how long until he kills himself?

>>74893392
Bottas will finish ahead of Vettel

So the whole season is pretty much confirmed to be:

>whoever gets in front on the first lap is going to drive away to the distance

Merc and Ferrari in clean air seem to be pretty much equal. Before anyone spergs out over Hamilton's lackluster second stint, it is almost certain he was just taking it easy (as suggested by radio communication) to conserve tires, knowing he would never catch up to Vettel or never would be able to pass at least.

Realistically its going to be Hamilton vs Vettel with maybe a few cheeky Finnwins in between. Red Bull is nowhere. They might have a good car by the end but it will be a tall order to make up the deficit that they're going to suffer in the first quarter of the season

Who is sandbagging the most out of all teams?
I think it's Sauber. They are laughing at the entire field with their 2016 engines, they are teasing their rivals.

Truth bomb here lads

>>74893407

Also the overtaking is exactly as expected, not happening. Hamilton couldn't even get past Verstappen (like 1.2 seconds slower per lap in quali) and it essentially cost him a victory.

This essentially means that if e.g. Massa memes himself in front at a start he might actually just cruise to victory assuming the strategy and pitstops are correct.

>>74893407
>>whoever gets in front on the first lap is going to drive away to the distance

I think it's more if Seb gets the jump, he'll drive off and win.
If Hamilton gets the jump, Seb will get stuck behind, and it will come down to the lone pitstop.

>>74893435
When has there been lots of overtaking in Melbourne? How fucking dense are you? It's a street circuit. Wait until China and Bahrain until you sperg about the rule changes being bad.

>>74893407

I'm not buying that senpai because VET got close to HAM before he pitted on the first stint. I think over taking is possible still.

>>74893441
Yeah because Hamilton could follow, right?

>>74893470

>whoever gets in front on the first lap is going to drive away to the distance

This is different from 2014-2016... how, exactly?

And again: this was Albert Park. It's a fucking street circuit. Last year we had 20 overtakes, now we had 14.

>>74893407
Ferrari seems to do better with degradation too so they can most of the time push the over cut

So is it now safe to say Magnussen is just a shit driver? I don't get the fascination with this guy. He was OK at best at McLaren, miraculously got a second chance at Renault and didn't even seem to give a shit. Got a few decent results and was closely matched by Palmer by the end, which is not a good thing. Now he's somehow extended his career to Haas and so far he fucked up quali, memebombed himself into the gravel on the first lap, and was completely invisible otherwise. What makes him so "special" that he deserves to be a F1 driver? Half the GP2 field could probably get the same results as he does.

Also, we all know he will be replaced sooner or later by pic related, the future GOAT

Where is Giovinazzi going to go? He got the attention of everyone last year in GP2, and got the Ferrari backing, and now he's showed he can drive F1 without choking or being a nuisance as a backmarker. Certainly performed better than Stroll, among others with actual experience (Magnussen, Ericsson, Palmer). He basically is primed for a fulltime F1 drive, there's nothing more he needs to or can show really. The only question is where can he go? The only realistic options are Haas and Sauber. Haas is only an option if Grosjean doesn't renew, but i don't see why Haas would want to let go of him. Magnussen also has a multi year contract. Sauber won't fire Ericsson as it's de facto his team now and Merc will continue to force Wehrlein. There's really nowhere for him to go.

Unless Ferrari start feeling their power levels of Italian nationalism rising and set up the long-talked about Alfa Romeo Ferrari junior team just to get Giovinazzi (and Leclerc/Fuoco) a drive. Or just throw him straight into Ferrari as Gimi's replacement

>>74893732
He'll either continue at Sauber or replace Magnussen mid-season. Maybe even Renault if Palmer continues his abysmal form.

"Realistic options" really don't mean shit when talking about a talent like this. Schumacher got snatched up by Benetton after one race, I expect something similar to happen to Giovinazzi, too. Would Mercedes even care if Wehrlein got dropped by Sauber?

Maybe Williams buys him from Ferrari. Otherwise there are no realistic options, and that's a shame because this guy deserves a drive. Ferrari could try it when they replace Kimi but Ferrari never takes on youngsters.

>Would Mercedes even care if Wehrlein got dropped by Sauber?

I think they are the only ones who would. I honestly don't understand why they are shilling Wehrlein so hard. His debut season was getting matched in quali by fucking Haryanto, having a few decent races, got a good result in Austria because the Manor was accidentally kind on its tires for an unknown reason, then got basically outclassed by Ocon in the second half of the season and exposed himself as a bitch in Brazil wet weather conditions.

Maybe they want to demonstrate the "authenticity" of the Merc junior programme or show some sort of loyalty thing or something, I dunno.

I don't think a stable Sauber seat for Gio is a possible thing. If Haas succesfully removes one of its two drivers I think he will get the seat for sure, if not we have to hope Ferrari goes full mad man and replace Kimi for 2018 because I don't see Ferrari buying Sauber to rebrand as Alfa Romeo and a new entry on the grid is too late and/or expensive for 2018 I guess

I had a discussion with a m8 today and we both brought up how overhyped Magnussen has become.

