    The Halo is a ****ing travesty. They finally get the cars looking cool again then drop this turd.

    And LOL at this penalty for Ricciardo for doing nothing. At his HOME GP. F1 continually finds ways to shoot itself in the foot

    What's the deal with Autosport saying Ferrari has tried last years wing yesterday. That can't be a good sign.

    It really was retarded....FIA admitted he slowed down enough when the red flag appeared, but his lap delta was too fast for the rules of a red flagged lap....erm duh! he was on a fast lap and the red flag appeared well into the last sector! unless he trundled around in 1st forever he was going to beat it. The FIA said he's lucky because he should've gotten a heavier penalty! What happened to common ****ing sense!? Outraged.

    The HALO is shocking and drivers starting to not like it much when suddenly in a competitive situation. I applaud guys like Hulkenberg who has been against it since day one. And personally? I still can't see a driver crawling from underneath it when the car is in a gravel trap. Physically impossible. Good luck with a car that's on fire. We all saw what happened to Williamson all those years ago...What Marshall is really touching a firey F1 car that's rolled over?

    Well said. Vettel, his temper and some reliability issues very much ruined a title last year. Mercedes look flawless for now. We might have to settle for actual racing behind them for entertainment. Bottas is .1-.2 behind LH. RB is close but will lack power and Im certain reliability over the longer term.

    Best Team boss press conference so far

    1.) Parity amongst the teams (Horner disagrees with Mercedes and Ferrari about engines) 10:23 thru 16:10
    2.) Disagreement between hiring FIA or FOM personnel into the teams (MA and Horner kinda go at it ) 17:10 thru 22:45
    3.) Teams (top 3) not agreeing on anything. 22:45 thru 26:00
    4) Possible break-away series 26:00 thru 28:45

    Quite realistic also. To my humble knowledge making the Q123 thread is given to a small group of enthusiasts. Well they better wake up now....

    Dissapointing presentation from Arrivabene, the man seems to have no experience whatsoever in talking to the media. He should work on his English as well.

    I think Horner made te most sense.

    The halo is a travesty. Just when Liberty think they are going to go full excitement with new video action, the FIA puts blinders on the in-car cameras. What a joke!

    ESPN news shows F1 practice live on their guide but there is some college baseball game on live. 7 innings to go so I'm assuming they are not showing F1 practice. Why is tv coverage so difficult for F1?

    I'd rather do a pay app like motogp than this crap. No antennae needed.
