You mean the joke that Mercedes cracked. :lol:
Only in your head.

Both Nico and Lewis had issues and I personally would have liked to have seen both of them break down in Russia. I laughed so much when that incident in Spain happened. What wasn't funny in Spain though was what Red Bull did to Daniel Ricciardo and I think you will see a man on a mission this weekend. His mission will be to destroy the notion of Vestappen and maybe along the way he may just also destroy 2 silver cars as well.

Given the above pictures, I'd vote Ferrari, regardless of team mates crashing or not :)

So, you think it's funny when there is a collision?

Well, I'm mainly using four weather forecast sites and all of them are predicting rain to arrive at the start of the race.

Changing condition s would be better than endless rain. We would see a lot of gambles with tyres and more pitstops.

rain rain pls [-o<

According to Matt Somerfield, it could be Mercedes and Ferrari that McLaren was referring to, re tyre pressure trick

No collision is harmless. Even if there are no physical injuries there is still great disappointment. Especially when both cars of one team are out on the first lap. That's millions of pounds and a few weeks work wasted with a few hundred team members gutted at the result (and probably many fans too). It's unfortunate that you find humour in this.

that crash was the best thing happened to F1 for a long time.

and if not hoping for a crash than at least for two technical DNF's :mrgreen:

Did anyone noticed Saubers windscreen? It was heavily serrated. No pictures tho, saw it on Sky footage.
Losers focus on winners, winners focus on winning.
