Formula One ( F1 )

Lol at Mazepin coming last.

MegaLOL at SebbyV. I wonder if his contract just says 'Make Lance look good.' If so, job done.

Yeah its very strange whats happening with him, maybe he's just settling in at AM.

In Q1 he got caught with the yellow flags when Mazepin spun at turn one, as well as when Sainz's engine stopped. So don't think 18th is particularly representative. But yeah, not a great weekend so far.

On another note, damn strong start for Sainz. I'm sure he'll be happily surprised at the Ferrari's performance relative to the McLaren so far.

I've got £20 that says Aston sack Vettel before the halfway point. Anyone?

He's a shareholder in Aston Martin (the cars part) so I would say that's a bad bet on your side.

I suspect that if he sucks as badly as I think he's going to then "a much more involving position in the road car side of the business" could be found that "really needs his attention at this crucial time".

Even more LOLz to David Coulthard on Ch4 referring to him being controversial (or something like that) both on and off the track.

What's the deal with watching F1 this year? Do I need sky? Are they doing that weird thing where C4 have highlights of some of the races?

C4 highlights of all the races AFAIK, usually on at about 8-9pm. British GP might be live.

And ending his race first.

I like to think I'm above enjoying the misfortune of others in sport, but Mazepin is definitely an exception!

Also, loving the new safety car!

Any creative (and reasonably reliable) ways of watching live races that don't involve lining the pockets of the Murdoch clan?

His first race mind you

Also with a car that has a history of a very unstable rear end.

Seems a bit early in the season to break out the "Valtteri, it's James", surely Mercedes would want to split strategy against a sole Red Bull our front.

If you find the motorsport streams Reddit there will be a link to a website you can watch races on.

Oh no Verstappen, off-track overtake might mess this up.

Edit: That was clever to give that straight back.

Idiot, I mean both of them but Coulthard should know better.

Great race from Hamilton. Managing to beat Verstappen whilst in a slower car.

I take it back, Vettel was great - proper racing. Great race altogether I thought.

Also, Perez is incredible. Red Bull look fast as fuck this year - genuinely excited that it’s proper racing again throughout the field (not you Mazepin).

Pretty great start to the season really.

Really surprised at how fast mclaren were too, decent jump for riccardo too.

I'm also excited for 4-7th place fights. Ferrari have potential for a strong midfield

This ⬆️

Becoming increasingly convinced that Vettel's job is to make Lance Stroll look good. Maybe Haas could slip him a few quid and try to take Mazepan look good. At least he's be earning his money then.
