F1 2025 - Watchalong Thread

[Brazilianadventure]

Happy New Year.

We start with the first all teams season launch on 18 February. Ferrari reveal their 2025 car the day after.

Pre season testing will take place on 26 to 28 February in Bahrain. Australia will host the opening race on Sunday March 16th.

Dh thought JBs pink suit could be a nod to his dad.

We watch local rallying, saw a scooby hit the end of a crash barrier front end on- fortunately no serious injuries but when you see that sort of thing close up it reminds you motorsport is dangerous.
Rip to the two drivers yesterday. The rally co driver who died lost his brother in a similar incident 13 yrs previously.

I see F2 and the Porsches had a spot of bother at the start. Fingers crossed F1 get away cleanly.

That’s a good thought about Pink for papa.

Bearman is taking a risk but one that could pay off.

Lewis has jumped two cars.

I always forget just how boring Monaco is....

Hamilton lost loads of time lapping the pack.

What are Mercedes thinking with their ‘strategy’.

Just as I type that Sky mention it but I’m not convinced.

At least my boy Oscar should be on the podium.

Well the RB and Williams are playing a good game. It’s also better as it allows their lead driver to have clean air for quite a few laps.

DH and the dog have fallen asleep!

Err was that Lando’s Mum giving a huff at his Girlfriend being in shot?

They need to get rid of Monaco. I know it’s iconic but it’s pretty much unwatchable.

Is Antonelli just not going to pit?

This format with two compulsory pits is worse than normal Monaco.
Way too much game playing on the pit wall and not enough racing.

Totally agree. The game playing has been boring and, in my opinion, pathetic.

Well done Lando. Good top 3 but as per usual the teams managed to outsmart the FIA and produce a boring race.

I liked James Vowles comment. ' I don't like it but we have to do it'

Nice one Lando.

3 points in the drivers standings between Lando and Oscar but Max isn't far off.

The only thing I’m happy about is picking the winner (even if I didn’t want Lando to win).

Ferrari are now only 1 point behind RB for 3rd.

Glad for Lando, he needed that win.

I spent most of that race trying to remember who had pitted and who hadn’t… DH fell asleep early on. The two stop rule certainly didn’t make it any more interesting.

That was terrible 😬

what a god awful race, very happy for Lando though

I see that Lewis is wearing a red suit and Charles the white suit which is unusual.

Happy for Lando. Wit woo for new girlfriend too 😍

Asked dd ,a massive Lando fan, about his new girlfriend. Apparently she's not well liked.

Has something gone off between Lewis and his race engineer?

Apparently at one point didn’t Lewis ask his race engineer if he had upset him? Very odd. I think Lewis seems quite lost.

Is Naomi pregnant or just had a big carby meal? I know she got married a year or so back.

Just googled it, she is.
