Pre-season testing begins next month.

Looks like Maldonado is finally getting the boot. Magnussen to replace him.

I think they also need a hood that can be pulled over the cockpit if it rains or gets a bit chilly.

Not that one.

Q2 drawing to a close.

Perez, Hulkenber, Bottas, Alonso, Button, Palmer and Magnussen drop out.

This new qualifying is a bit weird.

Hamilton on pole, Roberg second, Vettel third. Raikkonen, Verstappen, Massa, Sainz and Ricciardo.

I have no idea what in the blue hell just happened.

The session result decided with 3 minutes to spare. Ludicrous.

The thing about F1 is that it seems, unlike in football where the ideas to change something takes decades to come to fruition, any idea, seems to be used in the forthcoming season.

Formula 1 will no longer be shown on terrestrial television from 2019 after Sky Sports announced it had agreed an exclusive deal to broadcast the sport.

The broadcaster currently shares coverage with Channel 4, which took up showing F1 after the BBC ended its contract three years early in 2015.

Sky Sports said the whole of the British Grand Prix would be broadcast on a new "free-to-air" channel.

The five-year deal will also see race highlights shown on the free channel.

:haha:

They've stuck two fingers up at the drivers and engineers with these recent decisions. Totally ignored the recent statement from the driver's about the direction of F1.

The Sky deal might as well be the final nail in the coffin for the sport. What idiots.

Can't believe they're trying the failed qualifying system again. Sums up the FIA.

If Rosberg doesn't win the title this season, Mercedes have to cut him loose. They've tried to give him the upper hand this season but if he still loses out to Hamilton, he'll be a mental wreck. Screws up on the final lap and then tries to take his teammate out. :lol:

Nico crumbles under the slightest bit of pressure. It's not the first time.

Mercedes is the problem. I mean good luck to them for being so far ahead. But their dominance is making it boring. We're back to the days of Ferrari rolling around the track accumulating titles by default. Even then, Schumacher was the best of the bunch so the dominance came from the best car/ best driver combination. But now I think it's more the car than the drivers. Hamilton and Rosberg are fast, and if you had to put your money down you'd put it on Hamilton. But I wonder what we'd be seeing if Vettel or Ricciardo was in a Mercedes? What really needs to happen is for Ferrari and Red Bull to sort their acts out. They have both been shite over the last few seasons. Especially Ferrari. What sort of muppets do they have running that team?

He really does buckle. It took a lot for Mercedes to rebuild his confidence late on last season when Hamilton had already wrapped up the title. He looked void of any confidence up until then. He'll turn to jelly if he loses it again. We'll see if he keeps trying wipe Hamilton out when wheel to wheel again. :lol:

Yeah, Lewis is definitely a world class driver. It was never going to be easy for Nico.

Schumacher never had a proper team mate. Johnny Herbert at Bennetton, Eddie Irvine and Rubens Barrichello at Ferrari. Ferrari never hired a driver to challenge him. They never really needed to.

It's really down to the other teams to pick up the slack. Mercedes built that car from scratch and it switching to the hybrid engines worked in their favour. They were prepared for what was ahead, hence why they were able to get Hamilton on board. I really don't know what the heck the other teams were doing. Mclaren are the worst culprits. Alonso and Button deserve a lot better from their team but it just boils down to poor preparation. I don't think the FIA rules have helped ease the matter either.

Let's hope we don't see team instructions from Mercedes. It’s nothing like the Ferrari days. Schumacher was the best driver but he also had a ridiculous advantage with team instructions. It made it really boring to watch. Even Red Bull their moment of dominance along with team instructions.
