Formula 1 - Round 4, Russia (30th April)

[Wolfs]

This is fun? Well gotta be a stinker once and a while.

 

[happy_eagle]

I wouldn't be disappointed if this was the last ever Russian grand prix. A real boring track, bring back hockenheim or nurburgring or France please liberty media

What a shit house race. Lapping non-affected cars by 25th lap.. Bottas will lap most of the field at this rate.

 

[ptrg]

God I hate tracks that don't punish drivers for going off the track. Just such easy and safe get out of jail. Commentators bang on about how no advantage is gained going off the outside of a turn- bullshit.

The advantage is that they are on a highway with no punishment, and let them maintain full speed rather than dealing with either a wall or kitty litter..

It's still happening? Where are all these poxy people coming from? Bugger off!

Hamilton won 4-5 races last year despite going off the circuit. In the past, if nothing else, he'd have lost the lead.

Alonso appears slightly disgruntled.

F1 very lucky Ferrari are good this season. Third best team is 2 seconds a lap off the pace and closely matched cars can't overtake each other.

I do wonder what kind of racing we'd be getting if he stayed at Ferrari when vettel came

Mario Kart-esque. Alonso hurling blue shells at him.

 

[Gak Attack]

Lol commentators trying to get people to stay with this boring heap of crap.

 

[darth_timon]

So, do we think Palmer will be a world champion next year?

WEC?

 

[happy_eagle]

Vettel should get some sort of penalty for track limits on turn 3. 4 wheels off the track almost every lap

Bottas might Greg Norman this one after all

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Well it's now a question if Bottas can hang on.

Aren't they racing France this year?

Hotdog eating comp?

 

[darth_timon]

WEC?

WMKC - World Mario Kart Championship. It rewards reckless and irrational moves.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Idk if he'll win. But it's good experience for Bottas to be in contention for one.

 

[happy_eagle]

Aren't they racing France this year?

Has that been confirmed
I had heard they wanted to return to Paul riccard but wasn't sure if it was confirmed

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Of the top of my head. I can't remember Vettel ever mowing someone down to get a win. It's normally front running.

 

[darth_timon]

I think Bottas will hold on.

He mowed down Webber once so he didn't get a win

 

[Gak Attack]

I think Bottas will hold on.

Yep cars struggle too much when within a second.

 

[Chuckie357]

Just crash vettel you mug
