Agreed. Let's hope it's not TOO interesting. C'mon Lewis!

Lewis is the reason I almost stopped watching Formula 1. I won't argue the fact that he's talented. It's just his silver-spoon-fed attitude that ruins it for me. That was especially evident during the 2016 season. So happy to see his team mate take the championship away from him. Nico Rosberg worked his *** off to get it despite Lewis' tantrums.

I know what you're saying. He may have an an attitude, but he's definitely not silver spoon fed. He grew up near me, in Stevenage and went to an average local school. His family were far from wealthy, but his dad was devoted to helping him succeed. He was just lucky to be spotted by Ron Dennis at a very young age.

His obsession with winning is a double-edged sword. It makes him the champion he is and it also makes him the less pleasant character he is when he fails to win.

On balance I really admire him - a self-made champion who didn't have a rich daddy. I'd love him to win a 4th championship because I love the way he drives.

Saw him at Silverstone the day Pirelli gave him that almighty blowout a few years ago. Man did he show some talent & balls to drive though the pack and end up 4th, in a race he would have won, but for the dodgy tyres. His genius is undeniable.


Edit - and Rosberg only won last year because Lewis had more technical problems. On a level playing field, Lewis wins every time. I think most of us would have tantrums if our car kept breaking down.

Thanks to TreeSemdyZee for his correction!

:iagree: 100%

I do agree he is bloody fast and talented.

Just his attitude towards other drivers, his teammate and his team, is annoying.

Quite a few tantrums both ways honestly. I was pretty sick of seeing all of the pissing matches that they were having.

Fixed.

Well, the new look will take a bit getting used to. Those wheels look huge. I am not too sure I like the shark fin. The teams that painted it black look best to me.

Just watching the first qualifying of the season. The cars look frighteningly quick, but I must say, the Force India colours.... PINK??? ew.

Edit - The colours of the HAAS cars are really nice.

hamilton is on his own league.. again...

squeeze out another 0.2xx from vettel...

bottas is barely sitting in 3rd....

raikkonen... looks like he has some homework to do... lol

We'll see! We'll see! There's no way I'd bet on Hamilton reaching the end of lap 1 in the lead, tomorrow, but there's also no way I'd bet against him ending up top of the podium. It's exciting.

...and don't rule out Bottas. He's a quietly determnined guy.

Agreed! He just needs to work on his attitude and suck up the good and the bad. Things cannot always go his way. He just spoils it for everyone else. as stated, he is definitely talented but I wonder what he would do with a slightly inferior car. The mark of a true champion is being able to pull off wins even when your car is not up to par or at least the same as everyone one else's. I'd love to seem him in an Indycar race. Now that would be a show!

The track temperature disadvantaged Ferrari. Would have been closer for poll if it was warmer.

Too bad Ricciardo didn't finish Q3. Top was pretty close Ferrari definitely has a shot, Hamilton will need a good start or Vettel will be all over him.
