And which one is Alonso 😂

William Bennett53 said:I didn't actually catch that; I was listening from another room. 😁

neonfox65, there is no way this could happen to Alonso. Honestly, don't you think it’s about time he made his comeback? ☕

Man, Rick is just gonna absolutely smoke Alonso again this year... ☕

Honestly, McLaren is just a total joke...

stormybadger8 said:Ricciardo hit a wall...🙂
And honestly, a snail running a marathon would be faster than that car, so of course it's a Renault...😁

Why don't you just start rooting for Hamilton so we can actually have an interesting season?🎉🤣

Look, there's really no need to go looking for trouble.😁If he was actually rooting for Hamilton, then Sebastian Vettel would have walked away with the championship.🍿.

But it simply won't happen. It just isn't going to work!

Put the app on your phone and watch. There is no excuse. 😁

Jack Kelly5 said:Man, Daniel Ricciardo is looking pretty rough lately. I mean, making a rookie mistake like that right on home soil... it’s just painful to watch. I guess Max Verstappen is just going to absolutely steamroll him this season.

So Rick messed up, big deal. He was actually faster than a hyped-up Max in all three practice sessions and during qualifying before he went off...☕

Romain Grosjean 🙏

mellowtiger83 said:Well, here he is. He put his money on $333 Alonso - Perez and won, though it was hardly a massive windfall.🙂

How much did Sinek lose out on for pole position?

It's fine 😁

I lost my bet on pole—was banking on Vettel...😂

Man, things might actually get a little tense tomorrow, I guess.
👋

You used to be so easygoing.

Way to go, Sebastian Vettel!👍
This is awesome!

northerncobra31 said:How much did Sinek lose out on for pole position?

I didn't bet on pole because I had absolutely no clue who was going to take it. In fact, I actually sent a private message to that fellow advising him against betting on pole at all.

But since I'm sitting on about $200 from the bookie now, I might consider placing a wager on the race itself.😁

Though, I won't be telling you what 🎉

Maybe you aren't...
What are they even betting on in the sportsbooks? 🤷
Is this the standings right after qualifying or the official results? 🤔

Perez almost certainly picked up a penalty there and ended up starting right behind Alonso.

rustyridge10 said:It feels like Mercedes isn't quite the untouchable force they used to be. I honestly think Ferrari is going to give them a serious run for their money this year, and judging by how qualifying went, they might already be closing the gap. The only real outlier might be Hamilton himself, since he's basically in a league of his own on the grid right now...
I was really hoping Kimi would show a lot more pace today, but he was a bit of a letdown out there. Hopefully, things turn around soon
Lance Stroll and Jolyon Palmer are honestly just a joke. I'm really hoping Williams makes up for all the damage these guys are going to cause them throughout the season

Even if Vettel had a dominant car, without Hamilton there to check him, he wouldn't be able to hold anyone off—much like that old battle back in Austin years ago.🎉

Just put it all on the bet that Fernando Alonso will be going at Honda over the radio; that one feels like a sure thing.

Oh, and did you hear that useless Jolyon Palmer was tearing into Renault just because of his own poor results? Honestly, someone needs to get him away from there and let them bring up that young Italian kid from Sauber.

mellowtiger83 said:Simon Resta is a total design genius. You all might act surprised when you see Vettel grab pole position in Los Angeles, but I won't be shocked because I know things you don't. Gajs knows something, and his predictions always come true.

Marchionne can start sucking up to Resta along with Ariveberne starting today. Vettel is on fire right now. He’s a five-time world champion who only Lewis Hamilton can challenge—and even then, only if Lewis is performing at some miraculous level. You guys aren't going to figure out what Gajs knows. Just wait until the Los Angeles race; you'll be falling out of your chairs watching the stunned faces in the Mercedes and Red Bull camps. It’s going to happen during qualifying, and until then, you won't truly grasp what's coming.

You seemed pretty certain Vettel would take pole.

It's a good thing you won't tell me what you're betting on; I like keeping my money.

That guy Palmer certainly has guts making claims like that. He's lucky he's even still in F1 after last season, where he couldn't finish a single weekend without spinning out or hitting something.

Just realized I completely screwed myself thanks to Richie 😳
I can predict just about anything except for that clown Richie landing in the top 8 🤦

If only Doug had rooted for him until the end of his career 😠

There it is. Like I said, Ferrari just didn't have the pace for pole...
Sebastian Vettel says he could've squeezed out a slightly faster lap, but definitely not enough to change anything...

I personally hope that, for the sake of those of us who truly love this sport, neonfox65 will start rooting for Mercedes sometime soon.
