What on Earth is Croft doing discussing Nico’s security arrangements on international tv?

 

He's basically spent the entire race being the awkward guy who won't leave you alone at a party.

 

Genuinely wouldn't be surprised if he plays Wonderwall by the end of the race.

[rafaqat]

mmm Liquid Moly.

[Bleeders]

Here we go.

[mexos]

Let’s go Brad!

[Dudley]

Tyres are going

 

Don't pit

 

Tyres are fucked

 

Don't pit

 

Tyres have a 2nd wind everything is lovely.

 

Pit.

 

Every. Single. Time. And I'm not even annoyed at them for doing it, I'm annoyed at Sky not noticing it after 277 actual races.

[mexos]

Kin ell!!!

[rafaqat]

No way is he going to get past all those cars on this track

Fingers crossed.  I'd rather see any of the 4 drivers in front of him take this one!

Give Rosberg the full-time commentary gig. Every time he speaks he's giving in-depth information to the viewer by the truckload, rather than talking for the sake of it.

Circuit / driver tracker at the bottom right showing the positions of the retired cars

[mexos]

Can someone check on Horner pls.

[rafaqat]

And I think the reason for that is he's an actual expert.

 

No shade to Brundle in that role as such but he retried 24 years ago now. He's no longer any more of an expert on these actual cars than say, Ted.  He's been out of F1 as long as Jackie Stewart had when Brundle retired.

 

So suddenly you've got someone who knows the cars, knows how a modern team like Mercedes actually operates and it's a huge difference.

[rafaqat]

don't crash don't crash don't crash

[Corranga]

No way Alonso is giving Hamilton room in 2

[Dudley]

Ocon owes Alonso a really, really big drink.

[Corranga]

Glad Karun is pointing that out, I've been shouting "he's recharging" at the TV for about 5 minutes

 

Nico has been excellent, shame it's Brundle he'd replace as it's really Crofty that needs to go...

[Blue]

They race me so hard

[JohnC]

Croft is always going with the "Is he going to make a move this time" when he's clearly too far behind.

[bradigor]

Alonso masterclass so far in defending. 

[taurusnipple]

Spoilt for choice on Driver of the Day!

[Corranga]

Verstappen determined not to be lapped, Ocon was the next car behind him.  He's getting a point now, they can't retire him now!

 

Hamilton seems to take 2 laps to recharge for another go.  Alonso's amazing

Bottas. This is all down to him. 

[rafaqat]

[footle]

AWS knows nothing.

[bradigor]

Stop moaning Lewis 

[rafaqat]

finally!

Quite. I love the informative nature of Rosberg with his 'Been there, done that, bought the World Championship T-shirt' style, as opposed to Crofty's mixed metaphors, trite jokes and lacklustre platitudes; a man more akin to an embarrassing uncle cutting the Sunday chicken and asking if you're a leg or breast man, the same joke he's used for the past 15 years.

Anyway anti-Croft rant over, absolute cracker of a race!

[myoozikk]

Podium position!!

[ryodi]

First to last to third. What a drive and Alonso with the assist for Ocon’s potential win.
