Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts love black paint!

In F1 Mate the Lotus was a normal looking car the Renault doesn't particularly stand out.

I'm not saying it's not good I'm just saying it's hard to make a GREAT livery for an F1 team' in black.

It's not bad but it's not great.

And GREAT' is what Mercedes usually achieves'.

Okey but I'm still wondering what a HAAAAAAS is? Is it a GP2 Team' That some one let on track?

I mean it's a funny Prank and all but isn't it F1 cars only?

After watching FP2, it looks very 2 tier at the moment.

When Hamilton tops the sheets at Friday, normally he stays there until Sunday evening.... Looks like he is still planning to do some talking on the track as well.

I'm still holding out hope. We'll see what happens when the fuel comes down and the engines turn up.
2007 - Beats 2005 & 2006 WDC Alonso. 1-0
2008-09 - Beats Kovalainen. 2-0
2010-12 - Beats 2009 WDC Button. 2-1
2013-16 - Beats 2016 WDC Rosberg. 3-1
2017-21 - Beats Bottas. 5-0
2022-24 - Loses to Russell. 1-2 (but outscores him)
2025-?? - Leclerc. TBC
Just the car???

Mercedes is flying. The Black looks magnificent in photos but on TV I admit it is looks like a big cockroach on the track! :mrgreen: but cockroaches are the fastest insects so I dont mind!

Pink Merc has scary race pace! I think even RedBull needs to worry.

RedBull serious balance issues. Horner and Marko looking concerned. Car looks nible. Engine sounds way more cranky than last year.

Ferrari is an engima. LeClerc a little lost, Sebastian leading the way. Really shows Experience counts! I see Ferrari behind Racing.

Renault and McLaren... Not much to say..

Toro rosso... Looks a handful.

Williams... Smooth...

Haas and Afpha... Just didn't feature for me. Too slow.

That said its just Free practice. But some interesting rumblings.

My Prediction for the Race


Hamilton 1st
Perez 2nd
Max 4th

And Bottas a very boring 3rd.

Could Racing Point win a race this year? If Mercedes hits trouble at a race they could be in with a shout.
