Verstappen made that overtake look easy!

All the Verstappen fans seemed to have missed that it was Sainz that did the difficult maneuvering to overtake, which put Palmer out of line, and caught him off guard, for Verstappen to make the easy follow

:rolleyes:

Exciting weekend. my GF's observation was that Hamilton continues to dominant qualifying but has lost his edge (nerve?) when it comes to overtaking and performing calculated risks to put himself into contention to win the actual race.

Rosberg might be in his head at this point.

Great article about Ferrari's "lost" weekend.

I - like many prognosticators - projected Haas to have a solid year. This race certainly suggests they will.

And, somewhat unrelated ...

What's sad is Honda is still in the rear -_-

I doubt it. We're one race in, Hamilton just had a shitty start, it happens. No need to take dumb risks at this point.

Although I wonder how much the new radio rules have been affecting him.

Jack Brabhams son, Gary (also a racer) is convicted of raping a child...

Quote:

Gary Brabham has been found guilty of raping a girl under the age of 12, one count of indecent treatment, and not guilty of five counts of indecent treatment.

The 1988 British Formula 3 runner-up and ’89 British F3000 champion was convicted in Brisbane District Court, Australia, after a day of deliberation by the jury.

Now 54, Brabham’s offences were said to have occurred between 2003 and ’07, when the victim was between six and 10 years old. Sentencing will take place on April 15.

Brabham is the second son of three-time Formula 1 World Champion Sir Jack Brabham, who died in May 2014.

Following his junior formula success, Brabham tried to make it in Formula 1, driving the abortive Life project in 1990, but after failing to qualify for two races, he turned to sportscars.

In 1991, Brabham teamed with his older brother Geoff, who was dominating IMSA at the time, and Derek Daly, to win the Sebring 12 Hours with Nissan. A repeat attempt in 1992 ended in retirement.

Brabham also made two CART Indy car starts, on home soil in the Surfers Paradise rounds in 1993 and ’94.

cool camera angle, gives you a different perspective

HOLY SHIT LOL

MAX VERSTAPPEN PROMOTED TO RBR

KVYAT DEMOTED TO STR

kvyat didnt do himself any favours with the way he's been driving :lol but i didn't think it would happen in season :lol

rofl Sky trying to defend Ham

you could see Nico was moving right, right after the turn, Ham just wanted to try and jump ahead of it regardless and miscalculated his space

Best race of the year incoming!

THE HYPE IS REAL

VESTAPPEN!

Grats to Maxipad, so close Kimi :(

shame they ruined Ricciardos strategy, and then he has a puncture -_-

Martin Brundle gave Kvyat props, when Kvyat told Vettel to brake if he felt scared (when Kvyat passed on the inside) and yet here with Hamilton, Brundle is saying it's unreasonable and crazy to say that Hamilton should have braked :rolleyes:

OMG those Spanish Grid Girls :sweetjesus:
