Watched the highlights. These giant cars look absolutely retarded trying to maneuver around those tight city streets in the rain

I was waiting for a comment like this. And you’re 100% correct. They should run Karts instead, or those little things the Shriners zip around in, including the fez hats.

Kids kids kids... you're slipping! Spanish Grand Prix at Barceloña-Cataluna this weekend.

Central Time Zone (CDT)

oh damn.

Formula E commentator Nicholls sacked over "inappropriate behaviour"

www.motorsport.com

Wonder if he got a little too friendly w/ co-host Nicki Shields

 

[MrMezger996]

Correct me if I’m wrong.

FIA’s end goal is to be 100% electric by 2030?

If so. By going all electric. Will FIA get rid of a shifting transmission too? That would suck if that’s the case. Go all electric with a manual trans. That would be entertaining.

No way, don’t believe that. There is already Formula E and draws zero interest.

 

[IDAFC21]

and draws zero interest.

.......I kinda like it

FP1 and 2 watched. Pretty much a big test session for all the stuff they couldnt test in Imola. Could be some rain on saturday and sunday tho!

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

I’m just finishing FP2 now. Fucking Nico Rosboring on the Sky feed. Listened to that for all of three seconds.

Spoiler: Qualifying Spoilers

Watched qualifying this AM while half asleep. Can't remember jack shit, so going to watch it again while eating lunch.

 

[guspech750]

Last weekend was quite entertaining. So far so good today.

 

[IDAFC21]

Well that was a fun quali. Lotta weirdness going on, lotta people gonna be out of position tomorrow.

I freaking love Alonso

Spoiler

Reporting that blocking incident on his team radio when Gasly blocked Verstappen. NOT because he was looking out for Verstappen, but he knew that if Gasly was penalized, he'd possibly start behind Alonso in the race And he will!! After blocking Sainz AND Max he's been handed a 6 place penalty and will start directly behind Alonso now

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

This race is fucking boring

This race is fucking boring

 

[MrMezger996]

This race is fucking boring

Depends who you were watching. But I know what ur saying.

 

[IDAFC21]

Well aside from Max, there was actually a lot going on in this race

I mean where did the Mercs come from? And as much as Russell tried to screw himself over several times this weekend (including the installation lap ) he actually had a stellar drive this race. That first lap from him was phenomenal

"lets try and keep it within the white lines ok?" "Yeah Yeah"


Poor Norris.

 

[Mr Baytchos]

Watching the 30 minute recap of this race on F1 TV and this is awesome. It's like red zone for formula 1. Highlights all the passing and pits that matter. Seemed like an exciting race lol

 

[guspech750]

Finally watched the race. Not bad. It was entertaining. I was hoping Perez would have made it to third. I can’t help but keep watching Hass. Maybe I’m wrong but at times it’s like watching the three stooges.

Ricciardo and Arnett to host F1 telecasts on ESPN

Daniel Ricciardo and Will Arnett will host an alternate telecast on ESPN2 during next weekend's Canadian Grand Prix.

[IDAFC21]

wtf mate

ANYTHING to get me away from Rosberg.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

I know it's early in the week, but Canadian GP this weekend.

I might actually tune in to the ESPN2 broadcast for Ricciardo and Arnett's broadcast, to see how they do.

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

Anyone else kind of surprised they still go to Canada, it’s like a nothing country doesn’t really seem worth making a trip over the pond for. If they could combine it with the US trips that would make sense, but they can’t because it’s too far north.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

I like it cause it is a fast track, and the Wall of Champions. I do think it is silly that they don't just do all of North/South America at the same time. Wastes a lot of resources coming back to the same area four times (COTA, Miami, Vegas, Canada). But I do see that they need to fit it into the tracks' schedules, and not many people want to be in Miami and Austin in the middle of summer. Make them night races!!!

 

[IDAFC21]

I've always loved Canada. There's been a lot of amazing (and frightening) moments there over the years.

 

[Stink Star]

Yea Canada is usually a good race. Was it last year that mick split his car in half there?

 

[IDAFC21]

Where HASNT he split his car in half?
