Annabella Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Was a procession, but good stuff from Valterri, held his nerve well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 The start was good followed by boredom till near the end. Congrats to VB on getting his first win, hope he and SV can make it a 3 horse championship but with a bit more going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conorj Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I was glad to see Bottas get his first win, but was a pretty uneventful race overall as usual at Sochi. Another brake issue causing retirement at red bull, although big upgrade to the car planned for Spain apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_GT Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Perez came through with a 14th consecutive points finish. I would say why did the idiots at Mclaren get rid of him after only one season, but looking at where Mclaren are now I bet Perez doesn't care one bit.

johnny g Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Why do people care so much about Alonso? Because he's arguably the most complete driver on the grid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annabella Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Just the second part of qualifying tonight Dunk, it's the top 9 from yesterday qualifying for pole. The actual race is next weekend - don't half drag it out. Yes Bordais's was a bit hectic, good damping in the walls though now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an hour before the top 9 started so i watched Inspector George Gently A good job done by Alonso and i really appreciate the skill lapping at 230 mph but i can't watch this race as its only a matter of time before it goes tits up big time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annabella Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 You can just see when the downforce changes when following/lapping a slower car the front end is going to become very twitchy at 220-230mph, which in turn will make your back end very twitchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annabella Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Royal screw up by merc and Ham, fancy leaving it till end without a banker already in at 10 min stage. School boy error. Kimster looked well on it, great laps from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimster looked well on it, great laps from him. Dont think it would have made any difference as it looks like they got something wrong with the set up which they can't change once qually starts Unless they get permission to change the car he could be somewhat screwed in the race as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
