2019 F1 Championship Round 5 - Spanish Grand Prix

[lionbear]

Can they change the name of this sport from Formula 1 to Formula Procession, I wait every race to see some racing only to be disappointed with 90 minutes of cars going around in circles and the Mercedes knowing they don’t even have to push there car and they will be one and two.

This can’t go on much longer, the other teams need to pull their finger out or numbers watching will start to drop.

Ferrari.....

 

[Mister B]

Time for bed. Should have sat on the front lawn and watched the grass grow, would have been more exciting.

 

[Black_White]

Drama?
Delaminating tyre for Lewis.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

That’s an interesting slow mo of Hamilton.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

MB looking after Hamilton with Bottas ‘ stop.

SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED

 

[Black_White]

SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED

Not enough to change the race though.

 

[drd23]

There's Lewis on cue. Has there ever been an occasion where he hasn't complained that the safety car was too slow?

 

[lionbear]

Turned it off, let’s hope we might see some racing next round

 

[Black_White]

Hulkenberg now in front of Dan!
Geezus...

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Lapped cars being able to pass is bs. Hamilton has earnt his position.

Yes.
But as a spectacle it’s a lot better to have those top cars together.
And of course with Lewis’s delaminating tyre, his position may not have been assured.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Lewis pulls out 4sec's in two laps.
This stinks of team orders

 

[juice t]

Unable to pass the STRs

Maybe Cyril should come out and say Renault are a middle of the road team and fire them up

 

[hey shorty]

Rinse and repeat.

Boring.

 

[davis_756]

Won't miss this trash circuit next year, inability to overtake is a joke dan was held up for the entire race.

At what stage do we blame the cars over the circuit
Monaco is going to be a parade

 

[boondy]

Jesus Renault why the hell did you put Dan onto Hards?

They're going to **** anyway

Poor strategy again , could have easily finished in the points .

 

[hey shorty]

He had the pace to finish in the points, but not quite enough to pass someone on that track.

 

[davis_756]

Yeah I don't think I'll be staying up to watch Monaco, no long straight makes it not worth watching at the minute.

 

[davis_756]

Lapped cars being able to pass is bs. Hamilton has earnt his position.

If they didn't do it Sainz would have been gifted a lap head start on a Torro Rosso he was behind before the sc

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

Renault cost Ricciardo points then. Sainz somehow finishes 8th while Ricciardo finishes 12th. Ferrari levels of incompetence.

 

[Forward Press]

Monaco is always a parade. ADR won last year on half an engine simply because it is a circuit where overtaking is extraordinarily difficult. Zandvoort isn't exactly better than Catalunya in terms of this too.

I’m still amazed at either how great our F1 crowds are, or how poor they are pretty much everywhere else (with a few exceptions).
The total 4 day crowd attendance for the Aus GP this year was 320k - DOUBLE what Spain dragged in, in a country with 45million people..
