    I didn't like Magnussen before but he comes off terribly.

    They try to make Ricciardo so likeable that I actively dislike him now.

    edit: Oh and the Pierre Gasly redemption arc from Red Bull Bottle Job to Best Friends Death to Podium Finish is a great story, really well told.

    I thought Gunther Steiner actually comes off quite badly at times, I know he's bantering in his second language but the bits where he's burying Grosjean in front of the whole team were pretty cringeworthy.

    Whatever happened to Ted Kravitz? He seems to have been persona non grata for a couple of years now.

    He's been working for Sky, he does almost all of their pitlane coverage.

    That's weird. Perhaps Fox Asia just cut all his segments - haven't seen him for ages.

    "Get after him, Ted!" still remains my favourite line of James Allen commentary.

    There was a thing last winter whereby it looked like Sky were culling him, but they ended up not doing so. I don't think he was at every race last year.

    Just getting going on Drive to Survive. Despite Christian Horner being such a whiney snake, I do love his candid talking in this.

    Ricciardo bores me. I'm not sure why. Love his driving but not his smiley crap.

    Ricciardo is shit. I am four episodes in, and it just hasn't been very good. The Mercedes in Germany episode was ok I guess.

    I've done two so far, I did like the second Haas one. They are such a bizarre collection of people that it just makes for good entertainment. From Gene Haas himself to Steiner (who I keep forgetting is somehow Italian), to the pair of knobhead drivers going around smashing doors in, to the little Japanese yes man bloke and then the Rich Energy clown, who must be the biggest whopper in the history of the sport outside Jean Pierre van Rossem.

    I'd forgotten how much the fake commentator hits annoy me, but I guess they need to create NARRATIVE somehow.

    Disappointed that they didn't talk more about the scam that Rich Energy is. Would have been far more interesting.

    I saw Storey referred to as 'Gandalf McBong' this week and it still makes me laugh, he got off extremely lightly in the show as did Mallya in the first series.

    I reckon 'demonstrating how dodgy F1 sponsors are' probably wasn't part of their brief, otherwise the series would have to be three times longer.

    Has anyone yet found a can of Rich Energy or is it a total potemkin cover for some kind of weird Saudi money or something?

    At least JPVR was printing his own dosh.

    It's all about promoting The Product so they're not going to go into great detail about how one of their 10 teams got hoodwinked by some preposterous twat with a rug on his face. I'm surprised they mentioned him at all.

    It seems like they're still going and 'sponsoring' a Superbike team, a really gullible one presumably.

    Ricciardo is just about the only seemingly good guy on the tour. Verstappen is a huge cunt, the Haas boys are idiots, Hamilton is a snide bitch "I've just never liked losing, it must be in my DNA". I like Sainz but he's boring

    It's nice my favorite team has two of the most likable humans on Earth, though. I do like the matte orange scheme I've seen instead of the shiny bullshit they had before.

    I just searched McLaren to see how things were going and saw this:

    STATEMENT FROM McLAREN RACING

    We, the undersigned teams, were surprised and shocked by the FIA’s statement of Friday 28 February regarding the conclusion of its investigation into the Scuderia Ferrari Formula 1 Power Unit.

    An international sporting regulator has the responsibility to act with the highest standards of governance, integrity and transparency.

    After months of investigations that were undertaken by the FIA only following queries raised by other teams, we strongly object to the FIA reaching a confidential settlement agreement with Ferrari to conclude this matter.

    Therefore, we hereby state publicly our shared commitment to pursue full and proper disclosure in this matter, to ensure that our sport treats all competitors fairly and equally. We do so on behalf of the fans, the participants and the stakeholders of Formula One.

    In addition, we reserve our rights to seek legal redress, within the FIA’s due process and before the competent courts.

    At any rate I saw Kimi Raikkonen is the oldest guy on the grid (which may have already been the case but anyways) and I feel very old all of a sudden.

    He is very likeable, but the use of him in DTS is boring. Admittedly his 'storyline' in this season was very boring, whereas the year before it contained considerable DRAMA.

    I'm guessing that's also because he shows his cards openly. Everyone else is pretty guarded

    Nearly a massive bottle job by the winning marble there.

    I really hope it's one bloke doing absolutely everything for it in his bedroom.

    He's definitely not in 'eSports' is he? I don't think that he participates in any of the legit leagues.

    Yeah, he participates in the special events (like the 12 hours of Sebring right this second) and Le Mans. He was in one of the leagues last season (wish I could remember which one) and then packed it in.
