NEED TO KNOW:

[doorgunner69]

What the hell sort of racetrack it shat?

Like racing down inner-city alleys?

[mabarker1]

Ok, very possible.

Or maybe that Mini-Komodo Dragon aka Lizard from Malaysia last year built a nest or took a crap💩 in the duct after taking a massive pile of German Marks that too-too for coco boy in a bribe

[mabarker1]

That's the entrance to the Pits.

[mabarker1]

And this is Russell at the end of the Race.

What the hell sort of racetrack it shat?

Like racing down inner-city alleys?

It is a parkway road around a lake in Albert Park.

A little bit like the Belle Isle track in Detroit.

[Yo-Yo]

That's the entrance to the Pits.

Russell crashed on turn 6. The entrance to the pits is at turn 16.

[AAABEST]

There goes the record... AGAIN. 9 wins, two years in a row.

[Lockbox]

Ferrari “we are replacing slow Carlos Sainz, Jr with seven time F1 Champion Lewis Hamilton next season!”

WHAT Charles Won and Lewis DNF?

[Bob434]

Huh? I thought sainz was kicking hammies butt of late? He’s been pretty consistently on the podium I thought?

I predict Ferrari will be sorry they hired Lewis. Don’t know if it will take 6 months or 12 months, but the bad Lewis will appear. There are two winners already in 2025, Mercedes because Lewis is gone and which ever team hires Carlos!
