Just watching sky sports f1 podcast. There was a bit where Ted Kravitz. With a very knowing look/smile on his face hinted towards Aston Martin being second best team initially. 🤷♂️

I don't know. I still think Ferrari will be up there second best with Mercedes third but Aston will be close. Ferrari did seem to be testing extreme set ups so looked really out of whack on occasions. Mercedes seem to be gloomy but Shovlin said it's not as bad as it seems because they were looking for consistent aerodynamic data rather to setup for the whole season, hence the huge draggy rear wing and being slowest in the speed trap.
De La Rosa did sound very confident on the F1 podcast though but it does sound promising for Aston Martin. And Alpine shouldn't be discounted from being closer to the top three too.
- ScarDuck143 years agoLegend@TotosHeadphones I have an uncanny knack of being able to read people. Ted had a look off he knows something but is unwilling to go all in and say Aston Martin will be second as it’s Aston Martin and if they fall on their face.. He will look foolish and become many memes

Besides, he's always got that look 😅
- Meza9943 years agoSeasoned Ace@TotosHeadphones I really hope for a strong Aston Martin just because i like the characteristics of the car so far and the livery is great haha
However the rest is really pure guess work.. But i love all the Merc fan arguments that the car is gonna be much better with the different wing.. Much lower drag but better downforce.. Sadly not how physics work - or the wing they used was the worst ever made lol.. And depending on how much they faked the lose rear end a lower downforce wing might not help them in the race.. - TotosHeadphones3 years agoSeasoned Ace
@Meza994I'm only going by what Shovlin said in his tech talk with Sky/Kravitz.When the concept is far from what everybody else is doing, it seems only Mercedes know what is really going on. Personally I hope they sort it out because a three (or four) manufacturer battle is far more interesting. I do believe that we may get more excitement from the midfield battle as the pecking order has shifted and RB will run off with both titles.
- ScarDuck143 years agoLegend@Meza994 I’d love Aston to Dominate. If the strolls weren’t there. 🤷♂️

@TotosHeadphones Of course, i didnt say they will be far behind but im just laughing every time i see a Merc fan argue that Merc are clear fastest because of the different wing they will use.. Might very well be Merc are very close to RB, we will only know after qualifying..
@ScarDuck14Haha yeah its a problem but i have full believe in Alonso rather crashing than letting Stroll win when he has a chance lol

@Meza994Oh, I've not seen any Merc fan argue that! That's pretty wild. I don't read comments any more, there's only so much hateful language you can read in one day.
In defence of Daddy Stroll, he's definitively putting his money where his mouth is. With all the facilities upgrades and poaching of staff, they're making a good go of it.

@TotosHeadphonesthere is something I admire about Daddy Stroll. Being a billionaire is definitely one off them😂
But can’t help but see a thunderbird character every time I look at baby Stroll. It’s the eyebrows and vacant expression - Meza9943 years agoSeasoned Ace@TotosHeadphones Yeah its amazing how toxic the fanbase in commentsections is...
Regarding Stroll senior thats true, ideally gave us another title contender in the future - doubt its this year though sadly - TotosHeadphones3 years agoSeasoned Ace
Ahh shame, Mini Stroll has been confirmed for this weekend 😩 I felt that Drugovich deserved his chance.
- 3 years ago
Yeah, he absolutely did.
But let’s see what Lance can do with the new-found pace of that AM. - ScarDuck143 years agoLegend
@TotosHeadphonesAll good I’ve given Drugovichy(pet name) his chance in MyTeam!!! Just love his name. Awesome bad guy name. COD Black Ops messed up with Dragovich…
“Drugovich must die”
Also what I’ve learned from pre season is I fancy Laura Winter🥰🌹and then there’s Bottas new? Look… Not gunna lie I find him weirdly handsome now abit like this guy
- 3 years ago@ScarDuck14 I LOL’d when she genuinely tried to get from Vasseur any insight on where exactly he puts Ferrari in the pecking order.
