Goddamn, at least it didn't fall off on top of the hill. I can't imagine having to dodge that kind of thing on the highway never mind in a race.

Fortunately it just took a little push to get it back on the track. I always feel bad when that happens.

E: Not often you see a car getting towed most of the way through a lap

Damn, big spin for the 37 McLaren and then right onto the curb

Snickers are excellent, but I do like an Oh Henry now and then. Overall, I think Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are the only chocolate that I could go for any day, any time. I need to get one of the hockey puck sized ones.

Damn that's a hell of a spin at a bad spot. If the No. 10 can stay out, it might be able to hold the lead for a while longer.

Something went wrong on the McLaren's pitstop. That's going to be costly, but hopefully not too bad if the safety car comes out.

Speaking of Bentleys with messed up tires, I'm genuinely surprised they didn't do anything with the bodywork on the 31, that's probably going to hurt that front right tire, and they might get a warning from race control over it. I'm genuinely surprised there isn't a safety car or even a full course yellow right now.

No. 10 Bentley bopped the wall and blew a tire, that's going to hurt.

I've never seen someone race with their knees on the steering wheel until now

E: Despite getting stuck in traffic the Tekno McLaren probably gained more from this safety car than they lost, especially since they lost 45 seconds with the turbo failure.

Looks like the token system for engine development is getting scrapped for 2017. On one hand, this could let Ferrari/Renault (or honda I guess??) close the gap to Mercedes (assuming they stay dominant this year/going into next) but it could also let Merc shovel money into their engine and be even more dominant. I wouldn't be surprised if this decision came about under pressure from Honda since they got completely fucked over by it last season, and it was a huge disadvantage for any new manufacturer. I doubt it will lead to much change on its own, but it could help get a new manufacturer up to speed in the future, and hopefully without the nightmare of a time Honda had in 2015.

I'd imagine black a lot better for testing because it lets the flourescent fluid they use for testing stand out more easily than lighter colours, especially yellow.
