i don’t really, if he was as good or better than LH then he has been given the rare opportunity to prove it. No other driver has this chance.

Yeah, yeah, we know you don't feel sorry for anyone successful Rich.

The complete opposite - hes got one of the absolute best 2 seats in F1 - if he’s not good enough to win from there then it’s no one else’s fault. I feel far more sorry for the potential best ever driver who’s stuck in a shit car through bad luck/bad connections/etc..

Who said it was anyone else's fault? It must be frustrating to think you've finally nailed something and then the same guy that always beats you does it again.

Anyway, it was just a throw away comment, miserable git.

How dare I discuss F1 on a thread about F1!! Everyone knows forums are strictly for retorical comments!!!

You boys got the painters in or summat?

I’m never a big fan of being told what I think, but I thought we were chatting about F1?! I’m cool with that!

It was all a bit anti climatic. Let's hope Ferrari get their shit together and give Mercedes a fight this season.

Did the 2018 season not happen?

Good to see Mclaren improving.

I didn't really feel sorry for Button or Roberg either. They were able to beat Hamilton, when things were going their way (which is the nature of F1, you need momentum and sometimes luck on your side)

Not me, although I ought to have put a after calling him a miserable git to avoid him getting upset. He is a miserable git though.

i have my moments....

Another year and Albert Park is still a garbage track.

Hats off to Bottas

I'm lost as to why Ferrari didn't box Leclerc and go for fastest lap.

Mildly entertaining in the context of the Aussie GP, looking forward to better tracks. Very tight in the midfield!

That was very disappointing that Leclerc wasn't allowed free rein, great to see Bottas wanting to hammer the point (literally) home.

Serious confetti.

Just ffwd this whilst having my breakfast - thought something was amiss with Bottas being so far ahead, a quick look at the news later and it’s clear Hamilton clouted his floor on a kerb and shagged the undertray.

Also clicked another link where the drivers said the new wings made no difference to following - Adrian Newey said that would be the case when it was suggested on day 1 so I’m surprised the FIA ignored it.

I nearly wrote a post yesterday saying I disagreed with what people were saying about Bottas and I thought he had come out fighting (Top in Q1 & Q2) and that he seemed more on it than usual. I would have looked like a hero today if I had. He’s laid down a marker. This could be a tense season. Let’s see if he and Lewis are still as friendly mid-season.

Kubica shouldn’t be in an F1 car, should he?

Bottas has come back a “new” person, just look at that beard. I’ll give it until Canada for him to realise he’s mediocre and return to the support gunner.

Kubica’s a bit surprising as he was lapping as quickly as Massa during testing sessions a few years ago wasn’t he? Would love to see his contract to see what performance clauses they have on both sides - as it stands he’s equally as shit as his team.

Not all heroes wear capes.
