Max is such a petulant spoilt brat.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He seems to think it’s charming. It isn’t. Their strategy kept him ahead of Bottas.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Might be a cloudburst coming which could spice this up.

General thoughts. The Ferrari is utterly, epically shit.

 

[Nando]

Up there with the most boring GP of them all - dire.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's never a great circuit, very rarely do you get a good GP round here. Once Magny-Cours went it probably became the worst non-Monaco European circuit.

 

[Kenny]

Spanish race generally is. 1 maybe 2 areas to overtake and the drivers spend so much time on the track early in the year it generally becomes a race with a load of cars close together and nowhere to go. That rain was needed but even that got bored and fucked off.

As soon as Lewis got to turn 1 in the lead that was the race done. Bottas was a bag of nails though, never put a finger on Max who for half the race was in cruise control

 

[Tredman]

I thought it was oddly interesting, some decent mid-place scraps.

 

[Nando]

Some absolutely horrific shunts in the Moto GP series today. Vale is lucky to be alive.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Not sure the Champions League final really appeals so I might watch the Indy 500 tonight. Probably flick between the two.

 

[Nando]

Mega finish coming up in the 500. Four way battle.

 

[Nando]

Or not. Huge shunt and finishes under yellow.

 

[Nando]

Second Bahrain race to be run on this:

Joy.

 

[Kenny]

80+ laps. Should be under 60 seconds to complete a lap.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That won’t cause ridiculous back marker issues. No sir, not at all.

 

[PuntsWolf]

That won’t cause ridiculous back marker issues. No sir, not at all.

3 long straights though. Easy to get out the way.

 

[Nando]

Sensational stuff from Ferrari today.

 

[Nando]

Absolute carnage at the end of FP3 there. Tremendous work once again from Ferrari.

 

[The Bear]

Bad to worse for the red cars. Binotto will be getting the boot this season before too long.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Well that first run shows Merc were sandbagging. As good as a second clear of Max.

 

[Tredman]

Amazing what not being able to cheat does for Ferrari’s speeds.
