Cuprabob Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 A bit of poetic license with the headline of this BBC story... Jenson Button set to replace Fernando Alonso for McLaren at Monaco Grand Prix - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/39589767 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 I'm sure Jenson would love the relative simplicity of piloting a shonky F1 car around Monaco, having been disqualified from last week's Iron Man for cycling too quickly.

Cuprabob Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 ...also the drag bike having it nuts revved off during the podium interviews sounded fantastic.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Presume, that Renault must be in this for the long haul, having must have spanked a shed load of cash on this:- Â F1 2027, according to Renault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuprabob Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) Not the most exciting race but good to see a different winner and some funny Kimi radio to boot... I honestly don't know how Fernando can be bothered. Â Sauber must be looking forward to getting their hands on their new engine next year...

I reckon if Nando had a box of matches with him, he'd have torched the car in the middle of the track. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-bmw Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Freddo did NOT look 'appy, did he? I too was gob-smacked that ANYONE would want the Honda engine even after another year of development. Maybe they will use the 2-litre v-tec unit from the S2000 next year, it has to be better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-bmw Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 I also like d the bit when Massa let fingers past VERY begrudgingly & only the long way round, the on board camera will probably show Felipe flicking him the bird as he went past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Not a great race to watch, good Bottas has got a win. I like to support brits but Palmer just doesn't seem to be clicking with F1, can't help but think there is more talent that could be racing but they might not bring as much money maybe?!?! McLaren, oh my how the mighty have fallen, Honda should bow and hold there heads in shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't warm to Palmer at all. It was good that Bottas got his first win by beating the main contenders fair and square and not down to them dropping out for whatever reason. There was 8 WDC titles between them. Although Vettel wasn't going to.pass him unless he dropped the ball , the Jaws Tuba music must have been playing in his mind:-)Â Edited April 30, 2017 by Cuprabob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 I think I'm the same with Palmer, not sure why just not really seen much that makes me thing wow; just oh no not again most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-bmw Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 JP just does not have the talent to be in the seat of that car IMHO. He just makes far too many "schoolboy errors" and they are generally un-forced. I am sure the fact that he comes from a family of "racing royalty" has nothing to do with him getting the drive.

Cuprabob Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Same colour as his F1 car. That's no coincidence, he's going to turn up in Barcelona in that car. To be honest, I don't think it would be any worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
