Is this going to be a repeat of 2016? Valtteri goes full Nico, wins the championship and retires immediately after Abu Dhabi?

Turning into glue as we speak

Bottas told Mercedes after the race: >To whom it may concern, FUCK YOU We've got a Rosberg style uprising happening.

(The bonus question I got wrong by the way)

Yes but Hamilton is the one to retire after seething too much.

Reliability should be better after another 12 months of development surely?
Matthew Harris
Ferrari are actually geniuses, here's why:
They knew they could not fight the Mercs today. So what they did was force Hamilton into an early pit stop and ruin his and Vettel's race, securing Bottas' win.

Sebastian Hill
I for one hope bottas continues to btfo Hamilton for the rest of the season
Nicholas Mitchell
This is Bottas I would love to see for rest of the season. Dominates the race and tell haters (myself included) to go fuck themselves after the race. Keep it up Valtteri and I might actually like you.
give the kid 2 or 3 races and he'll consistently have vettel's measure
Michael Foster
>Bottas gets dropped by Mercedes for Ocon (confirmed around mid May), he and his side of the garage say FUCK IT and continue to race (think Wobbler and his garage around 2012 where the garages weren't talking to each other) >Bottas wins WDC, has no race seat, moves to the only available slot at Williams (Kubica goes back to reserve driver) >Has shit season with Williams because stopping all development to focus on 2021 >Williams signs engine deal with Renault who stop all engine development late 2019 to focus on 2021 >Williams-Renault goes on to win 5 in a row with Bottas and whoever they can bother putting in the second car
The best timeline.
Owen Powell
>Ferrari is ruled by a jewish swiss guy >Vettel wanna be Schumi but he royally sucks >Honda goes better
I can't fucking explain how much I hate ferrari now, its wannabe engineers, its pit management and Vettel and his attitude. This is a farce! Fuck this! Ferrari won't win any GP.
Getting seriously tired of this "muh funnel Vettel at all costs" strat that Ferrari keeps pulling. Such fucking pussies.
Isaac Clark
Fuck lads I was happy to miss quali but this race sounds like it was fun. That Bottas too. So should I rewatch the whole race or only the highlights later when I'm back home?

A chunk of the floor is missing, not sure how or why at this stage”
HYPE CANCELLED
Brody Lewis
Hamilton had balance issues because there was bunch of floor missing on his car
Connor Roberts
So what?
LeCuck only caught up because Vetlel was having engine problems. He was worse off the entire weekend. Why would you let your number 2 driver through, he had no chance of catching Max anyway.
Lecuck got absolutely raped all weekend and only caught up with Vettel because he had engine problems. I know it's hard to accept because you've all been pushing your faggot "Lecute" meme for an entire year and now you feel embarrassed but this is the cold truth.

I remember when I was a lil kid, in the 90s, and Dallas was all the rage in HUngary. We went on holiday to a low tier hotel thing, and it had only one big tv in the hall, and people were watching this shit I hated Dallas even as a kiddo So I went there and switched channels. Immeditely 10 people started shout at me Felt bad because of it for years
So basically most of the new things for this season are working? DHL Fastest Lap Haul Ass Point (tm) was exciting even after Bottas had crossed the line abd multiple drivers reported that following is easier even if Aus is hard still hard to overtake which should make overtake happen in other tracks. It's a shame that Ferrari dropped the ball somehow, otherwise this would be looking like an excellent season.
Ryder Sullivan
Holy shit you're deluded
Thomas Parker
Could BLYAT have Gaslys seat mid year if he continues to outperform him in a majority of races?
So why did he ask the team about being so slow? He would've known if it was just tyre issues.
Charles Russell
He definitely did. Top speeds and average speeds are way down from Merc and Honda engines and even compared to Leclerc. Don't know why he hid the fact though.
Nathaniel Bailey
I would touch myself if that happened and he started beating Max.
same guy who stood in front on the projector here. You are bringing up some memories. Me and my Dad got chased away from a BMX track by a crowd of angry bogans because I kept throwing handfuls of pebbles down the large berm/bend in the track, didn't know why maybe I was hoping to cause a crash

Christian Ramirez
amx on a red bull isn't winning WDCs any time soon. meanwhile rbr, with a car as good as the mercedes have now, could easily win WDCs and WCCs with good but not great drivers who don't lose it under pressure. the most talented driver isn't always the one who wins the most, you need to learn how to play for your team.

