamilton!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verstappen passes Hamilton.

Mercedes and Ferrari are sitting ducks with the harder tyres on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ricciardo passes Vettel.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verstappen hits Vettel!

Verstappen. :haha:

Fucking mental.

[GP]

Verstappen is an idiot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ricciardo takes the lead!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

10 second time pelanty for Verstappen.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel is racing on banana peels I think. Bottas too.

Raikkonen's tyres are knackered and they're 7 laps fresher. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alonso passes Vettel. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ricciardo wins! Congrats to him. Bottas second, Raikkonen third. Hamilton, Verstappen, Hulkenberg, Alonso, Vettel, Sainz and Magnussen follow.

[Globalgunner]

There is some weed in the Red Bull they drink in that team. But I like it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Azerbaijan qualifying is on at 2pm BST I think.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raikkonen gets stuck somewhere. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Q3 underway. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel on pole! Kimi blew it on sector 3. Hamilton second, Bottas third. Ricciardo, Verstappen, Raikkonen, Ocon, Perez, Hulkenberg (has a 5 place grid pelanty to come) and Sainz follow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel has herpes. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Azerbaijan national anthem. :bow:

:crying:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Formation lap under way.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Front wing for one of the Force Indias's has gone flying.

Now Kimi and Ocon collide! Sirotkin out also!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Safety Car out. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Safety Car is in this lap.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verstappen just gets ahead of Ricciardo, Sainz now ahead of Ricciardo too!

Raikkonen down in 12th now. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verstappen cut a corner.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sainz passes Verstappen, Hulkenberg ahead of Ricciardo!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hulkenberg passes Verstappen!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hulkenberg tags the wall and is out, what a disaster.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Red Bulls touch!

Multi 21 Max, Multi 21.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raikkonen ahead of Stroll, up to 8th.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

DRS detction inactive at the first sector I think. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton forgets to turn at Turn 1. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton pits for the softs.

Says it all about Bottas that Hamilton veers way off the track and he still wasn't anywhere near to overtake him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verstappen ahead of Ricciardo, going at each other again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Time to pit Vettel I'd think.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Vettel does indeed pit, Bottas leads for now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ricciardo passes Verstappen!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Although in fairness to Bottas, some stint still on the supersofts. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verstappen pits and comes back out ahead of Ricciardo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ricciardo takes Verstappen and himself out!

That has been likely all race long!

Newey and Horner. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Big chance for Bottas to win now though.

[GP]

That's what happens when you weave in a braking zone.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel pits also!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verstappen is just a knob.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Horner er interview. :popcorn:

No comments until he has spoken to both drivers.

[GP]

Horner :lol:

[GP]

Verstappen is just a knob.

He is.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Grosjean has crashed under the safety car! :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Medical car deployed?

[GP]

Did Grosjean blame Ericcson? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fucking Ericsson is everywhere.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Safety Car is coming in to bring about a four lap race.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel briefly has the lead but locks up and is fourth!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Puncture for Bottas!

Perez ahead of Vettel, Vettel will drop down the field probably.

[GP]

Hamilton has absolutely fluked into this one!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton wins. :lol: Raikkonen second, Perez third. Vetel, Sainz, Leclerc, Stroll, Alonso, Vandoorne and Hartley follow.

[GP]

Hamilton's hair :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Why is Grosjean allowed to race still? Or Verstappen? They should both be suspended for constantly wrecking races. It's not supposed to be demolition derby.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ericsson ruined that race.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[Niall_Quinn]

I just hope the human race retains opposable thumbs at least.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stroll crashes in Q1. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Q3 if halfway through.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton has pole, Bottas second. Vettel third. Raikkonen, Verstappen, Ricciardo, Magnussen, Alonso, Sainz and Grosjean follow.

Odd session with some choosing to use the softs rather than supersofts.

[GP]

Stroll crashes in Q1. :rolleyes:

Both Williams drivers are utter shit.

[Xhaka Can’t]

So are the sisters

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nobody singing the Spanish national anthem there. :haha:

Although in seriousness, is it really good idea blaring that out in Catalyuna? Ah there's the Catalan anthem too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

80% chance of rain. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Formation lap under way. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel gets ahead of Bottas!

