Trying to bring some enthusiasm  Big Grin

Who come's out on top at our new favourite team? Carlos is proving a point, Charles needs to fight back, can they take the fight to the Bull's who are predicted to be especially quick at Suzuka.

The McLaren was quick in Japan last year, hope they can do the same this year.

Will Red Bull bring a Zero pod as being reported? Horner would love to rub some salt in if he could I'm sure.

Possible rain & lower temp's expected, can the Merc's be better?.... ok that's maybe a stretch   Shutup

Well, finally the season starts for real. First off I would rather start here than in Australia. Neither track does that much for me but I like night racing so its okay  I guess. The track is very uninspiring but at least does have plenty of overtaking opportunities.

Like all of you I am just hoping for some competitive racing. The very little I have read seems to think the gap between Red Bull and the rest of the field has closed somewhat. The questions I have are A) is that really true and B) by how much?

Obviously we do not know the teams true race pace but if testing in the past means anything I would suggest they are all hiding their true pace. I expect nothing other than what last season delivered, a Red Bull (Read Max Verstappen) victory and by a very comfortable margin. The question is who will be number 2.  Have Ferrari finally managed to produce a car that does not eat its tyres?  Have Mercedes finally made a move in the right direction, albeit 2 years too late?  Are McLaren really going to be Red Bulls closest rivals?

I am looking forward to catching up with most of you in Chat but especially Forza. This is quite possibly our last season to wind him up and next season as we all know a lot of us may be changing our allegiance over to the Red team as a certain driver is on the move. I am not as excited as I used to be about F1.  The direction it is heading has a probable time limit on it for me. Sure I will probably always watch it but from a certain distance. Over the years I have dipped in and out of following some sports. My lifelong love of Cricket and Soccer will always remain even though I bitch and complain about how soccer is both played and officiated these days I guess its a sign of my advancing years.

1) Verstappen 2) Leclerc 3) Norris that is my opening race prediction.

I hope you are all well and life is being kind to you and your families

Lets get this show on the road.

Hi everyone! 

I would like to share with you the project that I was working for the last 4 months. This year, it will be precisely 25 years ago since Mika Hakkinen has won his second World Championship driving for McLaren Mercedes. Back in a day, only 6 places were awarded with points (10-6-4-3-2-1) at the end of the race. Nowadays, there are 10 positions (25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1, plus possible extra point for the fastest lap of the race) who are getting awarded. Knowing that, let’s travel to an alternate timeline, where current points system and modern TV-graphics were in-use as well back in 1999 season. 

Buckle up and let’s begin our race!

I have to say I totally love this look. That said I have always been a bit outrageous not just with my choice of colours!!!

Only four points in it, whats worth more, the prestige & cash or the extra wind tunnel time?

U2’s Bono jumps on F1’s Vegas bandwagon in cringeworthy clip.

Frontman Bono informed the crowd of the fact that he and the band won’t be performing again until early December, signing off at the end of Saturday’s show with a particularly cheesy speech about “giving Las Vegas back” in order to allow the sport to have its moment in the sun.
