F1 fans...

Anyone interested in a F1 race thread on race days? We could do a drink and wrist check and chat about the race?

Great!

Are you cheering for anyone/team in particular?

Personally I am cheering for drivers more than teams. For various reasons I like Hamilton, Borras, Gasly, and Magnusson. Really happy to see Magnusson back.

That is what I have in mind.

Great race today - crazy ending with Red Bull having the bottom fallout, but better days ahead for them I am sure.

AMR. I've loved Astons since I were a little boy so when they announced they were getting back into F1 I was pumped

Would love to, but i rarely get the chance to watch the race (or any other events for that matter) live. I’m always catching up afterwards with highlight reels.

Cool! One of my all-time favorite car manufacturers. I became a fan in the late 80's when I saw the Lagonda at an auto show in Stockholm. I have been a fan ever since.

That was crazy. Heartbreaker for RB.

Yeah - not a RB fan but they appear to have an open door this year unless Ferrari closes it shut behind them. 😂 Seeing Magnussen P5 on his return was great.

Without a doubt! Also, a thread on F1 watches (on the drivers and the pit crew) whether from Drive to Survive or race day would be a blast. Though I'll never be an F1 driver... or own a Richard Mille, there are MANY other options that I'd love to talk to others about.

Yep--and a real windfall for Hamilton! All he had to do was keep his car running an on the track as RB dropped off.

We can add a discussion about the watches or create a separate thread running in parallel. 👍

I don't see a RM in my future either. 😂

Sounds great. Awesome first race of the season, except for the part where RB fell apart... Seems like it should be a competitive year. 

·

Really glad to see that ass hat gone. 👍

·

What a great race to open the season, excited to see where things go from here. Happy to Ferrari do well and get some new names in the mix. Thrilled for KMags and Haas to be potential mid field competitors to keep things interesting. Overall the new regs look good for racing. Will be interesting to see how teams get themselves sorted over the coming weeks.

I never thought we would see Kevin race F1 again. I was stoked for him driving to a respectable finish. It is like he never left.

Speaking of, whiles he’s in discussion for being one of the best to lay their hands on a steering wheel, Hamilton had a dinner plate of an IWC on after the race.

Here is another huge one he has on 22 times a year... It might be the least expensive as well!

**Breaking News** 

Nomos has entered a car into this year's championship. Although stunningly simple in its design, it's not expected to challenge for podium places......

That's ok. They secured Mazepin as the driver, so that's where they would be, regardless of the car :)

I just grabbed a screen cap.  Clearly barely put it on to do the presser, but even the strap wears like a belt. Now that I can see it, it looks like the Top Gun, 46MM, 14.6 thick, and a lug to lug of...57!

I'm up for this, great idea 👍

Im in but I am a casual fan at best.  More of a BMW and IMSA fan myself.

I am IN! Go Team Redbull!!!!

Funny. I am the opposite. I like watching IMSA. There is some really good racing but I am not following anyone or team in particular.

So you are a BMW fan? I would have never guessed. 🙂

No good for me as I can never stay awake for a full race 🤣moto go now ya talking 👍

I’m in like Flynn
