Button brings so much to the table, not only his knowledge of racing, which is actually genuine, but the way he ribs and jabs the other commentators Thats why he was and still is my favorite driver.

Just got done w/ FP1 and 2. So great seeing F1 cars flying around this track. Im kinda liking the ferrari's tribute color. It doesn't show up that great on TV, but its an awesome color.

And Perez being Perez.

Am I the only one that expected these cars to hit more than 195 on the front straight at Mugello

Motogp bikes go 220 at this track and they have to brake sooner and harder

 

[Stink Star]

This starting grid isn’t very inspiring that it’ll be an interesting race

More downforce probably.

True. I’m just curious how the tires will handle it, these cornering speeds are crazy

have a feeling we’re gonna see the safety car a couple times tomorrow.

Ferrari just started their 1000 gp celebration.

Definitely downforce. I was actually impressed they're touching near 200 on the straight. The fact that they can keep it flat from turn 6 all the way through 9 is just astonishing My brain can't even deal with it. And the G's they pull through there as well, crazy.

Also Russell has some giant brass marbles, when he went off into the gravel at 7 during his quali run, he didnt lift one bit. And he STILL qualified higher than his team mate

Imagine being flat out down the straight and having a motorcycle pass you going 20 mph faster...

“Ducati's Andrea Dovizioso set a new record during the Italian GP practice at Mugello in 2019 which was the highest top speed record achieved on a MotoGP bike which is 356.7 km/h(221.6 mph).”

Holy first lap fuck up!

Then it gets worse!

 

[WhiteKnuckle]

What a shit show

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

So, for the first time I'm watching the data on the F1TV.com site but the broadcast on Directv. There is like a good 10-15 second delay on the F1 site vs the satellite, which surprised me. So trying to sync the two up. Not easy.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

What a shit show

Yeah, this is going to be a long delay. But it's going to jumble up the field. If the rest of the race doesn't shit the bed it's going to be interesting for the mid-field battle.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Positions on lap 9.

Spoiler

it's like the Spa carnage from 2012, only that was in the rain. This was in the dry.

The back of the pack got on the throttle and tried to overtake before they crossed the start/finish line. Their mistake, not Bottas's.

I used to do that but it pissed me off not only for that reason, but if I had to watch the race delayed there was no way to avoid race spoilers when you log in. I’m able to watch live more now so maybe I should give it another go.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

It took a bit of back and forth but I got it within 0.25 seconds or so. I used the audio to sync it best I could, then muted the laptop. I then did a second tab, so one is showing track position in real time, the other is showing the splits. But each tab has its own audio feed, so those are out of sync by about the same time.

 

[Mr Baytchos]

Man what a shit show so far

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Yeah, I suspect it's going to get kind of boring. Asking myself if I want to finish watching the race now, or go do my yard work and come back to this later.

 

[Stink Star]

Jesus, a 2nd red flag

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Spoiler

Oh geez. At this rate, anyone not affected by attrition is going to score points.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Jesus, a 2nd red flag

Yeah, gonna go make a snack and get ready to do other shit while they clean this mess up.

 

[WhiteKnuckle]

I kinda feel bad, my wife and kids went apple picking in Indiana today. I stayed home. But at the same time, Sunday’s in the fall are the best. Windows open, formula one in the am, bears at noon. Perfect lazy day. I have a little bit of work on the car I need to do for my track day tomorrow but that’s about it.

Bottas is going to like the restart, get him closer to Hamilton.

I need to change the brake pads/rotors on the car today if my back will handle it. If not, sanding/scraping some house trim paint and applying a new coat. Then when the grass dries out I'll get that cut. Just want the race to finish so I can get started on that stuff while it is nice out.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Question, there is 13 laps left. Will Grosjean get lapped again?

I don’t know, but I guarantee he’ll be birching about something over the radio before the race is over.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Ericsson got in my way!
