2018 Formula 1 Thread

This is a bit interesting...

How do you get this.

 

Guess you need to be in another country for now. There will be some clever nerds who’ll crack it for the UK by the second race of the season

 

So apparently F1 are in discussion with Sky to add this OTT streaming service as a bolt on to their current exclusive rights....

FFS!!! Not everyone wants to buy a Sky subscription!!!

 

Did anyone else enjoy the pics from winter testing?

Snow in Barcelona and Pirelli’s studded snow tyres anyone? Would spice the championship up a bit if there was an Alaska round

 

Loving the retro styling of the new McLaren:

 

Looks like they`ve been perfecting the Ferrari safety car / slowing down lap style shunts ...

 

First sensible use of the Halo device.
Well done McLaren marketing department.

If it stays like this for the rest of the afternoon then qualifying should be interesting.

 

Slippery, but drying.

 

Well, Bottas comprehensively buggered that up.

 

Would be very surprised if that's not a damaged gearbox for Bottas. Power unit might also have been damaged,

 

Great shame for Bottas, but what a fantastic final lap from Lewis. Hopefully Vettel will keep with Lewis tomorrow and keep the pressure on to make it a great race.

 

Does that mean he'll no longer get tax exemption?

 

Only if he slips a Ferrari engine in

 

If he asks for mot exemption I think they may class it as substantially modified...

 

probably also buggered up his chances of renewing his contract for next year

 

Niki Lauda said he was going to have a good talk to Bottas.

 

That halo is blocking so much of the car. Not liking it.

 

Hoping for a competitive and close battle between Merc Ferrari and red bull drivers this year. Tomorrow's race will be interesting
