So who is watching? Good luck for your faves!
Portimao looks amazing and love how it sounds/spelled, I wish I could travel there!

I would be so surprised if Mercedes change current line up during the season but we don't know what goes on behind closed doors. Bottas still got points maybe not what Merc expected as he was on pole but thats racing. His team mate is ruthless and a winner. Nkt gonna give up easily unlike Bottas, sorry but look at other races.
I see the rich race of the year might have fans, Monaco, yeah as no race last year they need people to pay high tkt prices to watch. Nice for fans but we all know it will be more VIP attendees than real actual F1 fans. Not mentioning the boats either.

this is going to be spicy

Looks like a typical PR response. The younger drivers today and their teams are so aware of their image. Can you imagine Kimi or Hamilton or Rosberg apologising to each other after their runs back in the day.

Someone at Formula 1 needs to update the constructors championship graphics, because apparently McLaren are still running Renault engines.

Nice to see Nikita doesn’t learn

And Helmut.. He is the same. Feels like to get hired by Red Bull you have to be arrogant.

Definitely. On that note - I’m surprised Alonso has never driven for them then

 

[Rubythefirebat]

My call... Cyril as Borat

 

[Rubythefirebat]

Poor perez

 

[Red hair dont care]

So after what I said about Seb he actually gets through to Q3 for the first time in ages! Should have said this earlier then shouldn't I ??!!! What went on with Danni Ric? Missed the start of quali

Does anyone know what are these black rings? I saw Charles and Lando have it too.

It looks like one of those smart rings. Basically collects health data like a watch but meant to be more accurate - I think, anyway!

 

[StephenTJackson]

Still cannot really work out who is at fault if there is 1 person. Obviously tv comms say George but it is slippy

It's such a horrific crash, but the camera angles we've seen so far, it's hard to say, fairly 50/50, might just be fairest to say it was a horrible racing incident

Hoping for a great Sunday for McLaren, both in top 10, good chance for McLaren to potentially haul in Racing Point and get P3 in constructors.

But I'm definitely not ready for Carlos and Lando to break up.

Definitely rooting for McLaren tomorrow, since as of next year I'll be wearing orange. I've kinda been team-less since Daniel left Redbull, never warmed to Renault.

Biggest problem with the new super circuits is that they are all basically the same. All designed by the same person Hermann Tilke - hence the term Tilke-drome.

They need to have different designers for new F1 tracks or at least make sure the designer doesn't make the same track twice or however many times Tilke has in his case.

Good thing about 2020 is getting to go racing at these traditional circuits like Mugello, Portimao, and I'm very excited for Imola. Mugello was a incredible spectacle, if a bit worrying with the crash.

Mugello was such an entertaining race. I love a circuit with the old school gravel traps, certainly gives the drivers an incentive to keep their driving tidy!
It'll definitely be lovely to see Imola raced on again.

I get the feeling Valtteri is starting to get really frustrated playing second driver. Did he kneel before the national anthem? I thought I saw him standing but I could be wrong. I know others don't kneel, but I think it really says something if he didn't when Lewis is his teammate (not saying he is racist or anything).
Did everyone else catch Valtteri having a word to Toto during the Mercedes celebration photos? Toto looked to say something quite stern to him.

 

[Red hair dont care]

George update

Bless him.
Do think he might have had a little chat with Toto

 

[Rubythefirebat]

Love the suits! I did not like when it had papaya on their croch area.

 

[Rubythefirebat]

The car is now even out yet, but look at Lando! His skin improved so much! Boy is glowing! I hope they launch his skin care routin too.

 

[so_u_thinkimskinnyyy]

Oh my god Lando. Why do I love this idiot so much? His Insta story is him being his stupid self.

almost as good as when he made himself dizzy and fell over his own shadow trying to kick a ball

Thank God he is ok. Do agree with Ricciardo though about how disrespectful it was to feature replays of the crash. Grosjeans poor family must have been traumatised just waiting for news and the replays were properly stomach churning. I know they have to fill the time on a live broadcast but can you imagine if the worst had happened and his family were seeing this?

Just seen Grosjeans Instagram video and to be talking with just the injuries he has is nothing short of a miracle.

I'm gonna sort of disagree with Ricciardo, the first thing they showed was Grosjean in the medical car, only once we knew he was out of the car and basically fine, did they show replays of the crash. The broadcasting team are very good at cutting away from very serious live accidents quickly and not showing replays until they know the driver is okay.