Calm down Pekka, it's just one race. We need to wait and see if Bottas can actually keep doing this.
kubica: >We opted to start on the hard tyre to get experience on them but, I got a good start for those tyres. In turn one, I was on the inside and on the exit of the corner one of the Red Bull’s moved right to avoid another contact and we touched, damaging my front wing so I had to come in to box. Additionally, on lap three, I lost one of my mirrors, so the blue flags weren’t easy

tbqh if your car is underperforming this badly it might be best to see the race as another practice session to get some laps in on different tires. Perhaps pick up a point in case of carnage.
Truly a finn o af high caliber iq, this will most likely happen and /f1/ is too meme driven to see it coming. They'll all turn into lewis when he doesn't come first.

as an Aussie, I think Ricciardo had a huge reality check today. You don’t throw a Red Bull contract out the window. I don’t give a fuck who you are. Honda were great today, just knowing Honda was re-signing should have been enough to say you know what, where do I want to be... mid pack or passing Ferrari.
why, do you want a FUCKING NIGGER HAMILCOON SPOOK to win?
Jackson Gomez
Why do you got point for them they didn't finish in the point ?

Well, marko said in an interview after the race that the honda engine is on the level of the one of mercedes, just the chassis is not quite there yet but they expect improvements for Bahrain.

Performance in the race, beating team mate, gaining positions from the start and whatnot
Who is going to be the first driver who comes in for a pitstop in the final laps to get the fastest lap point and the Down syndrome afflicted pit crew don't put his wheel on properly?
Chase Torres
Fuck. Last two weren't feet because I'm essentially blind posting. This one is though.
Well the positives I can take from Australia are that Red Bull look fast, Buttass seems hungry, and the Renault engine is still abysmal, that's it though.
>Ricky decides he doesn't want to be a wobbler >Moves teams, gets paid a truck load & gets good starts >outcome is exactly the same as last year Oh well

Literally nothing happened after start, which can probably be found from youtube.

I think so yes, okay race so pretty good for a Melbourne. Good way to get hyped up for the rest of the season. Highlights might also do, but I always prefer to watch the full race.

Ayden Barnes
Yeah i do. It was awful on Friday but great saturday and sunday (except for the onboards not working for some of the race today).
Honestly feels good to have a proper high quality, reliable stream after years of shitty reddit streams and the wild old days of actually watching RTL. 30 bucks for the whole year was a good deal.

Josiah Lewis
There was a 50% off promo before the winter tests and germany i believe is one of the cheapest (if not the cheapest) countries for F1TV anyway at 65€/year. So i got it for 32 bucks.
Apparently there were some extra codes and pricing bugs that couldve pushed it down to 15, but i wasnt aware of those. Pretty great though, would never have guessed to get an official F1 streaming service at such a cheap price a couple of years ago.
Hey, I enjoyed it for other reasons too >Bottas pushing for fastest lap instead of cruising it home >Tires reacting different from what I'm used to, adding overcut to the bag of tricks >Alfa fucking up the Nazi's strategy, fucking up not only his race, but also of the train behind him >There weren't many overtakes (this being Melbourne), but it does feel like there were more attempts this time >Wheel nut >Aussie curse >McKek You can get most of this out of the highlights, but I enjoy watching it unfold

feels so good gimi fucked off to alfa. absolutely no mention of him other than few brief appearances on screen during the race as a background, he's another completely irrelevant midfield driver now
same applies to koobitza lol, muh hollywood comeback story and yet he existed only as a mobile chicane. he needs to deliver and it better be very soon, because press and (((social))) media don't care about anything other than results
Hudson Cruz
No he won't, he never will
Kevin Myers
Heard a rumor that this years cars - or maybe just this years merc - would be quite heavy to drive and require some wrestling to get it around the track. Bottas starts the new season bulging with extra muscle mass and has clearly taken advantage of the new increased weight limits. He immediately looks better while vegan Hamilton has trouble. Coincidence?
Facts: >Ricciardo wont get a podium this seasoon >Leclerc wont win a single race >Amx is going to expose Vettlel all season long >MWL >Gimi will get a podium
Noah Nguyen
>Tell them that his floor was damaged and that's why he finished behind Bottas.
Those ones are quite rare, bet lewis gave them to him.

who are we kidding here? he will expose ricky though

>Make new rules to make Overtaking with DRS easier >It's the Same shit as last year
Christopher Wilson
How many of you lot stayed up to watch the race earlier? Tried to & fell asleep within the opening laps only to wake up with 2 laps left so closed the stream. Bit surprised Bottas got a result like this desu
It seemed like following was easier. Also tires started overheating closer to the car infront than before, so small steps. Maybe the 2021 rule changes will actually producer better racing. I'm cautiously optimistic
I have seen some vegan bulking live. Seems like deliberate masochism to me.
Yes, yes, ha ha, thanks a lot. Let's rather say "an occasional visitor". I was aware of those desu replacements and so on, but that onions thing was new. Makes no sense to me but probably /pol/ is to blame as usual.

Vettel meant that relatively to his own pace. Leclerc was much faster at that point. Binotto confirmed after the race that they don't understand the lack of pace compared to testing

They probably didn't have the pace required even with softest tyres. Engine safe mode to even finish race.

i do have on friday it was total shitshow. They improved it by saturday, but the shitty bug that you can't switch to the fx track from english only from other languages is still pain in the ass
