Lap 1 wreck caused by Stroll in t-48 hours.  He can drive with 2 working hands.  It’s gonna be a shitshow.

And man, will there be fireworks if he takes someone else out of the race.  I am excite.

Can’t?

Ok so AM is for real. Newey/Fallows clearly have some secret about the floor no one else knows. I guess I’m rooting for a Nando WDC this year.

I am anxious to see the dynamic on HAAS this year with two drivers that don’t really care for each other.

Do we get another "suck my balls, mate" moment? Chances better than 50%.

can't believe they are going to let him drive. they need to have Drugovich do FP3 just so they aren't putting him in the car cold.

i think it goes way better than Alpine. those 2 didn't like each other before - Ocon has had issues with teammates for years

Ocon bragging about beating Alonso last year (too lazy to dig up the quote) was lulz; as if Fernando's mountain of technical failures didn't play a roll.

Both of these have pretty good potential for fireworks.

Stroll being helped out of the car according to Reddit:
 

Seriously, just take the race off. No one is taking your spot. 

[kevwun 15,936]

For real, he has the safest seat in the sport and that includes Max.

Same. With Danny out, all in on Fred and Boathouse.

And at Alpine, esp when Ocon realizes Gasly is quicker than him.

Yeah Ocon started bragging the moment the season ended with him ahead on points ... despite Alonso actually owning his ass on the track.

I don't have a problem with Gasly. I wish him well.

Same here. He needs to watch out for Ocon, esp on L1. Ocon has no probelms with hitting his teammate.

Is Ocon the least likable driver on the grid? He had to be, right?

[VABuckeye 2,472]

Stroll has zero personality and daddy bought him the ride so…

This year, that title has to be Stroll. Followed up by Stroll. And then next year, the new least favorite is likely Stroll. 

[ChickenSandwich 9,856]

Disagree. He may have the personality of a 2x4 but seems harmless. 
 

Ocon seems douche-y

[wood 11,287]

Any of y'all use the F1 Multiviewer app to watch multiple F1 TV pages simultaneously? Everyone says it's safe, and it looks awesome, but my anti-virus rejected it. Makes me a little nervous.

[kevwun 15,936]

In FP3 Red Bull came out on hards while everyone else was on softs and Max was 5th fastest on his flying lap, a half a second slower than Alonso.  The announcers think the hards are .8 slower than softs.

[Anton Chigurh 3,320]

It was also a bit too hot for the softs. They were overheating in S3. Q should be really exciting.

[kevwun 15,936]

Running all of the practice sessions during the day for desert night races makes it a lot more difficult because the temp change is so extreme.

[PittsburghTiger 6,210]

A group of us have done the F1 fantasy now for the second year. Yesterday I picked my team, with an available $100,000,000 I went:

Russell: $18.6

Alonso: $8.3

Gasly: $8.1

Hulkenberg: $4.3

Sainz: $17.2

And for constructors I went: 

Mercedes: $25.1

Aston: $6.7

 

I think I went a bit unconventional on my picks.

 

And in the FIRST MINUTE of 2023 qualifying a piece of LeClerc’s Ferrari falls off. Amazing.

Fix It Again Tony

I think you are being a bit unfair to 2x4s.

[Fastbreak 3,996]

Nice of them to give Ferrari a free pass with the red flag.

Dragging an anchor

I have always liked Alex Albon and I hope they can get that car to be competitive.

[PittsburghTiger 6,210]

Crazy, Hulkenberg in p6 after Q1 and KMag in p18.

[ConferenceRoom 6,147]

Embarrassing 

[PittsburghTiger 6,210]

Cars on track in Q2

[Fastbreak 3,996]

Max is going to take p1 in Q2. I got 5 on it.

[Fastbreak 3,996]

Where is that cam? Inside the visor?

[PittsburghTiger 6,210]

It will be very, very interesting to see how the Hamilton v Russell dynamic plays out this season.

It was damned cool.

[PittsburghTiger 6,210]

These long sweeping left-handers are really giving guys an issue.

[Fastbreak 3,996]

Albon was turning the wheel but the tires weren’t moving. It’s tucked.

[PittsburghTiger 6,210]

Well done, Stroll, Hulk & Alonso, into Q3

[PittsburghTiger 6,210]

Q3 will be pretty interesting. I like it. 

[Fastbreak 3,996]

Any of the top 6 can take pole

[texas08 1,599]

Let’s goooo

[PittsburghTiger 6,210]

The only times I have been a Ferrari fan were with Schumacher and Vettel but, I want them to be good. The sport needs them to be good.

That Aston is a great looking car under the lights

[McCroskey 1,491]

Leclerc only doing 1 Q3 lap?  Wonder what that's about.

[PittsburghTiger 6,210]

I thought Mercedes would be better in Q3.

Maybe a software glitch, or something mechanical and no sense in pressing the luck

[elfenix 34,344]

red bull with the lockout

[ChickenSandwich 9,856]

Odd Q3 with half of the teams not on the track in the last two minutes of the session. 

[PittsburghTiger 6,210]

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Well done by RedBull.

Perez 2023 F1 World Champ! Fuck the Verstappens!!!!
