F1 Thread

Think it will be the best season for a while. I believe Red Bull have a good package this year, with 2 very good drivers, Perez could well beat Verstappen.

Whether the Mercedes were sandbagging in testing is a good question. I think they were, but not to the extent we all believe. Just wish they'd got Russell in alongside Hamilton as I don't rate Bottas at all.

 

I've watched a lot of the interviews today and Im definitely getting the impression they're not being honest about the car's performance. Lewis isn't a good liar haha!

 

We'll find out tomorrow

 

It'll be great if Red Bull is genuinely as quick as Mercedes! I actually think Bottas will be closer to Lewis if they're not way out front, so there could be some interesting 4 way scraps. I think Perez will pull out a few great results too.

Alpha Tauri and Mclaren also seem to have good pace. Seeing McLaren close the gap would be brilliant

 

Will be interesting to see if this diffuser gives McLaren a bit of extra edge over the likes of Renault and AlphaTauri. Hoping for several Ricciardo podiums this year!

 

I know, it's called Formula E. However, having thought about it, they still spunk £millions on horses and they're so 18th centuary

 

I'm in and out with F1. I used to like watching Williams when they had Mansell, Hill, Prost, Coulthard, Villeneuve. Then they went sheet when they tried mechachrome and haven't been challenging since really. There was the false dawn under BMW when they had Montoya but he wasn't conservative enough (great to watch) to pick up regular podiums. Maldonado's win came from nowhere. Then I thought they'd turned the corner when they became Williams Martini racing and had Massa and Bottas but couldn't turn poles into wins. I don't even know where they are now.

 

Rock bottom!

 

That's that then.

 

They scored 3 less points than second bottom Haas.... and Haas got 3

 

I've just read up on them. It's only Williams in name anyway. They've got what they deserve if you delve a little deeper. Falling out with manufacturers and drivers etc. Probably for the best all-round.

 

Is it still as enthralling as watching mi scalextric cars doing the figure of eight. Packed in watching this 20+ years ago when overtaking was an annual event although first 20 secs used to give some entertainment.

Each to their own though.

 

Thats a cool story.

I refer you to paragraph 2 of my opening post

 

I spent 27.2 seconds on it and its not just for you Titus, I just had to get it out there.

 

That's great. Thanks for your valuable contribution.

 

You`re welcome you could have put that in the first place.

 

You have to go round the odd chicane before you hit the wall.

 

Think you`ve got the thread back on track instead of it driving off at a tangent.

 

I might go round the parabollica later.

 

Am off round Post office and on to La Rascasse missen like.