Grosjean crashes out. :haha:

Hulkenberg crashes too, safety car out!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Grosjean keeps his foot on the throttle for some reason? Berk.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Safety Car coming in this lap.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's like pushing a glass down the bar out there. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Five second time pelanty for Vandoorne.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

In comes Vettel.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raikkonen's car is struggling by the sounds of it, both Red Bull's ahead of him now and everybody else.

Kimi has to retire.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I really don't think Sky should be talking strategy with Horner during the race, how is that fair?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ocon is out!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ferrari pitting behind the VSC!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And then he gets a slow pit so comes out back behind Verstappen. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Front wing damage for Verstappen. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vandoorne retires.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ferrari clearly didn't like the idea of track position. Weirdos.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton wins and it wasn't close. Bottas second, Verstappen third. Vettel, Ricciardo, Magnussen, Sainz, Alonso, Perez and Leclerc follow.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ferrari clearly didn't like the idea of track position. Weirdos.

Three seasons fucking up their drivers in so many imaginative ways. That's consistency for you.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verstappen crashes out in P3 at Monaco.

[Niall_Quinn]

Verstappen crashes out in P3 at Monaco.

Handy to get that out of the way before he ruins another race.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ricciardo on pole, by a long way. Top in all six sessions so far, therefore I am sure Red Bull engineers will install square tyres on his car tomorrow or something.

Vettel second, Hamilton third Raikkonen, Borras, Ocon, Alonso, Sainz, Perez and Gasly follow.

[Niall_Quinn]

Great stuff from Ricciardo and Vettel. Crazy bastards.

[Globalgunner]

Grid girls...and boys....
Next grid grandma`s and intersex models?

[GP]

Grid Squids

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Formation lap under way.

Sirotkin doesn't have tyres which is a bit of an issue.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

10 second stop/go pelanty for Sirotkin. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stroll damages his front wing. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton pits.

[Globalgunner]

Razzamatazz aside, A thoroghly boring circuit. Always a chance that Max could cause a 10 car pile up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sirotkin under investigation for his crew working on his car during the pel. :lol:

Fairly sure they just showed him a clock though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel now pits.

[Globalgunner]

Sirotkin under investigation for his crew working on his car during the pel. :lol:

Some chap blowing the car with a fan. Surely thats not touching?
Its been dropped

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Some chap blowing the car with a fan. Surely thats not touching?

It isn't, no further action needed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ricciardo pits.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ricciardo struggling to get the tyres up to temperature but he somehow gained three seconds on the stops so I am not sure it really matters.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tyre fuck up for Perez.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ricciardo's car is conking out!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel's tyres are shot.

Anybody doing anything on the race are on the supersofts, particularly Bottas.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gasly goes flying.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alonso has to retire, VAR to trigger the pits?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No VAR needed. Shame.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leclerc crashes in to Hartley! Here come the safety cars?

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Karius :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

VSC out but the leaders has gone past the pits.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ricciardo wins, well done to him. Vettel second, Hamilton third. Raikkonen, Bottas, Ocon, Gasly, Hulkenberg, Verstappen and Sainz follow.


The tyres going off a cliff way more than they're supposed to did for any real changes.

[Globalgunner]

Boring. They need to do something about this track. DRS zones are not viable. I hear they want to extend Monaco into the harbour. They had better plan an extension of the grand prix too.

[Niall_Quinn]

Absurd spectacle. The race was decided by the first corner because overtaking is impossible. Why the fuck don't they shave off that chicane by the swimming pool? We've just watched a soul crushing procession yet many F1 fans will be looking down their noses as today's Indy500. The latter would have to see all the cars break down on the starting line to be more boring than Monaco. Sort it out you stupid cunts. FFS, what's happened to the average IQ on this planet?

