Open wheel.
Vettel has already lost the race, bugger. He was the guy to beat, in my mind, but no power and stuck in first gear. Unless they pile up the race he will finish poorly. Now I’m watching Kimi Raikkonen, whose Ferrari will, I hope, jam it up the keisters oif the AMG monkeys.
Update 1: 18 laps in and the chicane is covered in marbles. They said the track was cold but damn.
U2: From my dear old friend and confidant Mlle Jenny, in conversation last night. “I miss the days of Jackie Stewart at Indy. Unlike the people anouncing today, he knew when to STFU.
U3: Shootout between Infinity and Mercedes. I wish they’d given Ricciardo’s car to Vettel, he’d have won this race with a car that ran, dammit. Raikkonen and Magnussen out. Bugger. No! Raikkonen is back in with new tires!
+1 re: Jackie Stewart. I also enjoyed the reporting in Road & Track. There was one writer who always commented on the toilet facilities…British guy…loved his Mustang II. Can’t remember his name…Rob, maybe?
Jackie Stewart is so cool, even today.
Didja see the difference between Helio and Hamilton? Helio cried when he came in second, then stood up and made himself available for interviews and was a kind, generous, classy guy. As opposed to that five-year old in F1, who pouted and sulked. Most unattractive.
