I thought that's what happened. What was he doing in amongst the McLaren crew?
bruzie
Or Roscoe had some playtime on the way over.
Just use the scream test. They'll let you know when they can't get payment from you.
Feels shorter than last week, but still a bit of a slog. At least it is a short week, next week.
Hopefully today will be better than yesterday. Had a power cut. Friends down the road also lost power. Called power co, they logged with lines co. As it got darker I then noticed neighbours had power, took a tour around - yes we were the only ones out. Called back power co to find out where lines co was. They were dispatched 20 minutes ago, still took another hour to show up (still night so no mass storm damage to hold things up). Lines co finally arrived, discovered that our point of entry had burnt out and needed replacement by electrician. This is 8.30pm. House is dark, no heating. Looked for a sparky (found one through our local FB group and then tracked him down to find a number). He came and replaced, then had to call back power co to tell lines co to come back out to reconnect. Back on at midnight.
Awaiting invoice....
Provisional* Weekend Warm-up Pundit Prediction Performance
* Subject to outcome of Aston Martin's protest of results.
Pundit__|1st_____|2nd_____|3rd_____|Points
==========================================
Jolyon__|Max_____|Charles_|Lewis___|_____4
Lawrence|Fernando|Carlos__|Max_____|_____1
Rosanna_|Max_____|Fernando|Sergio__|_____4
Lawrence off the pace this weekend, with Jolyon and Rosanna picking up useful points to move them up the table:
Pundit (appearances)|Points|Average
===================================
Laura (7)___________|____18|___2.57
Lawrence (7)________|____17|___2.43
Jolyon (2)__________|____10|___5.00
Will (6)____________|_____9|___1.50
Rosanna (2)_________|_____8|___4.00
Alex (1)____________|_____4|___4.00
Sam (1)_____________|_____2|___2.00
Lawrence not fully taking advantage of Laura's absence to retake the lead, but closes the gap slightly anyway.
tl;dr: Magnussen didn't have to move much, and his lap time was deleted anyway for track limits.
Based on the previous event, there'll be a thread for the entire weekend. I'd create a post myself, but there's plenty of mods so one of them should be onto it soon (no automod so everything is manual).
The irony for me is that my cake day is July 4.
At the very least when I say "Alpha/Alfa" I won't have to specify Romero or Tauri.
Were these the same guys that brought over the "monster truck" rally?
Weekend Warm-up Pundit Prediction Performance
(Late because I had to wait 16 hours before I could watch and spent the entire day avoiding spoilers)
James picks up useful points on debut. Jolyon can't match the clean-sweep of his only previous appearance this season. Laura the only one to put Lando on the podium gets an extra point for her efforts.
Season so far:
Laura puts another point between herself at the top of the table and Lawrence. If Jolyon makes any more appearances he may have a chance to catch second.#
