Kašljuc, Kašljuc.....

Let’s revisit some established history:

Just one tiny little bit of that masterpiece of a thread. 🙏

Ah, the golden age of the F1 subforums. 😢

Man, what a pathetic bar. 😁

Morgan Murphy7 said:That guy Nunčak, or whatever his name is, from India... 🤷

He dropped out in the very first lap. 😁

Arthur Roberts12 said:Sebastian Vettel needs to change something about his driving style

Are we really going to slap the "car wrecker" label on Sebastian Vettel now, just like we did with Kimi Räikkönen?🤦

Daniel Booth37 said:Not exactly an exciting race. Those noses on the cars are arguably the ugliest I've ever seen. That said, the season might actually get interesting since Ferrari, Red Bull, and McLaren all seem to be in the mix. Happy enough with the king taking 6th. 🙏

Based on your handle and that last sentence, your expertise is pretty obvious. 🙏

As for the RS27-2010—it was already clear before the season even started that it would be the weak link. Adrian Newey has been the top designer for the last 15 years, and Sebastian Vettel is clearly the successor to the great seven-time world champion, but the RS27-2010 is a complete disaster.

Even Red Bull's second team has a better engine. 🙂

hollowgull5 said:Can anyone point out a driver from this race who actually showed some real grit? 😕

Webber just showed a whole lot of nothing... mostly smoke. 😁

Hey there. 🙄

Jason Campbell70 said:Right now, Vettel is much like Kimi was at the start of his career.

Fast in bursts, sure. But is he consistent enough for a title? Not yet. Then there's the issue of the RS27-2010 🤣.

Will he become world champion? I doubt it even for a second.
But not with Red Bull.

Jason Campbell70 said:I'd put Red Bull right behind that top trio—McLaren, Mercedes GP, or Ferrari. The main reason? The RS27-2010 , which struggled to match the performance of the Ferrari and Mercedes engines last year.

02.20.2010.

Like I said, you just can't rely on the RS27-2010. ☕

I should have just gone for a bike ride instead. 🙂

Sebastian Vettel - 4.0 in the pits

Felipe Massa - 4.5

Jason Campbell70 said:How long will the pit stops take?

Around 4 seconds, I'd guess?

☕

Those were easily some of the most tedious laps we've seen in Formula 1 in years.

If Michael Jordan hadn't come back, I honestly think Formula 1 would have viewership levels similar to MLS after just a few races.🙄

Finally, I can get some sleep.

Just wake me up when they start hitting the pits. 😁

@Michael Lee4 🙂

Michael Lee4 said:Silver Arrow 🤣 🙏

Silver Arrow, I assume.

Is this just a contest to see who can come up with the most ridiculous😁 prediction? 🙄

Alright then....

I’m calling it now: a blizzard hits between laps 32 and 34.

We all know who handles the snow best. Americans!
And we definitely know which cars excel in winter conditions. Jeeps!

Vitaly Petrov cruises to an easy first win. 🙏

Now, for something serious—a sharp turn one, cold brakes, and the increased car weight will almost certainly cause a massive pileup at Turn 1 on the opening lap.
My prediction? At least three drivers from the top five starting positions will be out. Jenson Button, Nico Rosberg, and Felipe Massa and Robert Kubica.

Just saw this on the FOX news broadcast.

Headline: "A New Formula 1 Season Begins"
And right underneath? "Schumacher 7."

😉

No matter how tense or neck-and-neck the competition gets, you have to admit it—people watch Formula 1 for Michael Schumacher. ☕

Alonso is at Ferrari, McLaren pulled off a brilliant loophole to bypass the rules, Senna is back in Formula 1, Vettel already signaled he’s a title contender after just one qualifying session, and Lotus has returned to the grid, but...

None of them create this kind of buzz. None of them stir the public or drive Formula 1 ratings quite like the magnificent and great—Michael Schumacher.

Love him or hate him, you just have to accept that He is the Greatest of All Time. 🙏

Whether he can clinch the championship with Mercedes? That’s practically a given.

With that level of talent, that depth of knowledge, and that German precision, all he needs to secure the title is the technical expertise of a powerhouse like Mercedes.
And everyone knows Mercedes has it.

To the haters of the great Michael Schumacher: try to keep your cool.

Michael is back, and he looks more determined than ever. 🙏

stormybadger8 said:Word on the street is that Red Bull is somehow 1.8 seconds faster. Is that even possible? 🤷

From a dead stop to moving again in just 1.8 seconds? Impossible.

mistybear87 said:That really depends on how you define time delta.
In Formula 1, we don't measure success in seconds. We measure it in hundredths. ☕

Of course, there isn't a single rule written down anywhere. So, feel free to think whatever you like. ☕

Votev. ☕

mistybear87 said:the prediction is 3 seconds or less ☕

When someone uses a phrase like "around 4 seconds," they're implying a window between 3 and 5 seconds. ☕

How long will the pit stops take?

About 4 seconds, I'd guess?

stormybadger8 said:It’s all just five tenths. But seriously, how much could that actually impact qualifying times? 🤷

Of course they would.

In previous seasons, when everyone was running roughly the same starting weights, you’d see it happen: the track conditions would just hit perfectly for one specific car. Combine that with the right Setup, and suddenly, that car just finds its rhythm and performs. It's rare, but it happens.
We’re stuck in a tough spot. We have to set up the car for two completely opposite scenarios: one where the car is empty, and another where we're dealing with an extra 450 pounds of weight. How do you even begin to balance that?

stormybadger8 said:Besides that, does the rulebook even state that all of this is prohibited from being readjusted once qualifying is over? 🤷

Besides that, even if they wanted to prohibit it, who would actually enforce it? And more importantly, how could they even possibly control it?

Unless they decide to keep all the cars locked down until just before the race starts? 🤣

Parc ferme? We've been doing that for years now.
