Alonso on his defensive work: 'Hamilton always complains'

Bummed about Vettel being disqualified.
But that fuel sample rule is a hard line.
Both he and Alonso had fantastic drives. Ocon was superb. Great results for Williams.
Bottas should be ashamed of himself for that first corner accident. I hope it's the final nail in his Mercedes career and that they put Russell in the car.
What!!? Didn't hear about Vettel's DQ
Stewards were unable to get the mandatory 1 liter of fuel for testing after the race.
I saw two laps this morning and then went and did something a lot more exciting. Checked out interior lighting at Lowes. What a waste of motorsports F1 is to the sport of auto racing.Quote:

Look at the fucking disparity in the cars! Fucking ridiculous how far apart they are. So many teams should just exit and put their effort into something more competitive.Quote:

I forgot the part where Vettal got disqualified because he was short on a quart of fuel. Double LOL
7 red flagged races in the last 12 months, ooof. It sounds like there was a race after the restart, too bad I tuned out too.
Then here's a tip, don't watchQuote:

Agree with you on many of your points but still, an enjoyable race. Max getting gooned by Mercedes is getting old. Just racing incidents? Whatev, nice to see someone other than Hamilton get the trophy. He did drive like the wind again though.Quote:

Less disparity than pretty much anytime in F1 history at the moment.Quote:

You might also want to check the historical difference in qualifying times compared to now for any period you like.
I thought Rosberg did a great job in the booth
Clearly you haven't if you think f1 makes Indycar look like Jr Karting...get back to me when f1 drops the power steering and actually allows wheel to wheel racing.Quote:

The cars are uninspiring and too easy to drive. The F1 ethos is a complex engineering exercise juxtaposed with a Bravo Reality Show...its not a pure sport compared to Indycar, WEC, IMSA, Super Formula etc etcQuote:

Apologies if it's been discussed as I'm not in here that often, but this looks very interesting to me. Doubly so given that no one has seen him since the ski accident and the doc has his family's blessing.

are forcing all of the lower classes to suck it up and run in dismal conditions, the "big league" boys wimp out in the rain. very disappointing.
Real fans know that was a fucking incredible race that will be talked about for decades.
damn, real fans are so core.
