Bottas suffered an "Annular Tear," according to Claire Williams - and they currently do not want to speculate about Malaysia at the moment.

Owie.

 

[LoveCake]

Not long now!
Its 5am here so this race had better be good!

 

[Dead Man]

Hey, there you are

 

[H.Protagonist]

Guesstimate on how many cars we will lose during Formation Lap?

ALL THE CARS

 

[McNum]

Guesstimate on how many cars we will lose during Formation Lap?

1 maybe 2.

So, over/under. 10 cars finish the race?

 

[Lucius86]

Haha, hilarious!

 

[Leunam]

NBCSN, this is the least hype intro I've seen in a good while.

 

[RoKKeR]

Go time. Such a bummer about the grid but I'm excited he new season is here.

 

[dubc35]

NBC Sports Net season intro is a high school effort, as expected.

 

[Lach]

Kvyat or mag starting from pit? Any info?

 

[Sloane]

No way 10 cars finish.

 

[Tempy]

Let's hope the other McLaren can survive this formation lap.

 

[dubc35]

Who is Ron?

 

[Mobius 1]

How many explosions per lap? Odds are good

 

[Juicy Bob]

Cringeworthy

 

[hamchan]

Who is Ron?

Ron Dennis. Bernie is pretty much saying "Ron I miss the times when you won races"

 

[RoKKeR]

Find myself rooting for Vettel and Massa here.

 

[Lach]

Finally its starting.
Drama is full on!
Let's have some good racing..
Go Go Go Go!!!!!

 

[Lucius86]

Bernie has put a death threat out to Ron Dennis.

 

[NihonTiger90]

Who is Ron?

Ron Walker, chairman of the Australian GP Corporation who runs the event. He's stepping down after this year's race.

 

[Razgreez]

What happens when your dreams go up in smoke...

Power of Dreams™

 

[Elvin Atombender]

I wonder if we can get a race where everyone that finishes get points?

 

[Shaneus]

What the fuck? Christ that Honda is a piece of shit. Shouldn't have stolen blueprints from Renault.

 

[dubc35]

2015! Here's to Eva Ferrari getting S-FISTed!

 

[Ganzlinger]

I believe a driver has to qualify to be eligible for the main event. Replacement can be granted afterwards by the race stewards, but I believe Bottas retraction was very late, so that's probably why they (either Williams or the stewards) didn't let her drive.

I see, thanks. I think I never saw a woman driving in a F1 race before.

 

[Tubie]

Here we go GAF!

 

[Tempy]

Welp.

 

[Keyser Soze]

PASTOR!!!

 

[NihonTiger90]

AHAHA Maldonado, though to be fair this one wasn't his fault.

 

[dubc35]

loldonado?!

 

[Zeknurn]

PASTOR MALDONADO

 

[Shaneus]

Fuck, so sad seeing a McL at the back.


Shit, Maldonado already!!! Bahaha. And an STR!

 

[Juicy Bob]

Of course it would be Pastor.

 

[Ganzlinger]

Nasr is 6th!

 

[Tubie]

Crashtor!

 

[Elvin Atombender]

Great starts by the Saubers!

 

[hamchan]

HEY PASTOR

 

[Mobius 1]

What a fucking clown

 

[Aiii]

It wasn't his fault.

 

[JadedWriter]

Maldonado you had one job...depending on your perspective he did it.

 

[Chris R]

SC already lol

 

[Pimpwerx]

Poor Pasta. Not his fault there. PEACE.

 

[Risgroo]

Based Pasta.

 

[nny]

PASTOOOOOOR

 

[Lach]

What a start by nasr..
He pushed maldonado because he had to get out of the way of kimi

 

[Tempy]

Not really his fault, but still...
14 cars left.


EDIT: 13

 

[Dead Man]

Woo

Edit: Are we stuck with local commentary in Australia? I like Webbah, but the rest of the monkeys drive me batshit.

 

[RoKKeR]

LOLDONADO
Perfect

 

[Draconian]

PRUPOSE

 

[Lucius86]

We need more cars.
