2019 Formula One Season

You know that saying, be careful what you wish for?

 

[hey shorty]

It's a great track, the cars have just outgrown it IMO.

Unlike some.of the new places they go to, it'll have a cracking atmosphere.

Not so awesome news that a few of the drivers (VER, HAM) say you can't overtake and it's going to be a procession.

I watched that lap on Twitter and that was my first thought too.

Its basically the opposite of all the Tilke-dromes that have been prevalent recently. Lots of long curves that lead into each other and one relatively short start/finish straight doesn't really work with the heavily aero-dependent cars we have now.

hahaha classic

I've not had a chance to follow the season too closely, am I right in thinking that I haven't missed much?

Bahrain was a brilliant race but the rest have been pretty dull.

RIP Niki Lauda.

Must have lived his life in enormous pain since 1976 but refused to complain about the hand he was dealt.

Fairly ruthless campaigner too, but he will be missed.

Considering the era I’m always surprised he survived that 1976 crash. The fact that he lived another 40+ years and achieved so much is an amazing testament to his determination and strength of character.

An unbelievable man. RIP Mr Lauda

Hope the F1 community give him a great acknowledgment and tribute this weekend.

I'm only fiddy. fiddy-one next month.

I remember when I was real young, getting my parents to wake me up at midnight or whenever on a Saturday night / Sunday morning so I could watch Ali fighting on free to air or to watch Evil Knievel's latest stunt.

Devastating news today, hopefully they do him justice this weekend. RIP Niki

I always loved how he said he worked for Mercedes, but he wore the red hat to show his true love. Was always up front about that.
Legend, champion, we will never see the likes of him again.

He missed only two races after that crash. And just missed out on winning the world title, by 1 point I think. A lesser man would have given up on the sport.

Unbelievable.

That's amazing! He's a true legend and will be honoured as such.

 

[hey shorty]

When he took his helmet off after that Monza race, his balaclava was soaked in blood and bits of his head.

The pain must have been enormous.

I think it was actually half a point!

Missed out by 1pt in 76. Won it by 0.5 in 84.

I thought this was pretty cool -- Graham Hill 49 years ago.
