It's begun! I was smiling last night as I realized I was watching Formula 1 again.
Go Nico, go Vettel, go Kimi, go Bottas.
Don't go Lewis.

I guess Fernando was messed up like loco en la cabeza muy malo:
"Spanish publication El Pais suggests Alonso believed he was still a young kart racer when he awoke after the crash (h/t Byron Young and Ed Malyon of the Mirror): "I'm Fernando, I drive go karts and I want to be a Formula 1 driver," he reportedly said when asked his name, occupation and aspirations. McLaren confirmed that report on Friday, according to Pete Gill of Sky Sports.
This led to Malyon tweeting the driver had lost memory of the past two decades:"

Hope he recovers, el tiene mucha alma.

You can view the F1 races, qualified and practice sessions on NBC Sports Channel. It's not the regular NBC network.
Beyer looks fast in his new Ferrari but it looks like Mercedes has the fastest cars on the track right now, I predict a win for Louis Hamilton.

Good win for LH....
I see that Red Bull is already crying big tears about "Its not fair".....
Funny how things change, so quickly.
Can't wait for the next round.
Don't count Honda out just yet.... It's a loooong season

I like David Hobbs, but he drives me nuts when he says "all over him like a cheap suit".
A cheap suit falls apart at the seams. A wet blanket is what's all over someone.

Well, hopefully Ferrari has cut the gap this year. Last year was boring.

God, that Shell commercial is so phukking great!
NOTHING was sweeter than the 60's monocoques. As a wee blighter I carved one.
This season could be very good. Scuderia and Williams are looking better and maybe
even Mclaren can earn a few points?

For those asking about streaming options, I'll post a site when I get home; can't remember the address off the top of my head. You can stream the British Sky broadcast; not HD but okay, especially with no commercials. Sky broadcast all practice and quali sessions as well as the race.

Here's one streaming site; there are others out there according to posters on F1 websites, but this is the only on that's worked for me on a consistent basis. It has lots of other sports also.

Thanks for the clarification, Overwatch.
I was the one with his metaphor mixed, and David Hobbs was escape goat.

I won't waste my time watching qualifying anymore.
This new system is really bad.
