The 2021 Formula One Thread

It seems there is a possibility of Sir Lewis taking his engine change in Istanbul, especially if it looks like rain.

Added: which it does....

In Istanbul, showers are expected throughout the weekend. According to Weather.com, the showers will start on Friday and that day there is a 42 percent chance that the rain will fall. On Saturday that chance is a lot higher with 72 percent, after which it decreases a bit to 68 percent for Sunday.


The same scenario as in 2020 seems possible. Also, the temperature is not very high. On Friday, the maximum temperature is expected to be 23 degrees, but on Saturday it will be only 20 degrees and on Sunday only 18 degrees. It will be a good test to see if the asphalt has really gained grip, otherwise, we can expect a spectacular race.

Why so jealous of someone who earns big money for doing very little?

You couldn’t do it, you are not cool, and he speaks better English than you.

[bsnub]

Don't worry, Grosjean didn't have to pay for that watch, it came has way compliments of Richard Mille. Being an F1 driver has its perks.

And it probably only cost $20 to make.

Those fucking watches are bad luck.

You are not that dumb, are you? Those hand made complications are very intricate and difficult to make. It is not made like your piece of shit Timex.

Unless you are filthy rich and you can afford a Rolex or similar, a wristwatch needs to tell the time, reliably. My fifty quid Casio is quite satisfactory thank you.
How else do you think Rolex and Longines can pump mega bucks into sports sponsorship?

You do not need to be filthy rich to own a Rolex.

Other than disagreeing with my point, what exactly is yours?

So this week it's a .... erm.... White Bull.

Why did you bother to reply to my comment in the first place? As usual, you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

Yes switch. What have you got to say for yourself?

Sorry, I didn't realize you had your head up his ass. When did you two start dating? Was it when you explained what parc fermé was to him?

Pretty sure everything's distinctly 'ouvert' with switch.

Yet another whoosh moment from the dribbling seppo.

That’s me then. Guess what. It tells the time no matter what.

Nice pic of Hamilton in his new race suit. A dick like you defining me as whit trash, quickly becomes a compliment. Well done poor little rich boy.

Things we learned today:

Skidmark has a $20 Rolex knock off (that he could have got for $5 if he knew how to haggle).
