Any F1 fans? How about that last race? Down
To the last lap of the last race for a championship. Wow!

Good stuff today, had a lot of fun watching.

I do enjoy me some formula 1 racing. I just always forget to watch it.

Yeah, it sucks when its 11 am and you realized you forgot about it. I think next year we’re gonna plan to go to the COTA race.

I’m hoping Haas can compete with next year’s rules. Be nice to be able to root for the American team.

I’m a rider of KTM’s so admittedly i lean towards redbull. I was bummed when Riccardo (and even Vettel years ago) left as he was the likeable driver on the team, but i can’t complain about this years results. Next year is concerning since they are essentially taking over the power unit from Honda.
I’d love to have a US team do well, I’m not sure how long Haas will remain in F1 if they don’t at least get back to being competitive with the midfield teams. Would also love to see an American driver do well someday.
Looking forward to seeing how Russell does in the Mercedes next year. Hopefully they don’t crap all over him like they did to Bottas.

Appears Mazepin won’t be driving for Haas

Hello yes I haven't missed a race in 10 years. AMA

Here is a Beginners Guide to getting into F1.
Step 1: Get Netflix password from your buddy
Step 2: Watch Formula One: Drive to Survive (start with season one)
Step 3: Enjoy your new life as a sophisticated, classy Motorsports fan
Step 4: Try to keep all the sexy European babes off you (or don’t) once they find out you’re into F1

Looks like Ferrari could be a contender this year. If today’s qualifying indicates anything.

Nice to see Haas starting top 10. Surprised to see McLaren so far back. Hoping for Bottas to finish in front of Hamilton.

Looks like cars running Ferrari engines have the early advantage. Mercedes appear slow and the bulls have a reliability issue

Glad they’re going ahead with the race. Nasty wreck for Schumacher during qualifying.

That spot Mick crashed at is going to be a problem during the race. Im pretty sure both RedBulls had issues there as well.

Really hoping checo gets a strong start and Red Bull/Ferrari fight each other all race. If leclerc gets by him on lap 1 Ferrari will run away with it I think, their race pace advantage is huge.

Yeah, i don’t have a lot of hope he’ll be able to keep first for a long stretch of the race initially.
But i assume there will be numerous safety cars during the race. I just feel like Checo has a disadvantage on restarts, he seems to drop positions more often than not.

Yeah, will likely be similar to Miami this year, so $2k for a weekend ticket. Hotels will be insane

I'm sure, and that's why between that and the traffic (both actually changing roads for this and all these people moving around), I wouldn't want to be there unless I was actually partaking in the race stuff.

Yeah unless you’re there for the Grand Prix there’s no reason to be in Vegas that weekend.

Race starts in a few hours (midnight).

Red Bull needs to figure their crap out or they’re gonna end up a mid field team this year

Yeah, i think Redbull is in a lot of trouble. I imagine they finish 2nd in the constructor because you can do upgrades all season to fix reliability, but you can’t upgrade the power unit on a reliable car.
I think they probably have 2 of the 4 fastest cars on the track, but Leclerc is on a whole different level in the Ferrari right now. Im a fan of Sainz, but he just seems to have the oddest luck, so he’s probably not taking points from Leclerc
-
I don’t really love the sprint qualifying format. But it’s more racing to watch with points on the line so I guess I shouldn’t complain.
-
Ridiculously tight track.

Was great entertainment this morning, hopefully doesn’t lead to a boring race tmrw. Ver/Lec/Per should be fun.
-

I think Formula 1 is going to have to have some difficult decisions with race tracks in the near future. I think they only signed a 5 year deal to have this race, and if the track isn’t adjusted, i doubt they renew.

Ferrari 1-2 tomorrow?

Ferrari 1-2 tomorrow?
Could be, i’m not sure Sainz will survive unscathed tomorrow with his luck lately. Hard to tell what Max would have done had he not messed up on his flying lap.
Hopefully a fun race, I’m expecting some carnage.

LMAO at the grid walk reporter thinking he was interviewing Patrick Mahomes. It was Paolo Banchero.

Ferrari has had a rough stretch here. looks like that has opened the door for Mercedes to get back into the hunt.

The decision making on that team is incredibly questionable and it always happens at the worst times.

The last few weeks would be even worse for them if Carlos hadn’t blatantly ignored orders from the pit wall.
I don’t know what their strategy team does to prepare for a race, but it’s not working

Agreed, it looks like everyone but Sainz (who im happy for) was pissed off about the outcome that day. Sainz standing up to team orders was the best strategy made by a Ferrari team member all day.
This reddit thread is an interesting read.

Ferrari got the strategy right today. Too bad the engine blew up. Happy to see Haas in the points. They had some good speed.

finally was able to watch the french gp. good lord wtf is Ferrari doing? Leclerc can't get his crap together and the strategy team seems to be intentionally trying to screw with sainz.

I'm not into it but watching the Netflix show seems like a great gateway. It's good even if you aren't into the sport

I learned about it at a pretty young age, between Ayrton Senna Super Monico GP, and watching movies like Grand Prix with my dad. So street circuits and road courses are where my racing interest developed. Then all of the nuances they have for races that dictate strategies. Formula 1 has really become accessible for most people in the last few years with the ESPN coverage.
The series on Netflix would be a good entry point for someone that wanted to get into some of the extra stuff that goes on. Grand Prix was good, but its from the 60’s i think, so it may not resonate well with some wanting to jump in. The movie Rush was really good at telling the story of James Hunt and Niki Lauda, and was pretty entertaining.
If i were to tell someone where to start, i’d say watch one of the time trials on Saturday morning for qualifying. It starts with 20 drivers, in Q1 they take the top 15 times and they go to Q2, then they send the top 10 times to Q3 and Q3 winner gets pole. That usually only last an hour. And the races are short as well. It’s not out of the norm to get races completed in 90 minutes. As opposed to the 3 hour marathons of nascar.

Really an incredibly bad year for Ferrari strategy. I wouldn’t be surprised if Mercedes finishes above them for 2nd in the constructors Championship. All they have to do is stay out of the way and let Ferrari self destruct. I was hoping Mercedes would finish 4th or lower behind McLaren and Ferrari this year after dominating for so long.

Yeah, Merc has been the definition of consistency outside of Russell’s ill timed and confusing dnf. But i don’t see anyway that they finish lower than third (and most likely second). Even when Ferrari has a good race strategy , the drivers find a way to eff up.

I think Max and Redbull are going to runaway with this which is a bummer. But the second place fight for the constructors should be highly entertaining.

Bummer the rain shortened the Japan Grand Prix but some good racing when they finally got going. Was hoping for a better year for Haas. Anyone going to Austin?

Good start to the new season. Looks like redbull has a large gap from the rest of the teams. But 3rd through 14 or so was fun to watch.

Agreed. There’s even an American driver to pull for this season. I’ll take another “down” year for Mercedes as well. They were too dominant for too long. Looking like a fun season.

I made this meme as a joke a few weeks ago but for those of you that follow the NFL could create some talking points. I have been watching F1 since 2011 so well versed. A lot of people have been hopping on the train since Drive to Survive.
It's fun and would love to bbs about it.
