If any kind soul could inform me on what's new in F1 I'd appreciate it. Who are the big cats now? Any radical changes?

I've been out of the F1 loop for like 5 years now. With the news of Kubica coming back I'll most likely tune in again.

Last change that I can remember is that the cars we're required to start the race filled to the brim lol.

Mercedes owns, McLaren sucks.

Cars are faster since this year, but still sound bad.

Force India has greatly improved, Haas joined, Manor left (again).

We got some good rookies like Max Verstappen or Carlos Sainz.

Oh, and Bernie left (not this world so he can still buy a team or start his own series or whatever ).

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

Seb and Max in the same team just absolutely hating each other makes me want this so much.

Ferrari would be stupid to go with this. It will be Alonso/Hamilton 2007 levels of disfunction.

 

[Humidex]

Fuck sake. That sort of poor track marshalling is what gets people killed.

Even more ridiculous, she was fined EUR 20,000 for posting the video online without permission from ADAC.

 

[nekkid]

F1 set for Shield test at British GP, first image revealed

Looks great. We could get some cool looking cars when teams incorporate them into their designs.

I actually didn't mind the halo so much from track-side. In fact, it was strangely subtle. Looked terrible on TV, though.

 

[Mohonky]

They're fining her for uploading a video of the marshals putting her in danger. Ludicrous. Can the FIA over rule this?

 

[Loris146]

Ferrari won't sign Max. Maybe when Seb will go to another team , why not.

 

[Zeknurn]

These animated Heineken billboards..

 

[Orbis]

Fragile Haas.

 

[Spades]

Did I just hear that Alonso has switched back to the old Honda engine without the upgrades?

 

[Yen]

The onboard camera on the last few corners is really impressive. Like videos of 80s F1.

 

[BigAl1992]

Did I just hear that Alonso has switched back to the old Honda engine without the upgrades?

Yup. The spec 3 engine started to give grief. Again.

 

[Xando]

That Stroll podium broke williams

 

[Tempy]

That Williams aero upgrade isn't working.

 

[Zeknurn]

Jebus Williams.

 

[nature boy]

WTF Williams, WTH is going on

 

[Lima]

What the fuck is going on with Williams? How are they so slow.

 

[Aiii]

Williams immediately being dead last shows how close the midfield is these days. Should have at least beaten that crap driver of a Palmer though.

Sauber of course not being part of the midfield.

 

[brotkasten]

I see, Williams took a page out of Ferrari's in-season development book and upgraded backwards.

 

[BigAl1992]

What the actual fuck Williams?

 

[Jezbollah]

Did I just hear that Alonso has switched back to the old Honda engine without the upgrades?

MGUH issues on the new engine.

Thanks

 

[nekkid]

Wow, what a time on ssofts.

 

[Randdalf]

HAM faster on SS than VET, waow.

 

[Zeknurn]

Keep in mind that these are race starting tyres.

 

[nekkid]

Keep in mind that these are race starting tyres.

Yeah...

 

[aspiegamer]

Hamilton playing the long game since he won't start in front.

I know it's because of the short lap, but this is some V8-era super-mega-close timing clusters.

 

[John_B]

Nice lap from Hamilton on the super soft. So they will run him long in the first stint for the overcut instead of trying to fight his way through the cars. Not sure he can win if he has to wait for 20 laps behind a Red Bull or Raikkonen.

 

[John_B]

Sucks for Magnussen. The Haas is Q3 material this weekend and he has been clearly faster than Grosjean.

 

[Aiii]

VER in a race winning car must be scary as hell for Seb and Lewis. Come on RBR, get a good engine in there.

 

[navanman]

Bottas looking very strong in Q2.
Incredible time there at the end on the US tyre, nearly 0.5s quicker than Vettel also on US.

 

[Jezbollah]

Jesus. they're going to go into the 63s at this rate.

 

[Zeknurn]

Activate the oil burning mode.

 

[Xando]

Imagine if Kimi were as good as seb.
4 way fight for the pole

 

[JDB]

fuck

edit: man, VER has been incredibly sloppy this session.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

Hamilton opposite lock throughout the lap.

That thing looks awful on the corners.

 

[Aiii]

Ugh fs Haas.

 

[Tempy]

Well, that was an anticlimax.

 

[Randdalf]

Gief wet race

 

[Zeknurn]

That was fun and it should make for a great race.

 

[Blastoise]

poop quali

 

[bubaglobalj]

Why was there a yellow flag at the end? I had to step out for a minute and missed it.

 

[Xando]

Gief wet race

This is what i want.

How’s the weather outlook for tomorrow?

 

[Shaneus]

lol VER.

Was there oil on the track or something? Everyone losing it.

 

[nature boy]

Why was there a yellow flag at the end? I had to step out for a minute and missed it.

Grosjean car broke down after turn 3.

 

[sems4arsenal]

Underwhelming finish.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

Why was there a yellow flag at the end? I had to step out for a minute and missed it.

Verstappen spun into the the gravel trap.

 

[John_B]

The week that keeps on giving for Vettel. Bottas will have a slow start even, just watch.

 

[stryke]

woot go bottas
