Some extra yellow and Ferrari on the rear wing.
They were actually trying to paint it orange to see if that colour was the secret to Max's domination this year. Unfortunately the Ferrari livery bods - who only know about black, white, and various shades of red looked it up on il Google and saw this:Some extra yellow and Ferrari on the rear wing.
and the above livery was the result.
To be fair to them they were going to have another crack at it - but Mattea saw what they had done and promptly transferred them to the strategy department before they had chance.

The pitlane scene after the race (Jim'll paint it request-style):
The Tifosi storm the pit lane, pinning down Matteo Binotto while stripping the flesh from his bones, zombie-stylee. Christian Horner looks on smugly, using what looks suspiciously like a pinky-finger as a toothpick. Helmut grins from afar. Charles and Carlos's helicopter is faintly visible in the far distance.
Max and Checo (with a knife hidden in his sock) dance on top of the podium, while Fernando Alsono flips the bird down towards Estaban Ocon from the third step.
Lewis sits at the back of the Mercedes garage head in his hands, reading "Diplomacy for Dummies", after George jumps him at the last to pinch 4th place. Again.
Latifi and Danny Ric slope-off down the pit lane in the background, arms around each other's shoulders, as Nicolas begins to randomly career off towards the nearest wall.
Tsunoda swears.

For those unaware of Jim’ll paint it - I urge you to look him up. A personal favourite:
“Phillip Schofield and Holly Wolloughby laughing so hard they've slipped into a psychotic episode and destroyed the set of This Morning and murdered the crew and guests.(sic)
“Gino is trying to fend off Holly who's about to bludgeon him with a handful of uncooked spaghetti - Ash Douglas.”
Genius.

How many more does Max have to win for the championship?
If my maths is right, three. If Verstappen is first with Leclerc second with fastest lap in the next three races, that would leave Verstappen 130 points ahead with 130 points remaining but even if Leclerc then won all the remaining five races with fastest lap and Verstappen failed to finish any of them, Verstappen would still have more wins and hence win the championship. ETA: My maths isn't right, first vs second with fastest lap is a 6 point advantage not 7, so he needs four wins worst case.

There's a very good chance he'll win the WDC with five races to go... has that ever been done before? I think it must have been but I can't actually think when.

In the Dutch thread someone posted the run of wins Vettel had in the second half of 2013. I do think now that Verstappen could do the same this year. I hope Mercedes can snatch a win though (or two). Russell to get one on the board, Hamilton to keep the 'win in every season' going.
Where though? Cota you’d imagine they’ll be too draggy down the back straight, maybe Mexico or Brazil?Gassing Station | Formula 1 | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
