Since there is no 2018 thread. X| Here to the race this weekend! (Will update this OP later)
Pumped for McLaren cause they don't have poop engine anymore. > _ > Haven't been really up to date with stuff, so not sure how they did in testing, but EXCITED! :D
|
Yay someone who's willing to do a thread
McLaren kept derping in testing. If they are not level with RBR by May, someone head may roll.
We shall see how this season go. Looking great and someone may win his 5th title. But I prefer Ricciardo winning his maiden title while Mercedes wins the constructor.

No halo in OP?
I'm pretty hyped for this season. Red Bull really upping their game with Ferrari looking good in pre season testing. Mercedes sandbagging hard as usual.
I'll call it right now. Toro Rosso ahead of McLaren this year for maximum salt.

McLaren still had problems in testing and Torro Rosso powered now by Honda did fine with it, minus a couple of flaws on the last day of testing. McLaren say they don't have any issues anymore but i can see them retiring in Australia already xd
Merc vs Ferrari vs Red Bull should be great. All 3 showed pace on different dates with Mercedes pumping in the most laps of the 3 teams. Should be a great start to the season this weekend.
Lets go Lewis!!

what are you talking about? this would make it the most dramatic story of the year, which potentially can lead to a lot of behind-the-scenes moves. I would be all where is my popcorn and beer.

The Halo really dampening my Hype for the season you cant even see the drivers helmet anymore in the car according to Magnussen. Liberty are going full Hollywood which I don't think is a great idea the commentary team is even going to have to be quiet for a few laps in the middle of the race while liberty plays their new action movie theme tune (can't wait for an important overtake or crash to happen while that is playing.)
Just hope it is a competitive year, Mclaren can get near the front and in the end Hamilton wins the title. But looks like Mercedes might be back to 2014-2016 dominance looking at the testing long runs. Driver market will hopefully be fun nearly everyone is out of contract.

Well Mercedes still seem the best over 1 lap but good to see Red Bull is close, Haas only 2 tenths off Ferrari and McLaren not too far behind also considering the trouble they have had hopefully this is a good sign of things to come.

Getting excited for the season but I'm still a little skeptical of the pace of Ferrari, and Red Bull for that matter. Practice isn't that telling of course, hoping that the GPS data isn't either. I just don't want it to be one-sided.

Love how Riccardo AGAIN in his home grand prix is suffering. 3 grid place penalty for speeding under red flag!
|
Weather is gonna be shit today and tomorrow though.

Early notes after qualifying: Looking good for the season!
Mercedes engine qualifying mode is a beast. Top 3 teams are the usual suspects. Midfield battle will be interesting with Haas, Renault and McLaren fighting it out. Williams and Force India fell off. Honda is still a shit engine.
Crofty still sucks as a commentator.
|
Q1/Q2 were amazing, the first runs in Q3 got me super hyped, and then Lewis goes ahead and does that stuff. Holy shit, he was on it.

Haas just imploded. Both drivers out..... Mag rear left wheel wasn't attached properly Gros front left wheel wasn't attached properly
|
Guys, I've just made my popcorn in time for the mountain of salt incoming on SKY F1.
What a great way to start a Sunday morning. Forza Ferrari!
|
Vettel lucky shit but w/e Mercedes is clearly faster, Vettel slower than Rai all weekend Hamilton will get the title over Vettel.
|
I'm gutted by the Haas fuckup, but it was made better with the amount of salt SKY F1 unloaded after the VSC
