Williams need to pull their finger out and give Stroll a half decent car so he can wrangle it onto the podium and front row like he did in Baku and Monza.

The only thing happening when Williams pulls a finger out is poo poo spewing everywhere.

How are you going to react when your girlfriend and 2017 Ferrari driver Romain Grossjean makes it on the podium this year?

Half sarcasm half genuine question but... is there a driver on the grid that hasn't won in every series they competed in?

For the sake of argument, let's go with "Participated in enough races to have a legitimate shot at the championship" (read: full time season) and WDCs since 2005 because effort looking up the whole grid.

Vettel was in Formula 3 Euro Series but did not win, only coming in 2nd. Rosberg same deal, only topping out at 4th in that series, but winning GP2. Alonso got 4th in F3000 before getting picked up for F1. Button took 3rd in British F3 before making the jump up.

Lewis and Kimi have won all the championships in the feeder series they were in.

e: If you want to get technical about it, Kimi failed to win in WRC, but I'm limiting it to the FIA ladder because he already had a WDC by that point.

the tv graphics, heineken hot laps, etc don't really matter because the one thing that makes f1 good or not is if you have multiple teams with race winning cars which can't be forced

anyway the new logo is good, the heineken hot laps etc are dumb but probably inevitable given the commercialization of All Sports, the tv graphics need to be tweaked for visibility, and mercedes are cheats who are bringing the great sport of Grand Prix Motor Racing into severe disrepute

Hold for quali, hold! Its not real till q, they're doing practice programs

Do we know what all tires were used in FP2 even?

Mercedes doesn't get cheating oil this year so no "qualifying mode". If Hamilton doesn't get free poles he won't be as unstoppable as last year.

The top airbox camera location still gives good on-boards, they just need to play around a bit with some of the other locations. There's a bit of a limitation in that the rules require advanced notice to the teams of any new camera locations, but the positioning of existing ones can be tweaked. Practice sessions are a good time for the broadcast team to work out which shots work better.

I'd like to see the halo itself used for camera mounting, but it looks like that's not possible at the moment.

Put it at the base of the thong bit. Should be out of the way enough, and can be mostly flush by covering it with some aero. Get some drat good views there too!
