Default F1 season 2019

Now this is the proper way to kick off the season...... from about the 2 minute mark on.

Sorry, this site will not allow the link...... prior to the start of the race each of the driver's toured the track on the back on an MGA!

Great to see Honda back on the podium. I thought Red Bull was making the right move dropping the Renault engine after last season. But I wasn't sure how the new Honda engine would do. With 3rd, 10th, 11th, and 14th place finishes and no DNFs it was a pretty good start. Hope they don't develop issues with oil dilution and excess wear. (I don't even know if F1 engines are DI. Just tossed that in there for you, Dave.)

The good news, I DVR'ed the race.
The bad news, The recording was awful. not quite sure why, but tiled and broken up throughout the race.
Like listening on the radio with a stream of still pictures and 3-5 second video snippets.

I taped it via Comcast and had no issues.

Same here.
Ricciardo again DNF'd. Hope this isn't going to be a repeat of last year for him.

Bit of a snoozer of a race. Bottas ran away with this one after the first corner, luckily Australia isn't the guideline for the way the season will go but it does show Ferrari have some work to do.

Leclerc could've passed Vettel for sure, curious how long they'll keep Charles from passing Seb. Pleased for Bottas, gutted for Ricciardo.

Except for a couple tracks most are snoozers unless it rains.

True. I am hopeful the new aero helps with that and allows more passing.
