You seen Brad P on that coffee ad..

Can’t hold a candle to Cole Trickle and Rowdy in Days of Thunder. The movie was kinda like an F-1 race these days. First 5 minutes I was like Oh, this is going to be ok. Then woke up hours later and had to wake up everyone around me:bellyroll

Friday Fp2 was a challenge of how much of the walls can you remove with your car.

Each of your posts give a little more insight. I’m filing you under people I have nothing in common with. That’s not a criticism, just an observation.

Cruise playing Trickle was quite entertaining !

Heavy shower earlier on and quite windy so teams are taking their time in coming out
The top teams are waiting for the slower 'slave' cars to clean up the green track after that shower

MAX improves to second as LEW goes tumbling down, the wind is a problem for some and GAS hits the wall hurting his thumb.
MAX now tops as the dialing in turns positive for his 21 .

Yuki has work to do as he ends up 16th and should now concentrate on a race set up than a quali maybe.

Q1

Q1 : Albon hits the wall , left front wheel is damaged .

RED FLAG (!)

Charlie is very fast ....

Albon clipped his front left wheel against the wall.....stupid drivers error....and that in Q1....

During red flag stoppage, saw this sign and it reminds me of many of the absolutely rabid Max fans on bimmerpost:

ALB's mind works quicker than his Williams' potential.

Q1 : Colapinto hits the wall (!) And again the RED FLAG ..

WTF is going on ?!?!

I think It's the gusts of wind in combination with drivers pushing it beyond the limits with extreme low downforce setups.
