ironbut Posted June 16, 2018 Author Report Posted June 16, 2018 Attention all alonzo fans,.. Velocity channel is broadcasting the entire 24 hours of Le Mans. I guess Velocity is part of the Discovery family so most cable packages will have it. If not, you have about 7 hours to figure out how to snake it. Lots of F1 drivers this year,.. https://www.velocity.com/ 2 1 Quote
Torpedo Posted July 28, 2018 Report Posted July 28, 2018 Amazing quali in the rain. The race tomorrow could deliver some emotion Quote
ironbut Posted July 28, 2018 Author Report Posted July 28, 2018 Yup. There was no lack of drama! It's hard not to enjoy watching the reactions from Mercedes top brass. Looking forward to another exciting surprise ending? Quote
ironbut Posted August 8, 2018 Author Report Posted August 8, 2018 Speaking of drama,.. Been meaning to post something about Ricciardo's decision to make the move to Renault. Wise move? Only time can tell but it sure has supercharged the driver speculations during the summer break. Quote
Torpedo Posted August 9, 2018 Report Posted August 9, 2018 He’s probably feeling as Alonso did in McLaren when Hamilton was the favorite wonder boy. Probably not his best move to win titles, but he’ll have more peace of mind. Quote
ironbut Posted August 11, 2018 Author Report Posted August 11, 2018 The summer break might have more action than some of the races? Lance Stroll's dad buys Force India (actually he heads a group to get the team out of administration). How long could it be before Lance leaves Williams (will it be Sergio who will be looking for a drive). https://www.bbc.com/sport/formula-one/45105296 Quote
Torpedo Posted August 11, 2018 Report Posted August 11, 2018 Poor spoilt Stroll boy. I don't think any other decent pilot is going to like driving by his side, and he's not that good, so FI is facing more troubles than it already has. More or less like what it's happening to Williams. Then we have the Carlos Sainz. He's a good driver, has a lot of potential and more brains than most fast drivers at his age. He would be royally screwed if going to Red Bull to be Verstappen's sideman. I don't think that'd be acceptable for him, and going to Williams if Stroll leaves isn't a good career move either. I wonder if Williams could stay in races if Mr Daddy Stroll leaves and shuts the dough flux. Lots of drama indeed. Quote
Torpedo Posted August 15, 2018 Report Posted August 15, 2018 And now Fernando Alonso announces that he's leaving Formula 1. Probably a wise move since there's not much action outside Ferrari and Mercedes to produce a winner car. He's goal is winning the Triple Crown so he'd run the Indianapolis 500. Hopefully this means that Carlos Sainz could have his seat at McLaren. Quote
ironbut Posted August 16, 2018 Author Report Posted August 16, 2018 Wow! Can't say that the news from Fernando is much of a surprise and the smart move IMHO. Great to see Sainz land on his feet. Could be a confusing Spa! Quote
Mario_Fpolis Posted August 17, 2018 Report Posted August 17, 2018 Coulda woulda. Lots os questions to be answered. Who will be the drivers for Toro Rosso? What´s the future of William without Stroll money? Ocon - a very good driver IMHO - future? Leclerc/Raikkonen (should I stay or should I go?)/Ferrari novel. Quote
ironbut Posted July 1, 2019 Author Report Posted July 1, 2019 If any of you guys missed it, todays Austrian GP was one for the ages! So, if you've been ignoring F1 all season, take a couple of hours and watch this one. Quote
mikeymad Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 Passing in F1? Crazy... Only watched highlights (+ controversy) -- looked fun Quote
mikeymad Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 British GP!! - I was only able to watch the highlights - but man there were a lot of those... Quote
ironbut Posted July 15, 2019 Author Report Posted July 15, 2019 No lack of action in Silverstone this year (gotta love the Verstappen/Leclerc show)! Lots of encouraging progress from the mid pack teams too. Quote
Voltron Posted July 18, 2019 Report Posted July 18, 2019 I've just learned that there is a Grand Prix race around the city of Pau in formula 3 cars. That seems completely nuts and the sound can be heard clearly for many miles. Had anyone watched that before? 1 Quote
mikeymad Posted July 19, 2019 Report Posted July 19, 2019 I have watched a few F3 races - but never have been - They are just literally a lower class of the formula series. Slower - not as experienced drivers. But can see rising stars of some future f1 drivers. (Shwartzman, Daruvala, ) Quote
ironbut Posted July 29, 2019 Author Report Posted July 29, 2019 German GP- First wet race of the year was as crazy as you could hope! So far this year, there have been a couple of yawners, but it would be tough to beat the excitement of the last 3! 3 Quote
mikeymad Posted July 31, 2019 Report Posted July 31, 2019 more like a skating rink - but also some great driving. Quote
ironbut Posted September 9, 2019 Author Report Posted September 9, 2019 Monza!!! Couldn't sit down for the last 30 minutes! Lots of Alonzo sightings (whatever that means?). 2 Quote
robm321 Posted September 9, 2019 Report Posted September 9, 2019 Yeah, that was tense almost from the start. Great race. And congrats to Leclerc. Brilliant job. Quote
emelius Posted September 10, 2019 Report Posted September 10, 2019 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-people-schumacher-idUSKCN1VU25A good luck to ya, Schumi... 1 Quote
