Formula 1 2018

[Cleoriff]

Starting a new thread (before the last one gets split again)...:smileytongue:

It is 2018, The year of the Halo... Like it or hate it, it will be implemented as part of new FIA rules

None of the 2018 cars have been revealed yet (that happens in February) but this is how it will look

Most drivers' aren't keen but are having to toe the party line...

According to Toto Wolff. Mercedes are 'bloody worried' for Monaco

Not surprised. So am I.

I think it will be a Red Bull weekend.

(Anybody but Ferrari)

I'm hoping for an exciting race but not expecting it. I too think Red Bull are overwhelming favourites here but the race needs some racing incidents otherwise it will just be 'follow the leader'.....

Looks as if we might get rain for qualifying and the race

(if this screenshot posted on a F1 forum is anything to go by)

[jonsie]

That could make things interesting and it could be decided by tyres and pit stops

Hopefully there may perhaps be a few bumps and bangs along the way....

Monaco FP1 and 2 yesterday....The Red Bulls are  really showing their strength at this circuit this year

Danny Ricc looking unbeatable with those times.

No F1 today....P3 and Qualifying on Saturday.

Weird thing is, not only is there coverage on Sky F1 and Ch 4....Sky One have joined the party for this event.

Oh and no sign of the promised rain....

Lewis has yet to sign his contract for next year....I found this cartoon very amusing

[Cleoriff]

P3 not without incident Max put his car in the barrier

No gear box change required so no grid penalty.....Engineers still working like mad on the car!
