Poll: French Grand Prix 2019, Paul Ricard - Race 8/21

[CaptainRAVE]

Norris wasn't forced off, he was forced wide, with the off possibly resulting from the car problems.

Forced off, forced wide. Same result. By a car that had been off track!

 

[CaptainRAVE]

The most random trophy!

 

[KiNgPiN83]

That was pretty boring to be fair. Still, only a year and a half until the new regs come in to shake it up!

 

[Terminal_Boy]

But he pushed one car off the track and then overtook another while off the track himself

That is NOT in any way fair racing

That looked very iffy. At least one count of gaining an advantage for Ricciardo.

4/10 boring

 

[wesley]

what new regs?

 

[timmeh]

Yes, yes they should. Norris was forced off (that or he risked a collision) and 3 cars went passed as a result.

Meh, a bit of roughing up is fine

4/10 boring

As high as that? I was thinking I was being generous with a 2

Pit radio for Norris post race.

"Mate, I think you need to hold your head up really high here. You drove absolutely awesomely the whole weekend from P1 to Qualifying you did a fantastic job, and in the race you did a great job too. I'll explain the problem later, but you drove really well mate."

"Yeah, I got it, i know. Just disappointed because we could have been much better you know, so, apart from that. Good job all weekend it's been a good one. Thanks to all you guys and everyone back in the factory. Yeah, lets keep fighting to the next one."

"Exactly. We've proved out point. We'll keep fighting, we'll go get them in Austria"

"By the way, I think Riccardo rejoined the track fairly unsafely. But er, when he went by, he went off the track, came back on and (unintelligible)"

"Yeah, they're replaying it on TV now. And Lando, you've been given Driver of the Day mate, Driver of the day.

"Yeah. Thanks guys."

The last lap saved it adding a point

If anyone didn't know Lando Norris often streams iRacing on Twitch, with Max a few times too for races like Le Mans.

I know it's a sim and not real life but it's fascinating watching how easily he makes it look. I am looking forward to the race highlights later even if just to see his performance today.

 

[Flibster]

One of the (slightly dubious) Le Mans streams I had on at points had Lando hopping in an out of it from time to time. Was answering occasional questions and seemed really into Le Mans.

Both him and Russell come across really well. They are the social media generation, so it does help them out.

 

[Flibster]

So, Vettel got the fastest lap. 0.024 faster than Hamilton. Hamilton was on 29 lap old hard tyres and Vettel was on brand new soft tyres.

Not that impressive.

I was just looking at the list of F1 records. Mercedes performance this season has taken them past Brawn in terms of percentage of wins per starts at 48%. That's staggering.
