nudge

I think they introduced new tweaks this weekend too, no?

Hamilton lost power, out of the race. Poor by Mercedes, seems that engine update was shite.

Hartley out too

Ricciardo out.

Ferrari seem to be looking after their tyres better than everyone else, Hamilton starts to fall behind.

Bottas out

Hülkenberg's Renault engine on fire

3 place grid penalty, he'll now start from P6.

Doubt he'd go back to Mclaren. I can see him leaving F1 and joining other racing series; has been linked with WRC a while back, too.

Just watched the pilot of Yellowstone, a new modern western series starring Kevin Costner. Pleasantly surprised, it reminds me a bit of The Son and Bonanza, @Bluewolf @Viva la FCB you should enjoy it too, I think! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4236770/

Felix Kroos strikes again

Damn, what a massive crash and pile up at the start of a WTCR race yesterday... the

I can't stand Wehrlein, so I can't say I feel the same way, even if Ericsson is very meh

Yeah, also he's part of Ferrari academy, I can't see them letting such a talent slip away!

I don't mind, just want Sauber to do well

Brilliant by Leclerc! For the sake of Sauber I hope they'll manage to keep him for one more year, but after such performances that's probably unlikely and we'll get to see him in Ferrari next season...

Oh, this FrenchGP should be fun - looks like it will be very wet for qualifying and likely for the race tomorrow, too!

https://www.11freunde.de/artikel/mit-dem-zug-durch-russland Quite an interesting read!

It's not a racing track, it's a suicide method Personally, Spa is the best for me, followed by Nürburgring.

The winners: LMP1: #8 Toyota Gazoo Racing - Alonso, Buemi, Nakajima LMP2: #26 G-DRIVE RACING - Rusinov, Pizzitola, Vergne GT Pro: #92 PORSCHE GT TEAM - Christensen, Estre, Vanthoor GT Am: #77 DEMPSEY - PROTON RACING - Andlauer, Cambell, Ried Congratulations to everyone! Toyota, even if lacking any opposition, finally manage to beat themselves and the track to get the overall victory! Lovely night driving stints by Nakajima and Alonso saw them decrease the gap of the leading sister car and later overtake them, no technical issues, impressive reliability after all these years of breaking down. Also, it's good to see Rebellion on the podium at last too, good job with the car considering how they finished so far ahead of other privateers in LMP1. A brilliant 1-2 win for Porsche in GTE Pro, very happy with it, and it's even better that it's the cars with those legendary liveries that took it! The Pink Pig managed to hold the lead for about 18 hours, extremely clean racing, no mistakes, great stuff Rothmans livery car in second, just as legendary, and this is a great tribute to both the 917 and 956/962 Le Mans winning Porsches of the 70s and 80s... Very fitting for the 70th anniversary of the marque as well, love it! Also very happy for Dempsey-Proton Racing Porsche winning their class, well deserved! This year's race won't go into the history books as one of the classics, but it still was good entertainment, glad to have watched it (almost all of it, haha) and am looking forward to next year already! Meanwhile, 60 days to go until the next round at Silverstone

Less than 7 minutes to go! Hopefully the Bacon Brothers don't throw it away now!

They apparently forgot to fuel WTF Toyota Wrong car though

Personally, I'm not a fan of LMP1 in general, but this year paints a bad picture as after Porsche left, Toyota are the only manufacturer left and faces no competition from the privateers, so you're right that the class got little to no appeal. However, in previous years the race in all classes was decided in final laps, so there used to be plenty of excitement. There are new LMP1 regulations approved for 2020, which will see new kind of prototypes based on hypercars/concept cars coming in and more manufacturers returning, so this is more or less a transitional phase now. At any case, my primary interest is GT racing, and even if this year's race has been less dramatic than last year so far, it's still been very tight and competitive; after 18 hours of racing, 11 cars were still on the same lap with just seconds between them. The leading Porsche has been one lap ahead for a while due to safety cars, but other than that, there has been a close battle for the most of the field. Also in general, so many things can happen at any point during those 24 hours, there's usually so much drama, haha.

Massive crash, Paul di Resta goes into a concrete wall head-on Driver ok.
