This was my first F1 race. I recently started listening to the Shift+F1 podcast so I wasn't entirely overwhelmed. It was a lot of fun!

I picked one team to follow based on two scientific factors: I wanted to like the livery, and I wanted to root for a middle-tier team so I'd pay more attention to the entire field during a race. This means I went with Alpha Tauri. When Gasly's car went up in flames I knew I made the right call. They did manage to get some points, and I was surprised by how invested I felt as Tsunoda made his way into the top ten.

I'm definitely hooked. The presentation was great, even if I wanted more top-down shots of the broader field. I guess that's one of the reasons people sign up for F1 TV.

welcome to F1 and the worst thread :cheers:

Root for Alpine with me, we have a nightmarish garish pink livery (will become blue and pink in a few races), WDC Alonso (currently lower in ranking than his teammate) and Estabon Ocon, formula 1 race winner rookie

Also you get the pleasure of languishing in the midpack forever and ever with me

Mission Winnow was pushed out of the sport by a combination of very biased Br*tish and A*stralian frauds who didn't support all the epic win things the Mission Winnow imitative was doing. Very sad.

My favorite bit of Jeddah last year was they spent an inordinate amount of money hosting that grand prix and lighting up buildings and everything and from the actual cameras during the race you could see none of it, it was like the race was in a featureless void. Just an epic waste of money.

Welcome to the thread!

First off you should get a primer on the thread for people to ignore:

1. Ferrari supporters. They're happy for now because they won, but it'll only take a few bad Jock Clear calls before they start throwing the racial epithets around. Ferrari throwing away championships due to incompetence is as inevitable as the sunrise. You hope for them to do well regardless because at least it's not Mercedes.

2. Mercedes supporters. Easily the most tedious of the bunch. Medcedes has dominated the sport for the last 7 years and gifted Lewis Hamilton 6 of his 7 WDC's. Because of this, this group believes Lewis to be the 2nd coming of christ just because he can open DRS and pass the entire field on the straight. They're all very quiet now because Mercedes has been fairly mediocre lately, but they're a good team so by the European leg of the season they should be back near the front. Mercedes has ruined the sport for the better part of a decade. You'll see this group throwing around a lot of asterisks like a bunch of entitled Karen's because they're still salty about something that happened 3 months ago.

3. Red Bull supporters. Lmao there aren't any. Christian Horner is a bad person, Helmut Marko is a nazi, and Max Verstappen has the personality of someone who has suffered child abuse. The only cool person in the RBR organization is Adrian Newey, but he doesn't come on camera anymore. [EDIT] Checo Perez is also cool af. And is more deserving of a WDC than Minimum Vercrappen.

4. McLaren supporters. The most popular team with the best looking car. McLaren supporters are the most level headed and good looking of the bunch. The car has some major technical flaws this year and it's not super quick but we know the lads will figure it out.

Everyone else: This thread is largely a cesspit from categories 1 and 2, but the occasional chats with everyone else are what make this thread ok.

You picked a good first team with Alpha Tauri. Pierre and Yuki are good lads, and the team is consistent enough to stay in the midfield, but competent enough that if the race gets wild they can pull out a surprise good result. The red bull connection is unfortunate, but it is what it is. If you're looking for a number 2 team to root for I suggest Alpine or Williams.

Generally, you can identify Br*tish posters by their extreme bias toward noted awful driver Lewis "Poois Shamilton" Hamilton, and anti-Italian racism. Amerikkkans can be identified as posters who talk about some streaming show about FOrmula 1. I have never seen this show but it seems like Lewis Hamilton propaganda as they tend to also be extremely biased toward Lewis "Poois Shamilton" Hamilton, and also biased against Italians. Most disgustingly they like to say very hurtful things about child-abuse victim Max Verstappen.
