Ha, @DeeDee85, well said!

If Drive to Survive was around back in Hunt's time it would have been far more racy!

@Bridger would have been a must watch for me

I'm a big Honda fan. I suspect Aston will not have a good start to the season. However, I think a Honda Newey combo will deliver something. Newey knows Honda. I can't imagine that Aston has a Honda is a coincidence.

There's an interesting dynamic there. It seems like their vibration/performance issues are transmission related, so i'm sure once they resolve that, they'll have a huge jump in performance.

Another interesting thing is the RBPT/Ford is probably more Honda than Ford actually, from what I've read. Seeing as Ford has apparently hugely overstated their involvement in the PU's development, with RB building on their knowledge from their previous partnership with Honda.

we're back! and for the love of the fire horse lunar year. I hope this is Ferrari's year!

[goosehd]

Definitely not Aston Martin’s…

[Bridger]

@WhiskeySandwich that's interesting insight.

I wonder if any of the Honda engineers from the RB days have stuck around with Ford.

Good shout @louisbosco

I would love Lewis to pick up a few wins this season and or finish top three in the driver's championship

George has been patient over the years. Is this why? Keen to see whether Merc have their mojo back.

Time now for S8 D2S - should be plenty of drama.

Think Mercedes mechanics deserve a medal already for what they managed to do with Antonellis car in the time they did

[Bridger]

Indeed. Also well done Kimi for keeping his cool and to get P2 on a street circuit after binning it.

[goosehd]

If George is the predominant winner this year, I may sit this season out…just something about him that I can’t stand.

@goosehd Let me help you - he's a dick

[Bridger]

Great to see Ferrari have a competitive car. Less great, they still have the same head-scratching strategy.

[goosehd]

@Bridger I don’t know about that…they seem to have figured out how to fuck up every race pretty well. The only other team with that much success is Aston Martin keeping Stroll in a driver’s seat.

[Bridger]

I think Honda is providing Stroll with defence for his usual form for the moment. That won't last long, though.

[Giles]

I only watched the highlights and did not hear his name mentioned.....
