Princess George. Its a term of endearment in Netherlands.
But Ocon didn't have DRS. How can a car that had 50 lap old hard tyres and no DRS manage to defend lap in lap out on the circuit with the longest straight in the calendar.
Totally agreed on engine saving modes.
Hulk maybe? He was also on 50 laps old tyres.I can't rember who it was behind Ocon, but I am sure that someone used DRS to defend against quicker driver behind as he didn't have pace/dodn't want to risk and attack Ocon, as it always happen in DRS trains, when the driver behind the slowest one is not that quick.
Really Checo this year, he's really been on it. He's really been performing well, that's really great to see. He's feeling more and more confident in the car. For the team as well, we are really enjoying it. Checo and I, we're having a good time. That is also what is very important. You need to acknowledge and appreciate when someone has done a great job. That's exactly what happened today, and we'll continue fighting for the rest of the season but that's normal. We've done that our whole lives.
This guy is insufferable.
Doubt that will happen. It's not much of a chore to turn up and drive the best car by a mile, get paid a fortune and take all the plaudits.Can only hope he wins another title this year, gets bored so fecks off to another racing series.

FFS if only it was that easyDoubt that will happen. It's not much of a chore to turn up and drive the best car by a mile, get paid a fortune and take all the plaudits.
Well it would be refreshing if he could back up the big words with consistent big performances for a change.Would love Perez to have a Rosberg year and then retire.
10 more years of Miami street circuit. 10 more years at least.
New front suspension, new front wing, new floor and new sidepods coming to next race in imola for mercedes. If it wasnt for cost cap a new chassis would have been introduced as well. Hopefully that might bring them closer to RB.Mercedes 1.25s off RB in FP2. Despite DRS distances being reduced.
That’s bonkers.
I only have a sky subscription for F1. If sky lost F1 id dump sky like a hot potato.Bit annoying how Channel 4 are showing the highlights at 1:30am-2:45am Monday morning. After waiting a month due to no China race, this weekend might as well not exist as quali is on Sunday morning. This happens with all the US races now but before we used to have them on at around 11pm but seems they have decided to start them at later local times which pushes it to the next day in Europe. 15:30 in Miami, if it was 13:00 we could have highlights shown in the evening. Maybe they should forgo this certain amount of time after Sky have shown the race on these occasions. Last year some concert was blamed for the late start.
They seem to be worried about the next generation not watching and ruining the sport with changes yet are not even showing the highlights at a reasonable time on the day it takes place. You're kind of forced into watching 2 mins clips on youtube or just check the results and not bother. I've got used to avoiding the news and spoilers in the highlight era and still sometimes click on a football page and my eye catches who's got pole posted annoyingly down the page. I'm not doing that until the next day, the event and weekend has gone.
With sprint race weekends Channel 4 don't even show quali.
