That Ferrari sure is a looker!

I agree on the wheel designs look like bubble caps. I'm hoping its function over form lol

Best news for me was watching how the cars could actually follow closely and battle each other. That was one of the major goals of these reg changes. Looking good so far. Many stories to unfold before this one is over....can rb get on top of reliability? Can merc still rise? KMAG! Is there going to be even 1 shoey this season? KMAG! Can Ferrari keep this up?
Oh yeah, KMAG!

I’ll bet that if KMag can pull a win out of his hat, Steiner will drink champagne out of Kevin’s shoe.

Those are just wheel covers. Read all about it here:

How come they did not consult me for these changes?
We all know that’s a bad design - how are they going to see the brake pads?

I will miss those glowing Disks as well.

Hope they don’t affect the heat dissipation but may even help if done right. I think Max was told to cool his brakes at the end of his confrontation with LEC.

We need to have Kmag make that a goal. A Haas Shoey for Steiner.

Liberty Media spicing up F1 this year by having rockets launched at the cars?

Shumi in a HUGE crash.
Took a long time to get him out of the car. Might not have been under his own power.

He was speaking and conscious while still in the car.
They did not show him in the car.

Scary crash. Car broke in half when they lifted it. Makes you wonder about the effect curbs have in this gen of car.

Great thing about having F1 subscription is that I can choose either driver and watch as they race and geez, it feels like the Mercedes drives at like 3/4 of the throttle. The Ferraris and RBR are in a different league. Good for the sport though because they are going at it and the overtakes are glorious. Highly doubt Mercedes will be able to sort their issues in a timely manner.

The DRS zone strategy was hilarious from both of them.

Awesome race. Exactly what I’ve been waiting for with F1. I hope every race is like this going forward. Sad for Checo on the bad luck with the pit stop timing though, but we were given a great race ending as a result
