Ocon is gonna try to steal a faster car in the next round of pit stops.

[Starfleet Command 441]

This season might be even more boring than 2022 unless Merc can figure their shit out. 

[RPM 26,368]

I like that more teams are running wheel ads. Looks cool.

They don't have any paint to save weight. That's the carbon fiber.

I know, we all know. It’s still dumb that a Silver Arrow is black.

Perhaps the Aston Safety Car

[PittsburghTiger 6,210]

Mr. Ferrari should have punched someone in that garage

[PittsburghTiger 6,210]

My goodness, what a day it would be for Alonso if he can steal that podium spot.

[Loch Ness Monster 3,533]

Enjoyed the F1 Netflix show. Can't quite get into the actual sport though. Red Bull just wins every race.

[ConferenceRoom 6,147]

I’m here for your journey, Fred. 

[McCroskey 1,491]

3 team race for the podium.

The most entertaining competitions are rarely for 1-2.

[RamjetFDO 10,578]

McClaren with the bold 5-stop strategy.

[Buzzrock 14,953]

How did Ocon go out?

[Fastbreak 3,996]

How did Ocon go out?

Like a punk

[elfenix 34,344]

my "Make McLaren Great Again" tshirt hasn't lost relevancy

[RamjetFDO 10,578]

How did Ocon go out?

Little known F1 rule that said if you gain 30 seconds in stupidity penalties, you get a red card.

(I don't remember)

Everybody knows you make more money doing service after the sale.

AlphaTauri wheel ads are badass

[ConferenceRoom 6,147]

In a show of solidarity with McLaren, my 14-month old just puked all over herself. 

[RPM 26,368]

Williams with a Top 10!

[RamjetFDO 10,578]

I'm here for Fernando on the podium.

Let's go get 100!

nice drive by gasly, from last to 9th

alonso made that race interesting in the top 5

That’s very cool. Such a rich history for that team.

My fantasy drivers at the F1 site: Russell, Alonso, Gasly, Sainz & Hulkenberg.

My constructors: Mercedes & Aston.

[PittsburghTiger 6,210]

Logan in 12th. That’s nice too

[pops 7,007]

I wish Fred wasn't on stroll's team because he deserves no good things,  but what a fucking race!

[elfenix 34,344]

bahrain has a female minister.  unexpected

[PittsburghTiger 6,210]

Over on YouTube the F1 post-race show is getting ready to start. It’s free.

[ChickenSandwich 9,856]

Happy my Mclaren fan contract was terminated. 

Redbull has clinched the constructor’s title

Boathouse topping the midfield charts was fantastic. Great drive from Gasley, lol Ocon.  Albon in the points  

Poor fucking Charles. SMDH

Whole race was the Fred show and I’m here for it. 
 

Other than 1&2, race 1 was an entertaining opening salvo.

Danny has to be off laughing at McLaren somewhere.

I know I am.  Obviously something was off w/ Danny, but I'll continue to believe there was too much priority given to Lando in the development of that car.  Predict Lando's reputation takes a huge hit as he pouts and snarks his way through a rough season.

Also making me laugh: Ocon fumblefucking his entire. fucking. race.  Literally didn't do a single thing right from the time he strapped in.  

Getting to the point where I'm pitying Ferrari.  I want to root against the mighty icon, but it feels like picking on a special needs kid at this point. 

Loving 10-11-12.  Alex gets Williams a point, Yuki just behind and Sargeant strong on debut...Predict Williams gets 2 in the points without mas retirements ahed of them, a la 2021 Silverstone, the last time they had 2 scoring drivers.  Haas doing Haas things...sigh...

If you want to get into F1, you have to get out of the American sports fan mindset where only the winner matters and learn to appreciate the battles up and down the field.  Notice no one has mentioned Max once today - we all know he's going to dominate.  The drama and intrigue is following everyone else trying to make changes throughout the season to close the gap while beating each other up.  Every now and then you get a true fight for the lead and it's awesome, but that's a treat and not the norm.

Along those lines - the fight between Merc & AMR, champions HAM & ALO w/ RUS & STR as capable 2s is going to be one of the best parts of this season.  That's the battle for 3rd today, and possible that one of them could nip Ferrari for 2nd.
