The Formula 1 Thread

[SUTSS]

First car designs for the 2015 season are starting to come out.

Williams

Force India

 

[CFC91]

Hopefully a little more competitive than last season - as good as the Mercedes battle was.

Really hope Williams can maintain there form from last season as I really liked Bottas and he is definitely destined for better things.

Tempted to book and go out to Spa for the GP too - done Silverstone a few times but really want to go to Belgium for the race as it is usually a cracker.

 

[Stagat]

Interesting from an engineering point of view the big difference on the noses of those two cars.

 

[Murphy]

Really like Force India's this time around, colours on it look great.

 

[SALTIRE]

Don't think we'll see the best of McLaren till the 2016 season onwards.

 

[Hank]

Will be interesting to see how the Mclaren gets along at the first test and hopefully see Williams and Red Bull close the gap to the Mercs.

 

[stripey_nigel]

I see they've still got funny noses on their cars!!!

 

[Hank]

Still not as bad as last year. That Caterham, yikes!

 

[stripey_nigel]

We're all booked up for silverstone, all 3 days, hotel nearby

 

[markwwfc1992]

Just booked tickets for the USA GP in Texas in October.. Hope there is something riding on it by then!

 

[Hank]

Knew Mclaren would struggle but didn't think they'd be this bad.

 

[blade1889]

Looks like this season will be much tighter

 

[JonBCFC]

Struggling to get excited for this season considering how wank the Mclaren car is, and how far ahead Mercedes are yet again.

 

[Murphy]

Yeah, McLaren's are really disappointing.

Also the whole farce surrounding Sauber. Very disappointed that Jolyon Palmer didn't get a ride in the off-season as well.

 

[Murphy]

Sounded like utter drudgery and only 11 cars finished in any case.

Could be a long season.

 

[Super_horns]

Apart form Sauber's impressive showing not much to write home about.

 

[Murphy]

Seemingly no German GP this season either, Nurburgring pulled out and Hockenheim isn't willing to do it two years on the bounce because of the loss they'd make. Such a shame losing these races, they reckon Monza will be gone next year as well. Not about tradition anymore, all about £££, but we all knew that anyway sadly.

 

[CFC91]

Shame all the proper race tracks are gone and being replaced by corporate hubs in the middle of nowhere because of the £££ - Silverstone, Spa and Monza are the best races on the calender yet the ones now under threat if rumours are to be believed

 

[Super_horns]

Mercedes maybe not getting their own way. Strong showing from Ferrari and the rookies.

 

[SUTSS]

Great drive by Vettel to bring that home. Certainly wasn't expecting that.

 

[S2_Blade]

I managed to see second half of Malaysian GP and faith restored a little in F1, Brilliant drive by Vettel in the Ferrari !

Mercedes certainly cocked Hamilton up with Tyre strategy but oh well great to see a different team on top of podium

 

[LeoRahi]

Ferrari is back!!!!! Fuck yeah. Vettel having a dream run with Ferrari. Good to see him back after a bad phase.

Was tired of seeing Hamilton win every race. Good change, actually great change since I'm a Ferrari fan.

 

[Bobbin']

Vettel winning is hardly a change is it.

 

[Hank]

Not a big change but it's is giving me hope that the Mercs may be challenged and we'll have two teams battling up front.

 

[Super_horns]

Normal service resumed...

 

[Skinner]

Rosberg is fast becoming one of the most dislikable, whiney sportsmen going.

 

[GodsGift]

Just a bit. If Hamilton was driving so slow, why didn't he try and fucking overtake him?

 

[Skinner]

Exactly. He had no qualms trying to overtake him in Budapest last year when he could have avoided contact but popped his tyre.

Petulant wanker.

 

[SUTSS]

Hamilton's a bit of a dick as well though.

 

[S2_Blade]

Brilliant press conference after race, Hamilton & Vettel trying hard not to laugh with Rosberg sulking like a baby haha

If Hamilton was so slow and holding you up Rosberg then why not make a move to overtake, Rosberg & Red Bull would be a dream combination at moment !
