F1 Season 2017

[Midwest]

Much like last years thread, testing still ahead, but I wonder whether this years cars will make things more interesting, all will it still be the procession behind the Mercedes's two cars, with the rest, best of the rest?

For some reason, contentiously, I've decided on Sky Q to see F1 in ultra HD. Unfortunately, as I've already experimented, I have to wear my driving glasses (apt really) to notice any difference.

Some might suggest that its more interesting watching paint dry, but last years thread attracted more views than other similar sports threads, so there

Make it more interesting, some things are just not possible

It would seem that both Mercedes and Red Bull may get their car designs "challenged" by other teams in Australia ...... so watch this space. I've had my suspicions that Mercedes were "bending" the rules for a while..

Not unless someones got a big piggy bank to break open.

All the way to Barcelona to watch overpaid numpties drive around in circles, honestly

You can get on that step as well!

 

[Pete999]

You can get on that step as well!

I didn't mean to mock, it's that I can't see the point of FI they nearly always know who is going to win, and if the first 2 are from the same team and the second guy needs the points to be champ the other bloke lets him win, still it's better than Darts that's for sure, how the ---- can Darts be a sport?

 

[Midwest]

But that's just it Pete, at some point in the future Mercedes will stop being the first & second, and another team will be the ones to beat, and then..........errrh see what you mean?

Arrgh, what the hell, it's still exciting seeing the cars go round and round and round and round. You don't know what your missing.

PS I thought Darts were a pop group?

Might just as well be, about as exciting as watching paint dry. I may make an effort to watch some of the F1 now I have nothing to do.

Top man, unfortunately the free to air service of F1 operated by Channel 4, only has the highlights of the first race, the Australian GP, on 27th March. Perhaps a sensible approach for you Pete, as a newbie. You can fast forward through the boring bits, adverts etc. Should last all of 5 mins.

PS Don't mention it to Mrs Pete. Mrs Midwest gets the right hump, when I settle down for the weekend watching free practice 1,2,3, then qualifying then the race itself, with some nice cold beers etc. Still she can go shopping, or whatever Mrs F1 windows do.

Pete, didn't you get scalextric?

I'm have a car mechanical background also, I find the technology behind it all more interesting.

wife bought tickets for birthday.
