Cheeky look.

for all those who didnt just c Fp3 rosberg had a huge stack right at the start of the session... and one of the espania cars is vertualy crushed with 3 mins of the session to go... neither will be qaulifing by the looks of things but the epania was inside the 107% on thusday so will more than likely start from pit lane

its fcuking depreessing to watch this now that ive been

place is magic

i am a huge f1 fan, but how is 1 ment to defend his spot, when the guy behind u is so much more aerodynamic and slightly more powered than u....

well the argument for them is that they level the playing field somewhat, in previous seasons we have seen cars struggle to pass for 10+ laps and when they finally do they are suddenly 1.5 seconds a lap quicker. that indicates that it is too hard to overtake. whether DRS and KERS is the right way about it I'm not sure. I'd rather go back to a focus on mechanical grip, restrict the aero, being back the V10s or better yet V12s and rev limit and technology limit them to keep speeds reasonable. These V8s sound horrible and if F1 moves to 4 cylinder turbo I'll stop watching. Even hearing a V10 come out on track makes the hairs on the back of the neck stand up. The V8s sound horrible even moreso now they are doing part throttle blown diffuser trickery.

big big q3 crash! wont ruin it for u ppl

[ctjet]

so after possibly the longest non commercial break amount of TV i've ever been a part of, the most uneventful quali of the year... robbed i tell you

we were up for a great session

[ctjet]

Was also nice to see the low fuel showboating by the fuzz in all three practice sessions amounted to nothing. Those sponsors getting a bit shirty?

Speaking of let downs, the only guy able to stop vettel from sending me to bed early tomrrow is rightly fcuked. Dont understand why you'd risk the one run in a place like Monaco? WDC now starting to looking all but decided

Perez is out.

Hamo was penalised for cutting the chicane in quali.

[chef_stagea]

[wolverine]

He made a slight shortcut in Q3.
