I realized today that I am going to be in San Francisco the weekend of the Melbourne GP.

Does anyone have any suggestions on places to watch the race live?

Any sports bar that's open til Midnight on Saturday should work, race is from 10pm to Midnight.

No idea if there is a particular bar that would be best over others. Maybe try tweeting the Alt+F1 guys, they live in SF and might have an idea about the best location to watch.

So not worth it

Speaking off, have Drew and Danny announced their new podcast yet? I need this to happen before Australia.

Me too! I'm really concerned that with clothmap taking of like it is at the moment, that Drew is busy with other stuff. I hope they find time to do a preview next week.

Why did people assume it was RB with the massively longer wheelbase when it seems to be Mercedes and Force India?

That's a lovely looking livery, much better than the shit they had before.

The car is still ugly as sin, but no livery in the world can change that.

I've already found out this livery is amazing for finding homophobe dumb fucks on F1 websites, so that's a nice added bonus.

The previous livery was dull and boring, so even if I'm not a fan of the new color, at least it's gonna look different and stand out!

But why pink? Shouldn't a water company go for a blue livery?

My first thought was 'pink champagne', which I guess isn't the desired intent.

I do rather like it. I'd like to see it out on track, but it's something a bit different, and that alone will make it stand out. I do wonder if they'll get some pushback from some of the less open-minded nations when they go to those tracks.

Definitely stands out from the rest of the pack. It's alright, but i think we're all looking forward to seeing what the overalls look like.

I guess the difference between target render and the actual livery in strong sunlight conditions is gonna be huge, will they be pink in Australia?

Is pink really such a controversial colour?

Formula 1 and racing in general is a manly man sport for real (gentle)men! How dare anyone bring women colors like PINK into it! Ewww!

But no, it isn't. I don't like pink as a color, but I'd never hate a livery because of it or speak up against it. It also helps that Force India had rather unremarable liveries in the past couple of years, so I don't mind the change at all.

I don't like it. Pink goes well with white, but there's only black on that Force India, so yuck. Gimmie something like JB's helmet.

I'm seeing this pink car everywhere! I'm starting to thing that Force India have won more than a title sponsor. This probably is getting bigger than they would expect.

They are trending worldwide on Twitter now.

I wanted to dominate the living room. Then I took an ESRAM in the knee.
I don't mind pink per se. But they chose the worst possible shade of faded pink and combined it with those hideous logos and bubbles on the sidepods.
