McLaren doing well but definitely need to improve pit stops over 3 seconds both cars recently

The pit stops are definitely pedestrian at McLaren, in a tight midfield losing a second or two is going to cost places big style. Has to be looked at by Seidl and the team.

As much as I will stand on my podium and endlessly wax lyrical about Lando Norris, who I love and adore more than any F1 driver ever. He is the cutest, most adorable guy ever, but I'm also not totally ignorant to the fact that George Russell is a better driver than him and more likely to win titles. But my heart belongs to Lando Norris.

Snap, but with Daniel

I cannot wait for them two to be teammates. Fingers crossed husband and i will get to Silverstone in 2021 (moved from this year).

George hits very different for me with all his shirtless pictures as well. Like George is so hot, but I also think he kind of looks like a young Mr Bean sometimes.

The Mercedes car feels like it's where he belongs. And he does suit Mercedes overalls as well.

Totally agree. He is hot (no Daniel though)

Anyone else a little disappointed that Lewis hadn't said anything on social media (that I've seen) about George driving. I know hes poorly, but.....

F1 time
Missed qualifying yesterday as out, freedom!!!
Who do we think is gonna win today?
Lewis and Perez could be interesting, but how long will P stay up the top and will be be told move over for Max?

I think if Perez is closer to pole they might just eat him after the last race but that’ll be it (for this season anyway

I love the Alpine blue! Also loving the front of the Mercedes but what is with the AMG splash?

 

[Rubythefirebat]

I know we just started this season, but I am shocked that Ocon is doing well. He is great today! I actually thought he would be behind Alonso from day one.

Does anyone want to play a pre season prediction game?

1. Best race
2. Worst race
3. Driver of the year
4. Biggest let down
5. Silly season
6. Top 3 drivers championship

Love this!
1 Baku/ Turkey
2 Monaco if it does go ahead / Abu Dhabi if the season has been decided before then
3 Lewis
4 Mazapan hasn’t he already done so? If there is an award for detestable debut F1 driver - I would give it to him.
5 Charles Leclerc fighting to keep his Ferrari seat - sorry @Rubythefirebat
6 Lewis, Valterri Max

Great to read your F1 stories.

How the fuck did he walk away from that

If I had a pound for every non-F1 that asks me why Brands Hatch isn't on the calendar I could retire!!! People seem genuinely surprised when I tell them Brands hasn't had a F1 race since the mid-80's.

 

[Hereiam44]

Anyone think there was more to Alex being retired early than engine problems?

 

[Saddlesoap]

Just seen the music video

I need Drive to Survive to start to put me on til the season begins.

Not seen a picture of the race suits yet? Can't see it on Insta.

Sure it’s from America? I see it as a way to show solidarity which has gone global with the BLM movement. However I believe BLM is too political having said that, I have nothing against them using their platform to promote equality, sexism, etc, I actually think it’s good of them but it’s hard now cause everything is going extreme!!
As a Brit, majority of the people I know would not take the knee as they associate BLM with Marxism but they are by NO means racist

Must say, I thought this was a good shirt. Touched on many issues. Having said that, I think there should be more race inclusive i.e. Arabs, eastern Asians, etc who sadly have also suffered a lot of hate and abuse

I am fine with them using their platform, though not sure before the race is the right time. But the kneeling is just missing their point. I had to google it, to know what they meant with it. We would do a 1 min silent, or salute. But I am sure in Japan there would be other protocol. Thats why I do not like it.


Edit: just saw your edit, I agree. The problem is they are international, they should think about other nations too.

 

[Red hair dont care]

So gutted for George, any time he gets close to points it just seems to end in disaster

It does, worst track for him.
Love your name btw

 

[Rubythefirebat]

This year starts great for Lando! He did well earlier, but he arrived now.

Nooo

LeClerc on the radio, "Mazepin will never change!"

I need that Fidget spinner with his head on it

There must be something about Red Bull drivers and their eyes. Because Carlos Sainz, former Red Bull programme driver - amazing eyes. Jaime Alguersuari from years back also had the most incredible eyes.

Yeah, everything about Red Bull seems toxic. Right to the top with Christian Horner and Helmut Marko. Not a pleasant environment for anyone coming in to the team.

Helmut especially, i remember listening to a podcast with Lando Norris and when he was in F3(???) he had a conversation with Helmut and the first thing Helmut said to Lando was “how heavy is your car?”
or something like that and lando basically said erm i’m not 100% maybe like 400? and helmut went “max would know” and shut the conversation down there and then so it just shows how much they love max there, it’s always max and the other driver, not both drivers as a team

 

[Rubythefirebat]

Did anyone watch ferrari's Q&A with Carlos? His answers seemed so controlled. Pizza, Monza, red.. I mean boy is all about burgers, why can't he has a non-italian favourite food?

 

[Red hair dont care]

So not a spectacular race top 3 started in top 3. I know it's down to the tv hosts but we don't see much of the lower down racing yep top drivers sell the race but even Crofty said not seen much of Mick S. Not just him but cannot remember seeing Stroll. Ah maybe just me being moany cow.

Look how grey he is already. He's only been at Ferrari 5 minutes!

Although he is the definition of a silver fox.

I want to believe it is just the lighting! If I can go this summer I wont even care to get a pic with him, just show me your hair!
I like the burgundy butt, not the highlighter green logo.
