A thread to discuss all things related to Formula One.

Last Race: Bahrain Grand Prix - Winner: Lewis Hamilton
Next Race: Spanish Grand Prix

Will update the OP at a later date.

Looking forward to the next race!

Hopefully McLaren Honda make a few more steps forward. Weird seeing Jenson and Fernando at the back of the grid.

Should be good! The last race was quality!

Yeah definitely. If McLaren just made some improvement again that would be good, they definitely made some progress in the last race, despite the race retirements.

Yeah they looked far better than in Melbourne. If they can get themselves ahead of Force India soon, that'd be decent and then they can start chasing down the Saubers' and other mid tier teams. It'll probably take a fair few more races but as long as progress is made every race, its good.

Definitely. Yeah, it will take a while, but hopefully McLaren can get there. Would be good if both Alonso and Button can finish the next race.

Very happy Vettel won, great to see Merceded getting beaten on track, unlike their 3 losses last year. I do believe Vettel can have multiple world titles at in the future.

ConGard · April 3, 2015 11:36PM

Hopefully McLaren can progress again in the next race and have at least one car finish while being competitive. A few more races with the same level of progression as last race pace wise and improvements in stability and hopefully they can become a big team again. Would be great if they follow the same course as Williams kinda did last year by making massive strides mid season

Far too many McLaren fans

Fair play to them, most McLaren fans I know buggered off to Merc when Lewis left.

How competitive do you think Ferrari will be in the next race? The last race was a great performance but a contributing factor tbf was the Mercedes strategy during the race.

stickey · April 4, 2015 12:34AM

Vettel hasn't got the best record in China (qualified well at Red Bull just bottled the race itself) and we were blown out by the Mercs here last year. Confident enough of both Kimi and Seb getting into the points.

If we set up for the straight lines again like in Malaysia we'll be close. Saying that, I can't see past a Merc 1-2 here.

Still, McLaren are responsible for that creature.

Still fancy Williams to give us a good fight for second in the Constructors. Would have been great if you could have rescued Bruno from Formula E (❤️❤️❤️❤️ hell, what a downfall).

Sutil is hilarious. Remember when he attacked the Lotus owner with a broken champagne glass?

Bruno in the role would have been excellent but Sutil is awful, I'd rather claire fill in. Idk, while the Mercedes engines have helped us get the ❤️❤️❤️❤️ away from 16th and 17th they're pretty much stunting any chance of progression. It's not looking too good, think Bottas will beat Kimi in the drivers. Think as soon as Red Bull get their ❤️❤️❤️❤️ together it'll probably be us and them for 3rd

LiveArsenal · April 4, 2015 4:25AM

Go Kimi and Ferrari all the way. But IMO, unfortunately I think Mercedes will dominate again in China with Ferrari in 2nd and Williams in 3rd. If any of you guys knew already, this years Ferrari is very well suited in extreme hot and humid conditions, explained by James Allison himself. It would be very hard to achieve another race like Malaysia but I'll remain optimistic

alexanderk26 · April 4, 2015 4:28AM

Ferrari looked good in Malaysia but I don't see them maintaining that. Mercedes is going to dominate once again. Hopefully I'm wrong

LiveArsenal · April 10, 2015 4:39AM

China this weekend! Free practice 1 is done and Ferrari are 3 and 4. Hope that Ferrari have another good result

Handy Andy · April 10, 2015 4:41AM

Only saw a few days ago that f1 2015 was announced, hopefully the step up to next gen will see a big improvement

They'll have it for PC right? And is there a set date for the release?

Handy Andy · April 10, 2015 5:27AM

Think it's on pc

Release date is sometime in June I believe

April 10, 2015 6:04AM

I think lewis will be hard to stop in China but forget the result. What abomination will Eddie Jordan wear this week?

Andrew · April 10, 2015 2:04PM

why was everyone putting a 1:40+ in the final parts of P2? Tyres? I just watched the last 10mins and compared the fastest lap times

Yeah probably, or there isn't any need to push for a faster time since it's just practice. Dunno...

Apollo · April 11, 2015 12:27PM

Had hoped that Mclaren would just be able to get into q2 this time. Shame, hopefully they can have an alright race.

Testing long runs, race setting.

Seeing as Fernando has nothing better to do, let's hope he does what's best for everyone and accidentally blocks Lewis in a corner.

Yes

. Also I heard that once Alonso's contract expires then he will retire.

Don't do this to me, if he ends his career with two world champsionships, one of the biggest tragedys in f1

A little over an hour till the race. Come on Ferrari. I think Rosburg might blow the start.
