Not that I'm complaining, but I would like to see the 2nd place car pace the first place car on the track. However, this is F1 and I can accept that doesn't happen anymore.

Wait a minute, there's two 'The Worst Thread' leagues. One with 27 people and the other with 40 people.

There's a guy in the 27 person one who has a score of 105, in which case he would top your list if he was in the right league :v:

Yeah there is, I was in both. Just use the link in the OP to join the bigger one, that's what I did and left the smaller.

I dunno if Matt created multiple or whatever, but yeah there were two for me too.

You can buy a house in Gary, Illinois for less than $6k, you could have thousands of living rooms for less, and a TV in every single one.

You probably have to pay income tax though.

  • I'm actually kinda glad Merc didn't win it.
  • LOT of unwarranted faith in Ferrari not loving up ITT.
  • It was a boring race.
  • You can tell it was a boring race because of how vehemently people who liked the result are trying to convince you it was a good race.
  • I'm waiting for Bahrain before I start to criticise the formula, but it still worries me how bad the racing was.
  • Qualy was interesting though.
  • I suck at predictions.
  • I seem to be in the wrong gppredictor league. What's the right one?

There was a period where Bottas looked like legitimately threatening Lewis (who didn't stop complaining throughout the race), and where Verstappen looked like taking both.
Also the melodrama of "WHO WINS, SEB OUT OF THE PITS OR HAMILTON DOWN THE STRAIGHT (behind a Verstappen pulling 1:29s)".

It was a pretty boring race, but it had it's moments.
I don't think Ferrari are going to dominate this year, I genuinely think whoever qualifies on pole and makes fewer strategy fuckups is going to win, just like every year (but it looks like something has to be wrong with your car for you to be genuinely overtaken this year, which is fairly new). It's like that pretty much every year, but I don't think the difference between Ferrari and Mercedes is as big as the difference was last year. I also don't think Ferrari win a WCC (which is what they actually want) because Kimi doesn't look up to the task of repeatedly beating either Merc.
If Lewis doesn't stop whining about Grip and Power, it'll probably be him loving up strategy and then whining about it, which will be beautiful.

Ricccyardo is a pussyclart wasteman number 2 driver. He knows Max is better than him in every single way and is already bottling it.

What a poor weekend to get rivals.com probated, and then change internet/cable providers.

Seems like 2017 might be a good season, at least I'm hopeful based on the start. A good result with Hamilton not winning by a mile, Bottas being boring, but it looked like he could have challenged for sure if he was allowed to. McLaren SAD but Alonso running in 10th for a while might mean when they get their poo poo together they can be decently competitive. I'm looking forward to the next race to see if it fades back to bland predictability, or if we get more interesting.
