Anyone else here watch F1 racing?

[chuck taylor]

I follow it regularly, but I don't actually "watch" the races.
Let's keep the thread going for this upcoming season.

Australian GP (3/20) is less than 2 months away!

Renault launched their 2016 car recently, but also said the color scheme could change (I actually think they should keep it like this):

Ferrari's 2016 car.

Is a thing of beauty

No idea how these times were calculated, but Ferrari looks fast so far:

Hamilton on pole for the season opener, with an all-Mercedes front row. Really hoping Ferrari can pull even with them this year, it would be a much more exciting season to follow.

I love that Hamilton came out saying he'd done some sexy laps. yessir.

Well that looked really good for Ferrari at the start, haha. Maybe this will be Rosberg's year?

Nice start for Haas with Grosjean finishing in the points

Vettl almost blew his 3rd place with that spin out with 2 laps to go. Wtf was that?

I hadn't realized it had been that long (1986) since an American team competed. Nice start, although Grosjean admitted himself that the red flag/pit stops helped them get up there.

Yeah, but he's a pretty decent driver. If they give him a good car he'll always be competitive.

I dabble in the open-wheeled racing spectating.

[chuck taylor]

Hamilton with another pole. Guy's so good in qualifying.

Also, disappointed to see Williams slip a little bit to start the year. I had been quietly rooting for them last year, they were right up there behind the top two.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Loving Grosjean's driving so far!

[chuck taylor]

Yea, good call on him, an awesome first two races for Haas.

Rosberg looks unstoppable this year.

Dude wtf. He's going to win every race!

Yeah, honestly I would like to see a little more parity. I understand that each team bringing in their own design is an essential part of the sport, but it's hard to pay attention to a full season in the summer when you can predict the standings after 5 races....Fans can't see the motors, could we just standardize those and then have teams battle with aerodynamics?? The best drivers would still win, but at least it would be closer.
