Formula 1

Not excited about this one at all. F1 is one at the same time and for the first time I’m actually struggling to decide which to watch.

Just some general chat about F1 - and the choice between Mugello and WBA this weekend...

Ah ****, didn't realise this - tough call to not watch the first F1 race at Mugello in a while!

F1 is incredibly boring these days so I can see why it's difficult to decide between the two shitfests.

It was ****ing excellent last weekend.

Never been a great fan of F1 but it's worth watching at the moment just to see Hamilton beat all those records that cheating bastard Schumacher set.

There have been several good races this year.

Mostly from third position downwards but yes. Should we start an alternate F1 thread..?

I agree and, ultimately, it's one of those sports where fans not being there makes that much of a difference, so it's still the same sport, so to speak. Yes, it's a great sight to see all the fans spilling onto the track at Monza normally, but that's different to the race itself.

Yes please do - we all know that it's just blokes driving round and round in circles in cars

You can boil pretty much any sport down to sounding a bit thick, though, can't you

Good move on its own thread.

Perez leaving Racing Point at the end of the season.

Seems like Seb will have a seat for next season afterall!

Yeah he’s confirmed, although it’ll be Aston Martin next season:

Vettel to join renamed Aston Martin team

Four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel is to join the renamed Aston Martin team in Formula 1 next year.

Should be good to see Vettel back in a car in contention. The ferraris have been embarrassing so far this season.

 

[M17TT C]

Alonso back at Renault/Apline for next year too means at least 3 WDC for next year.

Next year could be awesome if Ferrari stop trying to be the F1 equivalent of Sunderland!

 

[FOX Franks]

Where will Perez go? He’s too good to disappear...

 

[pork pie fox]

Not got the football on at the min, Bocelli was singing the Italian national anthem before the F1. Wow, that was stunning.

Watching that too

Brilliant wasn’t it? Fond memories.

60% of this track is full throttle and they have never raced on it before. Going to be a tasty first lap I think.
