And Away We Go. F1 season is finally here. Bahrain Discussion starts here Jeddah page 14 Australia page 42 Baku page 52 Miami page 68 Imola page 77 Monaco page 88 Spain page 93 Canada...
@ScarDuck14 Just watched Trevor's intro and I love it already 😉 But I give it more time to see all the others as well.
UPDATE: Overtake_gg also pointed out few issues but I am not rattled enough, it still seems pretty good. However, Rally Pass is a must, I guess, being it an EA game.
And customisation is nice, especially the livery (although it reminds NFS a little 😉) But still better than nothing at all.
it's great that you are all excited for WRC and want to talk about it, but this section should be about F1 and this thread about the actual F1 Grand Prixs.
@EA_Vendcera Sorry dude. I appreciate what your saying. However back when I started this thread I asked for it to be pinned and it will be used as a general chat as it will be mainly regulars that post on it. I asked if this would be ok in barracks and was told it would be a great idea 😁
@ScarDuck14 Yeah, it's no big deal but let's please keep it on topic. 🙂 If there is something else to talk about, simply create a new thread. Especially conversations about a completely different game would better belong in the other dedicated category for it.
@EA_Vendcera Also I did put it in my very first post on this thread that it’s ok to go off topic provided that we remember it’s about F1. This thread goes off topic constantly. We even discuss how to make the perfect cup of tea. Milk first? No! Last! But come race weekend the topic goes back to F1. This thread is a safe space for all the regulars who have posted on the F1 games for years. And somewhere they can still post on this forum without fear off getting toxic replies
Besides me talking about WRC on here looks to have got EA a couple of sales. 😇
Mark Hughes commenting on Ricciardo's impact on Alpha Tauri form as of late.
Obligatory refresh on Ricciardo's style by Driver61!
Edit: Hmm... Considering that not everyone will have the foresight of opening up the image on a new tab in full res, here's what Hughes said 😅
The AlphaTauri is indeed a much improved car of late. But that is very much down to Ricciardo having taken the team in a completely different set up direction.
He!s living with a much livelier rear than the previous drivers had felt comfortable with.
Well that was an anticlimactic end to qualifying. Strange to see Aston Martin finding so much pace. But Sergio starting 9th is not good for his championship fight with Lewis
😫 Some of his radio messages today have not helped his portrayal of not being a self - entitled idiot. He's like a man-child. He claims to work for the team but he's only ever following his own agenda.
Excellent racing for third and quite a comeback for the Astons.
Mercedes are cooked for Las Vegas. Oh lordy, similar air density conditions to Sau Paulo and also that long straight with the parachute rear wing. Cooked.
When I see Charles LeCrash again. I couldn’t help myself and laughed in his direction. But after I heard what the issue was. I was gutted for him. He thinks he’s unlucky. But majority of his bad luck is caused by Ferrari.
Seeing Landos start and then attempt a move on Max. I was praying today was the day and McLaren had found a Red Bull beating setup. Only to see the delta every lap. Lando would gain a tenth and every time Max would respond with 2 tenths.
Georgie needs to shut his mouth. He just embarrasses himself every time he opens his mouth.
Speaking of Las Vegas. Apparently construction off the track and caused so much disruption that questions are being asked whether hosting a F1 race each year is worth while. Casinos and related hospitality industry are not convinced the race will bring in crowds who would have already spent big just to see the race. To make it worthwhile. Casinos/Hotels that trackside have had to pay Liberty Media huge amounts so they can view the race from their property. If they don’t pay screens would be out up to block their view 🤷🏻♂️. Then hospitality workers in vegas who massively rely on Tips are concerned that most F1 fans will be from Europe where tipping isn’t expected.
@ScarDuck14 I still don't like you calling Charles that 😉 I just wonder why these things don't happen to Carlos. Sabotage from other side of garage? 😉
Yes, George should shut his mouth up. Lewis moans from time to time, too, but Russell has brought it to another level recently. Spoiled privileged boy. Toto should put him back into Williams car, I'd like to see how he does against Albon.
@P4st3l1ak At least Hamilton and other drivers keeps it PG unlike Verstappen (and Yuki)... I'd take somebody occasionally moaning than someone having full blown expletive meltdowns on radio where every one can see and hear but that's another story on FIA and their want to penalize role models more....
I'd like to see Albon back at a top team rather than him stomping Russell in a Williams
Later today @dancrodrigues will share his first hand experience of Oconzinho's talent.
Hey guys! So good to be back - being through some harsh time at work, geez...
So, that was my view:
From there I could see Ocon clearly losing the front of the car and going straight into Alonso - by the way I was justing pointing there and telling my wife how easy is to lose the car there. Later at home I saw Alonso's onboard with him turning slightly to the left so... mixed feeling about it: Ocon certainly committed a mistake but Alonso could've done better.
Overall Mercedes and mostly Hamilton had a huuuge support but like freaking huge. After him, people where supporting Lando and (to my surprise) Leclerc... and was really disappointing ending his the race with a DNS.
Gonna try to show up more, missing you guys!
Edit: the apocalyptical rain that we saw in Q3 was heavy on the city: Today there's still +700k households with no electric supply, not to mention the trees blocking streets, water shortage as the water pumps stopped. Myself I still got no internet at home and/or mobile - writing now from my office.
@dancrodriguesWe miss you too. Well I do. Definite shortage off happy friendly folk around these days
Got into it a few days with another Radoko account. He accused me of being the most argumentative person on here. If people wouldn’t post nonsense I wouldn’t be argumentative 😇😂
