They've got rid of of that bloody chicane at the end of Barcelona. Thank gawd. 

 

Now just get rid of the other 16 and we're good to go.

Just got a feeling they’ll be strong again and Russell will romp to the title. 

Russell will romp to the title?!? Absolutely no chance. More likely we’ll qualify for Europe 

[Legend_in_blue]

Just started watching Netflix season 5.  2021 still leaves a sour taste.  Last season was pretty much a non event so here's hoping this season we get some entertainment of the clean and fair variety.  Unlikely though, especially if RB come under pressure.

You must be new here! He's this thread's resident troll, best to pop him on ignore

I am in Amsterdam this weekend, hoping to catch Bahrain in a bar over there. Surrounding by Max rim lickers no doubt.

 British guy backing British driver to do well = troll. Good one.

Bloody hell, F1 have a complete and utter full house on 'corporate social responsibility buzzword bingo' on their human rights statement.

 

A statement from F1 said: "For decades Formula 1 has worked hard to be a positive force everywhere it races, including economic, social, and cultural benefits.

 

"Sports like F1 are uniquely positioned to cross borders and cultures to bring countries and communities together to share the passion and excitement of incredible competition and achievement.

 

"We take our responsibilities very seriously and have made our position on human rights and other issues clear to all our partners and host countries who commit to respect human rights in the way their events are hosted and delivered."

 

Bravo F1, bravo!

[Super_horns]

Not sure anyone in F1 is going to listen to MPs. who probably do trade deals and other such relationships with the very countries they are describing either.

Think Ferrari will build on last year and should be a bit more stable with Vasser, but saying that I can’t see past Max at this stage. Hope I’m wrong, racing was a lot better last year but need to try and bridge the gap again. Don’t want max to be just another Lewis

Logan Hunter Sargent is the most American name I've literally ever heard. Sounds like the name of a generic American character in a 90s Japanese computer game. 

[Muzzy_no7]

Aston Martin going back to Stroll for the weekend. 
 

He was already stealing a place on the grid and now with what looks to be a super competitive AM he’ll be the envy of more than half the grid. 

[Stinkenzo]

Lance Stroll is deserving of his spot on the grid if you don't look at it from the "his dad runs the team" way of things 

[isaidno]

Can only see red bull extending their advantage this season.

Surely Stroll won't be fit enough to race. Had to be helped out the car today.

Probably only doing so as Daddy wants him to.

 

Mind you was still 6th fastest !

I'm well out of kilter with this. But Horner is exactly the sort of superficially successful man who would marry a spice girl. Beckhamesque. They are both prats. Let that be a lesson to you and me.

Stuck with channel 4 highlights …. Do I have to watch it live at 7:30 later for quali or do they show it on demand? I’m out for dinner which is why I’m asking. Thanks

Superficially successful?? He’s not Harry Kane. Like him or not hes won everything and is a fearsome competitor. Rode through the Mercedes dominance years and now back on top

If you think getting other people to play at cars is a measure of success - then yes, he's done well.

The only question about him I've ever had is: Is he genuine or is he slick?  Still not answered yet.

[isaidno]

Hopefully the Aston Martin pace is genuine.

I can't stand Horner. Fair play he's a hugely successful guy and I get like all team principals, especially the successful ones, he goes above and beyond to fight his corner. He just has a manner about him I can't stomach, smug, self satisfied, if you close your eyes he sounds identical to Tim Henman as well, which isn't a compliment. Comes across as the sort who'd sell his gran for just below the asking price. 

 

And Toto Wolff comes across as a total ****.

I can’t stand him and verstappen, both smug idiots and it’s painful to see red bull dominating. But it would be pretty dumb to suggest both of them are not world class at what they do

Same, the idea of Fernando having a final proper tilt would be amazing.
