Spare Parts (F1 odds and ends)

I am counting too. Hope the second half will be as entertaining as the first half and the championship goes down to the wire.

 

Sounds like the Netherlands have agreed to have the race with 67% of capacity! Hope it will be a good race and no one crashes into anyone else!!!

 

There will be lots of Booing though. Innocent provided it is not taken further.

 

From a distance, the Panis Racing overalls really do look like they say Penis Racing.

Now that would be a bizarre sport!

 

I mean, I can't even work out what sponsor this is on the TF Sport.

 

Must have won the penis racing.

 

you think he came first?

 

Looks like it could be a damp weekend in Spa with light showers forecast. Lots of questions to be answered in the second half of the season.

 

I am ready for it. Indycar has been filling the gap.... but ready to see how this pans out.

Just hope Spa doesn't get too wet. It would stink if we wait all this time to spend most of the race behind safety car.

 

It is suggesting only light showers which to me means it could also be dry, just pot luck.

 

I'd like a half n half, S1 & 3 dry, S2 wet.

 

Seems like a fair bit of chat on tv about Aston/Vettel not having enough fuel. Seems like Aston are saying the fuel vaporised due to an issue with fuel system. They say they only worked it out after the race analysing all the sensors. What I find strange is if they thought they had 1.3 litres of fuel in the car why tell Vettel to stop on track? Surely doing the cool down lap on tick over wouldn't have used 0.3 litres?
Astons statements seem to contradict themselves?
Anyone have any more info?

Thought Schumacher was going to knock Coulthard out that day.

 

I think it was a genuine misunderstanding . Can't believe DC apologised years later .

 

He did put himself in a lousy spot... Could have got out of the way a lot cleaner.

 

Nice piece about Seb...

I've disliked Seb in the past, but I'm warming to him recently.

I've disliked Lewis in the past, but I'm warning to him recently too.

I've disliked Horner in the past.

That's all.

 

I've always liked Seb, e got most of the stick during the early part of his career due to Webbers bullshit.
Lewis seems more likeable since Max arrived on the scene.
Horner, pppprrrrt

 

Vettel comes across as an absolute top bloke. The finger annoyed the hell out of me at the time, and the RBR dominance.... But now we've lived the Merc dominance for so long it barely seems like anything.

The utter shame for me is that he just doesn't seem to have the same energy he once did.

 

I disliked the Ferrari dominance but that is because I saw Michael, talented as he was, behave inappropriately. ( I won't say cheat).
RBR dominance did not impact me but I didn't like Vettel after the infamous Multi 21 incident. I warmed to Vettel in his early Ferrari years then Baku happened, then he went on to become the track clown. He seems to be half decent again now and in hindsight I am glad he stayed in the sport.
I wish Ferrari were the challengers to Merc dominance, I just can not accept Horner, which colours my view of RBR. The two seniors at RBR would be great cast as movie baddies. But in the same way that Vettel was entertaining as the track clown I suppose the baddies give us something to hate, driving emotions and thereby entertaining us. I guess that confirms F1 is more of a pantomine than a circus. The next time Totto is being interviewed and Horner is in the background I will probably find myself shouting 'he's behind you!!!'
