This is fantastic. It's FP1, the track isn't rubbered in and brakes are already catching fire on the Mercs. I'm going to say this is going to be a great race.

McLaren running on intermediates because they don't want to waste good tires.

They're about two steps away from doing what I do in karting and fishing tires other people have throwing away out of the garbage.

That's not a bad idea in karting, from what I heard about pfi the rich kids bin near enough brand new tyres after 12 laps.

They would here too but the local economy is based entirely around oil so I'm slapping three year old tires on or tires that you can get three laps out of. As soon as the economy turns around I'm sure I'm going to be in business.

A reminder for anyone that has lost motivation to watch the last three races, Rosberg has decided that they are a "mini championship that he wants to win". So having mind-gamed Lewis into winning the boring, lame "official" world title, the race for the "desperately trying to justify his place in F1" championship is now on. Prepare for a Rosberg vs Kimi vs Ron Dennis showdown.

Lewis needs to win the next three races to equal the most races won in a single season record held by Schumacher and vettel. I do believe Nico wishes to ruin it for him.

Meanwhile Kimi thinks they should only have a 2 day race weekend because working 3 days a week is too much effort

That actually sounds pretty cool, just not from the perspective of a small child.

Nope. Thankfully I never had to stay with the Austrian grandparents for more than a couple of days at a time.

I somehow managed to get the record. There's been a couple of times I've gotten home drunk and thrown it on for the nostalgia. I'm sure the guy next to me wants to kill me.
