Leicesterlichtie Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 The only worthwhile thing about getting up so early to watch this race, was seeing Hamilton or Vettel not winning. Other than that, a fairly dull race. Need a track where some action might occur to set the season off in the right way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarto Mutiny Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 There's nothing like watching an Australian GP at Melbourne to make me pine for Adelaide. What a circuit that was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 The highlight of Channel 4's broadcasts so far is Stefano Domenicalli's trainers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Watched the race replay when I got up on Sunday. Pretty dull. I fear this season will be the same as the last 5 or 6 years where I watch the first few races then give up. The Netflix documentary series, however is fantastic and much more watchable than the races themselves. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows a lot more behind the scenes stuff and im actually glad ferrari or merc didn’t participate, good to see what goes on at the smaller teams 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finished the series last night and I really hope they do another one covering this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dindeleux Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 There's nothing like watching an Australian GP at Melbourne to make me pine for Adelaide. What a circuit that was.I don’t actually know why but I love the Albert Park circuit. As for race it was just a bit meh. I agreed with the commentary though around the midfield being so tight that we could get some good battles at other tracks this year. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think it makes this season more interesting when you know how deep the Rivalries between Red Bull/Renault and Magnesson/Hulkenburg go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Impressive stuff from Leclerc to take a maiden pole position, 0.3 of a second ahead of Vettel. Vettel had to use extra tyres in the second session, so only had 1 lap in Q3. Hamilton and Bottas 3rd and 4th, Haas did well with Magnusson 6th and Grosjean initially 8th, but penalised 3 places for obstructing Norris who was 10th, but now moves up to 9th. Both McLarens in the top 10. Gasly went out in Q2 as both Red Bulls toiled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainMorton Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I’m hoping Ferrari don’t tell him to move over for Vettel, but I think they will 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeek Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I'm not sure they will. They have a chance of creating a Schumacher-esque legacy with Leclerc, something that they will be taking into consideration 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerwickMad Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 What a great race. Gutted for Leclerc after an almost perfect weekend. It was worth the poor start to see him put that move on Vettel. He’s already a superstar and I can easily see him now being the main focus for Ferrari going forward with his age, talent and maturity. Not to mention Vettel making regular errors.Hamilton put in another great performance and kept the head during a bad stint. Put Bottas back in his box a bit in the early stages after Australia. Also promising to see the midfield looking closer to the front teams than they’ve been and McLaren taking a step forward. Norris looking very good again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been interesting to see what Sainz could have done (or Norris with a decent start). Sainz seemed to have the legs on Max but i think the move he pulled was a bit risky. If they did have the legs on the RB, there's a chance he'd have caught LeClerc before the SC. Coulda, shoulda, woulda I know, but definitely promising 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Not sure how many folk listen to Beyond the Grid, the weekly F1 interview podcast.
