Both Alonso and Button are poo poo qualifiers. I'd be fine with them being 11th and 12th and then seeing what happens in the race.

Honestly, I think we will get a couple of surprises from the McLaren's this year.At least some that aren't explosion or electrocution related.

And for what it's worth the quali format was rad to watch trackside, whilst hearing the commentators and having the f1 app open on my tablet with full list of drivers and times

Until the last 4 minutes when it was empty track and even the commentators didn't know what to say

That Ferrari turbo noise sound as good in person? I quite like the engine noises this year.

Even the McLaren low rpm growl doesn't sound sick anymore.

I have to say, I was prepared all last year to laugh my rear end off at Haas, a NASCAR team owner who decided that he fancied going into F1, then started making outlandish claims like he could match Ferrari. But instead they've captured my heart.

He was humble and seemed excited to just be involved in his interview.

Just caught up with the race on Wikipedia, the two Mercs and Vettel on the podium, exciting start to the season guys.

Seriously though I'm surprised the end of last season has carried through to the start of this, as in Rosberg winning, Vettel being poo poo and a liability, Kimi being Kimi, Hamilton having issues, Alonso dying again, Max being Max, and the rest of them I don't care about still being there.

Uhh it was one of the best races in a long time.

Somehow the drop in posters have worse opinions than the regular.

So far we've had "lol these engines are poo poo let's bring back a worse formula"

And "didn't watch the race here's my expert opinion"

Should have specified the "engine noise" thing.

This formula would be perfectly fine if they opened up development.

This.

And I personally think areo is a big problem with the current racing. Not sure what the solution would be to that.

The cars are plenty fast, and actually sound unique and good this year.
