I hate to say this. But since Ricciardo has no shot in hell this season as the Redbull engines somehow seem worse than last years. But I'll be chearing for team red. Maybe Kimi won't be total poo poo this year.

Expect Merc to win. Expect good midpack racing.

I bet by mid season Ferarri catches up. McLaren Is a wildcard. And I bet red bull sucks all season, no a single person on the team has said anything positive about the car.

I am disappointed the gap is so huge. I'm pretty sure they lapped up to 5th? I liked last season even with Mercedes taking huge dumps on everyone.

One loving race :jerkbag: everyone goes nuts. We knew from testing the general order of things bar mchonda.

If you want to see everyone running the same poo poo gently caress off to a spec formula like a1 gp. Oh wait that was so successful...

One race that started with 16 cars on the grid. 11 finished. And the lead car had like a 1.4 second lead.

It was a poo poo race. It is okay if people thought it was poo poo. Because it was.

I'm not saying the season is going to be poo poo. Merc was crushingly dominating last season and I loved watching.

Jesus Christ, Worst Thread... 800+ new shitposts? Skimming revealed pretty much what I expected.

Now, the opening race... holy gently caress what a disaster. Mercs finished 1-2 in the wrong order. Wrong Ferrari broke. No Bottas. Jenson the only car to not score a single point. Worst opener to the worst season in the worst sport. :emo:

So, by your definition, your post is also a shitpost.

I suppose the problem is going to be if a whole bunch of teams loose engines early on.

I mean we had one engine blow up before the start of this race, and at least one more die during the race.

It would be pretty incredible if there weren't another couple lost at the next race.

I'm really suprised Jenson's engine held up. It was making terrible sounds durring the race.

The engines somehow sound worse than last years. The new Ferrari in lower gears was not a pleasant sound.
