Max the missile incoming

Target: Ferrari

Also, how will Bottas lose in the last few laps after being the only man to challenge Leiws

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > Supreme Chancellor and Glorious Leader SaveTheIntegras
10/27/2019 at 15:01

odds are the team will just tell him to let lewis past....assuming hes ahead

if hes behind he’ll probably somehow fall 7 seconds behind blocking the others

I was pretty indifferent to the theme at first but I really enjoy it now.

It’s not The Chain but it’s got its own thing going fer it.

Wow on broadcast TV in the states. Color me surprised.

danny ric is the only one to start on the hard tire

hmmmm...wonder how that will work out for him....guess hes not counting on a safety car

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > vondon302
10/27/2019 at 15:11

woohoo! lol

gin-san - shitpost specialist > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
10/27/2019 at 15:12

...or a later safety car, maybe.

Ideally, if conditions are dry, everyone in front on the softs will have already pitted, RIC gets a lucky VSC and he makes up a bunch of places.

gin-san - shitpost specialist > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
10/27/2019 at 15:13

Also, everyone do your rain dance. Knowing our luck it’ll come during the podium celebrations.

Max almost killed Lewis, because that solves a lot

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
10/27/2019 at 15:15

well that was a fucking messy start....max is all over the place

Max is headed towards the back looking for the blue shell.

gin-san - shitpost specialist > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
10/27/2019 at 15:16

It was the stupid start I was hoping for - enough to mix things up but not so much that people get knocked out... except for Grosjean apparently but the guy attracts disaster.

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > gin-san - shitpost specialist
10/27/2019 at 15:16

*dancing*

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > Supreme Chancellor and Glorious Leader SaveTheIntegras
10/27/2019 at 15:16

it was a very max thing to do

im okay with it

TheTurbochargedSquirrel > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
10/27/2019 at 15:17

That start was pure chaos.

gin-san - shitpost specialist > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
10/27/2019 at 15:18

Also, HAM was really lucky to have not spun around with that contact, could’ve been much worse.

gin-san - shitpost specialist > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
10/27/2019 at 15:20

So am I, but I hope LEC and VET are able to fight it out at the front.

Also... fingers crossed for Albon. All the chaos happened behind him, good start to the race.

Supreme Chancellor and Glorious Leader SaveTheIntegras > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
10/27/2019 at 15:20

Max shouldnt have sent it into the S...cause karma just punctured his tire

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > gin-san - shitpost specialist
10/27/2019 at 15:21

haha max screwed himself

guess hell have to come from the back now

Did you see Kimi get sandwiched? I would have pissed myself

My X-type is too a real Jaguar > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
10/27/2019 at 15:21

I really like this track design, one of the more interesting layouts.

gin-san - shitpost specialist > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
10/27/2019 at 15:22

Yeah he’s fucked.

Look at those Maccas though, I pray that for once Lando doesn’t get completely fucked over by RNG in this race.

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > Poor_Sh
10/27/2019 at 15:22

same here....that was plenty close

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > My X-type is too a real Jaguar
10/27/2019 at 15:23

it is a nice track

gin-san - shitpost specialist > My X-type is too a real Jaguar
10/27/2019 at 15:26

The fact that altitude makes such an impact is interesting, too. At sea level this would probably be a low downforce track with Monza-style wings but they aero packages with more downforce because of the thinner air.

That stadium section is neat, too.

ItalianJobR53 - now with added 'MERICA and unreliability > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
10/27/2019 at 15:27

Ves is done now right? Only a SC c an save him now(?)

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > ItalianJobR53 - now with added 'MERICA and unreliability
10/27/2019 at 15:29

he should be....but wierd shit happens

i expect him to hit another car before the end tho

gin-san - shitpost specialist > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
10/27/2019 at 15:29

Love hearing the crowd cheer on Checo. I want the Maccas to do well but I really hope Perez can get a strong result.

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > gin-san - shitpost specialist
10/27/2019 at 15:30

that was a pretty nice pass too

gin-san - shitpost specialist > ItalianJobR53 - now with added 'MERICA and unreliability
10/27/2019 at 15:31

If you’re talking about a win, yeah he’ll need an SC and some great luck.

