F1 2015

[EauRouge]

Well, they've announced the calendar so we can have a thread now

2015 races

Live on the beeb

Congrats Jenson and Jessica!

Will Lewis and Nico snipe at each other all season? Will little Verstappen (must stop calling him Jos jr) impress in his first race? Will Ferrari and McLaren improve or still be a bit shit? Can't wait for Melbourne!

I love Kimi. And agree re Rush being a great film.

Hope it will be a good race today. Montreal was unusually boring.

I like Kimi's general air of coolness :)

I'll be watching the highlights of today's race later. I'm also hoping for it to be a bit more exciting!

Highlights for us too.

The Chain is the best music for F1 coverage.

What a terrible race for McLaren and Ferrari. That crash looked scary; so glad they're both OK.

Not a great race for Lewis either. I've firmly decided that I don't like Rosberg.

So pleased for Massa and Williams, though.

Im the opposite, I don't like Lewis I thought he was unnecessarily sulky about coming second.

That Alonso/Raikkonen crash looked terrifying. Bet they both needed clean undies after that.

Also very pleased for Massa and Williams. Massa Jr is adorable!

It seemed a bit of a strange race to me, but some of that could be watching highlights because it compresses the events!

I like Lewis but thought Nico drove a good race and deserved a win. Lewis never seemed to be entirely happy at this circuit this year, even in practice.

And agree that Fleetwood Mac is the sound of Formula 1

Just a massive SILVERSTONE BUMP!!!

Love love love the British GP. My sister lives near to a tiny airport in Northants and has helicopters and light aircraft ferrying the rich and / or famous back and forth to the airport. I'm a bit further north so don't get woken at 5.00am by it, but do have the pleasure of living just down the road from the Mercedes HPE factory

Going to be an interesting one I think - isn't it supposed to rain?

I read that Silverstone helipad is the busiest in the UK on GP weekend. I'm a good hour away from Silverstone but we're forecast heavy rain for the weekend- there is a yellow warning in place from the met office. Good thing too, my front lawn is almost completely dead.

Under normal circumstances that would bode well for JB. With this season's McLaren? Not so much.

I'm really looking forward to Silverstone this weekend; rain will most probably make for an interesting race!

I also wanted to share a pic at took at Battersea (Formula E) on Sunday because I don't know anyone who's interested

Fab Oberon - was it worth going? We would've liked to go but had something else on that was subsequently cancelled at the last minute.

According to the BBC and Met office websites, the yellow warning for possible thunderstorms and heavy rain is for the evening/night time, not during the day, which is forecast as sunny and warm c23 degrees. And it's lowest (1) for possibility but 3 out of 4 for impact.
Mind you, having said that, it is England and Silverstone so the rain gods might decide to have their little bit of fun.......

It was great GaryBaldy, definitely worth going. The organisation wasn't amazing (though easy enough in the end), but we had a good viewpoint at one of the faster corners and it was an exciting race, all the better because Sam Bird won .

So disappointed about the Williams after that epic start. Someone must have stuck a rocket up Massa's exhaust.

Massa did so well - it was an incredible start. Such a shame he couldn't hang onto the lead (I also do not like Lewis and am actually a bit disappointed that he won - in fact I've just de-friended him on FB )

Gutted for JB. Absolutely gutted

So sad about Jules Bianchi.

Awful news

1 death in 21 years is 1 too many. Just should not be possible

Fingers crossed that the rumoured move to Williams really is on the cards for Jenson. About time he had a decent toy to play with.

What an amazing race - so emotional & lovely words by Vettell as he finished.

If only all the races were so action packed.

Maldarnado really covered himself in glory!

It was an exciting race.

Can't quite believe how many penalties Maldonado earned! Stewards were a bit unkind for one of them, I thought, and also didn't think Lewis deserved his.

Definitely an exciting race, and good to see a break in the usual 'procession'. I think Lewis didn't manage the start well at all.

It would be great to see Jenson at Williams; I suppose it all depends on whether Valtteri ends up at Ferrari? There have been some rumours that McLaren are planning to drop Jenson from the team anyway, and I would hate to see him without a drive next season.

Really looking forward to Spa this w/e. Seems like an age since Hungary.

I'm really looking forward to the race too.

Did you see that McLaren got a total of 105 grid place penalties?! Starting from the back again.

Nice to see Lotus doing well today. Hope they can keep it up for the race.

Must admit I'm glad that Ferrari had a bad day today.
