Race starts at 1310 (mountain time)

Good stuff me GMT..

[Deesee]

We seem to have some C4 viewers not quite used to sky commentary/presention.

(Yes some of us have thicker skin, when watching both channels BTW).

May I suggest they watch via race control, my favourite is the FOM feed + 2x on boards and driver radio.

Now TV day passes download the sky sports app then watch via that.

Which platform is the app on? I have a Roku and a NowTV box and can't find a Sky Sports app on either; only Sky Sports News.

IOS, (iPad) for this.

You can watch on two devices so now/Roku, then iPad.

Or mirror the iPad to your telly (if your telly can do that).

I’ve heard of this ‘mountain time’ on you tube what mountain are they referring to?

Mexico City is in a volcano.

I always thought is was on an ancient lake, well you learn something everyday eh!

C) Bulls take eachother out
D) An utter st storm, all 6 cars wipe each other out

When you're my age, for something new to make it way into your brain, something old has to disapear.

Aral sea for me, my old atlas will never be the same.

[Deesee]

Well that was clean..

Merc found the cliff

[Deesee]

Hamilton’s got a lap and twenty seconds to 8th place, they could box another 3 times, relax....

Yeah, saw that as well, must admit,didn't think he had that in him, can't have been easy.

I just wonder if he (seb) can come back stronger next year, I hope so the stronger the opposition the better the racing for all involved.

Indeed, Williams had a track record of sacking world champion drivers.

Frank Williams pretty much had a policy of ditching drivers who got too big for their boots (in his mind) on salary demands due to now being a WDC. He always considered drivers to be a fairly minor part of the equation, so had no qualms about letting a recently-crowned WDC go. He did it many times.

Not just drivers, see Adrian Newey. 6 x WDC since he left.

I wish I could be bothered to drag up all the comments about Hamilton being mad to move to the floundering Mercedes team from McLaren.

where you go: https://www.skysports.com/f1/news/24181/10039850/w...

Alonso seems to have been pretty bang on!

Wow, just read all that, Martin Whitmarsh and Nico Rosberg must be looking to take out a super injunction or google delete service

That was nothing compared to the roasting he got on the message boards at the time.

100% but we are not team principles or paid drivers, or members of the press establishment.

[Deesee]

That was sneaky...

Didn't Hamilton suffer similar problems in Rosbergs winning year.
With all the Data available to teams it is hard to believe that they don't understand the problems that Danny Ric has had as apposed to Max.Maybe his leaving and going to Renault means he knows it isn't a problem with his engine.
I note that nobody from Red Bull Horner in particular complained about Max's engine.

Firstly Horner did somewhat begrudgingly praise Renault for providing Red Bull with a winning engine on Sunday.

Secondly, Ricciardo's retirement was not related to Renault.

Clutch Failure, caused by Red Bull hydraulics....

Then this happened off camera (watch from 45 secs)..