With no more SC/VSC he’ll probably be able to put it P6.

also I meant Lando not Lance, oops

what the hell is redbull doing?

from mediums to mediums for albon

This kid is cursed

Supreme Chancellor and Glorious Leader SaveTheIntegras > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
10/27/2019 at 15:36

3 stopping?

gin-san - shitpost specialist > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
10/27/2019 at 15:37

If his quali mediums only lasted to lap 15 they’re probably really stretching these mediums before the second stop for softs.

On the other hand, maybe it’s big brain strategies going on and it’ll be a short stint on mediums before going on hards. Even if the current mediums last 20 laps they still have half a race to go.

I say this because VER seems to be making up good time on the hard tyres.

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > Supreme Chancellor and Glorious Leader SaveTheIntegras

some shockingly bad pitstops today....

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > gin-san - shitpost specialist
10/27/2019 at 15:46

welp...whatever they’re doing...it looks like merc is going to try the one stop

gin-san - shitpost specialist > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
10/27/2019 at 15:47

Looks like they’re trying to avoid that problem with HAM... 1-stopping is an ambitious target.

gin-san - shitpost specialist > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
10/27/2019 at 15:49

Seb’s also giving feedback on when to stop... will we grazzie our ragazzis today?

gin-san - shitpost specialist > TheTurbochargedSquirrel
10/27/2019 at 15:49

Despite that, there were no DNFs!

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > gin-san - shitpost specialist
10/27/2019 at 15:51

maybe lol.... he doesnt seem to want to box tho his team told him to

gin-san - shitpost specialist > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
10/27/2019 at 15:51

HAM: *shakes fist at Kubica for holding him up*

Also HAM:

Kinja'd!!!

Poor_Sh > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
10/27/2019 at 15:51

Did Ham get fastest lap WHILE being held up by the Williams cars? Jeez.

Seems like Ferrari already pooched this

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > Poor_Sh
10/27/2019 at 15:54

potentially.... i mean... hammies already whining...so hes probably going to win it

gin-san - shitpost specialist > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
10/27/2019 at 15:55

lol we’re not even at half-distance yet and the whining has started

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > gin-san - shitpost specialist
10/27/2019 at 15:57

ill be the first to admit hes one of the greats.....but goddamn does he whine

gin-san - shitpost specialist > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
10/27/2019 at 15:58

We’re at that lull in the race with Hulk/Sainz having the only battle for position.

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > farscythe - makin da cawfee!

sainz and gasly are fun

gin-san - shitpost specialist > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
10/27/2019 at 16:04

That Sainz/Gasly battle is excellent... real bad luck that VET ran into the middle of it all.

Poor_Sh > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
10/27/2019 at 16:04

Mercedes pit stops are on point

gin-san - shitpost specialist > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
10/27/2019 at 16:05

I thought VET might’ve been screwed by getting in the middle of the fight but now that BOT needs to pass an Alfa and a Mclaren he may be alright...

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
10/27/2019 at 16:09

now would be a good time for a safety car....fuck up all the strategys

or rain.....

gin-san - shitpost specialist > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
10/27/2019 at 16:10

I really dislike when the leaderboard only shows the current tyre - I’d prefer a small icon next to the current interval.

If they only want to show tyre info, it’d be nice if they showed the laps completed on the current tyre instead of only the current tyre.

Also Med-Med-Hard strategy when going 5 laps fatter would have allowed them to run softs for the final stint.

gin-san - shitpost specialist > farscythe - makin da cawfee!

He’ll be very lucky to finish on the podium at this rate.

Bot, Vet, Ham?

gin-san - shitpost specialist > Supreme Chancellor and Glorious Leader SaveTheIntegras

Keeping it around 1 sec. to Vettel, could be very interesting!

gin-san - shitpost specialist > Poor_Sh
10/27/2019 at 16:28

I think it’ll be VET, I don’t think BOT will have the killer instinct to make the pass.

gin-san - shitpost specialist > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
10/27/2019 at 16:35

Croft and Brundle are talking about a dropoff in HAMs tires, I won’t believe it until he puts in a fastest lap.

gin-san - shitpost specialist > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
10/27/2019 at 16:36

Yeah I may be mistaken.

I’d be surprised if VETs tires are already shot... he’s probably trying to keep things cool to press for the last few laps, there really isn’t much time left.

Poor_Sh > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
10/27/2019 at 16:36

I wanna see RIC pass VER and finish P6 just based on tire wear for Max.

So far, the only thing I’ve been right about today is Max making P6 from the back. Every single other thing I’ve said has been total shite.
