2018 Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix

[phreezee]

Lots to look forward to for the weekend. Eager to see how the upgrades perform!







Will tune into the FPs to see Kubica.

Oh and F1 posted this the other day, lest we forget:

McLaren looks epic. Let's see if it's epic success or epic failure. I have no confidence in my team so I'm guessing the latter.

[tonytiger55]

Looking forward to this.. though I cut off my TV today..no more cable..

[chongkee_]

Quite a bit of updates to the McLaren and Ferrari. Haven't seen much from Red Bull or Mercedes.

Can’t mess with perfection

Dumb question, does it allow you to watch the race? Im just registering to see the price and it does not say anything about the live race itself..

Full replays and highlights from every F1 session*
Watch races from F1's historic archive*
Watch documentaries from F1's archive
Access to exclusive live timing data†
Access to selected team radio†
Tyre usage history†
Driver tracker map†

On another note, what the hell is happening with Williams..?

[rage2]

There’s 2 different subscriptions. F1 TV Access is live timing plus historic races and race replays after the race. That’s available on iOS android and PC. F1 TV Pro is the live one with multiple angles and lots of data. That’s PC only and unavailable in Canada.

If Max can somehow stay in front of Seb, it will be huge for the WDC. Potentially very costly mistake at the restart. Hopefully Bottas keeps ahead.

Stupid Ferrari strategy. They’re taking risks for the sake of taking risks this year. Almost feels like they’ve lost more than gained with their gamble.

Meh race. Nothing compared to the opening races this year.

Well there was that first lap action that really shouldn't have happened.

Welcome back Grosjean haha. I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t get penalized for that stunt.

[tonytiger55]

I overslept...

They got rewarded early in Melbourne by taking that pit spot under the SC, so they are just rolling the dice with every VSC/SC now.

Grosjean's teammate moved which caused him to react and hit some dirty air and spin. Completely his fault but he was reacting to Magnussen twitch.

Pretty sure that’s not what we’re talking about when saying it shouldn’t have happened. When you spin off there, especially lap 1, you hit the brakes and GTFO of the way. You don’t plant your throttle trying to point in the right direction towards the track with a ton of cars behind you. Pretty much days of thunder smokescreen stopped in the middle of the track. Completely unnecessary.

Ah I see what you guys are saying. There was definitely room to the left for him to go off as well instead of staying on the gas and going across the track. Stewards only gave him 3 spots and 3 points on his license for this too.

Just watched a mini highlight on youtube.
Lap 1.. wtf.. he should have gone off.. That could have been a lot worse.

[speedog]

It really is quite amazing that only three cars were taken out.

[schocker]

Ferrari and those strategies. boy oh boy Engine issues from ferrari and the merc engine though (FI). From the performance of some drivers, looks like there will be some new faces next season.

[phreezee]

Grosjean got a 3 place grid penalty which will really hurt for Monaco.

So Ferrari mirrors are banned for next race and McLaren upgrades seemingly had no affect.

Whatever Mercedes and Red Bull did seemed to have worked.
