Formula One 2019

Anybody following this season? If not, it's not too late! Only two races down.

I'm curious to see how many fans we have here and what team/driver you're pulling for and why. If there's interest, I could start up a fantasy F1 league.

Unfortunately for me, I'm a Ferrari fan. So blood pressure runs high during races. I'm absolutely heartbroken for Charles LeClerc after today's Bahrain GP finish. Guess I've got two weeks to cool down before China.

Hoping he (LeClerc) can keep it together for a WDC contention this year.

Yep, I watch it all including P1, P2, P3, and qualifying. The hard part for me is not accidently reading the winner before I watch since I record it all beforehand.

I pull for Ferrari as well but I also root for Haas. Seems to me that Ferrari has the edge lately but looses to Mercedes over mistakes, bad luck and mistaken strategy more than their share.

Too bad for LeClerc but he was saved by the bell when the Renault cars both failed bringing out the safety car and turning the bad luck into a save although I hate races ending on the safety car.

That said it's looking like a great season and look at McClaren! They've pulled themselves off the bottom. I hope Williams can get back in the game this year as well.

Hamilton for the win

I stopped caring a few years ago after 20 years of being a fan.
Too many garbage rules and regulations and no drivers I can root for.

I thought you'd be a fan of the finger man

I'm one of those who read about it afterward and to see how Magnussen performed in the race.

We really don't have any Swedes left. Ericsson or was it Eriksson have left

Yesterday he got position 6 in the startup line, but ended on 13th place.

Nope. Never really was.

I used to be a Schumacher / Hakkinen fan but those days are long gone.
