Re: It's getting harder to be a Williams fan

I feel sorry for Russell here, he was the class of the F2 field last year but he's not going to be able to prove anything while trundling around at the back. Meanwhile Norris and Albon, who were less impressive in F2, have been presented with far greater opportunities. I don't see what Russell coul...

Re: 2019 Australian Grand Prix Race Thread

Congrats to the Finn. I hope he wins the WDC this year. It's almost a given that Merc will win again this year. Last year he was clearly put into a support role after proving to be as fast as Hammy the previous year. Poor McLaren. I'm happy for Honda. They proved it wasn't them. At the very least, ...

Re: Honda Have Already Surpassed Renault

Honda should surpass Renault. They're Honda. They're the largest manufacturer of racing engines in the world. What's staggering is how many missteps McLaren has taken. They have become a complete joke of a team. Just like that, they're back to the worst power plant on the grid with a bad chassis.

He wins if he has the best car or if Vettel does some Vettel thing. He's not a better driver. They're on equal footing and it will come down to the cars.

I don't feel for Bottas at all, honestly. He got the golden ticket. While he's had some bad luck, he simply isn't as good as the other 5 drivers from the top factory teams.

Honestly, this is what tons of passing looks like. We all want more overtaking in F1, but this is just driving in a circle and passing people. This is the polar opposite. And I don't know about you guys, but I think I would rather watch Monaco.
