I'll always back Mozzie here, it's a shame he's driving for the enemy

I back him and then his team mate sh!ts the bed... typical!

Same with Verstappen soon.....I don't wanna be an AMG fan but here we are....

As for the race....yeah it's definitely getting darker now, and I think I've seen a few spots of rain.

Well damn. And they thought they could fix it with a little tape and go on.....

Lovely race track, maybe they should upgrade it to 24h.

 

[klier]

They definitely should, but maybe racing in the dark for long is just too damn dangerous over there.

My bigger problem is with Max to be honest.... I'm not a hater, but he's got the deepest pockets and nothing to lose, he can risk muscling other cars out on every single corner and he'll still be a multiple F1 World Champion that doesn't have to worry about paying for a bent car. Pretty much none of the other guys out there can afford the same levels or risk.

I'm currently hoping to go though... though I might also be looking at Tanks in your country that weekend.

I'd love it, but I think the grid is a bit too small to flesh out 24 hours, and the current facilities are a bit too small to host bigger grids.

Or the inhabitants are annoyed of the sound, but there are only 40 according to Wikipedia.

I guess it’s no problem to put them in a hotel in Sydney.

Well I am sorry to inform you, but we don't have any.

Yeah but like Matski said, the whole thing is just not really built for that at the moment. And yeah the inhabitants are mostly kangaroos I guess, and they'll be having a funeral tomorrow.

Lol, some collectors do, and they drive them round the forest outside Overloon.

edit:

Catsburg absolutely ****s it under safety car!

Fair worries but it's not like the other drivers are paying anything themselves either.

I thought only Americans are that crazy, luckily fuel is cheap over the pond.

So it’s business as usual for them.

Most of the grid is, perhaps not in SP9 or SPX, but even then, those guys that are paid-professionals are racing for their career... Max isn't - he can Estre anybody and there's basically no consequences for him. Don't get me wrong, I love it when top level drivers do other things - it's why I like Alonso - so I'll be happy if he does well, but I fear it'll be like when Top Gear did the Britcar 24 and f#cked everything up for everyone for the lulz just because they could afford it.

Tank track links... that's where the money is like solid gold.

F***.

Red Flag... no surprise. Where were the yellows?

Thought exactly the same. The Race Control did extremely bad.

Stolz and Engel showed real skills. How they maneuvered their cars through the gap.

Yup, move of the race by Engel!

Man, T-boned at racing speed... absolutely gut wrenching everytime you see it.
