Formula 1 2018

Booked 4 day tickets to Silverstone yesterday for the first time, sitting at Vale which should be decent. Costs a stupid amount, plan to do a foriegn one next year.

Mclaren still having problems even without the Honda power unit, which Torro Rosso have and are going well ?

You must feel Ferrari are streets ahead of the rest then Can't think of any other scenario for Kimi to be beating Bottas & Red Bull

[stix]

I think Haas will do much better this season. I still think it’s Mercedes to lose. Hopefully Red Bull can come to the party & McLaren can compete with the Renaults. Force India had a terrible preseason but they’re a team who will change everything around mid season if it’s going tits up for them. I think Williams have made a mistake in putting Sorotkin in a car over Kubica and I can see them having a torrid time this year, unless they didn’t take a lot of their upgrades to Catalunya.

Don't think they'll be streets ahead, but back Kimi to sort himself out this year over last year.

Can't imagine Stroll and Sirotkin lasting the whole season with Williams

May as well add my top 5 drivers:

Hamilton

Vettel

Verstappen

Ricciardo

Bottas

 

Heard a lot of good things about Haas from many journalists and even from Lewis himself on one of the latest videos on F1's Youtube, think Williams and Sauber are gonna be the real strugglers with a bit of a gap to the rest of the pack.

Haas have set some really impressive times on the harder compound tyres. 

[Brainy]

Some sky request a bets look good for this weekend

 

Verstappen to win from pole 20/1

 

Hamilton win, Ricciardo podium, Alonso and Grosjean in points, 3+ DNF's and SC deployed is 22/1

[Jimothy]

So we're less than 5 minutes into the first qualifying session of the season and Vettell is already on the radio bitching about other drivers

Shock horror.

 

Will be a miracle if I don’t nod off here.

Good to see Kimi on the front row. Not so good to see Lewis so far in front. 

[foxes_rule1978]

What a lap from Lewis incredible 

[Nick]

Same F1 then - despite more speed the grid is err exactly the same. 

 

We we need a driver shake up methinks, somebody swap Bottas for Verstappen and there might be a race worth watching!

[stix]

If Max can keep a reasonable distance behind the Ferraris he could well be in for a podium tomorrow. Starting on the Supersoft tyre means he can go longer before the first pit stop, possibly getting the undercut on one or both of them. 

 

If the Mercedes race pace is anything like that final qualy lap by Lewis then tomorrow is a foregone conclusion barring any kind of failure. 

 

Silly grid penalty for Ricciardo yesterday, you could see he slowed down massively as soon as the red flag came out. Unnecessary imo. 

 

Bottas could start even even further down the grid if the team need to make extensive repairs to his car before tomorrow. 

 

Good to see Raikkonen out qualify Vettel for a change, I hope he gives the team some difficult team order decisions this season. 

 

Force India still look slow. 

 

Although Alonso didn’t get out of Q2, I think he’ll be happy with 11th. Means he doesn’t have to start on the tyre he set his Q2 time on and can maybe go longer on the supersofts. 

 

I think the the best part of tomorrow will be in the middle field places, Haas, McLaren, Renault all fighting for decent points. 

 

Am looking forward to it.
