I thought he was somewhat conservative in qualifying, but very decent race for someone who couldn't set up his car.
Exactly. A damn great move to do it in this wayI had practically no expectations for this race, but a podium with michaels helmet on the top step was the last thing i saw coming. Hadn't crossed my mind once that mick could congratulate lewis in such a way. Who's cutting unions?
Just about to watch Q thanks for the Spoiler
Thought you were through doing that
AddictionYou did not see the Quali live, and you want to see the Quali some time later. Then you know you are at risk to see the result before you watch the Quali. Why on earth are you visiting race related websites before you have watched the Quali ?!?!?
Problem is that basically everyone above them in the standings scored more. But yeah, a rare sight.Points even for Haas, you don't see that often.
Neither was I, but I didnt even care if he got going again or not. So depressing to watch.Another spin by Vettel - was not really surprised when it happened.
So you thought about that before Bottas' engine failed and then BOOM? Telepathic? Then it is youSo, who hit the kill switch on Bottas' car?
OK conspiracy theory I'll admit, but as I saw Bottas leap into the lead with a good margin and given that Hamilton was about to equal Schumacher's record in terms of wins, I thought "Hmmm, mechanical failure for Bottas then" and then boom, Bottas DNF with mechanical failure.
It's bullshit I know, but even so this kind of thing does seem to happen a bit too often for comfort in F1 - all in my most humble opinion that is.
Anyway, the Hulk for DotD - honestly which other driver today would deserve that reverence?

Jokes aside. I think this was a great race with a lot of action.
It is.It's bullshit I know
It is.
yep agree, watching f1 in the schuey era.. that was pretty tear jerking.!Wow what an emotional moment for me when Mick gave Lewis his Dad’s helmet
For me i was intrigued when he talked about the oversteer state compare to real. Sim racing seems from what i took from that video a little over senstitive to oversteer, and hence his son was overcompensating this fact and was upsetting the car in doing so....Excellent interview Paul always nice to hear from one of the real pros on their take on reality vs. sim and his stories about some of the other legends using sims were great. Seems like a genuinely nice guy...hope you can get some more interviews like this from other IRL drivers, especially in today's climate with the world spotlight still somewhat on this hobby of ours.
To not steal any thunder from the video (so check it out tomorrow for more detail), but he basically said it's getting a lot closer overall but of course it's missing the G-forces/feeling in the seat which he is more accustomed to vs. cues in the steering wheel. This is from him using high end hardware (DD wheel, high end load cell pedals, no motion or transducers) and driving mostly in RF2.
