Re: Formula One 2017

It was a good show by McLaren, both cars finishing and both in the points. Hmmm what's next, Honda getting better at making its engines??? For the sake of F1 lets hope so. Good, Lewis actually followed a team order to give the place back after five laps, a welcome change there. As for Max Verstappen...

Hey End User, whilst I agree with notfred it is a bit of fun, but as he said its a joke which has gone on a bit long. That being said being a native of the same state that he comes from, he doesn't play mind games off track, that isn't in his make up. Now if the shoey was done before the races I'd a...

Re: Formula One 2017

Good to see Bottas win, shame he refused the shoey :lol:
Will be interesting to see this race to see if Honda has improved with its new updates, Alonso crashing out made it difficult to know if the McLaren would've gone the distance and/or gone faster.
Hope Silverstone's a more entertaining race.

Re: Formula One 2017

Red Bull will probably get it together once Renault gets their sh@t together and gives them a more powerful and reliable engine. As can be seen the problem aint their drivers or the aero package so Renault is all that's left. At least this year Renault seem to be getting their act together at long l...

Re: Formula One 2017

Well Sato must be bloody happy he's finally won a significant race, after all the c*** cars he was given to drive before. On the other hand Alonso must have a sense of deja vu all over again. He just can't take a trick with Honda powered cars at the moment.... as for leading for 20+ laps, hell yes h...

Okay, I thought they were the same. Given that it's a Blues standard any number of bands could've recorded it using a trumpet instead of sax.
But as you've ruled my choice out, good hunting :)

Re: Please help me name this song...

Just another possibility try Nocturne for the Blues/Harlem Nocturne by the Viscounts.(circa 1940) Yep it's that old.
Or for a fresher version the Roy Frank Orchestra.
Just my two cents on this :wink:
