I told you to be nice...

We're drinking Finlandia so you bottle is safe... And I agree with your beer comment, maybe for that Pete deserves what you said...

It's absolutely hilarious to me to watch Kimi's progression from the hyper-corporate Mclaren culture to NASCAR. I think he's much more at home now than he was was to doing Tag Heuer photoshoots.

To business. This track is one of the best at allowing the driver to show his skills in and above what the car typically allows him to do. That said, some cars do very well or poorly here. The longer wheelbase Ferraris in 03 and 07 were miserable here, for example. I think the RB7 is going to absolutely destroy the competition in qualifying assuming that Webbo and Vettel get clear air. With that in mind, Sebastian walks off with another win and pounds yet another nail in the coffin of this F1 season. Expect Ferrari to be terrible here pending some unknown update.

Cool, so maybe next time he can wear the pants below the hips and show his underwear, just to show how "refreshing" and nonconformist he is. Got it.

Actually the hat fashion comes from the early 80s skate scene in SoCal. And those were a bunch of white kids. And as much as you like to bunch them together, that has nothing to do with the skid mark underwear trend. But don't let the facts get in the way of your bigotry

Flying Finn

Jesus Christ on a bicycle, get over it. You got your panties in a bunch because Kimi doesn't fold his cap visor like the rest of them do?! Seriously.

Thank you Ilko.

Errr.... No..... and i have already sent you an update .........



LMAO .. Finnish swear word ? ............... WTF..

Hammy is my pick -- The McLaren really looks great in the low speed turns (mechanical grip), which is the reason I am guessing Hammy FTW.

Great minds think alike.

Thanks for the fashion lesson. However, it was also more recently revived by young African American rap artists (hence my other remark). IMHO, it looks like crap, no matter what demographic you refer to. And as for your "bigotry" remark, I'm Puertorrican, with quite a lot of African thrown in the mix. But don't let those facts get in the way of your judgemental attitude.

One of the few tracks where men will be differentiated from the boys. I expect drivers to be a bigger factor than the car.

I disagree. Monaco, is historically a big conga line with the best car in the front and little opportunity for passing.

Spa, now that's a drivers track.

+1 for Spa and I'd add Turkey because it's a big cojones track.

I don't know about the best car always being in front at Monaco. 'A' Top Car but a lot of good fortune comes into play at Monaco.
