2023 F1 News and Prediction League

Well, no let up in Red BS's dominance or the complete and utter arrogance of Crashappen - takes second place and takes the "Winners Chair"...... Total and utter Gobshite - added to that, complete disrespect for Perez.

Anywho, Parahandy sneaks ahead of Pete to take number 1 spot with a Yellow Cap - a long way to go yet mind in the busiest F1 season so far. Alonso with Aston Martin is certainly not going to give anything away easily, but Red BS (IMHO) seem still to be reaping the benefits of their illegal overspend - the degree of which is still questionable. Ferrari will be there if they can sort out reliability issues and I do truly hope the Silver Arrows will make a race of things!!

Well another week to wait, but not short of news. I'm a zero fan of racism with both the LHG and I suffering from it and witnessing it in the past. That said, many accusations get blown out of all proportion and IMHO are detrimental to the whole "Anti-Racism" bit. I don't want this thread to go political or WOKE or BLM, but just reporting this particular story and sharing my thoughts.

I have supported LH (since Mclaren days) and Mercedes for quite a number of years - I have never however appreciated politics in sport unless truly justified. The whole "Take The Knee" or "BLM" et al was and is not for me - a great deal of misconceptions and corruption involved in those themselves (amongst others).

LH was losing my support I'm sorry to say, but he seems to have toned things down - I believe he's a great driver that has a great deal to offer both Mercedes and F1, but.......

Oh no - not again! It was like this at the start of last year, and then I slid down the order like a monkey down a greasy pole. (Do monkeys slide down greasy poles?)

Well, I'm not going to get to see P3 or Qualifying before the race - and the race itself only highlights. I can only hope for the best, but sadly......

There must be an 'as live' at a reasonable time for us in the UK, surely? Come on, Pietro, do your research!

Oh, OK - Qualifying tomorrow at 11:15 CH4 - Race Highlights 12:30 Sunday CH4.... Or Youtube. That said, we could pop around lost's place as I know he adores F1 and pretty much insists on paying for Sky F1 et al..... I'll bring the beers.

Well DM - I've got up for it..... Doubtful you have, but for anyone else: -

Well done Alex Albon to get himself into Q3. Noticed that one of his helmet sponsors is Hua Hin's Monsoon Valley

Certainly didn't see the sponsor, but fair play to him.

The arrogance that is BS and Crashappen take Pole, but the Mercs are there!! Alonso also in 4th, Christ - a challenge indeed!! The Scuderia, what's happened today?!

Could well be a race!!
