I think this is the point where Mercedes just turns down the engine and cruises to the end. Ferrari is going to go balls out, get a few wins, blow a few engines, crash into a few walls and Mercedes is going to simply cruise grabbing top 5 spots consistently to yet another double championship. The t...

No.

Anyone want to bet against that?

Most unpredictable race on the schedule, and yet.

You speak of Bahrain as if its indicative of this season, like China and Australia didn't happen. Sure, Ferrari got unlucky in Bahrain. Luck plays a part. But they were smoked in China and Australia as well, from a team that was "slower" in the preseason. Mercedes layed it on thick about how slow th...

We should just rename him Toto 'Cried' Wolff at this point ;) But jokes aside, Mercedes have been doing this for a while now. People should know they don't show their hand until they need to. I don't really see it as being dishonest though, they're just not showing their hands. I'll (try and) make ...

How they lack the pace, Ferrari are the favorites, red bull is really fast, how they don't know where Ferrari is getting its speed from, all up until Q2 when they "find" a way to either narrow the gap that existed to that point or outright beat Ferrari. Then there were the two races where Ferrari w...

I don’t see repeated claims that Mercedes are behind, Mercedes dominated 2 or the first 3 races. You haven't noticed Wolff and Hamilton telling the world that pretty much every weekend, then. Including this one where they said there was no magic bullet which would allow them to catch up to Ferrari....

Altair

Yeah, because they arranged for Charles to drive into the wall, right? Must be hard to see a faster overall package losing due to team/driver errors against a team and drivers who haven't put a foot wrong. especially as this is Ferrari's third season with a car that could have won the championship....

Altair

That was odd, Ferrari are supposed to be better on the straight yet Vettel didn't gain any time over Hamilton's provisional pole lap on the back straight. May have been the tow. I think Ferrari's advantage has been exaggerated, tbh. Bottas' pole is a lap record I believe, so I think they've just be...

Ha.

Not much chance of that.

2021 can't come soon enough.

That's not bold.

Bold is saying Ferrari won't win a race this year.

Yawn. So glad I record this so I can watch the race on fast forward and not feel like I've wasted my time. Even watching it on fast forward will be wasting some of your time though. True. Only 10 minutes though. Hopefully Liberty Media's proposed changes for 2021 will sort the sport out in this are...

I guess we can just crown the champion now and not need to watch the rest of the year.

That's nice at least.

Altair

Stroll has two points.

Altair

If the have nots left and made their own series I wouldn't be sad.

The closest racing is in tge midfield anyways, why not make it official?

I support what I call a soft Budget cap. $200 million but for every $1 spent over that teams pay a 10% tax into a tax pool dividend amoung the teams at the end of the season. Could even put it on an incremental scale. >$200m 10% tax >$250m 12% tax >$300m 15% tax Etc. not enough of a hit. Let's say ...

Is F1 boring or is Australia boring?

It sucks the the season usually needs to start with a whimper.

Altair

Lance Stroll showing the haters he can drive.

Altair

I really wanted to be excited about this season,
but once again, the champship can more or less be determined from the first race.

F1 is in a sad sorry state for the fans.

Altair

Is lance getting a salary or a allowance?

Altair

Indy isn't that popular here in canada is it?

At least not compared to Formula 1. If it was TSN or sportsnet would pick it up, instead of showing poker.

Altair

I may have a soft spot for ugly things, but I kind of like it.

Also don't think a F1 team has done their reveal in Canada before

Altair

Beautiful car. Needs a touch more yellow, but still very good.
Hope it performs well

Stroll.

He was decent in his first season, this season should be wiped from memory given how utterly garbage the Williams car was this year.

Altair

One star. The series will continue to be boring until A) The gap between the Mercedes, Ferrari and redbull compared to the rest of the teams narrows, and more than just those 3 teams and 6 drivers can consistently fight for podiums B) the title isn't locked up with two more meaningless races to go. ...

Boring season? Really?

Wake me up when a team other than red bull Ferrari or Mercedes can consistently challenge for a podium.

Or when the drivers championship isn't decided with two races left to go in the season.

Either one will do.
