Jarno has awoken.
Rejoice!
I was 10ms out on pole time, not sure I will ever get closer than that
Boom - nice one
Aside from someone not actually playing, I have remained resolutely last throughout the season, and with a pole time in excess of 8 minutes out (howTF are they calculating that!?), that is not going to be changing any time soon!
Poo!
Seems this really wasnāt the weekend to drop MacLaren and RedBull for Merc and Merc
That sound you can hear is someone cackling
Edit: oh great!!
Havenāt done the maths but that might have worked out for youā¦
Just about. Had been hoping for a windfall though. Itāll cost me the next few races I think
Bottas needs to do better for you, Perez for me.
Iād say youāve got the edge there.
For the time beingā¦
Christ, good weekend for Sam
Max to Lewis and a 1 point lead
Tight at the top - any of the top 5* could win it, just needs a fair wind (and an excel sheet)
(* no, not you Paul)
I didnāt see that one coming.
Shit, just seen even Paul scored more points that me last race.
donāt I know it!
Suzuka = might be wet - might be VERY wet - might be dry and grey and cool - might be sunny and hot - might be all of those over the course of the weekend . . . . . . good-luck double-guessing this one kids!
Isnāt it Turkey next ? Or has that been cancelled ?
Turkey IS next.
Jings Crivens! Youāre right of course - thought it was a bit previous, but Jarno has Suzuka on F1Manager.info!
Getting the impression his heart isnāt fully in it any moreā¦
It hasnāt been for a long time. It has the makings of an excellent fantasy game, TBH - itās rare that such games require one to steadily build the team through the season - I like it
If I knew what the actual fuck I was doing, and if had a pot to piss in, Iād make him an offer. Too many ifs, Iām afraid. What what
Agreed - itās a nice combo of blind luck, knowledge and skill that makes it feel (however wrongly in my case) that youāre in with a chance for most of the season. Itās certainly something that could be easily monetised by an owner who knows what heās doing (me neither).
And I must just moan: losing Suzuka this year is fucking batshit and Iām honestly gutted - love that race, love its wildcard weather, love the barmy, super-enthusiastic Japanese fans / but crowbarring-in #1 terrorism-funder, Saudia Arabia: peak cuntishness - fuck the FIA, and fuck SA!
Thatās better.
Rain forecast for this weekend.
Another Bottas masterclass lies ahead. So happy to have double Merc
FML
Still time to switch to Russell.
Arse. Was hoping theyād wait til Mexico :-/
