Morning, folks. Had Yoda at the vet for her first checkup, and everything is in place, except that it turns out that she's a he. Luckily the name still works!
[MENTION=2530]Wyvern[/MENTION]: Wat het jy van die race gedink? Bietjie 'n boring middel deel, maar wat 'n einde! Ek dink op die oomblik net dieselfde as Coulthard, ek dink nie VES het 'n voordeel gekry uit die hoek sny nie, so ek voel die penalty was nie nodig nie. En as hy wel ene moet kry, hoekom kry HAM nie ene vir dieselfde doen aan die begin van die race nie? Maar either way is VET Driver of the day; hy het so goed gery om sy plek teen RIC te beskerm, en evasive action te neem, en nog VES aan te val, en daai 1ste stint op sy bande was epic.

Bwahaha ek neem aan jy het noggie gehoor nie? Riccardio is nou 3rde, Ves 4de en Vettel 5de.
Ek voel Ves het voordeel gekry daar, as hy nie dai gesny het nie sou Vettel verby gewees het, beslis. Maar Vettel het blykbaar Ricciardo geblock toe hy hom try verbysteek so Vettel is 10s penalty gegee...
Ek is so gatvol, die was die most boring race, op die einde waar dit blerry goed begin raak het, het Vettel soos 'n spoiled brat geklink, Verstappen 'n entitled kind speel en Ricciardo score want Vettel en Verstappen kannie oor die BS kak kom tussen hulle nie. Wat gaan Vettel doen, weer vir Verstappen laat terug stuur Torro Rosso toe saam met Kvyat? Ek is jammer maar Vettel is die experienced driver wat net so baie kak aangejaag het toe hy begin het. Ek dink Ves kan fokken goed wees, maar hy moet groot word. Ek dink hierdie BS waar hulle onder 21 al in F1 ry is verkeerd. Hulle is nie mentally oud genoeg om te cope met alles wat op die baan gebeur en van die baan af nie.
Kyk Vettel se eerste stint was amazing, maar ekhet dit verwag. Hy was op sy happieste die heel naweek op dai bande. Ek voel net bored, die reels en regulasies limit die innovation in F1.

Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel has been given a ten-second time penalty for driving ‘dangerously or erratically’ while defending fourth place from Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo in the closing stages of Sunday’s Formula 1 Gran Premio de Mexico 2016.
It means Vettel drops from third to fifth in the final classification, with Ricciardo moving up to third and Red Bull team mate Max Verstappen - who earlier had five seconds added to his race time for going off track and gaining an advantage whilst battling the four-time champion - to fourth.
In making their decision, the stewards referred to the race director Charlie Whiting’s recent directive in the United States, which stipulated that any change of direction under braking which results in another driver having to take evasive action will be considered abnormal and hence potentially dangerous to other drivers.
According to the stewards report telemetry and video evidence showed that Vettel did change direction under braking for Turn 4 and that “this was considered to be potentially dangerous in view of the proximity of the wheels of each car.â€
In addition to a 10-second penalty, Vettel was also handed two penalty points on his license, bringing his total to six points in the last 12 months.
Ferrari boss Maurizio Arrivabene said 'bureaucracy' had robbed his team of a podium, adding that the decision was "too harsh and somehow unfair."
Speaking about the incident with Ricciardo after the race, Vettel indicated he thought his driving was within acceptable bounderies: “I didn’t get the best exit [out of Turn 3] so I knew it would be tight with Daniel, and I know Daniel in these situations: he’s jumping into the gap even if he doesn’t make the rest of the corner.
“I think I knew exactly the situation - or in my head - the situation in Barcelona came up where he dived down the inside last minute. I gave him enough room but in fact he didn’t make the first corner.
“He was obviously upset about it and he told me to look at it again. I will do that but yeah, I think I gave him just enough room, it was very late. I think both of us just about made the corner.â€
However, Ricciardo said that Vettel’s move was “what everyone's been complaining about latelyâ€.
“It looked like he opened the door, I committed and had every right to be there, but he kept closing the door and in the end I had nowhere to go,†the Australian explained.
"Don't get me wrong I love racing, I love racing hard and even a bit of contact, but this whole moving under braking - you don't move after you've been out-foxed.â€
Ricciardo’s promotion to third assures the Red Bull driver of third place in the drivers’ standings this season, which equals his best championship position to date.

uhm im not sure how crazy that is.... is it on the same level as stamp collectors finding a rare stamp?
i have some american and mexican coins if you want?
Just the fact that it is so old. Don't care much for the Value, will never sell it. Oeh that would be awesome! !

Disagree, he completely avoided the corner and just charged through, hence there was no way for vettel to "get ahead". And as a result he 100% gained an advantage. As they said, if there was any kind of barrier in place to prevent it happening, he'd have either crashed or lost out.
I'm actually embarrassed that I started supporting him earlier this year. Every race he seems to be in incidents with him and previous F1 World Champions...kinda tells you something.... Sad thing is he keeps getting away with it (altho they did now change/reinforce the braking rule so he can't keep doing that again), so i'm worried he's gonna get someone killed. He really has talent but he has ALOT of experience to get.

So uh, a friday night gaming session of 99% comp csgo gave me what is apparently a tension headache (shoulders/neck stiffen up and get inflamed and it spreads to your head and gives you a migraine). I then got a butt injection
it hurt...lets not do that again
And you pulled me down with you!!

Yea...was a sorry affair. Apologies you had to see that, not exactly a good introduction to gaming with us. But do appreciate you sticking thru hehe. I don't think we won a single game the whole evening.

wtf. Ek dog hulle het teen die podium ceremony gesê dat alle investigations klaar is.. Ek dink dis 'n fair penalty, maar vir reels wat ek niks van hou nie. Daai was decent racing, imo, en ek voel dit het op die baan uit gedraai soos dit moes.Well, that's where F1's dumbass "laws" are now biting them in the arse. Half of the rules are so vague that you'll never know if you're in the wrong or not. That's why the moving under braking rule had to get a new, additional directive recently. So, with last night's drama, how exactly to we define "not gain an advantage"? Is it, as I believe it should be, that the gap after the incident is identical to the one before? Or as the stewards ruled last night, that an overtaking opportunity had not been afforded? The trouble I have with the latter is, how sure are we that VET would've overtaken, had VES stayed on the road? Sure enough to onehandedly award a place? At the very least VES is challenging the ambiguous rules we have, and I'm thankful for that.
Also, I still fail to see the difference between VES leaving the track and maintaining the gap to VET, and HAM cutting corners 1 and 2 and increasing the gap between him and ROS. Rules should be unambiguous and applied consistently. Is that so much to ask?

Ok see that is one part i lost my shit, but keep in mind that bloody Lewis doesnt get the same penalties EVER. If that was ROsberg he would have been given the penalty, it has been happening all over the show this season, everyone else gets the penalty and lewis does it, and doesnt even get a warning. Its seriosuly pissing me off now. He is acting like an entitled shit and because he gets away with it, people like Verstappen and Kvyat and so forth believes they can do it as well.

Hasnt anyone else watched this man's speach? Mogoeng actually shocked me and I was totally surprised. I am still trying to find the full speach online because I missed the start.

Aw no Wyv, that's terrible!
I always wondered how people can drop their phones and tablets. I thought it would never happen to me. Then last year I dropped my phone and the screen also had a spiderweb of cracks. It still worked so I continued using it like that until the contract expired. But then I learned that it's crazy easy to drop a phone or a tablet. It just happens.
