HOLY SHIT HOW DID I LET THAT SLIP THROUGH

And now my mistake is embodied on the front page for the year.



I'll fix all these over the weekend. I'll admit that it's midnight and I'm too tired for it right now

All good! No immediate hurry, i shouldn't have even worried given I'll not have to look at it again in a few hours (maybe).

Maybe I should slide the Red Bulls out of my predictions, damn.

I had them both around 5th/6th ish. Might as well put the two McLarens in the top 10 now!

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

are we doing predictions or racing manager this year?

 

[stryke]

The mercs are slipping around and still pull out comfortably. Dayumm.

 

[Psychotext]

Looks like good news for Danny.

 

[Psychotext]

Sack Ericsson. Get a new driver in.

 

[Shaneus]

Love that bird, just kicking back and watching from the sand trap. Hilarious.

Danny still 2s off :/

Pastor bins it again, too. Big surprise.

Sack Ericsson. Get a new driver in.

But who could they get in?!?

 

[hamchan]

Mark Webber is really informative and also hilarious on commentary.

*Maldonado goes off track*

"Oh that's just the standard line for him"

 

[bobnowhere]

Webber in fine form:

On Maldonado after he ran wide: " That's his standard line, I've followed him enough."
On Eriksson after his spin: "Might had got Giedo's wallet stuck under the pedals."

 

[nny]

be careful with Giedo's car!

 

[Leunam]

Holy hell that's one fine title.

 

[Shaneus]

Holy hell that's one fine title.

You're back!

 

[Razgreez]

The heck is up with the official timing graphics not updating

 

[Dead Man]

Fucking RBR, fucking Renault, fucking FIA, fucking FOM.... fucking hell. Shit, all of you are absolute shit.

Holy hell that's one fine title.

Hey, you live

 

[Jorav]

Just throwing this out there, but can RB have another manufacturer lined up in secret or does the FIA need be told about it? While they do seem slightly annoyed about the engine problems, I'd expect them to be alot more pissed.

 

[RoKKeR]

Ferrari pace keeping up. Excited for their battles with Williams this year.

 

[Tubie]

Can you imagine 2 different GPs going on at once.

Hamilton v Rosberg
Kimi v Vettel

This season won't be as bad as some may think.

 

[Paradise Brunch]

The bottom 2 are redbull and mclaren... Completely the opposite of 2011.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Engine troubles for Kvyat too....

 

[Leunam]

You're back!

Hey, you live

I was always here in spirit.

 

[yami4ct]

Ecstatic to see Ferrari doing as well as they appear to be. Their fight with Williams is probably going to be the highlight of the season for me, I expect. Heck, maybe they can get lucky and steal a number 2 or maybe even number 1 from the Mercs this year.

Red Bulls are looking depressing as hell, on the other hand. What the hell is happening? This complete collapse wasn't anything I expected. I expect (hope) they'll get it back together after a couple races, but not a good start that's for sure. Was really looking forward to seeing what Kvyat would do in a good car.

 

[Blastoise]

Feel good for Ferrari. Feel bad for RIC.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Good OP!

 

[Mastah]

Still in gimp mode. Arai confirms they can't use full power or ers properly due to lack of optimization.

No hardware issues.

FP1: Stoppage was due to data control issue for air intake on both cars.

FP2: Magnussen binned it, Button forced in power save mode because of data error

Hoping for a better tomorrow after analysing data, but still won't be at 100% performance.

And we are now after FP3 and Minardi-Honda is still 4 seconds off the pace, 1 second slower than the second slowest car, Force India. Where is any improvement coming, only in Malaysia or will they still be 4 seconds off?

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

Awesome new thread.. Thanks

Guys u know where I can stream the quali online?

 

[yami4ct]

Didn't they say it would take them until Europe to fully get up to speed? If that's true, we're going to be getting quite a few embarrassing races from Honda.

I think it'll take around Malaysia or Bahrain till Mclaren go "wait till spain we'll be 4 seconds faster..." bullcrap

 

[Hasney]

Every year I'm like "I'm not waking up early for Quali and then every year my body betrays me. I say my body, it sounds like a shit ton of banging next door and not the fun kind.

Pinnacle of motorsport, ladies and gentlemen.

 

[Draconian]

McLaren and Red Bull look absolutely shocking.

Dat OP title tho.

 

[Hasney]

Ah, my hope for that Sky F1 presenter to have left didn't happen. That's a shame.

Also, I've got Sky Go with a great picture on my PS4, but I'm tempted to get a stream anyway for Webber commentary.

Oh god Jenson, shave that upper lip.

 

[pootle]

Oh thank god, just when sky have managed to suck all of the excitement out of the buildup to the new season Lauda appears and cuts through the bullshit and all is right with the world.

 

[Addnan]

Everyone awake?

 

[Tubie]

Here we goooooo!

 

[Sloane]

Looks windy. Good thing Alonso isn't driving.

 

[Hasney]

The new graphics look nice. Very clean.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Qualifying baby, wooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Tubie]

#blessed is coming out now.

 

[Hackbert]

Good morning... Barely awake here hehe. Finally the season starts again

 

[Tubie]

kimi!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Juicy Bob]

Vettel comfortably quicker than Kimi

 

[RoKKeR]

Hello Ferrari.

 

[yami4ct]

Man, Qualifying being on finally drove it in that the new season is here. Hype is at maximum.

Ferrari looking hot.

 

[Tubie]

Vettel comfortably quicker than Kimi

Kimi, Sebastian is faster than you.

 

[hamchan]

So Vettel made the right decision to move. Poor Alonso.

 

[Shaneus]

Was that Rubens in the Williams garage?

 

[Hackbert]

Ufff. Rosberg fastest with medium tyres

 

[Mohonky]

So Vettel made the right decision to move. Poor Alonso.

Its ok, doctors will give him a doctors certifcate for the year off and recommend treatment of contract termination.

 

[Tubie]

Honda might reach Q2.

Way more than expected.

 

[yami4ct]

So Vettel made the right decision to move. Poor Alonso.

I don't think I've ever felt as bad for a professional athlete as I do for Alonso. Dude just can't catch a break.

 

[RoKKeR]

Ufff. Rosberg fastest with medium tyres

Wait he was on mediums?

Argh.
