Formula 1 is back! Free practice for the first GP of the season begins tomorrow at 6:30 EST. Qualifying will be on Friday at 11:00 EST and the race will be Saturday at 10:00 EST.

I have a feeling were gonna be watching another year of Verstappen/Red Bull dominance

Oh cool! It's like the first sign of the beginning of the end, of winter.

Is that 06:03 EST or 18:00 EST though?

I used to watch most races that started at 08:00 back when I was working overnights.
My sleep was so janky I missed most of the races in our around my timezone though.

It is 6:30 in the morning. Bahrain is a night race because it's intolerably hot in Bahrain during the day thanks to automotive carbon emissions.

Im curious to find out who is going to be taking that open Mercedes seat in 2025. I personally think it should go to Albon. He has improved so much since his failed stint at Red Bull and he consistently outperforms the Williams he is currently stuck with. Id like to see what he can do with a faster car now that hes got more experience under his belt.

Ya, I thought that generally was much later in the season.

It has been interesting seeing Max going from a race wrecker, to an actual champion.

Last year's Formula 1 season was something else. How the fuck did Red Bull dominate so much


They have been nipping at the heal of Mercedes for a bit, and they finally landed it.

It was nice have more three-way races for manufactures though.
The whole "spoiler alert, Lewis wins" thing was getting old.

BTW: Spoiler alert, Lewis wins, is a quote from a CEman. ~Parrapa, who I miss as a poster.
Oh, and he was correct when he said it.

But, yes he has gotten much better.
Lewis, I'm not so sure of.

I like F1's decision to just call them RB HONDA RBPT.

On the other hand they couldn't get away from Kick Sauber Ferrari for some reason. :/

Predictions for the top 3 tomorrow? Max will most likely be pole of course, but who do see being 2 and 3? I see it being any combination of the following:

Perez
Hamilton
Russell
Leclerc
Sainz
Alonso

LeClerc had a brake balance issue from what I heard

I think realistically Ferrari only cares about manufacturer standings this year. No one's touching Max, and if Checo has no internal friction, he's can bag second again.

That's the crazy thing about Checo imo. The internet jabbing about him underperforming, and he still nabbed 2nd overall. Pretty much every side should leave him be. That's literally as good as it's gonna get. The partnership between him and RB to keep going with a 2nd place driver campaign is probably a deal neither will top outside of him.

I would root for Albon to gain that seat, basically to elevate his own career, but I don't think anyone is in talk for the driver's championship as long as Max and the car development are consistent. Only slight hope is a Lewrarri miracle.

I think the conditions of the tires may have been a legit reason to the team orders, but the timing was a little wtf.

The Gasly thing last year was way more offensive (and it's up to debate how proper the team orders were originally established). The bad timing asked him to literally throw his finish.

I don't know much about Yuki.

I guess Ricardo is considered a Vet at this point.
Pretty sure he is "_" close to winning the Triple Crown of Auto sports.
Not sure if he is going to, but it would be cool if he did.

I don't want to jump to conclusions, but Jos seemingly inserting himself into the Horner situation is very questionable.

Multiple times Max has shared stories of how his had was hard on him and if the stories are true it's just blatant abuse.

Oh, my bad, I missed the Jos bit.
I thought was Max.

Well, then, there is probably a reason his name doesn't come up to much.
I knew Max's dad was a Driver, but I did not know all of that.

Yeah. There are a lot of interviews where Max casually talks about how awful his dad was and he just kinda brushes it off thinking its normal while everyone around him looks uncomfortable.

Jos was arrested once on attempted murder charges for allegedly running his ex girlfriend down in his car. The charges were dropped, but its still alarming. I believe he was arrested another time before that for abuse charges as well but Id have to look that up. Hes just not a good person

What if these sightings with Jos and Toto is a plot twist?

Jos is working with Toto to bring in Horner and Newey and Max in a collective RB kibosh scheme?
