F1 2023 - Watchalong thread

[LookItsMeAgain]

At the moment it's pre-season testing and they are in Bahrain as that is where the first race happens

Is anyone watching the preseason testing at the moment?

Anyone follow the WTF1 personnel change over the past few weeks (social media channel) and that Tommy & Matt have set up P1 with just Matt & Tommy as co-owners?

I'm really looking forward to seeing what progress the other teams have been able to make since RBR had their wind tunnel time reduced due to their overspend in 2022 (that was their punishment for doing that).

@LookItsMeAgain Alonso is playing a blinder, I wonder how long he can keep it going. Is it all part of El Plan😂

Team Alonso all the way here.

I can't stand Yuki, glad we're back to the grown ups this year.

Looking forward to Miami. There's always a bit more glitz to the U.S. races. Hoping for a bit more racing too!

I'm enjoying Alonso's troll year definitely, but I miss Seb and would rather it was him benefitting from the new improved Aston.

I wonder if the flooding from a couple of weeks ago has all dried up in Miami, the fake marina finally had some real water in it! 😀

I’m missing Danny Ric

You don't need to, I've never seen anyone pop up more on social media than him 😆

😂

Yep Danny was at the Met Gala last night. He gets around 😎

Lewis will be wearing his rainbow helmet this weekend after speaking up about Florida's recent regressive stance regarding the LGBTQ community in Florida.

Glad we still have one driver
speaking up about things.

Good for Lewis!

Unless more drivers start speaking out about things (I desperately miss Seb for things like this) I wonder if he'll stay in F1 for much longer. I know he really wants to win his 8th (and possibly 9th or 10th drivers championship) but he is so well known outside of the sport that he could do his activism outside of the sport. That said, the sport does afford him a platform to do this from.

I don't think he has resigned with Mercedes yet.

Lando wins best helmet design this weekend. It's designed to look like a beach ball, but it's even got a warning bit on it like an inflatable would have. "Not to be used as a flotation device" etc. 😀

Lando does have good helmet designs.

Having spent all morning watching the coronation, Danica’s very short skirt is a contrast. Along with the crumpled look of JB, Martin and Simon. 😂

What on earth is with the Mercs this weekend, so much understeer, and McLaren looking bad too despite bringing upgrades this weekend.

Oh no Lewis

I agree with Lewis they left it too late to send him out.

Wow, Charles just crashed Max is p9 with very little chance or restart.

Yay Checo on pole. Alonso and Saint top 3.

That should be good for tomorrow.

Yes bad luck for Charles, but it makes for an interesting grid tomorrow. Go K-Mag!

And 60% chance of rain for tomorrow, at least last time I saw the weather forecast.

Race production are showing too many crowd shots today, have missed a few things on track because of it.

Yay 😁

I'm suddenly glad it's Spanish I have been studying on Duolingo 😀

Hopefully it will be an interesting race with such a mixed up grid

Has anyone spotted the Ferrari mechanic that lets them out of the garage? He's hot!!

This LL Cool J thing I s so painful to watch.

This is so bad
