I hope I am wrong in every aspect.

Wasn't to far off was I? I under estimated Kimi and Alonso and over estimated Bottas and RedBull.

I think there is a US republican at the Ferrari camp that saw a loop hole in the rules regarding Virtual SC limits not in effect at the pits thus Vettel win!

The German democrats scratching their hair in disbelief!

Poor Hamilton victim of Obama care!

I hate politics! I swear!

Time to file my taxes!

OK, the first race is in the books. First off the commentators, they had NO chemistry to speak of. 2. Too many times during the race when the yellow flag was out you did not know what lap they were on. 3. During commercials when you had split screen and you had a incident after the commercial was over they would not replay what had happened. 4. Please tell me that Nico Rosberg and the other commentator will NOT be on the pit lane trying to talk during the prerace. I just hope that the network gets things worked out. But for this being the first race of the season, I really do miss the other commentators.

Mark Weber could do a better job commentator than Martin Brundle.

I miss the voice of Bob Varsha.

Yes

I know it's just practice but glad to see Haas hauling a$$. Who knew.

With all those preseason news, test, changes, the result of the FP2 reflects those changes haven't changed anything particular...

Mercedes still in front, Red Bull and Ferrari are still battling for 2nd & 3rd.

Midfield is still consisting Williams, Renault, Force India, Toro Rosso and Haas.

Sauber is still at the back, although they are using the current spec Ferrari engine...

And McLaren..... is still struggling with reliability issues, the only difference is this time it's their chassis, not their engine, their speed.. still a midfield type of speed.

Hopefully there'll be something new in FP3 and the race

Damn! Here we go again. Another boring season with Mercedes leading and Lewis winning. F1 is dying a slow and painful death unfortunately.

Didn't they say the same when Schumacher was winning?

Probably yes and it wasn’t much more interesting then either. They need to level the playing field or F1 will not survive.

It's the team's responsibility to up their game and take the lead or keep up. Pay to play. RedBull does. Renault has the money. McLaren should be able to.

danegrey · 03-24-2018, 04:31 PM

also don't forget when McLaren dominated one year by winning 15 of 16 races... in 1988 with Honda engines, it's just F1

TreeSemdyZee · 03-25-2018, 08:25 AM

I’m going to be a curmudgeon.
I want the old announcers back. These guys are annoying.
And I want the grid girls back.
And I want a pony.
And...

At least race season is back.
