£195 for the year? It was cheaper than that last year, wasn't it? I can't really afford that all in one go so I am not sure what I'll be doing going forwards this year.

So annoyed that this is life for the next 5 or so years.

Really looking forward to this

I like it

Can someone much smarter than me explain what the hell is going on with that Alfa front wing? I know they said it would be a radical design but I didn't know they meant this radical. Has to be a loophole they think they can exploit or something?

I think it looks quite nice. I'm sceptical about them but I guess they must have the capital if they've got Haas on board. I've seen them on the boxer Genady Golovkin before as well.

It was funny reading on here before Bottas joined Mercedes (I have been a long time lurker) people thought Lewis was scared of Bottas joining the team as Lewis didn't want to share car data with him. Do people still think he is scared of Bottas? Almost nobody thought that. My memory is people being...

I feel for Bottas a bit. He is a good racer but has come up against a great racer.

What the heck happened to Sebastian's upper lip???

I have to agree with Lewis. Something about 2 wheels is so much more fun than 4. I only have a boring road car but my R6 never fails to put a grin on my face. Though I came off a lot worse than him when i dropped mine! Did it put a grin on your face then too? :-P Seriously I hope you weren't injure...

Perez for me. He is a serial podium finisher if he gets a sniff at it and the only Formula 1.5 driver to finish on the podium this season.

I think he is better than he gets the credit for.

Way to easy for Merc this time around again, a 2 from me. No matter what the top teams do, they will drive to top positions without any hazzle, some even get waved through. Merc have now won >75% off the races during this hybrid era and it doesn't look like it will end anyway soon. Hyperbolic much?...

First race I probably viewed on TV was late 90's early 00s. I wasn't fully sucked into the sport until I went to my first race at Silverstone. I can still feel the shaking the V10 Williams gave me. Became a JPM fan that day. I rarely miss a race and I think from about 2005/6 I have missed maybe 10 r...

It's a 4 for me. It could well have been a 5 if Ferrari/Vettel didn't drop the ball.

The first half of the season was fantastic and it was all so close, i really thought Vettel was going to take it this year. The points do not show the whole picture.

They are making a point... They should focus on the racing... Mine wasn't as good as yours. I'll give myself an A+ for effort. Not sure what you mean, but hey, get another A+ from me! They are focusing on the racing, things like these behind the scenes happen all the time. And apparently FI started...

I'm going to be optimistic for Honda and say a slight improvement. I think they're determined to not make this a mess for any longer than it has been going on already

But he is the most successful Finn in terms of wins. I don't think that's a disingenuous claim to make.

I agree with Pokerman that "Titles>Wins>Poles" in the grand scheme of things.

Great race. A solid 9/10 for me. Not the result I wanted initially as I wanted Lewis to wrap it up but Kimi did a great job from the first lap and it seems Ferrari nailed the strategy so there are no complaints from me. Those last 10 laps! I was pacing around the room :lol: I am actually glad Kimi w...

Junglist

Apparently both Mercs have a problem with a water pump. At least in the Finnish broadcast they were showing that Valtteri's car was already fixed but they're still working on Lewis' car and it's unsure if the car will be ready on the grid. I haven't yet heard any tweets or anything about it though....

It's only harsh for Seb as he was/is in the title hunt... But he shouldn't be making those mistakes. Hamilton's reaction was quite telling, he looked bemused https://streamable.com/z8fi9 He looked knackered! Ha, on second viewing he does look tired. Ferrari storm to victory incoming? Go on Kimi!

Junglist

And if he didn't get penalised what message does it send to the drivers that did?

I've gone for Vettel win but it will be close.

Sebastian has been off form for the last few races, sadly it happened last year as well, but I like to give him the benefit of the doubt and not pretend that the man can't race.

Watching it last year was so cringeworthy.

Someone on reddit has been making these great videos for the last few races of camera stabilization. https://streamable.com/6u9o9 That shows the attack Lewis had on Sebastian.

They did indeed.

I wouldn't say it is that unlikely. Only bad luck/brain farts has caused Vettel to not win all of the 4 previous races. Actually I'm coming round to agreeing. It's still in Sebs hands, just. If he drives at his best for the last 7 races he probably will be champion. And that is exactly what I think...

While it is absolutely possible for Vettel to pip Hamilton, he will have to do in this next 7 races what he has not come close to doing in the first 14 https://i.imgur.com/9j6hie1.jpg Source:https://i.imgur.com/9j6hie1.jpg Yeah it looks pretty unlikely.

There was an article, on my favorite news site Daily Mail, showing how Vettel had lost over 125 points to Hamilton over the last 2 years. The points swing from this year alone is at 80 points lost through his errors. Lewis only has a 30 point lead and with some tracks that Ferrari will be stronger ...

Hamilton was favorite at the start of 2018 and still is , with a clear #2 and the fastest or nearly fastest and 4 years of winning all titles it's not that easy to dethrone Mercedes.

For me, I support Hamilton as he is a British driver. But to be honest, I don't have a driver I dislike so when he leaves, assuming we don't have another Brit I'll probably follow whoever I find exciting. I own a DR 'Shoey' t-shirt so maybe I'll support him... Or at least just cheer when he does well.
