Formula-1 2017...!!

suddenly, I have this picture pops up in my mind....


it's been saying Vettel didn't see Raikkonen, whose already side by side with Verstappen..

what IF... Verstappen back off...

and Vettel keeps moving to the left... til he has Raikkonen....

The trajectory shows there is a very good chance they collide if Max brakes out and slows quickly. Vettel was entirely focused on Max and not the corner. Fool!!

I knew it was going to be another boring Hamilton victory parade race after what happened. Turned it off after about 30 minutes. The whole series has become a joke.

Couldn't agree more. Street races suck....even Monaco. Can't pass and tons of Safety cars. The same reason I can't watch Indycar. In F1 they only exist because of all the money the promoters and governments were willing to pay Bernie. Maybe that will change with his departure. Also the cars sound like crap. I want that 18K scream back. If it was up to me they would run a spec engine. A naturally aspirated Ferrari V-12.

Open question to all.

Has anyone lodged any complaints to liberty media or F1 alone on updates and changes you'd like to see?

One i'd like is the introduction of mandated helmet cams. Indy car and some other series are already running helmet cams on several drivers, but not mandated.

This visual aspect would be beneficial on both the social media side as well as safety side.

top 3 on the grid filled with the top 3 cars, with one gutsy verstappen starting at 3rd place, and the squeezing right-left at the end of the straightaway.

the start's gonna be a...... do or die.

axmea?

Well deserved win for 33 charging hard early knowing he has nothing to loose and smart of Hamilton to take a conservative approach in a car that isn't at its best and with Vettel all the way in the back. Vettel's drive was amazing.

I am surprised quite a bit by the huge margin of how much mercedes is behind red bull.

especially on the high speed straightaway.

not a fan of verstappen but his drive is brilliant, 3 laps down the race and there's only hamilton and him 2 miles away from the batch already.

he must have taken a very very good exit on the last hairpin thus build up the straight line speed on the grandstand, since it's a known fact that renault engine has the least power among the three.

And what a race for vandoorne!! great race.

It's called "sandbagging". Mercedes are so full of it. They know that their cars are much faster than everyone else so they throw a race or two to give the whole spectacle an appearance of fairness.

I really hope something is done to change this in 2018. Or we'll be stuck with Formula E..........I think I threw up in my mouth a little.

ugh.... I could understand when they do that in pre-season or FP1,2 and 3.

but throw in a race or two....

I don't think they will do it until they've at least claimed the CC.
