Anyone else here watch F1 racing?

Hope for a good race today, and a great season ahead.

let’s hope Ferrari doesn’t fumble on tire strategy again

car looks competitive

verstappen looks like steel again, right where he left off

Alonso tho, what a surprise. Stroll (Sr.) must be super psyched

[Anders]

Not a great race so far, but Aston Martin are flying. Verstappen seems nearly unbeatable. Happy to see Williams doing ok.

[Anders]

Leclerc out with an engine problem.

[Anders]

Race a lot better now. Great action from Alonso.

Man if it wasn’t for Max, Perez would be killing it

Friendship ended with MCLAREN

Now ASTON MARTIN is my best friend

[96583UP]

Happy to see a spark from Aston

Feeling so sorry for LeClerc with more Ferrari self-destruct shenanigans

Happy to see McLaren struggle - I like Norris but dislike the way Piastri left Alpine hanging

Red Bull lookin like they gonna win it all again

R u srs? Alpine's boss handled the Piastri situation like a snake piece of shit.

Guess I don't know enough about it / am old fashioned

If you're on someone's development team, and they are investing millions to train you, so that you can be the 'next man up' when someone leaves - then when someone leaves, you need to be the 'next man up' - not go and sign somewhere else

but I guess Alpine deserved it for not being smart enough to have him under contract (?)

In the NFL or MLB, something like this would be impossible without compensation to the team training the person

hot take: Aston Martin Aramco wins the Saudi Grand prix after Saudi Aramco rigs it in their favor

hot take: Saudi Arabia executes both Aston Martin Aramco drivers after they fail to score points in the Saudi Grand Prix

[Anders]

The Mclaren boss feels like the shadiest one of the lot.

Piastri bringing that McLaren boat to 8th is pretty huge. Stroll tussling with the big boys again. They managed to roll out a monster just after Seb's retirement. What the hell?

[96583UP]

Ocon starting at 6th too after a big stinker last week too

should be an interesting race

I picture Max and LeClerc clawing back up through the field but things should get interesting once they reach the top 7

Checo prob ecstatic

he def wants a title shot

[Anders]

Should be an exciting race.

Jfc verstappen back up at 2 now. Let Perez have one please

[96583UP]

yeah was an interesting first half, lots of movement but the leaderboard looks pretty solidified now

Red Bull always so good at taking advantage of / planning for a safety car

Max would have made his way to 2nd anyway but smart strategy statistically imo to expect a safety car on this track and strategize for it

that said the Stroll safety car looked unnecessary
