F1 thread - 2019 Season

It's true mate. I browse other F1 communities and anyone that isn't a Hamilton or Mercedes fan don't enjoy watching the same driver/team win by a country mile every season
Would they just love to watch their own team and driver romp to victory instead though?

Liars if they said no.

It is pathetic, maybe you/they feel the amount of money Ferrari pump into their development isn't quite enough, the poor under funded lambs.

Like I said earlier the Ferrari revival 2019 tour starts erm 2020...

Maybe?

Oh and one team is nearly always dominant, it is up to the others to get their acts together and design a car to challenge instead of talking about it.

I just want competition mate, be it from Ferrari, red bull, Renault or even Williams.
I'm bored of seeing the same story every season, I really don't see why that is such a controversial statement because F1 is a sport, not the Mercedes roadshow.
Of course it's up to other teams to challenge them, but bloody hell that doesn't make it any less boring or processional when it's the same team every season
 
Hardly. They're an incredibly consistent team but haven't been able to take that final step in the last 10 years.

Remarkably they haven't finished lower than 4th in the constructors since 1981. In that time Williams have come and almost gone, McLaren are a shadow of their former selfes. Benetton, Renault, Lotus etc whatever they're called at the moment have a few good years then go off the boil. To be near the top for that long isn't easy at all.
Hard not to be consistent with the most money. Although the rags are giving it a good go.

Were you bored watching City last season?
 
You are (were?) a Vettel fan and he won four in a row.
As you know I've only started properly watching in the last few years, but yeah I could imagine it would get boring for anyone else (although the races for the championships were close from what I've seen)
As I said, if you're a Hamilton fan I get you're enjoying this period of dominance much like I'd enjoy city winning the league 5 times in a row.
I just really want some competition to Mercedes stranglehold is all mate

I still think Hamilton would have won last year in the Ferrari and would probably be ahead this year in it.

Yeah for two of those years a rival team took the championship to the last race I.e tight championships.

The only decent one in the hybrid era was 2016 when Rosberg won it and he of course was also in a Merc.

I'm sure the IndyCar on tonight at 21:30 on the Sky F1 channel will be a bit tighter up the front.
 
this start to the new season was not really what people was thinking, its not what people was saying in pre-season testing ??? the new Ferrari was fast and red bull would be fast and Mercedes was well off the pace and maybe struggle ???? after 3 races nothing looks different to last season and even Ferrari calling team orders all ready hahahahahaha, i did myself hope for a better challenge to Hamilton and Mercedes ??? but looks like we all was fooled and the faster cars don't really mean winning races ??

i know its early doors and things can move quickly in F1 with technology and finding another 5mph to 10mph can be found in the car setup ?? but the drivers don't change and Hamilton is a level above everybody and like somebody else said put him in the Ferrari car and he would win the divers championship its that simple he is the better driver
 
Probably because I'm bitter about the season being done; but in that situation swapping your driver's is pretty much on the same level as match fixing for me.
I'd be livid if I was valterri

So what of the match fixing today then?

You ignored the point earlier.
 
Ridiculous decision by Ferrari, again. They probably would've got 3rd and 4th without that nonsense. Also failed to spot an opportunity for Leclerc to have a go at the fastest lap, again. Pretty pathetic really. Might be the last tie they ask Leclerc to move over for Seb though. I wish.

Imperious from Lewis. What a driver. It had to be him that won the 1000th GP. Title number 6 on its way.

Worst team on the grid regarding strategies. I'm not even joking when I say I could make better strategic decisions and I'll be the team's strategist for 50k a year
 
I hate it, I'll never agree with team orders

But you weren't around condemning it today, unlike when Hamilton got given a place, bang you were straight on it, this is what hampers discussions / friendly arguments in these threads, everybody enjoys a bit of banter etc but it has to work both ways.

Also btw I am not a Mercedes fan, I just like Hamilton and I like Verstappen also, really any proper racers, Leclerc also looks interesting but I have never cared for Ferrari, probably the red colour lol so it will inhibit my enjoyment of him somewhat.

Posted similar to this earlier, Hamilton just gets more out his car and he's on another level to anyone out there, he's that fuckin good.

I had the race downloaded and had the result spoiled before I could watch it
Sometimes I watch the race live, sometimes I don't.
I watched it live for Bahrain
 
Me too, but it was Sky that dealt the spoiler, giving the result out at the beginning of our game. Knew I should have had the NBC stream on. Twats.
Went on my Chrome browser and they had a load of news articles just below my bookmarked sites and saw the result.
I should know better tbh, serves myself right for not getting up early
