There's a haint in the foothills of NC; the haint of the #3 chevy. The rich have formed a holy alliance to exorcise it but they'll never fucking catch him.

We might get Vettel vs Bottas, but Hamilton is going to run away the whole time.

They don't have a german driver to protect, so they probably won't be sabotaging his engine much either.

Finland is close enough.

I haven't seen any of the new cars out and moving until FP2 just now, and I've decided I like the overall proportions of the cars this year way better (tyres and wings look much better) but I'm still not convinced by the shark fins.

We won't really know where everybody is at until Q2 or Q3. One would hope that Ferrari have learnt their lesson from last year and haven't played their cards too early but who knows.

Would be odd to be sandbagging that much more than Merc in practice, as Merc turns everything down significantly for practice and their real pace is always hidden until qualifying. Hamilton's race runs pace was 1+ seconds quicker than the Ferrari's - that is some significant gap.

As you say we won't really know until after qualifying tomorrow but the signs are looking good for a very dominate Hamilton year.

By the way, when I was buying a domain for my crappy blog, I also bought assf1.com

I don't really know what to do with it. I could just put lots of pictures of grid girls' (and drivers'?) bums on there but tbh I'm not a sleaze toad. So if any of you have any good ideas, I'm listening. Maybe something to do with Haas?

~1 second across the top 5 is pretty cool, and unless Merc are really dropping an anchor they'll not be comfortable.

Italy and Romania were the big "Both sides" players. Hard to say how they werent successful (i guess assistance by the allies?). Finland was just pissed that germany was burning things on the way out, barely anyone died.
