| It's disgusting to kick a rookie out at mid-season. You're running a business, in a billion dollar sport, there's no "giving a bloke a fair go" in this day and age. He's been worse than mediocre. If I had the choice between an 8 time race winner who's finished runners up in the F1 title, ... |

Overrated. A gimmick. Rarely produced a good race.
Although would be great in the DRS era. |

| almost 15 years since this infamous race and one of the worst penalties in the history of not just F1, but sport in general Lewis shortcut a corner and then used the momentum he got to overtake someone and got a penalty for it? He would never have overtaken him had he not gained an advantage the co... |

| I think we need a thread specifically for overblown motorsport hyperbole. E.g: Pre-2002 Hockenheim was the best track ever Monaco is the worst track on the calendar All chicanes are terrible We need to bring back refueling Sprint races will be the downfall of the sport Any take that a champion isn'... |

| It'll be interesting to see the f1 kids fans as adults in a few years time if this continues, they'll probably have a completely different perspective on the drivers than the tired old narratives F1 has been pedalling for years! :lol: F1 needs a third broadcast outside of kids-vision and the normal... |

I'd put Lawson straight into the RB seat in place of Perez. He'll either sink or swim, if he sinks, you've got two more than capable replacements at AT who he can swap with.
Pay Perez to have a holiday/early retirement, unless he wants to take his Telmex money to Williams for Sargeant. |

This race will suck for 140 laps, there will be a late safety car, commentators will try and over hype the finish and it will be mediocre. I’m hoping to be proven wrong.
Edit: great opening post btw |

| I don't mind more racing but it should be done by extending Sunday's Grand Prix by 100km! Fuck that would have made the Qatar Grand Prix even more exciting. Fuck it lets make the 1000km of Spa an F1 race. See if Max can still win on a twelve stop strategy. My solution is a stupid one. Keep the spri... |

| Few things - It's been revealed the series is bleeding money, it lost $2.7m last calendar year (2022). - It could cost up to $10m to get the cars up to parity, which could bankrupt the sport - The Bend might disappear from the calendar next year, because of sanctioning fees - Only 5 races have been ... |

I'm glad someone else thinks this. F1 could go to a two-day event.
Most F1 practices have that 20-30 minute dull patch after their install laps where they do nothing anyway. |

| The race is 5pm Australian time on Sunday so we're super chuffed with the race time If there's any TBK'ers in Melbourne, a few of my friends who have a podcast will get together and watch the race at a pub in Richmond. All are welcome to tag along. You guys have enough material to talk through this... |

Controversial opinion (convenient opinion too being in Australia) but I wish every race was a Saturday race. |

Evolving with modern trends and not listening to geriatric old fucks like us, who do nothing but complain? |

I get to recover all day Sunday after an early start, instead of being bleary eyed all day in the office. As a matter of fact, antipodeans (AEDT) get five races in a ro... |
