me too
The new rule changes are not set in stone yet. They are just some things that have been agreed between the teams and need to go theough the official stages E.G FOM etc.
Toto wolfftalking about getting the tyres and fuel done within 2-3 seconds That would be absolutely incredible.
Even now, I can't help but be amazed by the quickness at which they swap the tyres. Sometimes I rewind and watch them again just to make sure they actually done the nut up

That awkward moment when GP2 cars sound better around Monaco than F1 cars
Just seen Brundle test the 18'' wheels on a GP2 car. They look awesome imo. No lap time difference although 15kg's heavier than the 13's. Visibility was difficult into corners according to him. Understandable really.

Stick to being an armchair football fan mate.
Would absolutely love it if the roles were reversed and Lewis accidentally on purpose locked up and ruined Nico's lap.

Tense that. Didnt think it was going to happen for him after his struggles in FP3 and Q2, just seemed to go away from him as soon as the SS got put on. Nailed it when it mattered though.
Lewis has properly trolled me, pole for every race except the one i went to, what a twat

I think that spoke pattern isn't very flattering but I generally approve the move to bigger rims and smaller tyres.
It will reduce the significance of the tyre variable (temp, pressures, etc) and will put more control back in to the hands of the engineers and aero guys.

What an absolute disgrace. I want to know whether Lewis wanted that stop or Mercedes-Benz demanded it.
Cunts.

Basically, max crashed, safety car came out, Merc pitted Lewis, he came out behind Vettel, then I had to go out because the missus is fucking retarded and had to watch on sky go with no volume.

The guy is a snake. No backbone whatsoever. Very calculating, but not a true racer.

You pretty much saw all that was to see.
Merc fucked up, though there may be a bit of a mitigating circumstance.
The FIA information initially indicated a virtual safety car, the VSC delta is SLOWER than the real SC delta... so if they made the decision to pit Lewis based on that, he'd probably be safe.
They seemed to change their mind and bring out the real safety car, which condemned Lewis to 3rd.
Real hard luck, he was blitzing it - but it's hardly Rosbergs' fault... though I'd be a little humble in victory in his shoes.
