Farlz Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 ANOTHER Mercedes 1-2. ANOTHER weekend when all we hear is "Ferrari are faster" rubbish. When Baku delivers a boring race there's no hope really. Already feel like giving up with this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I thought the rising manhole covers was an innovation they could have done more with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 The Merc spiel that they are fighting a faster car in the Ferrari is wearing a bit thin now, not sure that stands up when they have had 4 lockouts in a row. Lewis has a proper battle on his hands this season, looks like Bottas is doing a Rosberg and putting everything into this one. Not much else going on this season really, Ricciardo almost certainly regretting his move also been quite funny seeing money man Stroll doing so badly, such a shame Ocon had to lose his drive to him.

The Sunday one looks a stretch though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 29, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 29, 2019 Vettel complaining that the Mercedes success is boring. I mean, it IS boring. But it's a bit rich coming from the guy responsible for the most boring 4 world championships in a row ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said this about Riccardo a few weeks ago Feel your a bit harsh on stroll, he finished 9th after going out in q1 because of yellow flxags, he isn't a bad driver, certainly better than most "pay" drivers (remember Max **** chilton?)

Schumchers 5 in row was a lot more boring, iirc in 2 different seasons they turned up with the previous years car and still dominated. When you look at 2 of vettels 4 championships they went down to the last race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Interlagos is a cool track, I believe they hated going there as it's seemingly located in an absolute shithole and isn't run very well.

Yeah teams often spoke about being ambushed and mugged outside the circuit. The annoying thing is we lose another old school track with unique corners like the senna s and move onto another tilke designed track with large tarmac run off areas.

Not to mention one of the few counter-clockwise tracks. Hopefully the new one is counter-clockwise too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted May 9, 2019 Author Moderator Share Posted May 9, 2019 Full suite of races this weekend as Formula 3 joins the other 2 for the first time this season. Also, Indy Pro 2000 ... (but I'm probably alone in that one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Vettel had any kind of mental strength, he should have won at least one of the last two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 This season is awful. 5 races done and already one of the worst I can remember. Interest in this sport will decline rapidly and it's sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LakotaDakota Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Same as 2016 really. Hamilton Vs Bottas for the title. The rest of them may aswell not even bother turning up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I suppose Verstappen vs The Ferraris has been mildly entertaining but as I'm not particularly a fan of the Dutchman I don't really care how those battles turn out. The midfield battle just seems more boring than ever this year, it would be vaguely exciting that a relative newcomer in Haas are doing well but its basically a DIY Ferrari so hard to give them too much credit really. Outside of Hamilton, Vettel and Verstappen who are the superstars really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
