Hello, I'm incredibly autistic about F1 and I notice there's very little discussion of it on tftv.
We're two races into the 2019 season, let the thread begin.
No casuals allowed.

edit: I don't mind talking about F2 either

I remember finding F1 incredibly boring until half a year into being 20 then I just woke up and felt like a complete dad about it

Followed Since Hamilton's first championship in 2008 as primarily a McLaren fan, so finally hoping 2019 is the year they show signs of returning nearer to the pace of the top 3.

they've shown pretty good pace so far this year, but I wouldn't say top 3 tier
If they can continue their upward trend into next year they could be best of the rest and maybe get a few meme podiums

whats happening this season? still a snoozefest since red bull era? who's the best at saving his tires?

the sport is such a joke nowadays, just like nascar. Can you imagine doing a movie on vettel vs hamilton rivalry the same way hunt vs lauda, or senna vs prost can be made? Of course not all was rose tinted in the past. But i miss tracks with actual corners the most.

The SF90 seems very fast from what I can tell, however it seems to be plagued by reliability issues, overheating in Australia, engine issue in Bahrain. Very reminiscent of the MP4/20, but the season just started so here's to hoping Ferrari can fix their shit. However, you can't really right off Mercedes since they've been doing this whole "we're slow, lol jk" shit for the past few years.
Yes, it's still a snoozefest, I can't stay away though.
The RB14 had amazing tyre preservation last year, it really let Max and Daniel pull off some wonky shit at times. As for this year I'm not sure.

W-we'll be back up there soon bros... second most successful team of all time... have faith bros...

I want a Leclerc championship, he's probably who I'm going to mainly support now Kimi is not in a car that can compete for wins/podiums (not like he was getting many wins anyway :( ). Lando seems like a nice guy and he is also showing some serious pace so I'm a fan of him as well.
Gasly is having a shocker start to the season, he looked pretty good last year. Is it something to do with the car as I think I've seen Verstappen also saying stuff about it being hard to drive but I guess he can handle it much better and so isn't as affected.

I've been watching since Monaco 2006 and I'll be going to a race this year. I'm ready for Ferrari to let me down again this year, but it would be nice to see someone other than Merc take the championship.

I think most people would look good compared to Hartley when it comes to F1

Good result in general or for a Williams? At the moment if I was him my main concern would be making the 107% rule every race lol.

twingodo you guys think Ricciardo will get on the podium this year

if some DNFs happen with the top teams then yeah the possibility is there. I like Daniel a lot but he's a man past his prime, Nico would probably get a podium before he does.

I once had a really autistic copy pasta with really useful info a few years ago but I have no idea where I've put it.
If I find it I'll post it, but it's unlikely I'll find it.

The closest an Aussie will get to the podium this year is Mark Webber conducting the occasional post-race interviews.

I also fucking love Formula 1. Had a good laugh at Ferrari's massive choke last night. Also glad to see Max Verstappen doing so well because he is insanely talented and i'm more Dutch than English so I support him all the way. Also glad that Bottas is doing well and the traitor Riccardo is becoming a laughing stalk.

haha no
