Formula-1 2017...!!

Seb admits wrong and gets off with an apology. Should at least lose those points.

DLSTR · 07-04-2017, 01:49 PM

Mercedes moving on.

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff considers Sebastian Vettel's Baku controversy 'a closed chapter'

alcheng · 07-04-2017, 05:52 PM

they should, everybody should, move on.

the next round is just around the corner and the incident was like 10 days ago.

Honda is bring another update to Austria, hopefully it helps them escaping from all those trouble...

it should be a 4 teams battle between mercedes, ferrari, red bull and mclaren.

hopefully we can see that at the end of this season, if not, next season.

Lewis Hamilton set for five-place grid penalty at Austrian GP | F1 News

alcheng · 07-07-2017, 07:05 PM

he'll be fine, already 0.1s faster in the FP sessions, pretty sure they can squeeze out another 0.5s or more in the qualify.

start at 6th won't cost him anything really..

Bottas was 1 laps down in Baku and his pace plus all those incidents let him climbed back and clinch 2nd...

but I hope it won't happen though, otherwise it's going to be another boring race.

Go Bottas!

Bottas will not back up Vettel to aid Hamilton's F1 title bid - F1 - Autosport

TreeSemdyZee · 07-10-2017, 11:44 PM

Bottas has been called by the NHRA for information on how to reduce their ETs. What an unbelievable start!
Please explain when Vettel became such a whiner?

Bottas is growing on many fans including myself.
Vettel is a whiner brat on the track.
Hamilton is not having the year he expected.
Max is looking forward to next year.
Ricciardo is the most consistent so far.
Alonso would be better off in a Sauber.

This year has been interesting so far and I like it.

I agree that it has been a good season so far. Austria was kind of boring but that's the tracks fault. Call me shallow, but my enthusiasm for F1 is diminished because of the lack of noise. The cars sound like crap. I'm sure it won't be long and I won't care about Motorsport. More and more hybrids and electric cars are bound to be the norm. Some how I can't get excited when they fly by me with a whoosh instead of a scream. Unfortunately, I can't stand NASCAR since I'm sure they won't embrace new technology until long after I'm dead.

Bottas and Max + Ricci are the new wave.

Vettel and LH can leave together and wont be missed by me. They deserve each other. Petulent whining and beyond ego maxed out. Bottas and the rest seem to simply enjoy themselves serious but not ridiculous. Max has his moments but is an amazing talent. Fun season for sure!

everyone is a gentleman until they're on the title fight, then all of them become the ugliest.

look at the mercedes duo rosberg & hamilton, during the years when red bull were dominating, they would cheering for each other when one got a pole or a rarely win, they drove as a team and put the team up front... until couple years ago when they start winning and actually fight for the title, then not even a high five.

the good thing about this year is the top 6 spots are mixing up with 6 different drivers from the 3 teams.

so far so nice... best wishes to alonso.

F1 is becoming like WWF and other sports...it's moving from real racing to entertainment. Hence the term sports entertainment is used now for all major sports in the US. Racing for racing sake is vanishing from major sportscar racing. The focus is entertainment and so the in fighting and the support characters all play into the mix to keep us entertained and keep the sport relevant...the result of not doing so is Indy Car. You can pretty much just show up at an Indy Car race and get a ticket. Heck the last Indy Car race I went to was the last race at AAA Auto Club and it was a phenomenal race...any I was standing in line to buy tickets and a guy walked up and ask me if I wanted a ticket? I was like how much and he said free. That will never happen at a F1 race!

Yawn.... another boring Lewis Hamilton win. Exciting! Like watching paint dry. I wonder how good he'd be in a Honda.
