D U L L

F1 and Merc's little agreement to carve things up seems to have destroyed the whole sport. But at least there's the money.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fell asleep. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Fell asleep. :lol:

I was watching it with my son and he's still excited by the whole thing so I play along. But I did suggest we try to find a DVD of a complete 80s or 90s season and watch the drivers battle the cars and do the refuelling and fight through the rain storms and all that marvellous suff. And I suggested he watch Fangio wrestle his car through Monza hell so he can see what a real F1 driver looks like.

We need the corporations out of this shit now and homemade teams like Williams - who just got raped - back at the forefront. James Hunt is rolling in his grave, but he'd do that anyway because he's coked up.

Are we not allowed one outlet for manly pursuits? Just the one?

On the other hand, I thought the marshals did very well with the crash today. No red flag. No emergency UN committee meeting. Keep the cars rolling, get the race started one lap after clearing the track. Good stuff. It was almost like the days of real F1 had returned.

Seems like Belgium, of all places, did their best to host a F1 event but F1 wasn't up to the invitation. Somehow, after the most overtakes in the season last year, F1 managed to damp it down to a non-event. It's what they do.

Get some men back into the sport. Proper men.

[GP]

Claire Williams will step down after the Italian GP.

The Williams family will no longer be involved in the Williams F1 team.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel out in Q1 for the Italian GP.

[Globalgunner]

Ferrari are a national disgrace. Lucky for them COVID prevents the TIFOSI chucking tomatoes into the pit garage. They are garbage

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Even so I'd be amazed if Binotto gets out of there without being stabbed on his buttock (not a euphemism).

[GP]

From 2021 Renault F1 will re-brand as Alpine F1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Formation lap under way.

[GP]

Formation lap is under way

[McNamara That Ghost...]

McLaren are second and third!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel says fuck your blocks. :haha:

Hope he can stop the car properly, brake failure. :yikes:

[GP]

Ferrari :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Global makes a good point, the Tifosi probably be storming the track in protest, at least in the before times.

Abject.

How was Arrivabene given the boot and Binotto hasn't been? :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel crashing through those blocks is going to be a meme forever.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

10 second stop/go pelanty for Giovinazzi and presumably for Hamilton too.

Race red flagged!

[GP]

10 second stop go pelanty for Hamilton!

:haha:

That's a big fuckup from Mercedes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The Ferrari car nearly killed someone, that is someone other than Vettel or Leclerc.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

10 second stop go pelanty for Hamilton!

:haha:

That's a big fuckup from Mercedes.

Especially as they're all bunched up at the start.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wow look at the tyre from Leclerc's car, STILL smoking!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Norris investigated for driving unnecessarily slowly in the pits. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]
