October 30, 20187 yr Yeah, I won't say Fred has checked out, but I'm sure he's not overly bothered by things that happen at his almost-former employer these days. And jfc Ricciardo's luck, man. Max avoided crashing anyone out of the race so good for him, I guess.

October 31, 20187 yr I strongly suggest these two Dieter Rencken articles, if you haven't read them already. Not a pretty picture for anyone wanting meaningful change in F1. In this order ...

November 1, 20187 yr I haven't been paying attention, how many times this season have the Renault works cars just... you know... sort of... stopped on the track? Like keeps happening to Ricciardo? 'Cause I don't recall it happening much, but then again, I haven't been paying the most attention because... well... Renault.
November 2, 20187 yr lol. Vietnam added to F1 calendar. Big population sure, but they dont exactly have the highest spending power....
November 2, 20187 yr Are they going to race little scooters? And the scooters have to also have 2 other passengers and a crate with a chicken in it? Because that would be awesome.
November 2, 20187 yr Looks like Zandvoort might be added to the Calendar in 2020 as well. I can take or leave the idea of a Vietnamese GP, but the return of the Dutch GP would be awesome! https://www.wheels24.co.za/FormulaOne/vietnam-netherlands-step-towards-formula-1-in-2020-20181102
November 2, 20187 yr Alonso and Johnson car swap confirmed for Bahrain https://www.motorsport.com/nascar-cup/news/fernando-alonso-mclaren-jimmie-johnson/3207389/
November 2, 20187 yr Ha! "I told you not to call me at work" At least Fred's having SOME kind of fun, anyway.

Yeah, this is happening & will be announced officially early next week. Liberty needs a 'win', and with Miami not panning out so far they haven't done shit, really. And just like Bernie, they're huge whores and will go anywhere a government will shell out big bucks for 'em, like here.
November 7, 20187 yr Hanoi officially announced... Everything you need to know about the new Vietnam street circuit https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-vietnam-street-circuit.2BvFoOV82kcqi88y0mMsUU.html

November 9, 20187 yr Looks like Vettel had had something really big flying between his legs during FP2
November 10, 20187 yr Fred & McLaren back to Indy in 2019... http://www.espn.com.au/f1/story/_/id/25234652/fernando-alonso-mclaren-confirm-2019-return-indy-500
November 10, 20187 yr Is Seb on crack? And lmao at Lewis not even being investigated. What a fucking joke.
November 10, 20187 yr Is Seb on crack? And lmao at Lewis not even being investigated. What a fucking joke.Lewis did nothing wrong. Hot headed Williams passing for no reason on the wrong side. Respect the champion. [emoji16]

Not sure if serious, but just in case ... SIR had nowhere else to go. He couldn't pass him on the outside before Lewis cut over. And he wasn't on a hot lap, but he was on his out lap coming off the last corner and up the hill into his hot lap, full throttle, like they do most of the time on their out lap. And then there's the thing with Kimi, blocking him on the racing line when Kimi was on a hot lap, and all the weaving, checking and shit down the front straight ... and not even an investigation? We see people get penalized for less all the time. (and if you weren't being serious ... then ... never mind) Edited November 10, 20187 yr by wood
November 10, 20187 yr Not serious, but am a Hamilton fan. Looked like he was not watching because he wasn’t on a hot lap and no one behind him was either and then freaked when Sir came up on him...The Kimi thing was strange. Hamilton said he didn’t know which way Kimi was going. In that case shouldn’t you just hold your line??

I was amazed at no real penalty for either guy. FIA is a joke. Sooo inconsistent.

November 11, 20187 yr Obviously Ocon deserved the penalty, but it was cool to see Lewis giving Max some advice in the cool down room, telling him “you had much more to lose than he did”.

I think Max probably just thought he was clear of Ocon just like when you lap anyone else. Max didn't do anything there that we don't see 1000 times a season.
November 11, 20187 yr I think Max probably just thought he was clear of Ocon just like when you lap anyone else. Max didn't do anything there that we don't see 1000 times a season. He wasn’t lapping him, Ocon was attempting an overtake to un-lap himself, which he has the right to do, as Lewis also told Max. 2008 Lewis would’ve done what Max did here, 2018 Lewis wouldn’t have, which is why it was cool to see him say that. This is an interesting one:
November 11, 20187 yr Max was Max again. Young and full of bravado. Lewis was right - Max has everything to lose and he did. That said, Ocon was not in the points. He was 14th. Get out of the way, sit back and parade around the race track. He wasn’t going to catch anyone.
November 12, 20187 yr Might have been Max being Max, but almost anyone in the grid would have done the same thing there in Max's shoes (on the track). I like Ocon, and he has a right to unlap himself, but that was fucking stupid, which is why he got a penalty. Like Brundle said, he probably would have gotten the penalty there even if was just trying to pass for position. Edited November 12, 20187 yr by wood
