I can't even imagine watching a qualifying session in which the 4th through 9th best teams are basically on top of each other and expecting the race to be boring.

it's austrlia man the mercedes are on pole just like last year but let's ignore that vettel won that race by 5 seconds and mercedes has a history of excessive tire degradation over the span of a grand prix and also that ferrari were incredibly competitive last season and threw it away because vettel is loving poo poo

let's just ignore literally ALL of that and just be the most feckless spineless idiotic loving fans that we can be and kneejerk poo poo all the loving time because the height of comedy was in 2006 when kimi said he was having a poo poo

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a starting grid with a greater potential for a massive crash. It’s 1-5 is just trouble waiting to happen, and then 6- 20 is all rookies surrounded by crash magnets.

Vettel only won because nobody knows how to pass in dirty air in these cars and he got a lucky break with strategy and safety car shenanigans. The Mercedes was still the fastest car and it will be again this season.

Mercedes being good in Australia doesn't mean they will have the fastest car in the other 20 races just as it didn't mean that last year. It's a weird track.

Yearly reminder Australia is a poo poo hole country of convicts who made an appropriate circuit and the performance there shouldn't be looked at too hard.

Yeah, Melbourne seems really weird for first-race-syndrome. It's as if everything gets exaggerated; if your car runs really well it's well ahead, if it's a bit off it's nowhere.

I've never forgotten '97 where Williams qualified with some absurd margin - well over a second to the rest of the field, and yet by the third race they were practically falling over themselves to lose to Ferrari.

A sentient puddle could have won the WDC in that car - the Williams was often >1s a lap quicker.
Noted extreme fraud and national embarrassment Villeneuve barely clinching it is one of the saddest travesties in the history of the sport.

It's basically the UK Sky feed. I've been away from F1 for a while and it's been a pleasant surprise to get pretty decent coverage.

Anyone got the official web package - is it worth it? When they say race archive, do they mean archive or just selected weekends?

I’d blame the drivers for William’s performance that year.


Villeneuve is a fraud champion and HHF was very hot and cold his entire Formula career.

Teds post quali/race stuff he does is great. Hopefully he just hasn't been flown out for this race for some odd reason.

So with Max likely to take out a bunch of drivers at the start of the race, who you guys got for podium?

Hamilton, Lando, Sainz looking the goods for me!
