I have two favorites. Button’s master class in 2011. And in 2019 when Vettel “won”.

YES. I hold that Button win almost in the same regard I do his first race win with Honda in Hungary 2006. God I need to hop on F1TV and rewatch that Hungary race. Such an awesome moment.

And yeah, the Vettel thing will forever be hilarious

The third one that always comes to my mind when I think Canada is Kubica's crash in 07. To this day I STILL don't know how he didn't get completely fucked up from that crash. Just so amazing the way these cars are built, even back then. And think about how far they've come in safety SINCE then.

 

[MrMezger996]

Where HASNT he split his car in half?

Thought that was Monaco

 

[IDAFC21]

Thought that was Monaco

Yeah he did it there too.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Also spilt one in Jeddah. Actually the whole chassis was written off.

IDAFC21 Button is on FP1.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

SKIP FP1

Red flag thrown after Gasly lost forward motion, about 5 minutes in. At that time, or while they were recovering the car, the track's CCTV went down. So for safety issues no more action on track. Looking to extend FP2 by 30 minutes to make up for it.

[IDAFC21]

Oh shit. Huuuuuulllllkenberrrrrggggg slapped w/ a 3 place penalty for breaching red flag rules! That. SUCKS. Also hit w/ 3 place grid penalties, Sainz ( no surprise there), Tsunoda, and Canada's darling, Stroll!! Gonna be a very different grid tomorrow.

Got my DVR set for both the normal broadcast AND the Ricciardo broadcast tomorrow

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Smart “me”. I set it to record before I left town. I’ll be watching the race later tonight, a few hours after it airs.

 

[WhiteKnuckle]

I’m looking forward to the arnet/Ricardo broadcast today. DVR automatically picked it up.

 

[IDAFC21]

Well DannyRic and Arnett certainly made the race more interesting than it actually was

 

[Mook]

 

[MrMezger996]

Anyone here planning on attending COTA for F1 in Oct?

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

It’s pretty messed up but I could see them getting rid of checo even if he finishes p2. They talked a lot about that last year in DTS, possibly as made up drama but probably not. Horner and Helmut are dicks when it comes to 2nd drivers

Not sure how I feel about this, it just seems when Americans get their paws on shit the purity of it is lost. I miss the F1 from early 2000’s. Don’t get me wrong I love the extra coverage, the merchandise also. But just seems like with anything that gets popular it get lost.

I knew he was rich enough to buy then sell Mint Mobile. Didn't realize he was rich rich.
