Bring back the 90s ones with the yellow squares, I miss not having a clue where anyone is.

The Mercedes is quick after all. Well pick me up off the floor, how unexpected.
They're such cunts.
They've been laying it on far too thick to be believable this time round.
But guys honestly. THIS TIME to we really really mean it.
Still about a second off what Red Bull were doing yesterday but it's looking a bit more competitive, now to see if they do that on both long and short runs.
Brundle sounds so happily surprised that you'd almost think he's not part of the sandbag.
I still think Mercedes are off the pace, but not backmarkers like they’ll have you believe.
Would be nice to see the red cars at the front if they’re lacking.
Are they still allowed to fiddle with engine modes or is it just one setting now?
Verstappen and LeClerc on the front row has the potential for some fairly epic lolz.
KMag in 7th indicates the Haas genuinely could have some early-season pace.
What they run in Qualy has to be ran throughout the rest of the weekend after.Originally Posted by niko_cee
Then can slow it down or turn it up in practice all they want though.
Naomi Schiff is actually decent at this analyst gig so far. Plus she’s far better to look at than Damon.
I'm getting really sick of hearing about Abu Dhabi in every interview.
Releasing the report two hours before the start of the new season was a pathetic move.
Somewhat warranted given the report was released about 10 minutes ago (telling everyone what they knew months ago).
At least the next hour or so will give us all something new to talk about. Been far to long.
Someone tell Damon Hill.
Are they not showing times in the graphic at all?
Haas
Alfa

Bottas going to out qualify the Mercs
Bottas 3 tenths up on Hamilton. Wowzers.
The Russell curse is real.
I'd like pundits to stop being surprised that the Ferrari engine is competitive again, we all knew this would happen when they were able to update following their 'secret' cheating deal with the FIA.
If they delete Sainz time does that mean he’s out? He didn’t do any more laps.
The Mercs being 0.8 secs off it in qualifying is quite the shock. I expected that to be about half the gap. Maybe the lack of sidepods isn't such a good thing.
I think I’d rather go back to a few months of the 2021 decider than that old chestnut.
Hulkenberg a 1/4 of a second ahead of Stroll
Haas look solid. Now we can really start to form some judgements on Schumacher.
Also good to see Albon with a strong showing.
Seems they’re all bark and no bite. Perez was in the grandstand on his lap.
The graphics for the time and positions are terrible.
Yeah the ladder on the side is not an improvement, the one they use in MotoGP was already better.
That’s a load of shite from the off then really. If he was out then his lap should be gone.
Why they’ve taken away the team colours on the side graphic I do not know. Dreadful.
There’s no need to be using those car numbers in the same font as they’re on the car.
The headshots are wank as well. Clearly they’ve employed a few kids with a penchant for Photoshop filters to redesign it all.
It was absolutely fine last year.
I do love the look of those Mercs.
Up to less than 0.3 in that session, a few upgrades and we could well have a 3 way for the title.
Don’t discount Haas either
Well, well, well. We do have a title race.
Always been a big Ferrari fan, great to see them back at the front.
I hated the Ferrari growing up for obvious reasons, but I'll take them over a smug looking Whinger Spice any day.
Sainz and leclerc seem pretty likeable so difficult to be too upset.
Sainz winning the championship would be glorious.
Leclerc / Verstappen was pretty spicy in karts but as long as it's a contest I'll be happy.
Still wondering why Sainz wasn’t deleted in Q1. It’s as plain as day.
He wasn’t even the worst offender. They got everyone on board with it by saying “white lines are the limit everywhere” then realised they have to monitor 20 cars at 15 corners and it’s harder than it sounds.
I’m ok with it today if they stick to the rule and gradually police it better. All the previous “white line at T4 and kerb at T11 and T15” is just complete bullshit so they get the benefit of the doubt today from me.
Didn't someone have a time deleted in Q2? Either do it or don't, certainly don't say you'll do it then find out you can't actually manage it.
Zhou did yeah, for a violation at T4/5.
Regarding Perez, he definitely did another run in Q1 that was better than his lap where he went wide. Sainz though.... he didn't look wide on the replay so maybe it was just a wobble and he was safe?
