Max was great in the beginning slicing through the traffic, then a huge lull until the end of the race. 2-3 passes doesn't make a good race :/

Those non-DRS moves Seb and Verstappen pulled off were impressive. :dunno:

 

:werd:

 

Other than those though it was a bit snoozy...

Yeah.. would probably have been a straight up fight if the SC wasn't deployed right after the VSC.

Holy shit looks like Fred decided he wants to actually win something this year

 

http://www.mclaren.c...etti-autosport/

 

Amazing part is that things are in such a state that a star driver is allowed by the team to miss Monaco, just crazy.

 

 

I’m immensely excited that I’ll be racing in this year’s Indy 500, with McLaren, Honda and Andretti Autosport.

 

The Indy 500 is one of the most famous races on the global motorsport calendar, rivalled only by the Le Mans 24 Hours and the Monaco Grand Prix [which Fernando has won twice, one of those victories at the wheel of a McLaren (in 2007)], and it’s of course a regret of mine that I won’t be able to race at Monaco this year. But Monaco will be the only 2017 Grand Prix I’ll be missing, and I’ll be back in the cockpit of the McLaren-Honda MCL32 for the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal in early June.

I would bet top 5 or DNF. Don't think he'd settle for just finishing..

I don't think he'll be on the pace...I think Speedway driving is really different from what he's used to and those little tricks that most Speedway drivers know, he won't have - especially at his first race.

His odds of winning went from 16/1 to like 6/1 on Ladbrokes.

 

Haven't seen too many places actually taking bets on the Indy 500 sadly, was thinking of putting a cheeky bet on him while the odds were good.

 

I do think he has a decent shot to win, probably too late to get decent odds on him though.

Manor F1 auction is going on right now. Front wing is 250£, wheels are going for 50£ each, I think the scale car was like 500£?
These are all starting prices.

If it was final price I'd pay a couple hundred for a F1 wing

I think this season is done, time to hit the showers.

 

Hope Fred doesn't kill himself seeing Ferrari dominate the WDC without him.

It's been 10 years basically. We might have an actually competitive season maybe?
