2017 Formula One | We're up all night to get penalties

CapitalH

NBC just had a really nice feature with Hamilton visiting NASA. He was starstruck.

I love a Buxton grid walk.

Trace17 #LiverpoolF1Fan

These grid intros are something else lol

FuturusX #LiverpoolCountry

What in the world....erm.

Why does Michael Buffer sound like he's Japanese?

MF Coom #muadib2024

I'd expect nothing less from 'merica. This is too bloody funny.

see I didn't miss a thing during dinner :P

Time for a great race, haven't seen a proper fight between Lewis and Vettel yet (lets face it Baku does not count) and add DannyRic to that mix...please.

Curious if they will all go for one stop, overtaking is possible so 2 stops might work to.

MF Coom #muadib2024

Going to need a lie down after that...

Trace17 #LiverpoolF1Fan

Thanks Matchett for telling me that this isn't the first racing lap. How else would I know? The dumbed-down explaining will be even worse since it's NBC this time. Ugh.

Crashmeister

Evening folks!
Lets hope for a cracker race!

markao

MF Coom #muadib2024

Red Bulls are looking great. RIC is hounding BOT.

Max is marching though the field quickly.

markao

Go dannyric :P

Rubmifer

GOod battle with Ric and Bottas.

markao

Crashmeister

Welp! Lewis already 2.2s ahead..

Mercedes and LH simply too fast today. Nothing Ferrari can do.

By markao Go To Post10 laps P6, not bad Max

Verstappen's goal was to finish 6th overall. He is currently in 6th in lap 10 :p

markao

Presume thats a 2 stop for DannyRic, is he going to force others in a two stop two or do they stay out ?

Rubmifer

Ric :(

markao

DannyRic Nooooooooooooooooo

engine :(

DANNNY RICCCC

Trace17 #LiverpoolF1Fan

Danny noooo. Wanted to see him on the podium with a shooey

I guess Max can easily podium now.

Shaneus

No Danny! Not like this :(

That power loss was just brutal on the replay.

Verstappen under age podium hype.

That engine is straight gone. Isn't that a new, upgraded engine?

It sounded like he was going to take a penalty in Mexico anyway, they were saying?

Yes.

baby smooth stop by Mercedes and Ferrari need to stop Kimi, Max is a second faster right now

and done :P

Which tyres will Max pick up next? Another set of SS?

digmouse #SmartWaffles

By Spengo Go To PostWhich tyres will Max pick up next? Another set of SS?

SS then U seems likely. One stop S is not entirely out of question imo.

markao

extra grip extra clean..nice Lewis

If max wants US, he needs at least 10 laps more on this set

Rubmifer

What is Mclaren going to do with Stoffel? One stopper?

Rubmifer

Alonso gonna be pissed

markao

Thats the answer softs, 10+ secs to Kimi

Poor Alonso...

MF Coom #muadib2024

Not the first time Alonso’s retired in America this year.

Shaneus

By digmouse Go To PostPoor Alonso…

Hardly unexpected though... 11 DNFs this season!

So McL off to Renault in 2018?

It was already confirmed couple weeks ago. McL using Renault in 2018, STR to use Honda instead.

markao

Max pace forces Kimi push forces Bottas to push, could get interesting last 10 laps

time for Vettel to start pushing

Perez, told you so :P

Crashmeister

Great move by Sainz!

Vini.lad #GargantuanFC

Sainz will be in Red Bull in 2019 alongside Verstappen

MF Coom #muadib2024

And Renault prove the decision to replace Slowlyon is definitely the right one.

Seb must be hearing the jaws music from Bottas.

digmouse #SmartWaffles

What is Red Bull thinking?
