Currahee! Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I'm in. Good man. Up to the heady heights of 6 now. Quote
Prince Buaben Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 So... Who will be driving for Sauber then ? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/31866549 Quote
kingantti1874 Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Wow... Didn't expect the Mercedes to be the that far in front.. Formula Merc Quote
scottishguy Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Mercedes strolled that, Hamilton carrying on were he left at the end of last season, with Rosberg second. Didn't expect Vettel in third in a Ferrari though!! Quote

Didn't expect Vettel in third in a Ferrari though!! You would have if you'd have watched testing mate, Ferrari are best of the rest by a distance.. I'd say the gap to Mercedes is a little disheartening though, they are miles in front, I'd bet they were not at full tilt today. Quote
Smack Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Hopefully DRS will be more effective at other circuits. Bit of a joke how long Button especially was able to keep Perez behind him. Quote
Currahee! Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 I'm watching the BBC highlights and watching the interviews. What is Lewis Hamilton's chain all about? Quote
Cade Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 F1 is going to be pish this year, even more pish than last year was. 17 year old kids driving, teams going bust all over the shop, half the cars can't even make it to the grid, Mercedes going to romp it by over a hundred points and Hamilton may as well be given the title now. I'm out. Quote
Mr. T Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 I find it incredible that Renault's engine is worse than it was last season. How does that even happen? McLaren looks promising if they can ever get the Honda engine to work reliably. Performance in the race was better than it should have been, given that the engine isn't being run at full power. Quote
Cade Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/mar/17/germany-without-f1-grand-prix-hockenheim-nurburgring F1 is a mess Quote
Prince Buaben Posted March 18, 2015 Author Posted March 18, 2015 Shambles.... These things should be in place before the first race. Quote
Pans Jambo Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Have to say I like F1. Been to a few races but I switched it off after 2 laps watching the Australian F1. It was won before the first corner! Complete bore fest. I hope its not the shape of things to come. Quote

Prince Buaben Posted March 28, 2015 Author Posted March 28, 2015 Hamilton is on Pole. Vettel 2nd in the Ferrari and Rosberg 3rd. Raikonnien out in Q2 and the McLarens didnt make it past Q1. 1 Hamilton 2) Vettel 3) Rosberg 4) Ricciardo 5) Kvyat 6) Verstappen 7) Massa 8) Grosjean 9) Bottas 10) Ericsson 11) Raikkonen 12) Maldonado 13) Hulkenberg 14) Perez 15) Sainz 16) Nasr 17) Button 18) Alonso Quote
Gavsy Van Gaverson Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Briliant race from Vettel. Looks like it could be a muh better season than most were predicting. Quote
Cade Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Time will tell if it truly is a new dawn for Ferrari or if it was simply pot luck that their setup worked perfect on that one particular track for one weekend. I'd like to see a tight, open championship as F1 needs that kind of excitement between manufacturers. It's also to see Hamilton's face every time he gets beat. Spoiled brat. Quote
milky_26 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Hopefully it is true performance from Ferrari and kimi gets some luck and gets involved in the championship battle Quote
Tazio Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I've started the predictor in a truly McLaren way. Two races and two stinkers. Quote
Mr. T Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 If Vettel had finished where he was supposed to (in third), I'd have scored 155 points. Quote
kingantti1874 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Think this may be a one off, if Merc hadn't lost 30+ seconds with extra pit stop, 10 sec in traffic, and another 10 due to ballsing up tyre strategy by using all the options in qualy I think they'd have taken it.. That said, I hope not ... Need a proper championship this year Quote

I'd like to see a tight, open championship as F1 needs that kind of excitement between manufacturers. It's also to see Hamilton's face every time he gets beat. Spoiled brat. Funny that people see things differently. I thought Hamilton was very gracious in defeat. Obviously quite a bit of respect between him and Vettel. Quote
Currahee! Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I've started the predictor in a truly McLaren way. Two races and two stinkers. I didnt think i could get a worse score than 35 but ive managed it. I reckon a monkey banging keys on a keyboard will have scored higher than me. 16 ffs. Quote
:shitwine: Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Got bonus points for the treble of pole, fastest lap and positions gained. Quote

Mikey1874 Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 is Rosberg being paid to be controversial to make it all more interesting? Quote
Tazio Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 I managed to pick all of the top ten drivers at Bahrain correctly!! Sadly not in the right order Quote
Rudi Skacel Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Who won?, or is that a stupid question. Hamilton having a season like Vettel in 2011 and 2013 Quote
Cade Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Monza the latest iconic track to probably be dropped. Bernie's making a James Blunt of F1 Quote
Mr. T Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Monza the latest iconic track to probably be dropped. Bernie's making a James Blunt of F1 He really is an absolute twonk. Without the european fans there wouldn't be an F1, yet he's slowly getting rid of european gran prix one by one. Quote
Gorgie_Rules Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 For any big F1 fan I recommend reading the book called 'No Angel' on Bernie Eccelstone. Fascinating read. An incredible insight into Bernies running of the sport, pretty much grabbed it by the throat, trampled on alot of people on the way taking it to the top, few people on the planet with such a brass neck Quote
Smack Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Anyone done the survey? Felt it was a bit of a mishmash with little oppurtunity to express my actual views. Also, doubt it will reach beyond the people who already watch F1. Quote
milky_26 Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Rosberg wins after Mercedes wrongly pitted Hamilton under the safety car, Hamilton finishes third behind vettel Quote
Currahee! Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Rosberg wins after Mercedes wrongly pitted Hamilton under the safety car, Hamilton finishes third behind vettel I think Mercedes decided to pit Hamilton when the virtual safety car was announced and didn't realise they changed it to the proper safety car. A mistake and nothing more. Quote
milky_26 Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 I think Mercedes decided to pit Hamilton when the virtual safety car was announced and didn't realise they changed it to the proper safety car. A mistake and nothing more. i agree but the commentators were trying to make more of it Quote
Tazio Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 i agree but the commentators were trying to make more of it A certain number of people in the media are trying their best to make Rosberg into a pantomime villain. German in a German team and all that stuff, Hamilton as the plucky Brit who still wins despite everything due to being one of the greatest drivers of all time. Quote
Prince Buaben Posted June 10, 2015 Author Posted June 10, 2015 F1 must be boring. No one in here talking about the procession from sunday Quote
Cade Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 When even Canada, infamous for crashes and drama, become a fuel and tyre saving exercise from the first lap to the last then there is no hope for F1 in it's current form. It's boring as feck to watch. Thankfully TOCA is still on ITV4. Quote
kingantti1874 Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 I have to say f1 has completely lost its way.. Lift and Coast Quote
Cade Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Both McLarens hit with a 25 place grid penalty for changing both engines and gearboxes before the next race. There are only 20 places on the grid. In addition to starting on the last row of the grid, they will be given additional drive-through penalties to make up the other places they are due to be penalised by. F1 is a joke. Quote
Tazio Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 They have pretty much killed the sport by introducing the hybrid engines. And no new engine manufacturers will come into the sport for fear of looking stupid. Quote
