Beautiful thing,as all Ferraris are,but the Aston I put up on BCs Car thread,beats it for me.
I do like the Roma, but the new SF90 Stradale looks even better if you ask me. 1000hp hybrid hyper car, but this one is a bargain at well under half a million quid.

Oh, and did I mention it's my birthday next month???


Stunningly beautiful thing mate......got me name down for the Blue one tho.....

Using the money I'm saving from no footie........ :lol:

Stuff like adjusting the brake balance between corners. Staying off the rubbered in line in the wet. Really interesting stuff.
Here's his guide to Spa.
"If you touch the white line on the outside, you're crashing. It's a guarantee. You touch the white line, you crash. You are in the tyre barrier......Do not go there. You are gone. You have no chance. You've lost the car. It will flick and you're gone and it's a total. You total destroy it because you'll be with 250 in the barriers. All corners will be off. Finished".

Yes, Nico. We get it! Pouhon is dangerous in the wet! :lol:

I guess Monza better than anywhere highlights where the engine power really lies.
Hamilton and Bottas 0.7 seconds clear of p3. Which is an eternity by any estimation in F1.
Then we have a mixture of Renault, Honda and Merc customer all much of a muchness as 3rd to 9th is covered by 0.4 of a second.

The horror story continues for Ferrari as the back of the grid is log jam of Ferrari powered cars. Leclerc the pick of the bunch in 13th out qualifying Vettel by almost a second.
Vettel starts behind Kimi and both Haas cars after not making it out of Q1.

Oh, almost forgot, this is the first qualy session since the party mode ban and Merc are even further ahead. Back to the drawing board for a field leveller, I guess.
Communism deprives no man of the power to appropriate the products of society; all that it does is to deprive him of the power to subjugate the labour of others by means of such appropriations.

Hamilton in the press conference was laughing at the FIA, saying this ban on party modes will make their cars stronger , specially in the race.

He also said because of qualifying they turn their engines up, which result in the Merc pair saving their engines during a race. Now with this ban, they can maximise their performance to the fullest. :lol:

I'm hoping Hamilton wins his 7th title.

After that, I'm routing for Norris, Ricciardo, Russell, Verstappen and LeClerc. ;)

Spreading your bet there Noni! :lol:

I want Hamilton to get an eighth title too so he has the outright record. Preferably en every conceivable statistic.

Who will win? :roll:

Hamilton penalised and moved near the back. Max Verstappen retires.
