Super Sexy! The article mentioned maybe asking fans opinions; first of all, I don't think elitists really care what the small folks want, even to their own detriment sometimes. I'd take sexy cars with turbo'd V8s and whatever hybrid tech they want to add, no rev limits. they can still penalize after a certain amount of engines are used for the season.

That is sexy, the rear looks like the tail end of the Indy cars.

I kind of like Arrivabene:
"Last year Kimi didn't become an old, ex-F1 driver. My opinion is he is still Kimi, he is feeling the car much better, he is smiling, which is very, very strange – this is the real scoop of the weekend!"

"He was on the ground to look at the car to try to adjust something and I said, 'what are you doing?' He said, 'I was a mechanic when I was young' and I said, 'yes, OK, don't touch the car Kimi!'

I little interesting bit of information about Mercedes. Nico revealed towards the later part of last season, their car had enough power on reserve to lap the entire field at the Australian GP! :o

Left rear axle issues and engine failures, kind of a boring race.

TBH you didn't miss much.
**Spoiler alert**

The silver arrows dominate and Hamilton takes lead from pole and maintains about a 1 - 3second the entire race. Ferrari and and Williams look to be competitive. The rookies Nasr and Verstappen look good as well.

Yeah, I saw the results. 11 cars finishing is rather poor.

If any of you F1 fans are here in San Diego Henry's Pub downtown has an F1 meet up group on Sundays at 11:00am on race weeks to watch the race. It is a good time, the entire bar is F1 fans.

It looks like Hamilton had a power unit failure in FP1

not a bad race at all; I was hoping that Kimi would have closed the gap more after his last stop.

The race wasn't bad. It's sad to see Williams struggle so much after a great start of the season.
Seeing Toro Rosso ahead of RB is awesome.

It's great to see Ferrari on the top step again, I'm just not a fan of their new driver.
Alonso must be kicking himself, but I guess $$$$ talks

It's great to see Kimi so near the podium. And he lost a lap due to a puncture on lap 2. I hope he pounds Vettel this year.

He didn't lose a lap because of that puncture. The safety car promptly saved his race!
His recovery was nonetheless impressive, i give you that.
