The commentators are getting really pathetic in my opinion.

All they care about now is drumming up as much fake drama as possible.

Yeah, I’m about to mute them. Just bs about everything, it’s not even a RB v Merc thing either.

Also, why would they carry a dripping car across the race surface? Oy. I mean I get why, it has to get back to the pits, but still.

Di Resta is so transparent , it is actually sad..so if you don't want the momentum to swing back to RedBull then you're not a formula 1 fan...
:mrgreen:
He's so comically transparent. At it again right now.

I wonder if he posts on here, actually.... :lol:

Actually this trio are having a total mare in the box. It's awful listening.

Button and Pinkham adding nothing, DiResta just droning on in his monotone voice about nothing in particular. All three just spectacularly getting things wrong.

Exactly. Like, entertain me and narrate without bias.

He just sounds like an angry and bitter guy and I honestly don’t care what happened between him and Lewis’ dad. That’s for the courts.

This. All I’m hearing are the adults from Peanuts comics.

I complain about Crofty, and sometimes Brundle, but man do I miss them right now.

That's mad. They must just be testing things in a live environment?

At this point it seems Mercedes is just pushing the engine for next year ..like doing a beta test on some items.
If it was an issue they would have given Hamilton a whole new PU and not just a new ICE

I think they are doing real-world testing for next year, nothing more!

They must have sweetened the deal on his exit to do test bed work.

Seems like it will be another qualifying that relies on keeping your tyres alive in the first sector to go fast in the last sector

On another note altogether, is there a toilet at the top of that massive tower, does anyone know? Imagine being all the way up there watching the race and needing the facilities....
