Man the wide flat cars really look good. Compared to the skinny tall ones at least.

The cars look weird from certain angles but they really look great on track. It was only a few years ago we had skinny cars with skinny high rear wings and dicknoses... Shoot I think the high noses of 2012 or whatever looked worse than the dicknoses.

It was nice seeing cars with grip again during qualifying. The speed thru the quick turns and the small window for a super fast turn in were refreshing to see.

Malaysia is a good track for F1 cars and one of the few new ones that actually showcases the cars and what they can do. It'll be good this year. It's not that great for bikes tho and killed Simoncelli so I have mixed feelings.

Honda developed this engine entirely on the back of single cylinder prototypes and only put it together as a V6 late December to find out how hosed it was. No loving words.

I have a cost saving proposal for Liberty. Bill Burr has been summarizing F1 pretty great from a new casual viewer perspective. He also has a helicopter license. What if they make him a commentator/emergency chopper pilot. Win/Win. The savings would be as significant as Trump donating his paycheck.

From what I gather Ducati has historically been very difficult to drive for everyone but a handful of drivers, I think that might be a symptom of the desmodromic valve engine.

They've made strides the last year or two but J Lo hasn't caught up with it yet.

I always have trouble correctly taking that corner too, but then I'm not an F1 driver.

I don't think I ever did when I played GT. Couldn't ever get turn 1 and 2 and Spoon at Suzuka either, which was annoying cause I could hook up the rest of the lap. Everyone should give stoll a break.

Still confused as to why it wasn't hilarious that a lovely pay driver got hosed over because another driver offered to pay more. That's A+ poo poo and absolutely what I'd expect to hear in F1.

I'm a "purist" who likes the idea of the control being in my hands and not abs. That said, there isn't one valid argument against abs on a bike besides "I don't want it." Bikes with abs stop faster than a rider on an identical bike without 100% of the time.

It's cool man, F1 has been so boring that updates like a driver being gone for 2 years can slip thru. I don't know any of the bottom half of the field because the pre-race coverage is just slightly more boring than the races.

Thank god Liberty started those highlights on youtube or I wouldn't be an F1 fan this year.
