Pressure is on Vettel and I think it's showing

Re: The F1 Thread
So Ive been in touch with McLaren - Im going in their simulator and then into Mission Control to watch the second practice session from Russia - they are going to show me how they capture data and make decisions live. I literally cannot f***ing believe it!

Based on their performance in second practice... they do have a lot of time to make decisionsMicky Quim wrote: ↑Sat Sep 22, 2018 8:36 amSo Ive been in touch with McLaren - Im going in their simulator and then into Mission Control to watch the second practice session from Russia - they are going to show me how they capture data and make decisions live.

Re: The F1 Thread
I asked them about it, they have given up on this season. Next years chasis was on the shop floor and that is what they are focussed on. They said the Renault engine has been brought in too quickly and they didn't have enough test data to get a good model to understand performanceoverseasTOON wrote: ↑Fri Sep 28, 2018 1:42 pmBased on their performance in second practice... they do have a lot of time to make decisionsMicky Quim wrote: ↑Sat Sep 22, 2018 8:36 am

Pretty sure they've said "we're focusing on next season" every season for the past 6 or 7 yearsMicky Quim wrote: ↑Sat Sep 29, 2018 7:27 amI asked them about it, they have given up on this season.

Wow.
Very unexpected return to F1 next season for Kvyat as he rejoins Toro Rosso... again!

Another excellent performance by McLaren and Williams in Q1.

Re: The F1 Thread
I am not a McLaren fanatic by any means but they are steeped in history and I would like to see them get back to winning ways. I used to love Hammy / Button racing together. I think they went down hill when they switched to Honda and havent recovered. So realistically that has been the last 4 years or soBodacious Benny wrote: ↑Sat Sep 29, 2018 10:27 amPretty sure they've said "we're focusing on next season" every season for the past 6 or 7 yearsMicky Quim wrote: ↑Sat Sep 29, 2018 7:27 am

Enjoying this so far! Lewis putting Seb back into his box. Verstappen smashing it!

Re: The F1 Thread
Obviously team orders are part of F1, but I don't think there was any real need to tell Bottas to move. Hamilton still would have had a comfortable championship lead if he finished second and Vettel wasn't really threatening him. The Championship is all but tied up anyway.
I'm sure Bottas will be given a few race wins as soon as the title is confirmed. I don't think Hamilton has ever won a race after securing the drivers title (i.e. when the job has been done).

Really hope that Leclerc is allowed to race Vettel next season as I'm not sure how Vettel will cope with internal pressures.

Re: The F1 Thread
Quite a good race, started well. Max was on form. Middle bit was a little boring. Good to see Hammy getting past Seb - I do think Sebs move to block Lewis was a bit dodgy but it didn't matter. Not sure the team orders were required but I can see why they did it.
Good race from Leclerc. There are some good young drivers coming through, cant wait to see what Lando Norris can do
