Formula One ( F1 )

#Commentatorgonnacomment said Alonso was having to lift a lot into the corners and putting power down later so unfair to blame Honda atm, it's the car and a lack of grip. I forget who said that today, though.

If 2017 F1 cars sounded proper like

Would watch (listen). Sound was such a big part of the appeal.

Poor McLaren, how can they have actually gone backwarda? Grim times.

I think @dammit owes me £20 for his Honda v merc nonsense this time last year!

although, I think I was blowing hot air about nico being thrashed...

found it

Yeah, not a good sign when they cancel a press meeting.

Nando must feel like screaming.

Sad Alonso is sad

John Surtees has passed on to the great paddock in the sky. Legend. And a gentleman.

Doing a wheelie through the gates of Valhalla and making loads of noise I hope.

Not (m)any people manage a Grand Prix on both two wheels and four. Can't see it happening again either.

Surtees got World Championship at both. Damon Hill raced two and four, but never got WC on two.

Gotta love Alonso's response.

All that talk about Ferrari being 'favourites' is pretty much BS, Hamilton already laying down the ground rules down under.

Morning race fans!

Any idea why Max Verstappen only put in 8 laps?

Indeed, no surprise though. Ferrari were quite forthcoming with the "Yeah, Mercedes aren't quick, but they'll turn the engines up and blow everyone away in Melbourne" remarks.

Stop listening to daft journalists ;)

And chuck Andrew Benson in a woodchipper.

Also, did lol at Alono's team name here:

So Honda isn't going to win the championship!
