When your new team mate qualified 4th and you, the 7 time World Champion qualified 8th or as I call it, two back of Lance Stroll...... it’s going to be a long, long race Lewis....

[mabarker1]

I couldn’t get the feed to work for Me. What happened ?

And what happened to MadMax in Q ?!?

[Henchster]

Looks like Toto is going to have to spin the wheel to come up with a new spin on why Hammy didn't win:

[IYAS9YAS]

BS move on the part of the officials to charge Alonso with the failure to take his time penalty properly until the race was done. Someone’s panties musta been bunched.

[Captain Jack Aubrey]

Thanks for the thread. I fell asleep during the Mexican national anthem and woke up about 10 minutes later, and it was still playing!

[Chode]

LOL... prolly last we’ll hear it for the foreseeable future... 8^)

After review Alonso was re-awarded third place as the FIA noted that, even though the rear jack was attached to the vehicle, it was NOT operated until the full penalty was served.

Thanks for another great thread!

Thanks. Good for Alonso. Sucks for Russell. Here's your trophy. Oh, wait. Give it back.
