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.
