"Yo Michael your car is fucked. No worry...just hop in the spare car..." Alonso is 21st...life is just repeating itself now, damn. What the fuck is Fishicella even doing in that Bennetton? He's diagonal and not even in the start box. Motherfucker can't even reverse into the box because he'd be disqualified. Lol. Hey look a Honda being hosed down by a fire extinguisher...makes sense.

It's really a shame that Malaysia is off the calendar while we have shit like Abu Dhabi and Russia.
It's a good track and has the crazy weather wild card.

Unfortunately if people are not filling the stands, the event wont make money. If the circuit and local promoters cannot accept a loss, then it makes business sense not to hold it.

If it weren't for the fact Russia is taking place in September next year I wouldn't be able to see a international race for the first time. So I'm grateful that it's taking a year off just at the right time for my travel plans.
It will be back, and I expect they will announce shortly after this weekend's race.
Anyone going to the USGP? I'm already getting psyched for this years race. My second F1 experience here and I ended up with turn 1 tickets this time. Gonna be missing it next year though, hence the Sochi Russia GP trip.
Abu Dhabi sucks... It's just a boring race year after year.

Yeah, I'm there. Also turn 1. Don't have the tickets to hand, so I can't say exactly what bit.
You could probably fly to Malaysia and still get a ticket for race day this weekend
Ha, I live in Tokyo, so Suzuka is the one that's tempting... But I think I'll wait for next season and go to one of the European GPs with him when I'm over in Europe. Monaco? (fearfully looks at prices)

Who remembers this article:

Honda's most successful developments came not from innovation but simply from taking what works and doing it better/best. Times have changed though so I'm not sure if the same ethos is applied nor if it would be successful

What a batshit race that was. Absolutely worth a re-watch.
Also an excellent example of good old Ferrari International Assistance
Anyone wonder how Liberty are eventually going to get more than 21ish races a year which will ultimately be what they want to do? Teams complain about the staff costs and needing more etc, so I'm wondering if they'll add more races and start to put more limits on the amount of people you take to each race to keep costs down.
I'm still recovering from that season-destroying Ferrari crash. Seeing it happen with my own eyes wrecked me.
Have one guy do the entire pitstop.

I was still thinking about it even until yesterday. I thought I was pretty much over it right after it happened, because it played right into my cynicism and pessimism, when it comes to the Scuderia, but God fucking damn it. It obviously didn't help to have the Twitter and YouTube feed full of highlights and articles about the race. I couldn't even bring myself to listen to the Shift+F1 podcast.
Fucking Vettel, man.

Revising redistribution of prize money, creating a cheaper and less complex engine formula and perhaps even compressing race weekends would be several moves they could make.
Have the driver do the pitstop.
So did Max have to learn overtaking by getting past his dad? No wonder he's such a beast.What a batshit race that was. Absolutely worth a re-watch.

Anything can happen in Malaysia, too early to predict the weather there with any sort of certainty.

Very difficult to predict weather in Asia, let's wait till sunday

Remember last year folks? Ferrari's not out till the season is over.
I'll be praying for another DNF for Lewis.
It's likely to rain pretty much any day there, the question is when, for how long and in what intensity.

I'm not a fan of the track itself, but yeah, all races where it's likely to rain are welcome to stay.

I generally like Lewis Hamilton. But it'd be pretty great to see his engine blow out again this year...
It's a shame Malaysia is leaving. I get that it just eats money and needs to go. It's probably one of my favorite tracks.
It's a full official F1 race on Youtube; as a direct capture no less. If you told me this last year I wouldn't have believed you.

God bless Liberty.
I'm sure they can't wait to bump into each other at the presser.

No, just no. No no no.
Don't go there.
Also that presser, I hope they line them up Raikkonen / Verstappen / Vettel

We didn't have Murray-isms for nothing.
Guys commentary was always out of sync with reality.

That is one slick livery.

It's... beautiful! =o
Good times. Good times. Both Ferrari's off on slicks took me back, I remember having a total meltdown at that point. Then things became magical on the Ferraristone inters.
I can't post the photo, but on his Instagram he's teasing something.
The photo is him kitted up in riding gear walking towards a bike.

It'll just be some licensing deal
My thoughts exactly :lol:
the pessimist in me says even if Vettel won in Singapore, the Mercedes power would have been too much to overcome in these final races but it still fucking sucks to lose both cars at the first corner. The damage from Baku and Singapore were both self-inflicted by Vettel while I feel like Hamilton has driven quite well this year and has not really made any mistakes
sad to see such a great Ferrari design go to waste though, would not be surprised if next year is another down year. 07/08 was the last time they produced a great car in back to back seasons
This is a very nice livery.
