Looking at the attrition rate of the rest of the LMP1s, I doubt allowing them to run harder would’ve been to their benefit.

I miss the 919.

This is fascinating! I was really curious how it all worked with that many cars. I wish I’d seen this earlier to watch the live pit cam.

Grosjean isn’t the voice blaming Ericsson.

Pastor Maxverstappen

Came looking for that info too.

Oh that’s so gross. I haven’t yet gotten the guts to do a track day and hearing that isn’t going to help :(

A friend tested a Fiat 500e and texted to ask if I found the road noise to be unbearable in my Abarth. Sorry, all I’ve ever noticed is the exhaust! It hides the rattley plastic and tire noise well.

Well yeah, Gelael is their next up-and-coming driver. He’s clearly not readying for the big leagues yet. Sainz is still a Red Bull driver and can (and probably will) be called back after 2018, should Daniel leave. Extending Max’s contract gave them a leg to drop Kvyat, and I’d guess there are personality issues with…

I think Vergne is a solid driver, though I suspect there was a personality clash involved there somewhere. I’ve really been disappointed in how the Red Bull program handles the people side of things for awhile. I love so many of their drivers but the program just rubs me the wrong way.

I sound like a giddy fangirl, but Hartley to F1 is just as exciting to me as Alonso to Indy. I’m a pretty big F1 fan and I haven’t been this excited about something since they announced the return of McLaren Honda (oh how wrong we all were).

:(

I wish we could’ve heard what was going on during the intros. COTA seemed to be struggling with some of their technology.

I’m so happy for him. I know he’s a good driver but plenty of good drivers haven’t been able to hang in an F1 car and it’s been amazing to see him catch on.

I probably saw you at the race but it was the McLaren on a flatbed blipshift for me today. Shoey was my last tee (vs tank) and I hate the fit.

Gave me goosebumps. He’s already done a great job - I’m so excited he’s here this weekend!

Hurray, I made it this year! I’m already overwhelmed and I haven’t been anywhere but the grocery store.

Rosberg’s shoey at the party after he won the championship was the best.

😂 that’s awesome!

True true.
