Formula One 2019

I can't remember last time Australia had a good race tbh needs binning

Is it worth watching the highlights of this one or not?

It is annoying that this circuit just doesn't provide good racing. It's a beautiful circuit and is one of my favourites to drive on the F1 games but its just way to hard to overtake on. I think Bahrain and China will be much better spectacles.

Bahrain should be a lot better. Should be a lot more overtaking.

Ferrari need their heads read for not pitting Leclerc at the end there.

Fair play to Bottas, he was an animal today. Ferrari were awful, using team orders for 4th place too!

What was there to play for? They were both miles behind Verstappen, absolutely no sense in scrapping it out for the same team result.

Absolutely, should have gone for the fastest lap. Nothing to lose. Strange that they didn't make that call!

[Asha]

Hamilton beaten by his team-mate then. 

 

Must be a conspiracy.

Agreed. This seemed to pass the commentators by. No sense in risking a coming together for no more points than they were already getting. 

 

The fastest lap however was a free shot at an extra point for both Leclerc and the team. Madness not to go for it.

Ferrari looking really fast this weekend...  Glad I didn't put all my eggs in the Mercedes basket

Vettel needs to get rid of that rat on his upper lip

[isaidno]

Ferrari will be working out how to get Vettel in front.

I see my reverse-psychology worked then!

 

Gutted for Leclerc, though, even if I am a Hamilton fan, (and don't have Leclerc on any of my fantasy teams).

 

As for Vettel...........

[StanSP]

Unfortunate for Leclerc and Ricciardo today. 

[Asha]

Gutted for Leclerc, he absolutely bossed everyone and deserved it. Got a little bit of luck back to stay on the podium but still... it was all his. Vettel making another mistake is really frustrating.

 

Gonna be at the GP in China next weekend so hopefully Leclerc can put it right and I see his first win! Should be an exciting race in any case. I've got no problem with Mercedes winning as long as it's a good fight.

[Ian W LCFC]

Finally got round to watching the race this morning, and wow it was absolutely brilliant! Especially the first 20 laps or so. Gutted for Leclerc but it was good to see that Ferrari have mostly fixed whatever their issues were in Australia in terms of pace.

 

Great to see McLaren looking quick, if Sainz left Verstappen a bit more room he would've easily finished in the points too.
