Well, well, well... and here I was thinking that this thread had died from COVID, right after KRB’s passing. Glad to see both, F1 and this thread raised from the dead.

Indeed. At least KRB will have someone to banter with now.

Anybody know how Mike is doing? Haven’t seen him post for a while now...

Williams sucking wind during practice. Both cars placed last. Kubica says he has no one to race against... sad to see a great team die on the vine. Who will buy them and turn them into a performer? She seems clueless despite growing up in this business.

I’m concerned. Hope you are doing ok, KRB!

Glad we didn’t ask...

And this one, too. Never knew much about this guy (before my time). Thx for bringing this subject up, KRB. https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/december-1996/10/unlucky-star

Great article on this subject written after Amon’s untimely death: https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/opinion/f1/remembering-chris-amon

Let me know what you decide to do. If I am stateside, I may go to one of those as well. It would be cool to meet either in Montreal or in Texas, as I have not yet been.

I am so excited about Robert’s comeback, that I am even considering getting cable or satellite TV for next season!!!

Yep, Polish petroleum giant, Oren, will foot the budget gap at Williams to the tune of at least $10,000,000. Euck yeah!!! I am one happy motherfather!

Sorry to hear, KRB. Didn't know you recently got divorced. How is that new life treating you? But glad to hear you are back at work - it clearly ain't resulted in you posting on here any less.

My 2018 Armada Platinum has the camera rear view mirror. The focus change from road ahead to screen in the mirror takes time to get used to, but it isn’t an issue for me anymore. Much clearer, wider, and fully unobstructed view. The camera is behind rear hatch glass at the top and is cleaned by the rear wiper blade. It is adjustable up and down, and can be zoomed in and out, thru the onscreen menu and there is no noticeable delay to how it portrays what is behind you. Love it... especially when the back of the truck is full of cargo or people. F1 drivers are young and tech savvy. They should switch to cameras that offer better side and rear view without blind spots.

Lettuce has come a long way from his Renault days of trying to beat Maldonado in numbers of crashes per season

Netflix may still have a good documentary on him and his career. A rider that had a 6th sense and was one with the bike.

Haven't yet seen the race, but Quali in Monaco was pretty good to watch.

I recorded it and watched a few days later. Ended up fasforwarding through most of it. Not much to see. Hamilton must be feeling great though. Ferrari needs a better strategy next time.

I’d love to be a fly on the wall during Red Bull debrief. Team orders should have been issued and Daniel should have been let go ahead of Max. I bet you that it will change next race. The amount of constructor points that these two have squandered in Baku may end up costing them tens of millions at the end of the season. Verstaapen is a talented kid, but he has maturity of a 10 yr old behind the wheel. Freaking team management was fuming after the incident. Good race otherwise. Would have never predicted the make up of the three on the podium until the very end.

I can't be the only one who feels that Kimi is too mature (read: too old) to push like a kid almost half his age. It seems to me as though he has nothing left to prove and is there for the fun on the track and the astronomical paycheck. He hates everything else about F1

Yea, Hobbs was great. Very entertaining dude. Good race and a fantastic final 30%. You'd never predict the top 3 by watching the first half. Now, that's real racing! Ricciardo is indeed the passing king of the current driver line up. He is so freaking late on the brakes and can thread the needle. I'd be shocked if Ferrari doesn't try to get him in Raikkonen's seat next.

Good race, for sure. Still scratching my head over the VSC Vettel/Hamilton pit lane overtake. Certainly caught MB by surprise. Glad to see Ferrari being race pace competitive against Mercedes. Should be a cracker of a season. Ultra soft tires don't seem to be able to handle much heat - looked greasy when pushed hard. Will be interesting to see if they'll make those tires available in hotter climates...

Fake news... I hope.

Fixed it for you, Bosco. :needpics::needpics::needpics:

KRB lost his virginity to Ronnie, BTW.

Cute little story, KRB. I’m impressed with your typing skills while you are going warp speed on your white, wooden Amish built rocking chair in front of a fake gas fireplace (that you undoubtedly run at 50% to conserve natural gas and keep your bills down). Much love!!!
