[Eat Sleep Watch F1 Repeat]

Someone would have spotted it and said it earlier rather than now. I think it's BS tbh.

I don't get why Merc would want to put in a glory run. What do they possibly think they could gain by it? It's not like they are short on cash and topping the times using DRS isn't exactly going to shower them in positive press.

I blame Whitmarsh.**

Tabloids man tabloids, get the hype going sell lots of teamwear etc...


**I agree Whitmarsh and Ron are to blame!

Pretty sure it would only get a positive spin in the UK though.

Broken bandwagon:

Ferrari says "a problem with the left front upright meant that Felipe had to stop the car on track."

really, didn't notice the issue

Also, a nice picture of what RB is trying so hard to hide:

True, but remember all the rocket red you would see at Silverstone, well at this rate it will all be white and silver

I think Lewis moving there has rocketed sales already

Was funny being the only Nico Rosberg fan in a 110,000 crowd

Think I'll have to stick to Seb and RBR so I can see myself on the TV

 

[The Iceman]

There will probably be way more Kimi "fans" this year as well. Plastic fans!

 

[EternalMSC]

Oi. I am supporting Kimi slightly next year as I have always liked his way about doing things am I plastic?

 

[Eat Sleep Watch F1 Repeat]

I think most people have a soft spot for Kimi

 

[Smithers]

I find it shocking that british so called F1 fans are looking forward (or wishing) to Mclaren and Jenson failing!

 

[El_Bando]

I allways get out airhorned at maggots being the only Alonso fan

I want Kimi to win the championship this year, even though Seb's my favourite driver. Kimi was my favourite driver from 2002-2008 though, so I'm not sure whether I'm plastic or not?

The Yuji Ide fan club normally takes up much of the stowe stands

Bottas has already claimed the BLS seal of approval so he's guaranteed to succeed.

I expect many future organic polymer fans

 

[Di Resta is faster than u]

I wish autosport would stop going on about Hamiltons dog.

As a major Hamilton fan I still couldn't care less about his bleeding dog.

 

[Eat Sleep Watch F1 Repeat]

Who designed the Mclaren car this year? Goss or Lowe? If it's Lowe could that hamper them?

 

[Di Resta is faster than u]

I think it might have been Goss actually.
