Despite liking Ricciardo a lot (fast on qualifying, good race pace, extraordinary fighting for positions) and almost impossible doing good predictions by this final result of Barcelona tests, i dont think anyone will get closer to Mercedes on qualy. The 6th for Bottas only using medium tires is impressive
I was watching Barcelona tests and in my mind these are most ugly F1 cars I ever seen There are so many untalented drivers and safety have so much focus that I am sure that modern F1 drivers don`t soon have balls to sit behind the wheel when engine is started and it can be vise to remove cockpits and give remote controls to modern F1 no balls app generation. Keke Rosberg : "...it's always a compromise between safety which is boring, and excitement which is dangerous" Niki Lauda : "Modern F1 cars are bullshit!"
Niki was talking about 2014 cars, which were slow and useless. 2018 cars are quick and look great IMO. Remove the halo and make them a bit shorter and I'd say they would be the best looking cars ever. But even that halo I quickly got used to, the only problem is with some onboard cams.
Btw, someone with better communication skills (@Ari Antero , @SPASKIS ) please can make a thread with bets to pole and first, second and third race results? ex: 3 point for pole, 10 for 1st, 6 or 2nd,4 for 3rd (something like this, not need to be equal) to every race for this year. Placing bets like at max 2 hours before quali, etc
There are some applications to host these type of polls. It would be really cool if an official poll could be done. However, I would like to see if admins find it suitable or not.
