Re: 2019 Australian Grand Prix Race Thread
My observation of the race weekend is Robert Kubica has no business driving a Formula 1 car. There are plenty of young drivers that deserve a chance. This! Ocon in by mid-season, if not sooner. Why would Ocon wants to drive this car? xD Totally pointless move and if Russell is faster than him (whic...

Re: 2019 Australian Grand Prix Race Thread
Valtteri Bottas crushes the opposition is not something I expected to type today! What a drive I think Hamilton's race got somewhat killed with the early pit stop, look what happened to Vettel he needed team orders perhaps to keep Leclerc behind. Even before in the first stint Bottas was just faste...

Re: 2019 Australian Grand Prix Free Practice & Qualifying Th
Really sad to see Williams as the new Minardi :( . It's not fair to Minardi... They look more like Pacific Racing (even their livery is a reminder) which is sadder. According to both drivers car is close to undriveable at least on this track, and they can't even touch the kerbs coz it's gonna destr...

Re: Predictions for the 2019 season
My prediction is that with so many changes in lineups people will be surprised how they over/uder rate drivers because of their car performance in previous years. Leclerc/Vettel, Gasly/Max, Ricciardo/Hulk, Giovinazzi/Raikonnen, all of them will be very close and rookies and guys that were loosing 2 ...

Really worried about Williams. If anyone has reason to do some glory runs or run a little lighter on fuel it's them given the poor headlines last week. Yet we see them put in consistently poor times. Only testing and all but it seems likely that they are firmly last place at the moment. They are te...

At this moment I'm pretty sure every team - maybe except of Williams - can top the table and beat the best time so it's really pointless to read anything from best laps (we all know it but still we are doing it every year xd).

As I alluded to in another post, it's not unreasonable to think they should've been more ahead of the game than any other team because their 2018 effort was such a dog that they would've turned their attention to their 2019 offering earlier than anyone else. That's not so easy in practice as in the...

I have a feeling that Bottas will not improve and with such a performance I see big chance he's going to be replaced by Ocon during the season.
