We need another pandemic so we can go back to all the decent circuits again.

Don't give them any ideas. Three back to back rounds in Saudi Arabia.
I'm disappointed three of those corners don't have proper names.
The Pacific Grand Prix. Golden era of F1.
Huge fan of the names for turn 1 and 11.
Get your precections in lads. Any other questions worth throwing in, let me know. I know a few of you, have already answered.

Unrleated, this madness came across my timeline the other day. watch it in full
I never recognise Aida because all the corner names look like they should be at Snetterton or Mallory Park.
That's exactly where my mind went.
Okayama is fun in the F1600s in iracing. I assume F1 would be about the same
Rain forecast
Verstappen odds are ridiculously good if so
Piastri will win the race.
In a rare double-win, Sky have dumped Danica Patrick and signed up Jacques Villeneuve.
Has he got a new album out?
on all counts, musical or otherwise.

This looks shit.
Looks like he's shagging his team boss in the trailer, too. Red Bull wouldn't stand for that.

Also, curious, are all these highlight packages on FP, Quali and the Race geo-blocked in the UK?
It's the one of the few things F1 does well.

Red Bull is clearly a tractor, we love to see it. Verstappen might only win the title by 30 points.
Haas appear to have brought F3 cars unless there is something not apparent.
No they're not blocked. F1 just blocks them being viewed outside of YouTube so we need to click the link and watch it on the website itself.
Looking like a McLaren-Ferrari battle at the top, at least early doors until the Europe upgrades. Verstappen wringing the shit out of that car and it still looks half a second off here.
Gotya. I actually thought that may be blocked because of TV rights in the UK. Good to know.
I think the big media companies realise now that having a well-run YouTube presence is overwhelmingly a good thing. Sky and TNT put up highlights for pretty much everything that isn't Box Office within a couple of hours now.
May even stay up for qualifying at this rate. Genuinely looking forward to this. I see @Waffdon has already made his predictions.

I'm up every day before this qualifiying time so happy days. Paid no attention to anything so far so I can't wait to see 'i want to thank the fans' in a Ferrari.
Don't forget the guys back at the factory.
Think I might go for the 7.30-9.30 version, although what that will actually entail is me realising at about 9 o'clock that I've missed it.
I will miss Danica Patricks legs. Pinkham needs to let them loose.
I'm planning qualifying 5 and race 4, someone please correct me if I'm wrong. See if the body can still handle it.
1.30am for FP3 if you really want to push the boat out
I'm up and ready to go.

A lot of these guys are all over the place. Lawson could barely turn it in.
Hair being torn out at Maranello.
Williams and Alpine seem to have delivered a great package there, assuming this all carries over to race pace.
Great session.
Not impressed by the standard, far too many of them trying to wring the cars' necks and be too aggressive under braking. Verstappen drove within himself, remains head and shoulders. McLaren should piss a 1-2 if it's dry but he'll win if it's wet.
Nice to see Williams up there. Yuki dodged a bullet by the looks.
There might well be a few "uh-ohs" from team principals on the wall there with seeing some of the performances.
3 of the most aggressive drivers behind Norris? P4 by lap 2
Helmut Marko calling Bortoleto a 'b-grade driver' only for him to dump Lawson out of Q1 in a Sauber is quite satisfying.
I suspect Lawson won’t last that long.
Bit of a mystery to me why neither Merc nor Red Bull took Sainz. I quite like Lawson but it's such an ask with 9 grands prix or whatever he has not to look like a prat against Verstappen.
Supposedly it’s a Jos and Snr thing for Red Bull coupled with wanting to have a clear second driver who doesn’t challenge Max too much. I’m not too sure how true that is though.
With Merc it just seems madness to me give Sainz two years and Antonelli would still be young and you could have stuck him in at Williams anyway.
Mercedes logic is the sounder of the two, if you're looking for the next long term team leader then Sainz isn't it but Antonelli may be. What do they gain from taking Sainz, they aren't going to find out anything they don't already know and it's two years that Antonelli could be in your team learning. Even if he's rubbish they don't lose much, decent but not great drivers like Sainz will still exist and want a Mercedes drive in two years.
Red Bull I don't understand, Sainz would have been a perfect second driver. If the reasoning truly was that 'our dads don't get on' then it is officially the lamest way to shoot yourselves in the foot.
The Supercars race just got red-flagged for rain so he may be spared a standing start.3 of the most aggressive drivers behind Norris? P4 by lap 2
Herr
Sainz should absolutely have been in the Mercedes.
However Toto has PTSD over Max. Back when he was a yute and looking to get onto the grid, the word goes that he favoured Mercedes, but they had no seat for him. Hamilton and Rosberg had it locked down. Red Bull then offered Max an immediate seat in the sister team and he took it.
Now Antonelli supposedly has great potential so he didn't want to make that same mistake again.
1- Piastri
2- Max
3- Lewis
Max is going to piss it by 20 odd seconds if it rains all the way through.
Lewis to DNF.
