Will be away for the weekend, can only watch the race on Wednesday evening. Yay.

NEEEUM!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111ONEONEone

I am the great predictor and I bring you predictions for posts in this thread over the race weekend:

-What did we expect, this race is always boring if it doesn't rain

-No Rain expected

-The New Front Wing rules haven't done shit for keeping the cars close together

-That shouldn't be a VSC, that should definitely have been a SC, that's completely changed the course of this race. AGAIN

-Wow testing wasn't a lie, Ferrari are going to dominate this season

-Wow testing wasn't a lie, Williams are somehow slower than last year's car

-Wow Honda are a lot better than expected, didn't expect Red Bull to be quicker than Mercedes

-Big Crash for Stroll, why are we surprised when he wrecks machines any more?

-Nice to see Leclerc start his first Ferrari race on pole. When will Ferrari ask him to move over for Vettel in the race do you think?

-Sebastian Vettel world champion 2019

You could have saved all those words and just said "Try not to get your hopes up over the show and I'll try not to get my hopes up over Lewis."

Damn, I was hoping the "NEEEUM" sound would from that guy last season making car noises over the open mic on Sky lol

Gogo Leclerc, rooting for my man.

Also can't wait to read complaints about F1 again this weekend.

2 minutes before a GP: "Oh boy! F1! I can't wait!"
2 laps into the GP: "Fucking F1!"

Regarding Williams, let's all take a minute of silence and remember the first edition at Melbourne, and the fantastic battle between Villeneuve and Hill, far away from the rest of the field.

Mind you, the same can still happen this year, with Russell and Kubica going at it, far away from the rest of the field.

I only remember the Barichello crash...

High hopes for this one, as I always have for the Australian Grand Prix.

So cross fingers...

I hope the Renaults will be in front, but I guess that won't happen.

F1 Fans: The rule changes will make the Australian GP exciting!

*boring race*

F1 Fans:

Do you mean Brundle?

It's not really the fans, it's the pundits and channels like Sky saying THIS WILL BE THE GREATEST SEASON EVER OMG LEWIS GOING FOR HISTORY NEW RULES EXCITING RACING BLA BLA

Apparently I don't even remember that one then.
Ya, yellow car flipping in the kitty litter a lot.

Barrichello crashed into the front of Half Schumacher. At least that's what Half would have you believe.

broadcasters are still desperate even though their sponsors guaranteed big money but they keep loading on the "ACTION, EMOTION, THRILLS WOOO" bulshit

Oz GP slot is at 3AM in the morning, no one but the fans expecting the usual boredom will wake up early in a sunday to watch that stuff

Fixed it

Is Half a typo for Ralf, or am I missing the joke?
Anyway, Ralf didn't participate in the first Melbourne race.
