I must confess that, there is just one team on F1 that I can't stand and this is team is Ferrari.

I'm with you.

So fucking entitled, it's sickening.

 

[brotkasten]

No silent awkward room anymore?

 

[JDB]

Nice to see Hamilton can't just cruise to victory any more.
Ricciardo having the worst luck.
Sad we didn't get to see some BOT/HAM or RAI/VES action.

 

[DrM]

I wonder if Mercedes just turned the engine down after the pits, given the rumoured issues.

Could be

Toto post race interview will be good for sure

 

[Razgreez]

Drivers were supposed to be knackered by the end of the race because of these "monstrous" machines yet these guys were joking around on track trying to steal the fastest lap from each other

 

[Lucius86]

Rosberg would have won this race.

 

[Rolfgang]

Vettel is as happy as Max was last year. He must have forgotten by now how it felt when you win.

 

[Orbis]

Great drive from Vettel, Mercedes will be nervous now. The fuck is Kimi still doing at Ferrari though?

 

[Juicy Bob]

I can't stand Ferrari either, but the reality is that Vettel/Arrivabene Ferrari >>>>>>>> Schumacher/Todt Ferrari

 

[jey_16]

how long has it been since have heard these two anthems together!

makes me think of the old days with Michael

 

[sems4arsenal]

Congrats to Seb, refreshing to see the Mercs up against it. Kudos to Ferrari and man RBR have alot of work to do.

The actual racing though......yikes.

You just had to do it, didn't you?

Euro 2016.

 

[faer0n]

oh, how i missed the italian anthem

 

[aspiegamer]

Dear Ferrari,

Please do not be the entitled elitist motherfuckers you always turn into when you win. Competition at the front is welcome, and I'd rather root for the teams up there than against.

Rosberg would have won this race.

Oh man, it's going to be fun saying this every time Lewis loses. Dammit Nico, why'd you have to run off like a coward?

 

[Theorry]

Difference between the top 3 teams and the rest is crazy tho.

 

[brotkasten]

oh, how i missed the italian anthem

It's the best.

And yes, that combo is nostalgic.

 

[Rolfgang]

Look at all those happy Italians to finally hear their anthem again.

 

[Lach]

Nice to see Vettel enjoying the Italian Anthem more than the German one.
Ferrari Boy through and through.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Well damn, Hamilton won't win all races this year after all. ;p I really doubt that Ferrari can have such a strong car throughout the entire year, but I would be very happy if they did.

Sooo much bad luck for Ricciardo.. and in his home race. Same for Grosjean. Sucks to retire after a wonderful qualifying result.

 

[Tubie]

Vettel's basically like a little kid filled with joy right now.

I love it.

 

[dakun]

do i hear slight disappointment by the Sky commentary crew? where is the enthusiasm guys??

I think you're grasping there tbh.

 

[DrM]

Lewis complained about tyres so team called him in too early

 

[hamchan]

WEBBAH

 

[dakun]

nah not at all. Sky is rarely happy when Hamilton is "robbed" of a win.

 

[Theorry]

Lol Stewart getting run over haha.

nah not at all. Sky is rarely happy when Hamilton is "robbed" of a win.

Think you just see and hear things.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Really...?

Yep! I've always vaguely been aware of F1 and meant to get into it, because the cars and tracks are so much more interesting than boring Nascar that people here in the US Midwest tend to prefer.

But this is the first year I actually lurked the preseason thread and read up on the history, and current teams and drivers. And now I've watched the opening race live with the app open and everything. That kicked ass! I'm definitely looking forward to China!

maxbe he would like to hear the swiss one instead

 

[Jezbollah]

Point me out where Sky seems to think this win is undeserved and I'll start seeing your point.

 

[brotkasten]

WEBBAH

Thank God.

 

[Omiee]

Boo's for Hamilton?

 

[Pryce]

dat combo!!!

 

[Staab]

Dem boos

 

[JDB]

You just had to do it, didn't you?

I'll neves stop.

 

[dakun]

Think you just see and hear things.

wait for Ted to confirm what i see and hear ;-)

Point me out where Sky seems to think this win is undeserved and I'll start seeing your point.

i said they were disappointed. Not that they thought it was undeserved or anything. The "robbed" is in reference to the strategy fuck up

 

[Zaru]

Boo's for Hamilton?

But why though

 

[Aiii]

Try and not let the sour pusses rain on your parade. Welcome and enjoy!

Hey. I'm Swiss and even I don't want to hear our snoozefest of an anthem.

 

[Rolfgang]

Those helmet lines of Bottas his face though.

 

[chadskin]

Boo's for Hamilton?

There goes that Commonwealth relationship.

 

[FataIChoice]

Boo's for Hamilton?

He's British and races for Mercedes, Australians are gonna boo.

 

[Caramello]

But why though

Australians generally dislike him. Have for a long time.

Nope definitely not the reason.

 

[Business]

Mercedes threw away the victory with their awful strategy.

Ferrari needs to hire a decent team mate for Vettel.

All in all it's good there's some competition for Mercedes but the performance difference with the rest and even among the rest is way too big. The guy in 6th two seconds a lap slower than the leaders and the guy in 10th more than 3 seconds a lap slower, that's just ridiculous.

The tyres were death for Lewis. Needed to pit.

Would have to be Australia..

Tyres barely even matter as we saw with Ves, passing was not possible.

 

[Jezbollah]

You said "robbed". I'd call that implying it being "underserved"

They're going on now about how this is great for the sport that a team can properly bring it to Mercedes straight from the off.

I know British media can be super biased when it comes to their sporting heroes, but right now you're grasping at something that isnt there.

 

[Ark]

Constructor's Championship is going to be interesting this year.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

He's British and races for Mercedes, Australians are gonna boo.

Let me guess. Something,something...Gallipoli.
