swifttiger75 said:Just an announcement for those actually competing in the championship—I need 8 drivers to help me run some tests. If you're up for a little fun. 🕺

Count me in too!

Fine—let's just move on to Group B then.

Michelle Palmer6, I have a quick question for you. Could we potentially set up the following on the subforum—provided everyone is okay with it:

one thread dedicated to stadiums—just to debate which ones are the best and all that
a second thread—a poll to predict the playoffs winner
a third thread—the "controversy corner"—to discuss refereeing blunders and match analysis
a fourth thread—match schedules and final scores

and let's have a specific thread for our National Team—you know, to track where they're training, where we're playing, the roster, etc.

And if nobody objects, maybe Group D too.

What on earth was that? I can't just go out there and scoop up all the points myself—now we absolutely have to land in the top 5 in Barcelona if we want any chance at a comeback.

BTW, I'm thinking about introducing a Cup format (both individual and team)—winners would snag a 10-point bonus.

p.s. someone buy me two bottles of bourbon and some jerky if Bottas grabs another win—and throw in one more for every single Safety Car

Panda is feeling satisfied after this opening round—they earned that win in Australia. Whether the rest of the field can actually catch up remains to be seen in Bahrain in just under two weeks.

I’m pretty happy with how the team started—even if I think we could've snatched a top 5 spot—but being up by 31 points overall right out of the gate is a solid result.

p.s. they should really introduce SC or RF during the race—maybe fastest lap or a speed trap? What do you guys think?

Greetings, fellow Formula 1 fans!

You’ve probably been waiting quite a while for this decision—given my long absence from this PDF. SO, here it is: even though I wasn't initially planning on getting involved in this, I’ve decided to jump in, purely because of the massive interest from YOU guys. As for the team lineup, I'll leave all that to private discussions via DM, just like Kyle Edwards5 suggested—so, shoot me a PM if you're interested in joining my squad, and I'll be sharing the contact info and our logo very soon.

The number #21 is reserved specifically for me.

Yours, @brighthound8

It’s pretty obvious Ingra wants to lock this deal down—he isn't playing games in Miami anymore. (Wait, wasn't there some reporter like Danko Družijanić covering this?) Anyway, that's what I heard over at CNN. Does anyone actually have more intel on this?
