Re: The Official Formula 1 2019 Season Thread

A fluke and a period when the Mercedes PU had a bigger advantage. McLaren was still getting podiums then too.

All dynasties come to an end eventually. Let's see if they stay in it or fold. I think its great having former backmarker teams like Minardi and Sauber being somewhat relevant

I wonder if Sir Frank has any kind of input or if Claire makes her own decisions.

They pay themselves well and they run a nice motorhome. Trouble is, they couldn’t even wring the best from one of the easiest and most talented guys in the paddock - Paddy Lowe.

Tomorrow is the anniversary of Frank's accident.

Omologato also sponsors another team with a wheelchair-bound principal, Arrows-SPM in IndyCar.

I ate at a Golden Corral for the first time this past weekend. I made myself a Gearbox melt from a grilled cheese and a burger patty. Though it was the best thing I ate at Golden Corral I probably will not eat there again.

I remember Red Bull had an animated video with the cars transforming from previous year to current year when F1 first moved to the turbo V6 power units.

Ok so what's the top 10 after Q3. No need to put gaps, just order. I'll take a stab at it.

HAM
VET
LEC
VER
BOT
HUL
RIC
GAS
MAG
GRO

Re: The Official Formula 1 2019 Season Thread

I dont think LEC is gonna be faster than VET this year. He will be faster, but not consistently this year.

Just a hunch.

FWIW I am drinking right now lol All arguements are null and void.

i'm guessing mechanical / tyre issue bites VET in qualy, promoting LEC into top 3.

it's a longshot but the damn dice kept rolling for Merc for the 2nd half of last year.