Talking of which, just how poor does Sky coverage have to get before something is done about it? The commentators are doing the same shit as football pundits now, trying to make boring shit seem interesting. All through the race they were making up nonsense to pretend something might happen in the race. And they were screaming their heads off as the cars crawled over the line in the same fucking order they started the race, having witnessed a 78 lap procession. Who are they trying to kid? F1 fans are a bit smarter than that. Which is probably why most of them want those fucking halos consigned to the bin and some proper fucking engines stuck in the cars.

And the Sky tech team. Holy fuck! Incompetent doesn't even begin to describe it. Radio messages that can't be heard, or are constantly talked over. Captions that bear no relation to what's happening on the screen. Absolute fucking info overload with the graphics while managing to miss the key information that actually helps you. Long winded interludes from boring frogs who mumble in indecipherable drones. And if anything ever does happen in a race, the cunts cut to the pits to show the most irrelevant shit they can find.

F1 needs to be rescued from these know nothing fucks.

[Niall_Quinn]

Boring. They need to do something about this track. DRS zones are not viable. I hear they want to extend Monaco into the harbour. They had better plan an extension of the grand prix too.

One night with a road crew and a steamroller, job done. They only need to alter about 25 yards of the track. A fucking moron can see it.

Hopefully a fucking moron will be hired to help these absolute dipshits figure it out.

[Niall_Quinn]

Indy500 just about to kick off.

Available online at BT Sport where they have that video window that can either be microscopic or full screen but nothing in-between.

Probably avoid for the next few minutes as they are doing the God bit. At the same time they glorify their "defence" forces. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Canadian Qualifying is on now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Loads of cars backing off getting in the way of Vettel's lap. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel has nailed it so far in Q3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel on pole! Went even faster. Bottas second, Verstappen third. Hamilton, Raikkonen, Ricciardo, Hulkenberg, Ocon, Sainz and Perez follow.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

:lol:

[GP]

He's not wrong.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Formation lap under way!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Contact between Bottas and Verstappen but nothing bad happens for them.

Stroll crashes out and takes Hartley with him though! Massive crash.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great drifting from Perez.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton behind Verstappen and Ricciardo after their first round of pits.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel got a problem? Time is dropping between he and Bottas significantly.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh just another lock up. Think they have to pit him now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel still puts in a fastest lap somehow. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raikkonen comes out behind Hamilton.

Nice analysis Kravitz. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel finally pits, as did Bottas just before.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Croft is a tit.

[GP]

David Croft is a tit.

Yep, he's dreadful.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raikkonen should be doing a lot more given how fresher his tyres are in comparison to Hamilton's and indeed Ricciardo's.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Waving the chequered flag too early, poor back markers. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel wins and it wasn't really close. He regains the Championship lead by a point. Bottas second, Verstappen third. Ricciardo, Hamilton, Raikkonen, Hulkenberg, Sainz, Ocon and Leclerc follow.

That was bloody awful.

[GP]

Zzz

[GP]

Fernando Alonso wins the 24 Hours of Le Mans!

Buemi and Nakajima also driving.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This is a wind up right?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/44565763

[GP]

Probably, but I approve.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

French GP qualifying on, in to Q2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Q3 under way!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Grosjean crashes, session red flagged.

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

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

[Goonermerree]

Is there always a Grand Prix in France?

[GP]

No, this is the first one for a while.

The last one was in 2008. The last one at this particular (awful) circuit was in 1990.

[Goonermerree]

No, this is the first one for a while.

The last one was in 2008. The last one at this particular (awful) circuit was in 1990.

I thought it didn't seem familiar.

[Globalgunner]

Im sure its just a coincidence that this particular circuit is owned by Bernie Ecclestone

[GP]

Im sure its just a coincidence that this particular circuit is owned by Bernie Ecclestone

Probably, Bernie isn't involved anymore.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Formation lap under way.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Crash involving Bottas and Vettel!

Load of cars off track too!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ocon is out.

Safety Car is out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gasly out too.

Puncture for Bottas, Vettel's tyre is sparking as his front wing has died.

[Globalgunner]

F1 starting needs a rethink. This is madness,

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel and Bottas battling it out down at 17th and 18th. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ricciardo up to third.

Vettel in 11th already. :lol:
