Me and my brother used to watch this VHS on repeat and the recent chat of Murray Walker in here made me want to rewatch it and some hero has posted it on YouTube!

He can’t join another F1 team until 2027 apparently. Contracted to the end of 2025 and must serve a year of gardening leave after that.

Surely if he's 65 now he'll just call it quits if by the time he can join someone else he'll be 67? Guess if he carries on it's because of the love of the sport.

They’ve said he’s going to work on their hyper car. Which is odd as everyone seems to think he’s going to Ferrari

So good no one cared who won the race

McLaren upgrades appear to be working again. Good improvement in straight line speed.

Christ Mercedes

Lando looking quick! Hopefully it translates into good race pace as well

Both mercs gone in sq2. Those wing changes are going well then

Zac really likes to stir la merde

Zak Brown says Newey is just the first domino to fall at Red Bull based on the “resumes that are flying around” and indicates it is all fallout of the “destabilizing” of the Horner investigation.

Well newey has mentioned the 'developments this season' in his interview with brundle apparently

Well the McLaren doesn’t work on the softs

Lando’s time in SQ2 on the mediums would’ve been enough for pole

Mercedes cleared of Lewis' pitstop infringement as 'everybody else was doing it too'.

Just seen this on TV and his point referring to Newey as a ‘high integrity individual’ is clearly also aimed at Horner, implying he’s not. Nice.

Hoping for some good action this weekend as it looks quite tight again, behind Max.

Aye. Likelihood is that Max is gone by the second lap, but hopefully there's some good action between the rest. Hoping that Charles gets a good start as he's generally pretty fiesty fighting for places. Might at least get a few corners of a battle for the lead. Pretty damning of how expectations have fallen that I find that prospect exciting.

Nooooo not Lando! All on Hamilton that, terrible driving.

Norris was the completely innocent victim in all that.

iamnant · « **Reply #707 on:** May 4, 2024, 05:12:00 pm »

Stewards not taking any actions is just mental.

Solid start from Danny Ric!

Annoying but not sure Norris would’ve picked up too many points from 9th anyway. Best to focus on quali later

If that SQ2 is anything to go on, decent chance of pole for him.

Cash app should keep that livery. Ferrari shouldn't.

Solid defending from Danny Ric here. Amazing how Sainz hasn't yet overtaken him.

That looked like a decent little battle with Hamilton and magnussen there, not that anyone really saw it because they used an in-car view during all of it.

Yeah, that Ferrari livery is horrible.The blue bits look like when somebody has only partially finished painting their car and some of the old colour is still on parts of it.

Does Lando EVER have a good opening lap? I swear he also loses a place or two, or something else happens.
