Ferrari. Plucking failure from the jaws of victory

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leclerc struggling to get past Bottas, even though he is giving him the slipstream. :ninja:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kvyat and Gasly nearly wipe each other out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton wins, Bottas second, Leclerc third.

Ferrari. :haha:

Verstappen, Albon, Sainz, Perez, Magnussen, Norris and Hulkenberg follow.

[GP]

No idea how Ferrari threw that one away.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Never dismiss Ferrari's inate ability to collapse.

[GP]

It is a constant source of entertainment.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The typhoon has knackered up qualifying at Suzuka. :lol:

Will be on at 2am BST Sunday morning now. :(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Japan Qualifying has finally started but four minutes in has been red flagged due to Kubica smashing the wall on his out lap. :doh:

Only four hours until the race so of course little time to get the car ready.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Magnussen hits the wall now!

The wind is catching them out. :lol:

Magnussen somehow gets the car back out but carbon fibre is being deposited on the track. Idiot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Q3 underway.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel on pole! Leclerc second, Bottas third. Hamilton, Verstappen, Albon, Sainz, Norris, Gasly and Grosjean follow.

Verstappen and Albon get exactly the same lap time. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I missed the first half. :lol:

Bottas leads.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leclerc crashes in to Verstappen early on.

Verstappen is out, Leclerc isn't but is pubbing it in 11th.

[Globalgunner]

Leclerc crashes in to Verstappen early on.

Verstappen is out, Leclerc isn't but is pubbing it in 11th.

Verstappen crying about Leclerc crashing into him. Doesnt see the irony

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leclerc is hitting kerbs, going on to the grass.

Also, Crofty and Kravitz must be pissed.

Croft saying Hamilton faster on the last lap than Vettel, the lap where Vettel got the fastest lap of the race.

And Kravitz said it has been a while since Hamilton won a race. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Perez out of the race!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bottas wins, well done to him. Vettel second, Hamilton third. Albon, Sainz, Leclerc, Ricciardo, Gasly, Hulkenberg and Stroll follow.

Mercedes are Constructors and WDC Champions for the sixth season in a row. :sleep:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gasly wiped Perez out. Shocking driver.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mexican GP qualifying about to start.

Hamilton can win the title, Ferrari are likely to score large though...so yes it will probably end up happening. :ninja:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Grosjean goes off the track already. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Q3 underway.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bottas crashes! Massive crash. He had really heavy breathing over the team radio.

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

[GP]

Verstappen went purple under yellow flags, wouldn't be surprised to see a penalty for that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Demoted to fourth. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mexican GP Starts at 19:10.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barrichello is there. :bow:

Albon in third. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Clean start.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton up to fourth.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verstappen ahead of Bottas!

Bottas back ahead of Verstappen!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Puncture for Verstappen.

His tyre goes off completely!

[GP]

LOL

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bottas up to sixth.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mechanics can't get Norris' front left on properly and he drives off!

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mechanics fetch the car and bring him back to put the tyre on.

Dear oh dear.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leclerc pits firstly, responding to Albon's pitstop.

Albon was held up by Sainz though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What have Alfa done to Giovinazzi's car?

Another pit stop calamity.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:haha:

It looked like the car just broke down cartoon style.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton pits.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Weird race.

Vettel and Bottas both staying out, the other cars aren't really gaining very much.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bottas now does pit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel now finally pits.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel comes out in fourth but is on much fresher tyres than Albon and Hamilton.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martin Brundle is a Tiesto fan. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leclerc makes a final stop.

His turn to have a calamity in the pits. :haha:

All the pit crews have been on the piss.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Albon pits, 1.9 pit stop for him. :wacko:

Out in fifth though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Albon has to pit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel's suspension goes. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leclerc's pit stop a very fast 7.7 seconds. :lol:

Oh Ferrari.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton says fuck your pit stop.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kubica retires from the race.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verstappen pits again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not a classic so far.

[GP]

I hate Crofty

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I have it on mute for the time being.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton pushes Bottas out off the track. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bottas passes Hamilton.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Magnussen beaches the car.

Interlagos. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Norris' garage didn't seem very happy.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Q3 underway.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexander Albarn according to Kravitz. :bow:

Damon's brother. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verstappen on pole. Vettel second, Hamilton third. Leclerc fourth though has the pelanty for an new engine. Bottas, Albon, Gasly, Grosjean, Raikkonen and Magnussen follow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I don't think Ecclestone much likes Hamilton.

[GP]

Interlagos :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Formation lap under way.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton passes Vettel!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Contact between Leclerc and Norris!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ricciardo spins Magnussen out.

Poor from Ricciardo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Five second time pelanty for Ricciardo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton pits, why Crofty thought that was Bottas given the pit radio message just before, I really don't know.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1.9 pit stop for Verstappen but then Kubica comes out to block him. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verstappen is behind Hamilton but not for long!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Crofty. :haha:

Thought Hamilton was passing Verstappen.

[GP]

Croft is a clown

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel is on mediums. :popcorn:

[Globalgunner]

Vettel is on mediums. :popcorn:

Is that a tyre that predicts the future?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How can Croft still not spot which car that is?

They have so many more screens available to us than we do.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now they do pit Hamilton again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verstappen pits now too.

Vettel leads the race on track, tough ask to keep the mediums going until the end I'd have thought.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel pits for softs.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bottas' engine is smoking up!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bottas is out of the race.

Mercedes finally have a mechanical failure.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Safety Car is out!

Huge for Vettel.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verstappen ducked in for softs, as did Leclerc.

'Lapped cars may now overtake'.

Most of the field goes past him. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verstappen passes Hamilton.

Albon ahead of both the Ferraris!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leclerc and Vettel puncture each other out!

:haha:

WTF?

Utter clowns.

[GP]

Ferrari :haha:

Always funny

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton for now, Sainz, Raikkonen, Giovinazzi, Ricciardo, Norris, Perez, Kvyat follow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gasly might be a bit happy with that. :haha:

[GP]

A pelanty for Hamilton puts Sainz on the podium!

He started last!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Driver of the last 15 minutes. :bow:

[GP]

5 sec pelanty for Hamilton, Sainz gets P3!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sainz. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Abu Dhabi GP starts at 13:10.

[Mac76]

Still trying to work out why Hamilton hints about going to Ferrari when Mercedes keep delivering him title-winning cars :blink:

[Globalgunner]

Still trying to work out why Hamilton hints about going to Ferrari when Mercedes keep delivering him title-winning cars :blink:

Hamilton is beyond titles now. It's all about the cash. I'm pretty sure Ferrari are willing to double whatever ridiculous sum Mercedes are already offering.

Vettel has tanked so badly there

[GP]

Lewis has enough money, it's all about the record now.
He's going to go where he has the best chance at no. 7 and 8.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Formation lap under way.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leclerc is ahead of Verstappen.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gasly pits as he does not have a front wing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Toro Ross can't get the front wing sorted. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leclerc only investigated for fuel declaration being inconsistent after the race. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martin Brundle just said soccer. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

DRS is dead. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bottas is up to 13th.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kubica and Giovinazzi under ivnestigation.

[McNamara That Ghost...]
