[McNamara That Ghost...]

Q3 under way.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raikkonen in to the barriers, session red flagged.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Session restarts.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a farce.

So obsessed with getting the tow, most of the drivers failed to make it to the start of the lap in time.

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leclerc, Hamilton, Bottas, Vettel, Ricciardo, Hulkenberg, Sainz, Albon, Stroll, Raikkonen.

[GP]

:doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They should all get pels.

Raikkonen to be on pole. :bow:

[Globalgunner]

I hear next season theres gonna be a complete redesign of the cars including larger rims. I could never understand why the most powerful sports cars in the world run on old Mini rims.

If Vettel doesn't up his game this could be his last Ferrari contract.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leclerc on pole, Hamilton second, Vettel third. Verstappen, Bottas, Albon, Sainz, Ricciardo, Hulkenberg and Norris follow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Reverse grids talking about being tested ? Who came up with this?

I think they took what happened in the Italian GP qualifying a little too seriously.

Either that means they get rid of qualifying, qualifying would be for everyone trying to be as slow round the track as possible or they go off the Driver's Championship for who starts last.

Whoever came up with this idea needs to be put in a home.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Formation lap under way.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Every time I look up Stroll is looking like he is about to take someone else out of the race.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Radio message - Stroll
Lap 54/61

"I think there's something wrong with the car, there's a lot of damage and I feel like I'm going crash."

He did warn them I guess. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton is right on Verstappen.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Can Vettel keep his mind from falling apart at the last?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel wins for the time in over a year! Well done to him. Leclerc second, Verstappen third. Hamilton, Bottas, Albon, Norris, Gasly, Hulkenberg and Giovinazzi follow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Russian GP qualifying is on now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Session red flagged. Albon hits the wall!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leclerc still complaining. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel putting in fastest lap after fastest lap.

Ferrari bemused that he wouldn't automatically look to slow down early in the race.

[Globalgunner]

Leclerc should shut up and drive. Would he rather Hamilton overtake both of them.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Di Resta *thinks* Vettel is the quickest car on track right now.

:wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verstappen up to fifth.
