While Vandoorne's lap was on hypers it was early on when the track was drying. Hamilton's lap was impressive, but much later on when the track had dried and rubbered in.

If wham bam vandoorne doesn't get on the podium this year you can probate me for 1m19.854s. :toxx:

Little disappointments yes, except this would be such a deathly serious and monumental life changing thing that we are going with “it was a one in 4000 shot but if you had not tried you would have had no chance and always wondered “what if””

On the other hand, if it does work, you might see your kid in a documentary staring at a metal turd with the letters honda on it, producing nothing more than a clicking noise.
And the fear and despair in her eyes will haunt you for the rest of your days.

Speaking of turds.
I remember our Labrador sneaking on a construction yard and eating some sort of insulation wire used to seal gas pipes hermetically.
It was like weird pale synthetic hairy rope and didn't digest well.
It took him a lot of forza to get it out, and when it finally did, well...

Would the #megahard tires lose you 19 seconds a race? How viable would a no-stop strategy be if it was allowed like in the 80s?

I’m sure they did simulations for this and found out it wouldn’t work.
Just like Mercedes perfectly calculated how many seconds they had during a vsc if vettel would pit.

What I find interesting is how Hulkenberg and Sainz handled that malfunction so differently.

Hulkenberg during free practise radio'd in that he is completely soaked because his pump system didn't stop feeding him water (he obviously spit it out / used his tongue or whatever to push the tube outside of his mouth)

Sainz swallowed it all during the race and then complained he's feeling sick.

Pretty easy to spot the one who was in the Red Bull camp....

Swallowing even a small amount of red bull can make you sick.

But seriously.
He probably doesn’t have the muscle strength in his tongue because a lifetime of pronouncing these weird Spanish s’es left it underdeveloped.

It's not at all uncommon for it to come out that a company's new brand ends up looking somewhat similar to a new/existing brand in a completely unrelated field. Usually these sorts of things get settled out of court/don't go to court at all because one party is a massive multi-million dollar sporting enterprise and the other party is a brand of compression socks.

3M MARKET CAP $113.5 Billion.

But you have a point. It’s hard to make anything these days that’s not similar to one of the millions of other logos out there.

And the new font wouldn’t be bad if they only used it for titles and not for massive bodies of text.
