2019 Formula 1 Season Paddock

Financed with "Private Money" meaning embezzled Rio Olympic Funds.

 

Carey : F1 will lose 2 current races in 2020

If I had to guess, Mexico and Barcelona unless Alonso comes back.

 

FP1 FP2 wtf ??

 

Yeah, you said it... Hass looks good, other than that benz and scuderia look the same.... ah and what happened to renault? They are getting cheeky with williams down at the bottom..

 

Yawn....what a boring race.


and now to queue the few days of talking about Ferrari strategy, how LeClarc is a better driver, ect

 

Ferrari are absolutely clueless. Even if they had the best car they'd still find a way to mess it up.

 

I'm ok with losing Barcelona if it happens next year.

 

Haven’t been sleeping well while on work travel...turned on the race and got decent sleep! I wish I could have recorded it, so I can use it as a sleep aid...Merc’s are far superior

 

Same I record it then watch the first few laps get up make breakfast walk the dogs come back FF a bit watch pit window FF more watch last few laps

 

I really was hoping this wouldn't be another all Mercedes season

 

I've found story lines to keep me interested. Hoping that Bottas beats Hamilton, Leclerc beats Vettel, Haas pulls off best of the rest, and Mclaren keeps improving and exceeds expectations.

 

DVR and fast forward..... Looking to be another overall yawner, disappointing.

 

yeah if the mid-pack wasn't as tight as it is....and I wasn't such a Haas fanboy, I'd be catching a snoozer too during most of this season.


I do enjoy watching Max Ver. so far this year...watching him act more mature than last year and being a fly in the ointment to scuderia in the process is enjoyable.

 

Minus the Haas fanboy part, I feel the same way. Mid pack has been the most fun part of it all this year.

 

Part of it for me is I really miss Diffey Hobbs and Matchett along with Buxton. The Sky crew really does nothing for me. At least the NBC crew would keep me mildly entertained during a race, and we probably would have seen more of the middle of the pack racing during races like Spain where there was nothing going on up front.

 

No, neither Sky, nor NBC control that feed.

 

Fair point total forgot that F1 controls what the networks see

 

Yawner after the first lap ended. Restart provided another few seconds of excitement too. Ferrari was beat straight up by a technically lesser car! And their driver shuffle was atrocious. The mid-pack stuff was really only mildly interesting.

Glad to see that Norris wasn't penalized for his contact with Stroll -- looked like a racing incident to me and apparently the stewards agreed. Gasly seems to be solidifying, I wonder if Red Bull will have the patience to let him continue. Magnussen did well, too bad he has that teammate. Highlight of the race for me was Albon going around the outside of Raikkonen -- he did a Kimi on Kimi.

 

I thought it was Kvyat that did that pass. I know the commentators had it wrong when it happened live.
