F1 Begins this weekend!

[Mr. Grumpy]

I am beyond excited! Digging the redesign of the liveries. It was cool to see Norris and others during the sim racing, but it is not the same. Hopefully Brundle will be back on the grid walk - looking forward to every awkward moment...

The new Mercedes design is awesome!

[Warrick]

Yes, up watching FP1 live right now.

i have been a Kimi fan since he started, sucks he is about done, but glad racing is back.

i like the way Max drives, he gets after it.

[Mr. Grumpy]

Agree on Kimi! And, he is a nut. Fun guy and hope that Alfa will be more competitive this year. Sadly, until the rules change in 22 it will be business as usual for the mid field teams. Crossing my fingers though.

[Mr. Grumpy]

Q1 on now, and I gotta drive down to the river for the 4th. Verstappen gonna make this interesting today and tomorrow. Hope Ricciardo has a great Q. Would love to see some teams leapfrog over Ferrari..

[Warrick]

Mercedes has at least .5 on the field, closer to a full on most, probably going to be boring up front.

the next 10 could be good racing.

Alfa looks slow like end of last season, probably fight Williams and Haas for last.

this is not how I wanted to see Kimi go out

[Mr. Grumpy]

What a crazy race. Norris on the podium! Biggest surprise was Charles and Ferrari somehow making 2nd with a tractor of a car...

[CHuntsman]

What a blazing last lap from Lando to punt Lewis from the podium.

[Mr. Grumpy]

Q1 is crazy,, wet conditions is proving to be an exciting challenge..

[Mr. Grumpy]

Hamilton went into beast mode and shattered the field in wet conditions.. Renault made it through Q1, Q2, Q3, and out qualified Ferrari! Sainz in P3! Probably regretting his move to Ferrari next year..

What a day...

[Mr. Grumpy]

While not entirely boring as claimed by reddit and Max, there was some good midfield drama and the last lap had some great battles... Norris will be a champion one day. Danny Ricc managed to bring home a Renault.. Ferrari proved yet again they have not "Formula".....

Hungary next week.....

[CHuntsman]

Great last lap battle between Riccardo, Norris, and Stroll. Perez clinging on to his 6th place finished with that broken front wing was lucky.

[Mr. Grumpy]

McLaren is looking strong and it will be cool to see Danny and Norris next year. Racing Point may be the surprise of the year, that and Renault finishing a race...

[Warrick]

Ferrari has been a sh!t show for a while now, 12/13 years respectively since driver and constructor titles. Sainz might be having second thoughts.

i think I can root for Lando, has put in some good drives.

Alfa is slow, Ferrari engine not on par with Merc.

[Mr. Grumpy]

Yeah, Norris is becoming a quick favorite to root for that last lap .5 was crazy.

This is not how I wanted Kimi to go out. That Alfa is numb but he is wringing it out. He had a great pass on Latifi, but you could hear his engine struggling to even make that power.

 

 

 

[CHuntsman]

Vettel to Racing Point rumors.

[Warrick]

Is Perez getting the boot, cause I doubt he fires his son......

just read on PF1, interesting

[Mr. Grumpy]

Yeah, and to add confusion there was a statement that his son would have a guaranteed test seat so it may be that dad is trying to really develop the team going forward.

[FairwaysToHeaven]

is there any other sport that does a better job with its television coverage than F1?

[GooseHook]

FYI Kimi did an AMA on Reddit today

[Mr. Grumpy]

Saw that,,, he will be on Sunday before the race.. So Awesome... It would take days to answer all the questions,, up to 4.6K so far... Hopefully he answers a few and self memes the rest...

 

F1 does a great job with coverage if you can get it. It's been hit or miss here in the states but the last 2 years has been really good.

[Mr. Grumpy]

Brundle's walk was the best pre anything on TV!

[Mr. Grumpy]

Q1 and it looks like weather may play a part today. Could use some of that rain here, haven't seen any for weeks..

[Mr. Grumpy]

Merc's a 1,2,3,4 in Q3! Ham's car looks so stable and Bottas is breathing heavily just behind...

[Warrick]

Interested to see if the RP guys can beat Max and the Ferrari tomorrow

[Mr. Grumpy]

What a start before the start! Hats off to RB Mechanics for fixing Max's car before the formation lap.. Unbelievable....

[Mr. Grumpy]

Lewis is on another level! Cheers to Max and his crew for overcoming a disaster to get Max a start and to Max for turning that into P2! Well done.... Bottas should have gotten a penalty for the start, and Albon might be disqualified after his crew dried his box before the start... Crazy...

 

Yeah, RP has a chance but it just all played differently today. Ferrari is way off pace.

[Warrick]

No one has a realistic shot to win any race this season outside Bottas and Lewis, unless they wreck, blow an engine or odd weather .

i like watching good midfield battles, but this is not good for F1.

[Mr. Grumpy]

Ready for Q at Silverstone! Wonder where Hulk will place, and can anyone match the Mercs?

[Warrick]

Another snoozer up front.

they need to figure something out, not that exciting when 2 cars have a chance to win the race

[Mr. Grumpy]

Yeah, the engineers at Merc have made an already great car even better. The other teams have a lot of work to do. Midfield racing should be exciting...

And, does every Sky commentator guy, no matter age, have to wear skinny pants?
