I don't think anyone has ever thought there would be a championship battle at any stage this season and probably next. But atleast the field is closely bunched.

Yeah that's true. Some really interesting storylines for the season though which is good. Can Sainz outscore Leclerc whilst getting the boot.
Oscars improvement with the potential of a win.
Alonso win
Perez axing
DR continuing to be mid, if he doesn't take his chances I wouldn't be too disappointed if Lawson gets the Red Bull seat. Won't but would be good to see.
If Alpine really are a Trainwreck it's going to be hard to look away.
I'm pretty keen to see Williams move up the order year on year.

Anyone else watching the prerace stuff? Albon Norris and Russell doing a 3 way go kart race….and Russell spent half the time complaining because Norris beat him in their little quali session such a sook even when it’s just a little fun go kart race against mates

 

[DamoESP]

So there was apparently meant to be another email bombshell drop about Horner earlier today….odds on it happens during the race? Haha

DRS after one lap just means Max has an easier time getting up front if he botches his start.

Keep trying to count George's fingers because he looks like something chatGPT would make

Yeah, but it allows everyone else to hang onto him a bit longer before he pulls away.

lol every car starting on the soft tyres….

Jebus that is quite a stat if Red Bull win

Matching Williams on 114 victories... Considering they still trailed Williams by 113 victories after 2008

Welcome back to the new F1 season.

Let's just hope for a competitive one. Can we actually have a real WDC and WCC fight? Will be a pleasure shitposting with you lads for the next umpteen races.

 

[DamoESP]

Piastri past Lando….

Edit: or not

Alonso dropping back from Sainz and holding everyone up.

 

[DamoESP]

lol 3 laps into the season….Pasta gun time already?

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Piastri gets past Alonso and we don’t see it cuz Sky are too busy replaying the start for 3 laps

 

[gaskin]

Nice one Sky. Oscar gets by Alonso but we don't see it because of the stupid full picture replay of the race start.

 

[gaskin]

Lando has been complaining about his rears for a few minutes now btw. It might be earlier stops than expected.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Oscar 2 seconds behind Norris now.

Unless something has changed, isn't the feed decided by the race organisers, not Sky, and the commentators work with what they get given?

Yes but they were advertising they were going to have picture in picture replays for this season.

Great, but seems a bit unfair to blame Sky or the commentators for something out of their control.

Been home from hospital with our newborn for 2 days now, right in time for F1 and footy season. Happily volunteered for the night shift tonight. Life is good.
