I have not had a team in F1 and have just been enjoying the sport and associated soap opera. I idly mentioned I should probably back the sole American team on the grid and wound up with a lovely Christmas gift from the wife!

guenther will be proud

[Seul]

Let the games commence!..

@Seul First practice for the first GP of 2023 tomorrow!

I know I shouldn't be excited because Red Bull and Karen Horner look way ahead of the pack already..but.. new young drivers.. Alonso vs. Stroll... Lando vs. Piastri (which autocorrects to Pastry which could a cool nickname).. best friends Ocon vs. Gasly.. and Lewis vs. Russell.

Can't wait!

[mclaincausey]

I am really hoping A-M doesn't bottle it because they are looking good!

Yes indeed Grumpy Spice was off the chart smarm in latest Drive To Survive..

I have to change channel whenever Ginger Horner appears, she winds me up so much (actually so does Christian Horner)!

[chiverus]

@Steve Don't watch Drive to Survive! A recent episode features 'The Horners' having a camping trip and BBQ. Imagine the most horrific horror film of your nightmares.. then it's worse!

I watched DTS ep 2 on the plane last night. After three races last year, Ferrari where way out front, There's a party or something where Ginge says to Mattia Binotto, something to the effect of "You must be quite pleased with how things are going so far this season".

No you dumb bitch, he's really fucking pissed off......

[mclaincausey]

I’m hoping that they have solved the reliability issues because that power unit was crushing until they had to dial it back. Would love some drama throughout the field this year.

[Steve]

@chiverus I've resisted DTS, and that now confirms I will never watch it!

[louisbosco]

I've not watched it either. it's just a bunch of hyped out drama. although, it's fun watching the clips of it on Facebook or wherever..

[Oroccoco]

Stating the obvious, but it's amazing how much it's broadened the appeal of F1. Work colleagues whose eyes would have glazed over just a few years ago at the mention of motor racing now excitedly gossiping about Max v Lewis etc. Meanwhile I've drifted away, but I don't suppose they'll be too fussed to lose me.

[Giles]

I'm in the same boat. I used to absolutely love it and I loved to hate Bernie and Max. But since Liberty and DTS, I've really gone off it. I of course ,still admire the drivers, but just about everything else is a fucking shit show of epic proportions. It used to be the only thing on TV that I would try not to miss, but now I don't really give a damn....

[Seul]

First spread of the season... Great race btw...

[motojobobo]

I’m waiting for the motogp firing gun in late march before my ‘23 tv season kicks off. Nice spread Seul

[mclaincausey]

Thanks Alonso for the entertainment but this looks like another year of RBR making things boring. I really hope the field can close the gap.

[louisbosco]

@mclaincausey 10 laps in and max is 7s ahead. going to be boring all season.
