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...

They should ban all these countries from F1.....stupid o'clock just isn't on! Mind you it's worse for you having to watch all three practice sessions

The Ferrari strategists seem to have taken leave of their senses. The cockup with tyres in Q3 was appalling. Although it had to be noted Kimi made a better job of it than Seb.

Toro Rosso boys did well.

I feel sorry for Daniel Ricciardo though, since he announced he was leaving Red Bull they seem to be giving him a bag of spanners to race with!! Out in Q2. Poor lad

Predicted to be dry tomorrow so it won't take the Ferrari's long to get behind the Mercedes boys. Looking forward to it.
