Formula 1 2015

[DCIEVE]

worst commentating ever

bring back sky sports.

feels like i'm watching v8 supercars

You're not wrong. If not for webber I would have muted it and relied on the f1 app. The cars sound shite anyway.

[Anfanee]

Most awkward f1 ever. Apparently arnie didn't like getting called chunky hahahhaha

[89CAL]

AJ annoys me when there is a team radio about to play and he just keeps talking and always seems to stop just after its over

A funny thing to compared to the Sky commentators - when the cross to a garage shot etc the Sky team says 'there's ________, who's been _______'

Meanwhile, channel 10 in the same position is pretty much just silent. Not a major thing but I just found it funny

Matt White is a useless commentator. Cant they swap him with Neil Crompton?

[tweety bird]

Say what you what about arnie but that f**ker is cool as f**k.

Sauber currently 3rd in the constructors championship with 14 points.

[Missileman]

would have liked to see more speed out of the Williams?

All the Mercedes powered team will have smiles on their dials.

5 out of top ten weren't even on the lead lap...lol

Dull race for the lead, but plenty going on at the back. My first reaction was "oh no not Arnie" but he did a good job...as others said better than old Alan.

Webber and Alan Jones were a good duo.Mark will learn he doesnt need to talk so much and clubbed with Alans low key I quite rated what they could be with regards to commentary. But Aus GP only so who cares.

Bigger concern, is Homo is going to cruise to wins unless Rosberg can dig VERY DEEP! RBR cant pass a Sauber...Fezz still only able to field 1 car....and McLaren a disgrace... that was the sort of finish we expected last year...not 12 months into new regs

Williams will struggle.../lotus still breaking my heart...and thanking god i have WEC to follow this year

[dezz]

Ferrari only able to field one car?

Kimi was flying. They released him with a loose wheel...human error in a split second... Hadly constitutes being unable to field 2 cars, which looked on track for a 3rd and 4th/5th

[mad082]

I wouldn't say that Williams will struggle. That is unless bottas can't race for a while. We all know that he's the faster of the 2 drivers both in quali and on race day.

[25GTT]

Such a terrible effort from Renault in my opinion. They had the time and money to do better, were everyone else has gone up a notch they have stayed as is. Even AJ said he would rather their factory car Torro Rosso than the Reb Bull at the moment.

Poor Dan.

Good to see Kimi with some good potential but I have to be honest, as much as I waited with so much excitement to watch the race, about 7 laps into it I realised there needs to be some massive improvements to from manufacturers to help the viewers enjoy watching. The Mercedes white wash continues.

Just so disappointed with Renault efforts.

[Missileman]

F1 has definitely lost something, 11 cars completing the race, why would anyone besides diehard supporters bother watching, it was a complete snooze feast.

If there was a repeat of the Bathurst 12 hour on, I would have watched that.

[Roy]

Fezz had problem after problem on Kimi's car last year...seems stupid mistakes in pitstops continue.

Engine freeze with a new engine formula and only 4 engines a year...well appears we hot lucky last year, and now the Mercs have a huge advantage.

Williams 4acing Ferrari for 3rd-5th looks to be the only thing we can take from the season. Mercs finish 30sec ahead when they were not even pressing

[warps]

I remember aus gp has always had a high attrition rate. First race back there in 1998 only had 9 finishers out of 21 starters. Only 2 were on the lead lap. Both mercedes powered, interestingly enough.

I wouldn't say that Williams will struggle. That is unless bottas can't race for a while. We all know that he's the faster of the 2 drivers both in quali and on race day.

If Bottas doesn't come good they should get Nasr back for a race or two. Then Van de Garde can drive the Sauber for that time (Keeps them out of court) and Williams will have Nasr and Massa.

In other news if that is the best F1 can do the formula is totally fkd. 5 cars didn't even make the start. Half the field either running 100's of hp down to protect their engines and no competition anywhere to speak of. Plus so many teams are either going broke or have no sponsorship. Probably only MB, RedBull and Ferrari are viable at present.

[zebra]

The formula has been totally farked for 15 years.

[Roy]

I think F1 has been on a roll lately. But this year looks woeful with quali performances over 1.3 seconds clear of the next team. Lets see what happens re the Williams and Ferrari fight....but with no McLaren or RBR in there it will be interesting to see if Lotus can not trip up like they did on the weekend and get in to 4th in the constructors

[djr81]

Well sucks to have to get excited about 4th place in the constructors. What happened to Grosjean? Loss of power - is that a rod through the block or a gearbox or something other than that?

As for Ferrari vs Williams. Ferrari has more money. Money wins.

Plus now have to put up with Johnny Herbert all year. He is better on the mike than Alan Jones but that is like saying VD is a better STD than syphilis.

Looked like a turbo went kaputt to me.

I see you prefer watching Safety Cars being refuelled to do enough laps to keep the 'racing' close than genuine racing.

No point whinging about Mercedes' advantage either - they simply worked harder on the new engine for longer than the other manufactureres. They're reaping that investment now. 99% of the time, F1 is dominated by one team with the others trying to catch up anyway. If you don't like that, perhaps you should watch a parity formula instead. Although they still seem to get dominated by the teams with the best engineers and most resources anyway...

There was plenty to hold my interest through that race, and to have me looking forward to the next one.

Unfortunately the next 2 races are highlights only on FTA... maybe that will better suit the guys who complain about it being boring anyway!
