[Famine]

A PD test car..?

 

[DC9990]

Look at that mclaren swing!

 

[PeterJB]

What's that red SLS AMG on track?

Super Safety Car?

 

[Northstar]

What's that red SLS AMG on track?

Checking track conditions probably.

 

[ZEROX]

What's that red SLS AMG on track?

Test car i guess.

Oh, Ham car just got smash once more.

 

[harmonium]

That's almost like a 2.7 mile drain! It's really deep.

That's how the Danish commentators explained it. Racing at 250 kmph in a drain

 

[NSX>GOD]

commentary is back on the BBC HD channel

 

[GTPorsche]

A PD test car..?

We could only hope.

If it wasn't for commercials, I could see all this happen.

 

[J-PaP]

Need Kimi there now handing out some ice creams.

[ZEROX]

Oh, it's Ken Block.
Well, he'll be driving Pirelli F1 test car in August.

 

[Captain Roh]

Except in an F1 car, as above.

Technically they can. Until the car stops working and they crash. (as above)/smug

Even a slow race until everyone has fallen off or crashed would be better than this though.

I stand by my get out and run idea

Lewis insists on driving like Mr Magoo.

I laughed.

Couldn't have put it better myself 👍

 

[icelt]

Holy 🤬, what is Ken Block doing in the Merc paddock? And talking to the drivers??

I think his inspiration is a cross between Kobayashi and Ide!

 

[GTPorsche]

Most likely getting tips for when he drives the Pirelli Test Car at Monza in August.

 

[ZEROX]

Urgh, i'm hoping for a wet race but this is too much.

 

[DC9990]

Holy 🤬, what is Ken Block doing in the Merc paddock? And talking to the drivers??

I guess he's sponsored by Monster just like Mercedes?

Also what's this about Block Driving an F1 car?

 

[DwightSchrute12]

He's testing for Pirelli in Monza. Surely that's a reason.

I think you've already got it!

ROFL, that is what i thought Alonso was going to do when i saw him going over the pit wall. Might as well enjoy the afternoon even if it is raining.

 

[F1 fan]

Is that turn 2?

It's clearly turn 3 you numpty .

Hamilton saying Webber braked too early going into T1.

Why can't he just say he got on the brakes a bit too late.

Because Lewis always thinks he is in the right. Did you miss his outburst after Monaco?

Freaking heavy rain. My mind says the race won't resume.

I know. Looking bad. I hope it will, but I'd be happy with the result if it stopped.

What's that red SLS AMG on track?

I wish that was the safety car.

Super Safety Car?

Super duper safety car. Either that or someone has taken a wrong turn somewhere and is looking for somewhere to park.

 

[GTPorsche]

Well, it's more wet than race so far.

 

[dhandeh]

Not happy with rain at the moment.

Went to the I.O.W. festival this weekend, watched kings of leon, kaiser chiefs, foo Fighters and pulp on the friday and saturday. Started raining during the night,continued downpouring, so we left early, thought as a bonus I would catch the grand prix as i was due to miss it, now this!

Serves you right for going to see such 🤬 bands.

[Northstar]

Any word if Lotus made a new boat like Suzuka?

 

[ZEROX]

I think you've already got it!

Got intermidiete. Not wet.

 

[DwightSchrute12]

I don't see this race picking up ANYTIME soon.

*cue FOX daytime movie*

 

[GTPorsche]

Massive puddles at the apexes.

 

[F1 fan]

Not looking too good for the race now. Getting dark and still very wet. I'm only a few hours away in Toronto and it's a nice day here.
