2019 Formula 1 Season Thread

Looks like fake energy drink company Rich Energy have parted ways with Haas F1. Or more likely they’ve been given the boot by Haas due to not having a product, and their CEO’s love of slagging people off on Twitter including a company they stole their logo off!!!

Good riddance!!!
 
So apparently the CEO (William Storey) posted that, and the rest of the company does not agree. Rich are currently in the process of removing Storey as CEO and the sponsorship remains.
 
Wish I was at Silverstone this weekend.

Grojan binned it in the pit lane. How many more crashes is that guy going to have before he’s replaced? So many better drivers out there.

Grosjean is quick, but was unlucky when he left Renault (he was getting podiums there) and joined Haas in the hope of getting a Ferrari drive ultimately. All the crashes I can remember this season involve his teammate!

Still been his worst season in Formula One. And I agree, I think Haas could do better (and arguably needs to if they want to advance in the WCC).

So this time it is Bottas who gets his first BGP pole, denying Lewis a 7th. LeClerc dominated Q2, but came up short in Q3 (everyone went slower on their final lap) to be 3rd with Vettel 6th behind Max and Gasly.

Mercedes on the Mediums with everyone else on softs so unless it rains, cannot see how Mercedes doesn't take the win tomorrow - only question will be which driver is first and which is second.

Unless they come together at the start?

Yes I think a Mercedes 1-2 is likely tomorrow.
Rain would be fun though! Lewis and Max will do well in the rain.
Different tyre strategies tomorrow might change it up a bit as only the Mercs start on mediums up front.

And back to the status quo...

Maybe the race will be different.

Ferrari won last year.. Lewis is on the dirty side of the track, Bottas could botch the start, Leclerc could go through! I know, I'm reaching here but hopefully there is some good racing tomorrow.
 
A friend of mine texted me this afternoon and managed to get into the outer circuit by climbing a fence. Very naughty but i take my hat off to him lol. Hoping for a Hamilton victory tomorrow

More importantly denying him his 5th Consecutive. Made my day. I agree tomorrow will be another Mercedes 1/2 without rain. Unfortunately Hamilton is quite a bit faster in the rain than Bottas.
I'll tune in for the first lap or two. If the Mercedes are away clean I'll go work in my garden. :rolleyes:

But you can always enjoy watching the LeClerk and Max battle for third.
 
Don’t think Mercedes will win today as it’s fairly humid.
But who knows, I’d like to see Max and LeClerc battle it out for the win again.
[doublepost=1563109939][/doublepost]Although I see Norris has done REALLY well again, let’s see what he can do eh?....

LOL. Actually, I don’t have rabbit issues. Deer are my largest challenge. This year I’ve been using a dried granular product containing Coyote Urine and a few other secret scents placed around the border at the base of the fencing 1x per week. I’ve been very happy with the results, plus it’s doesn't harm the environment. ;)
 
Well Lewis’s engineer have told him to back off Botas because his car was overheating, these Mercs are really really really crap with heat management and it makes for really really really dull boring races..

Thanks God for Red Bull and Ferrari and McLaren to make the racing exciting! Mercedes can just get lost IMO.
