I'm so loving pumped for Melbourne....the top three, close together, the midfield (basically all but Williams) super close together, and the backsetter with Kubica at the wheel (partly).

I can't wait to get up in the middle of the night for FP3 to have all my hopes and dreams shattered, only to watch Mercedes march towards the next WDC/WCC:

That's a good question. I was just poo poo posting and didn't really put any thought into it. Pascal was looked at pretty highly there for a bit. He was considered Mercedes golden boy, more so than Ocon, only to end up fading back into the abyss of a dead and stupid German series, known as DTM. But other than that, I can't think of anyone off the top of my head.

Gonzo, unfortunately you are the Jamarcus Russell of this thread.

I'll raise you Stoffel Vandoorne. That guy was supposed to be a wunderkind and is instead massively underachieving in formula E

To put into context just how poor that is let's look at a selection of other Formula E people he compares unfavourably to-

Filipe Massa
Whirline
Piquet Jr (this fucknugget managed to win a championship even)
Vernon Kay

Yes let’s all sit here in silence and not discuss any aspect of testing ever for fear that it might be false and we’ll be shamed with some term somebody made up a decade ago that makes no sense. Much more preferable.

I fell for this myself. My toxx last year was Waffles besting Alonso in points and well... I ate a ban for it. I didn't know Pascal had moved over to the FE as well, is he making GBS threads up the place too?

After 4 races:

Pascal is 5th on 30 points

Stoffel is 22nd, only ahead of two guys who have only done 1 race each. He has zero points. Of his 4 starts he has crashed twice and finished well out of the points twice.

There's more at play than 'lol waffles poo poo,' Wehrlein is in Mahindra, a well established team with very good past performance, and a car that looks to be one of the best in the grid. Vandoorne is in a beans new team still getting used to their car, doesn't have a factory effort behind it (yet, HWA will be Mercedes next year) and formula e strategy. However, I think VAN has made a lot of mistakes so far this season, and he's paid by scoring none points, and wehrlein has performed excellently, even after missing the first race because of contract issues

Something clearly gives out at the rear of the car. I'm not sure there would have been anything Gasly could have done.
