Well, with sleeper sleeping the beginning of this years motorsports action has flew by the ol' PA machine. With the F1 season starting up I figured this would be a good time to start those engines.

Honestly it didn't look nearly as ugly as I thought it would. In most shots I barely even noticed it was there.

5th place finish for Alonso? What is this madness!?!? Still a bit sad that Kimi, who as ya know was my fav driver of my F1 time, is holding the seat at Ferrari. Really feel it should've to Hulk, though by this point he's prob too old and it'll go to the next 20 year old. Here's to a good season, hoping Vettel can pull this one out, or ya know someone besides him and Seb but let's be real here haha

^ 7th for Fernando is a bit more like it!  And who's the Gastly dude who took 4th last Sunday?Vettel did it again! Nice drive. Not sure why Kimi didn't keep going after his incident. The old wheel and tire was still securely on the car. He still might have ended up in the points. ------------- This message was brought to you by a proud supporter of the Deep State. |

| Great race today thanks to Verstappen. Nice climb from Kimi too after practically throwing away the podium to give Vettel a chance to win. |

Alexander Rossi flat out dominated the weekend in Long Beach and now has three wins on three of the top tracks in all of racing. ------------- http://gamercards.exophase.com/xbox/user/MillsLayne/" rel="nofollow">  ht |

Classic Bristol bump 'n' run is back! It was the Kyle & Kyle show at the end and it was Rowdy Busch on the bumping end of said move, bumping Larson out of the way with six laps to go to claim his 45th Cup series win! ------------- http://gamercards.exophase.com/xbox/user/MillsLayne/" rel="nofollow"> ht |

Indy (500) this Sunday. Whoever gets the new areo package right will run away with it. Penske? I'm going going with Danica as the dark horse. Just because. ------------- This message was brought to you by a proud supporter of the Deep State. |

Trust me, I was nervous as hell those last few laps. No way did I think he'd be able to dominate literally all night long like that. ------------- http://gamercards.exophase.com/xbox/user/MillsLayne/" rel="nofollow"> ht |

Good win by Power. I've come to like him more now that he's not running over the top of everyone to get to first. He's become a cool, calculating and fast driver, IMHO. Congrats to Daniel for the obvious reasons. I turned off the World 600. Too boring to watch after seeing Monaco I'm afraid.

The problem with this race that everyone was saving their tyres. This is not racing. Though I am glad that Daniel won though!!...

^ Monaco is so iconic but I don't remember ever seeing one on TV that was not a procession. The first one I watched was in 1975 on ABC's Wide World of Sports (I think). It was run in the rain with Lauda winning. The rain added a lot of excitement and going through that tunnel!

Doh! Cant believe I forgot to post here. I was travelling at the time. Belated congrats to Ricciardo! Redemption served! Congrats to Seb for his Canada win! Takes a, razor thin, lead for the title again. THIS is what Im talking about, real competition. Unlike Kimi....hurts to say from your biggest fan since 2003, time to hang it up Iceman. Unless Seb is that superior with a car that is beneath him (which is possible) he just isn't hanging at all. Kinda sad, someone else could be there.

^Like Ricciardo. Could you imagine the fight he could give Seb, if the team allowed it? It would make F1 interesting again. Scott Dixon takes a pretty dominating win last night at Texas and takes the points lead over Alexander Rossi and Will Power, who had issues and dropped to third. I'm still hoping Rossi can keep his consistency going and take the title fight to Sonoma when I go.  ------------- http://gamercards.exophase.com/xbox/user/MillsLayne/" rel="nofollow"> ht |

I can't believe no one is talking about Alonso conquering the second leg of the Triple Crown over the weekend, as "easy" as it might have come. Now, he needs to come back to IndyCar full time and conquer Indy. ------------- http://gamercards.exophase.com/xbox/user/MillsLayne/" rel="nofollow"> ht |

Wow. Apologies for the mega absence. Life getting in the way of important things like the internet! Way too much to possibly catch up on. First, congrats to Lewis on another title. Funny, way early on in his career I remember saying, probably here!, I bet that guy will end up being the one to rival Schumacher's title record, and possibly his win and some other ones. I thought he'd be in a career rivalry against Alonso for it, or possibly Vettel. Damn shame what happened to Alonso, back half of his career wasted, one of the top talents (I still maintain the best actual driver) of the era just squandered. BUT, seems 10 years later I was indeed right on Lewis. 5 titles! 73 wins. Wow, and I dont think Merc is gunna fall off any time soon. I think he may actually do it. Agreed with Alonso, so epic he got LeMans and he deff needs to get to Indy, even if not full time at least the 500. He may be able to do so without running full time, didn't he lead some laps and was running strong before the car failed? He also snuck in a 24 hours of Daytona win :) Really intrigued to see how Leclerc will run with Ferrari, and WTF!? Ricciardo leaving to go to Renault? Crazy days, I cant see how that wont be a detrimental for him. Good luck to Gasly, personally I'd have liked to see Ocon get it, he's really impressed me. Congrats to Dixon on a 5th Indy title! Putting him second all time (all series) for American Open Wheel And certainly the most successful of modern American Open Wheel. (Not the most dominant I'd say that goes to Dario) Glad to see some Americans continuing to find success. Hoping to see Rossi be a big name going forward.

WOW. What an utterly s**t race for Power. Lead every lap and totally dominant, like everything set up for a cruise to win (the yellow did make things interesting) and to have the car break on the pit stop. Just wow. They kept talking about how he maybe should've pitted already to avoid getting caught by a potential yellow, like what happened, just what could've been. Pretty crap for Rossi too, who was so clearly set for 2nd and got screwed big by that yellow. It always seemed very unfair to me how that can happen, I mean its part of it I know but its pure out of your hands luck, Power was griping about it. I suppose Dixon got kinda screwed too, overcame a meh car to get into I think a top 5 finish coming. Yeah kinda messed up a totally random yellow can mess things up. Ah well, awesome for Colton Herta! Win at 18 years old. Wow. Great podium with Newgarden and RHR

Yikes guess this thread finally has died :( Well, another win for Hami. Im hoping this can be a more balanced year, though idk if Bottas is capable of challenging him for a whole season, nor do I think Ferrari will be much of a threat. Looking forward to Long Beach!! |
