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

I hate all this fake painted track stuff. I want gravel traps that would bog a tank down, and big sossie kerbs that will fire a stray car into orbit.

I laughed. The Raikkonen “off” in qualifying says it all tbh.

Loses it on track and basically ends up at the back end of the car park, with no loss other than a wrecked lap.

I want cars punished for going off track but they’ve gone too far in the wrong direction with a lot of tracks.

Good to hear commentators not hyping up it'll be interesting in the end

Literally nothing going to happen up front in this race.

Gonna have to rely on some Ferrari comedy concocting Vettel passing Leclerc for the entertainment.

One of Verstappens family looked like she was from the Riddlers.

This track is utter ****. Might as well put some cones in the local Asda car park

 

[vanpeebles]

Even the chopper pad looks gash.

 

[spook2575]

Also calling it.

The NHS could save a fortune on surgical anaesthetics by making patients watch this race instead. Even TF1’s French commentators can’t make it sound interesting.

It's a combination of safety and making sure cars can keep going so that the "spectacle" of the race doesn't get stopped when cars go out.

Hamilton wins.

(The championship)

How has Stroll got himself into 7th?

 

[chrismscotland]

I know that Magny-Cours was binned mainly because its in the middle of nowhere but at least there was some decent racing from time to time there.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Hamilton’s tyres look crap compared to everyone else.

When Sky don't even attempt to create some fake excitement about a race you know it's literally the worst race ever!!

 

[da_mic_1530]

Haha, even the sky commentary has admitted it's dull rather than bigging the end of the race up

 

[mmj_uk]

Terrible race so far.

I said this before it's the same in golf, the 'rough' grass isn't really rough at all so there's no real punishment for missing the fairways. It's the same thing here make a mistake and there's no real punishment. True bravery is taking risks when there are negative consequences, anyone can be brave when there's none.

Did his dad buy it for him?

Heh, so true.

 

[el_dazza]

This is diabolical. Even 1/10 is too high for this. I'm done with F1, I never thought I'd say that

Seb going backwards to Max — his weekend goes from bad to worse.