He did pretty well at Macklaren in his first year, got thrown that lifeline at Renault and spend the whole time whining and complaining when he knew he was signing up for a shotbox. Palmer understood it.

Grosjean, albeit more experienced, gets so much more out of the Haas than Magnussen does, and Magnussen constantly makes stupid mistakes.

FORZA FERRARI!!! FORZA VETTEL!!!
VIVA L'ITALIA!!!

What a fucking joke of a race. Why are the Mercedes' strategists even allowed to express their fucking opinion? Shitty ass engineers and shitty ass Pirelli and their shitty ass tires can't even last 10 fucking laps. They should be on their knees sucking Lewis' dick and begging for an apology.
Australia is a joke country anyway. Those convicts showed no respect to Lewis on the podium.

It would only make sense if they implemented it like GP2. Point for fastest lap but only if you finish in the top 10

I don't know why Formula E doesn't do the same, it would have prevented the utter farce that was the London 2016 finale where the championship was decided by the two contenders battling out hot laps like 10 laps down from everyone else

F1 will probably end up implementing a points sytem where the top 15 all get points sooner or later

>>74894351

>You now recall Mercedes' tyre issues in 2012

Kek. Nowhere as bad as that now, but still.

>>74894186

I know Alonso is in a Honda but how alpha must someone like Ocon feel after pulling a move like that on someone who is basically his childhood hero and grew up watching him on TV etc

It must be pretty strange for everyone. E.g. pre-ultra ego Hamilton said that he always used to race as Kimi in the F1 games on PS2

>>74894242

>>74894186
Man The Cars look so good and mean now

Are the cars even that intense to drive around a circuit like Melbourne? Vettel and Hamilton didn't even look exhausted after the race. Vettel didn't even look like he broke a sweat.

Meanwhile Wehrlein "I didn't get to train for a few weeks so I can't drive this car that is a few seconds faster than last year for 2 hours"

I genuinely hope that Wehrlein's injury is career-ending.

It's a good way to keep the Aussie population down

Same reason they keep sabotaging Australian drivers at Melbourne, to ensure that a suitable amount of people kill themselves.

McLaren are such pieces of shit. Total shitting on Honda for the whole pre-season, or the past 3 years actually. Even though their chassis has never been particularly remarkable. Melbourne isn't even a particular "power track" and even then the car looks like a dog to drive, and it can't just be down to the power unit.

And then Alonso DNF's because of a fucking SUSPENSION failure. Did Honda manufacture that too?

Put a Mercedes engine in that McLaren and they would probably be Williams/Force India tier if the car manages not to explode from a non-PU related fault

Honestly fuck McLaren. They and the British media seem to like to push the narrative that everything is Honda's fault. Honda is obviously a big part of it, but people seem to forget that McLaren hasn't been a top team in ages. Last victory was in 2012 and they weren't exactly a front runner back then either. And let's not forget their wonderful cars in 2011, 2010 and >2009, or 2006, or 2005 when they couldn't make a car that doesn't explode.

Like Hamilton or not, but it's hard to deny that he brings the most out of cars and is a pretty valuable asset for a team. And McLaren managed to drive him away from them because of their shit reliability. McLaren has somehow managed to burn bridges with so many good drivers. Hamilton, Button to an extent, Alonso (2x incoming), Montoya, Gimi, Prost, etc etc

This was my first F1 race, how does this compare to what it is normally?

No surprise those from oppressive big brother government controlled countries like Thought Crime Island and Merkelstan think there is anything wrong with the crowd coming onto the track.

You've been controlled for too long and have become good little citizens following the globalist narrative.

These people want to control you and your views so they trample on your rights and make you good little consumerist pigs.

Nobody would give a fuck if it was years ago and Mansell won the British GP.

>Had to cheat to beat Lewis GOAT

Just finished watching it. As a Hamilton fan, not even mad about the result. A Vettel vs Hamilton season has potential for one of the most memorable seasons in a very long time. I'm so fucking hype right now.

There was a person with a Ferrari banner on the track by Vettel right before he entered the pit lane. The camera view blocked him slightly but that one scared me.

How many of those people were intoxicated? That could have actually ended very poorly.

Fucking dangerous is what it is. What if a throttle gets pinned open, what if anything goes wrong. Never, ever enter a live race track. You wouldn't walk on live gun range, even of the guns were down and they were held by competent people. Even being the right side of the catch fence is dangerous enough at times. Motorsport is dangerous.

Overall a pretty boring race in terms of over-taking and incidents even though there was more over-taking than people are making out, the interesting thing about this race was the result itself and the complete loss of dominance the Mercedes have had over the past few seasons, normally Hamilton would've just run away with it and the only way to beat them would be to over-take them at the start or them have a technical problem.

Very interesting for that reason and an enjoyable race if you've been following F1 for a while.
