Lewis is one of the few drivers left in F1 that has something other than a generic and boring personality. Let his hashtags roll.

There are more than a few.

That aside. Absolutely hilarious that RB and Lotus are having problems in the run up to FP1. They've had two weeks to at least get one car into some sort of fit state to be ready when the lights go green.

Embarrassing.

Sky coverage is starting. It has been too long.

 

[Osiris]

FP1 (On Sky)

Hyped!

Sky coverage is starting. It has been too long.

Agreed!

 

[Psychotext]

I have to go to sleep soon. Gutted that I'm missing the action.

 

[Deadman]

Hope we see some action

 

[Osiris]

Hope we see some action

Well, not from RBR you won't by the looks of it.

LOL

 

[olore]

F it, I`m still up, might as well catch the first FP of the 2014 season. I`m working in a few hours...

 

[cmr-94]

Australia Practice I'm soo pumped. best birthday present ever

 

[Osiris]

I've resigned myself to the idea of only getting 5 hours sleep tonight so I can watch this session

 

[Pimpwerx]

Downloaded the app. Ugh. This shit is lame. If I can't get reliable live timing on my tablet for cheaper than $11, then no just won't watch races live. The only reason I do is to follow sector times. Some chintzy colored dots ain't cutting it. PEACE.

5 minutes until we all remember how incredibly boring FP1 is. LOL. PEACE.

 

[aeroslash]

Good morning boys! 2:25AM here and waking up for the first practices! Hope you all have a great season!!

 

[kiyomi]

Can't believe I got up at 1:27AM for this. Whatever. New season, new cars, new.. stuff.

Excite.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Wait, I thought they were changing the TV graphics for this year?

Not that I dislike the parallelogram styling.

 

[cmr-94]

First disappointment: Johnny Herbert commentating, probably the worst ever

 

[Guileless]

Just brewed some coffee and settled in.

I love the Australia GP. I did lap after lap on the Dreamcast F1 game on the Melbourne Grand Prix circuit.

 

[Addnan]

THERE ARE CARS ON THE TRACK. WOOOOOO.

 

[MightGoThere]

It's fucking on!

 

[bobnowhere]

Oh Lordy, Greg Rust starting well!

On Pastor choosing no. 13,"You not suspicious are you?"

 

[Dead Man]

Blockhead continuing from where he left off I see. I swear he just talks to make noise, he fears silence and won't take the time to think before speaking.

 

[kiyomi]

FOM might need to rethink their sound design this year. Those cars sounded WAY more interesting in random test videos, I thought.

 

[Psychotext]

Well shit, that's not a good start for Hamilton.

 

[olore]

WTF Lewis...

 

[bobnowhere]

Hamilton stopped!

 

[Igo]

Dude has the worst luck.

 

[markao]

kinda like the sounds,

the messed up live timing app is just shocking. As a F1 fan, why would I not be able to watch the sector times, just shocking.

Lewis

 

[Goldrusher]

Mercedes sabotaging the session.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Congrats on your fifth title, Seb.

 

[BrokenEchelon]

God damn it Mercedes.

 

[Deadman]

Imagine if thats one of his engines/ers units broken and hes down to 4 within 5 minutes of the season starting.

 

[Big Takeover]

Awesome shot of the RB with the floor off.

 

[MightGoThere]

Congrats on your fifth title, Seb.

Pretty much.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Are you shitting me? Hammy is so snake-bitten. At least its not like they run a ton in FP1. PEACE.

 

[Shaneus]

Fuck me, less than 5 minutes with HAM out :/

Engines are REALLY quiet in person. Have only seen three or four cars not go straight into the pits so I haven't heard many go flat out into the straight, but they're not noisy at all.

Don't sound bad, though.

 

[Psychotext]

Massive amount of the Red Bull on show earlier. You can tell things aren't going well or they'd have kicked that camera man out.

 

[Addnan]

They need better microphones at the track because from the first few cars you couldn't hear much.

 

[kiyomi]

^ Agreed. I really hope FOM consider the way they do their audio.

Would love to hear an onboard shot.

 

[Psychotext]

I think it's going to take a while to get the levels right. They're probably still setup for the old cars.

Disco looking like he's going for a lap.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Onboard sounds good. Reminiscent of the classic Senna footage...

 

[Deadman]

Who would have predicted RBR as the first team to do a real lap

 

[kiyomi]

Didn't check, was Ricciardo using 8 gears?

 

[theignoramus]

okay, that RBR onboard was awesome. sounds bad ass, especially the downshifts.

 

[Mobius 1]

Onboard sounds nice and raw.

 

[Psychotext]

Who would have predicted RBR as the first team to do a real lap

They have a ton to do, I would have expected them to try and get as many laps in the bag as possible.

 

[andylsun]

Nice to have F1 back. Congrats to Red Bull on completing a lap

 

[Mobius 1]

I need...a reliable stream. In case someone would possibly know of one.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Poor security guard. Had a bit of a brain fart there. PEACE.

 

[malyce]

"I'm a driver"

*dead*

 

[Chris R]

What happened to Lewis? Just got home from work

 

[Pimpwerx]

What happened to Lewis? Just got home from work

Stopped on install lap. PEACE.
