I think certain "teen girls" struggle to comprehend that in this instance (and others), accidents happen in racing. Max is a reckless driver, but inventing him steering when you can see he doesn't is pretty dire.
F1 2017 Season

No one is talking about Alonso.. But he had a real loss yesterday.. Would have been a nice day for him to get some points.. Poor guy..
Reading through I cant believe the tantrum that Santi had.. I mean if u support Ferrari,surely Kimi is doing a very good job.. The first page of tantrums was funny but then it just got tedious..
Red bull seem to have a good setup right now,I wonder why they want to shift to Honda.. Considering how bad Honda have been with McLaren..

With Alonso's luck over past decade Honda will end up putting together a game changing engine just as they stopping working with McLaren and helps Red Bull win, while the new Renault engine will fail.
Good call:Hamilton at top.
Imminent Santi meltdown.
Is this a perma ban?
I've got a real soft spot for Mclaren and Alonso; and on a wet Singapore track i reckon he would have been awesome.
That start (can't call it first corner) crash robbed us of a potentially epic race as I think Alonso, Verstappen and Hamilton would have fancied their chances in those conditions and could have pushed on from their start positions.
And yeah, some of the cringe-worthy posts on this thread would shame Blue Moon let alone RAWK.
Maybe it was self-requested ban?
A cry for help perhaps.
Only a little time out he'll be back!
Hooray!
Yup.. Wet races are the best, entertainment wise.. Max would have been great yesterday.. Hamilton and Alonso just seem untouchable in the rain.. Definitely a level above the current field.. I think Suzuka would be a good should for rain again..
Totally possible.. Such a shame he hasn't had a good car for years..
Don't you worry guys, he's fine, as you can see by this recent picture of us(and other ferraristas)

Please threadban him from this thread.
I know his rants are a bit OTT, but I actually like him, when he is not ranting he post some decent stuff.
Maybe a tome out will do him good.
He is an immature child.
Yeah he can be and I have had a few run-ins with him, but he just wants to see a winning team.
Well actually he wants someone to crash into another driver so Ferrari can win.
Fascinating video showing the start and safety car procedure for Hamilton on that first lap, it seems a bit er difficult (remember no more radio comms about these things).
Amazing how fast that turn one incident happens, cant really tell how bad it is.
Yeah fair point , not his finest post, but to also be fair , he did PM to apologise.
Great watch. thanks for posting
The championship is over now in all honesty, unless Ferrari's new engine that was planned to make its debut in Malaysia has by any chance closed the gap.
Or a dnf. Hamilton had 2 last year. It happens.
Dont be so quick to write the season off, the tracks left favour both teams with Ferrari with the edge.
There is nothing wrong with the engine they have now, the crash in Singapore was a massive blow for them.
I dont think Mercedes have had a DNF so far.
Amazing video.. Never seen things like this.. The moment when Vettel spins, not even a big twitch from him.. Just a slight adjustment and keep going..
F1 and Nascar drivers and the like have the reflexes of jet pilots. It looked like the field was deliberately trying to hit the car at the beginning of the video! He must have practiced on the dodgems. The info shown at the bottom of the screen is fascinating.
Pierre Gasly will replace Daniil Kvyat at Toro Rosso from this weekend's Malaysia GP for an unspecified number of races.
Gasly is expected to land the race seat to be vacated by Renault-bound Carlos Sainz at the end of the season and Toro Rosso have decided to use the upcoming races, starting at Sepang, to evaluate Gasly in a race weekend.
Although reports have suggested Gasly will be in the car for the Malaysia and Japan double-header, the team did not confirm how many races Kvyat would be sidelined for.
"This is not a case of goodbye for our Daniil, as he still remains part of the Red Bull family,"

Kvyat has been completely outshined by Sainz this year & hasn't looked the same since they demoted him from Red Bull. Gasly will add some value to the line up next year, but i fully expect Matsushita in that car as soon as he qualifies for his super license.
tempted to replace Bottas with one of the Red Bulls, but not sure or which Red Bull to put in.
Both Merc's look pretty poor in FP2 . Ferrari and Red Bulls look much faster.
I'd put in Verstappen if I were you. Always guarenteed points. Also, have you considered Kvyat? I would if I were you
I have yes, I dont has a rule change my drivers, but need to try and grab back some points, but doubt I can.I'd put in Verstappen if I were you. Always guarenteed points. Also, have you considered Kvyat? I would if I were you
This should be a Merc race, right? Lewis should have won last year but had the failure mid race. Meanwhile Rosberg nearly got knocked out on the first lap but managed to fight back to a podium. What's changed?

It should be a Merc race , but FP was dreadful for both of them , way off the pace, now they could be sandbagging, they have dont it before. Lets see how qualifying goes.
Glad to see that common sense prevailed and the let HAAS break the curfew and get Romans car ready for FP3.
That was a massive crash due to a drain cover, it could have been very nasty.

The Malaysian Grand Prix qualifying takes places at 10 am.
interesting ! Both the Merc's running different set ups.
One running upgraded parts one not, could explane why Bottas was not good yesterday.

correct it does FP3 is on now.
I have seen this before with the Merc's , they do nothing in FP , but come qualifying they were right up there.
50% chance of rain for the race and about 40% for qualifying, but its Malaysia, it can rain anytime and when it rain OMG it rains.
