But if you don't drink pilsner, what's your favorite beer?

Czech beer is mainly about pilsners, Belgian beer is about all the different beer styles you can imagine.

There's no country that does beer (both in quality as in diversity) like Belgium imho.

I'm mostly a tripel person I think. (although most styles of beer have some excellent tasting examples )

I'm not a connoisseur of beer but I've been trying different types most of my life and always fall back onto Czech pilsners or German. I like Bitburger for a quick grocery store beer.

If there's no pilsner then Vodka Redbulls.

Do these give him +3s delta to leader per lap also?

It's tough being a McLaren fan right now

I have two friends that come over to watch the races.

One is a McLaren fan

The other is a life long hammy

Those iridium visors refract light in a really strange way from the sides. I know whenever I'm on track in the pits and I move my eyes to the left or right without moving my head, the image is distorted.

He'd also be kicking Ferrari's ass in a Ford.

Such a gorgeous car... and I'm a Chevy guy.

Yeah I agree with that .With the reflection from the lights It's even worse .
It like looking through a rainbow ...

Can't help it , it makes me think about a Star Wars hologram !

Nothing about that on the brit sites but for the plentiful usual codswallop at pre race weekend. One even showing Button saying that he's 'not sure' that Max is naturally gifted, it's not even worth reading a lot of that.
What's interesting is that there are four DRS activation points at Albert Park so guessing a tussle between Max and Lec again when the race sorts itself out to later on.

Defraction action through the visor, I wasn't really keen on it.

It's been a long time without the AP GP, two years out and turn 9 chicane has been removed which will reduce lap times by 5 seconds from previous.
