Looking forward to this season 

Changes to the front wing supposed to mean more overtaking - lets see

Tyre compounds simplified 

Just sat down to watch recording of qualifying. Be interesting to see if Hamilton still dominant but Red Bull the big curiosity for me this year. Will they move forward or slip back into the pack?

Watched the Senna documentary/movie last night.

Fuckimg hell.

He knew something was going to happen, could see it in his eyes.

How on earth that weekend continued after Ratzenberger died is outrageous

Ecclestone persuading his team to carry on as well 
Barichello crashed in practice as well.

Imola soon. Gulp

Same

91 up.

I'm not a fan of motorsports, but that Lewis Hamilton is quite good isn't he.

Decent race that. Entertaining after looking like it might be a bit of a procession early on. Like the unpredictability of racing at low temperatures 

 Nurburgring and Imola need to stay for me proper racetracks 

Bottas could be forgiven for assuming his team have it in for him

He’s slightly average in an exceptional car. Imagine if Alonso or Vettel was in this Merc

Yeah me as well, previously he would have been too reckless for Merc but he’s matured now

Don’t ever dare say that Bottas looks average. Esco will come and get you...

Unlucky today but He should be getting more out of that car

Agree. There’s political and financial shenanigans around it all. Ridiculous really. The racing on these less used circuits this year has been great

Absolutely. Put Verstappen, Sainz, Perez, Ricciardo in that car and you’d see a proper fight at Merc. But that’s prob why Merc keep signing Bottas on. Keeps Hamilton as number 1 whilst he keeps racking up points for the constructors championship

I love Imola, as a kid that was the track I wanted to drive on. 

History!!

He is immense

Greatest driver to have lived simple as that. Love him or hate him (I’m not his biggest fan). 

Numbers don’t lie

He’s the best there’s been.

 

Only one record for him now. Beat Schumacher’s world titles. Go to happen next year Shirley?

Best driver and by far the best car so health permitting you would imagine it’s a done deal 

When he moved to Mercedes every pundit was saying it’s a bizarre move. It was a stroke of genius. 
 

Greatest driver to ever do it. 

News channel I was watching last night reporting on this (don’t remember the channel) just had to get the “Just had a crap!” reply from LH to his team.

Now I’d already heard they wore a pad so they could piss in their overalls but fuck me, taking a shit must be a last resort rather than “Hold on, we’re nearly there!”

Think I'd rather box for a 'shit stop'

Only saw bits of the highlights yesterday but are you not confusing this with his msg of “I have cramp”. ??
it’s been confusing me all morning since I read your post.

Or is it a joke that’s gone whooshing over my head? There is every chance of that
