Put 20 of these on the grid. Then it will really be the Driver's Championship.

Are there any new drivers to keep an eye on? Or is F1 still so top-heavy, that even great drivers don't stand a chance if the car isn't fast or reliable enough? I feel like it's going to McLaren and Ferrai finishing 1 or 2 for the next 50 years...

McLaren? Good grief. Are you from the past?

McLaren fell to the back of the grid in 2015 and have yet to recover.


Teams with a title shot in 2019:

• Mercedes
• Ferrari
• Red Bull


Driver to watch:

• Charles Leclerc

I'm surprised Bottas is that low, below LeClerc. All it would take is Hamilton to have a nasty accident in testing or at the first Grand Prix that puts him out for a few months and then Bottas would be Mercedes No1 and with the way they have gone in previous years, it's hard not to see them as Championship winners this year.

Something similar happened with Schumacher in 1999 at the British Grand Prix. Rear brake failure meant he went in to the barriers and broke his leg, he missed the next 6 races. Eddie Irvine ended up missing out on the Championship by only 2 points.

The drama at Williams continues.

Lowe is the latest in a series of departures from Williams’ technical team in the last 12 months. During its troubled 2018 campaign chief designer Ed Wood left the team after 12 years at Williams and head of aerodynamics Dirk de Beer departed the Grove-based team last May.
It may be that Jacques Villenueve was more of a realist than we thought when he pronounced the team "dead" last July.

I have to say that the Ferrari looks like so much of a smoother ride. The Merc may be fast but it looks particularly brutal - I don't think Hamilton or Bottas will have any problems with kidney stones! I think that this is what a lot of people were basing their estimates of performance on. The Ferrari is just so much more planted and a much calmer car, but somehow or other the Merc is faster.

I tend to agree with Herr Steiner that Renault's crusade against Haas' buying parts from Ferrari is misdirected effort.
https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/stei ... m/4362118/
Gunther Steiner wrote:
"I think they should do a better job and then they wouldn't get the heat. It is in their own hands. In my opinion, the problem they created themselves by not performing enough and spending too much money. I think they need to up their own game and not try to lower our performance by hindering us. They are not getting closer to the big ones, that is the problem. We not winning is not their problem. Their problem is us being better than them and they use the 'we cannot win' as an excuse. Can they win? It doesn't look it."
What I find more interesting than the performance comparison between the Renault factory team and Haas (a Ferrari customer) is Renault's performance deficit to its own customer teams (previously Red Bull and now McLaren).

If today's Bahrain Grand Prix was an example of what Liberty Media were trying to do with changes to the front wing and DRS for 2019, then I believe that they succeeded. There was plenty of excitement on the track -- so much so that I wished several times for Martin Brundle to jam a sock in David Croft's fat yap to stop his annoying screaming while I was trying to watch the race.

Mercedes are a total machine on their execution of everything, and I can't believe how much Ferrari keep messing up. Ferrari has a car that has been fast enough to win at times, and yet we have 3 Mercedes 1-2 finishes!

Lewis Hamilton is still talking B.S. about how slow his Mercedes is.

https://www.fia.com/events/fia-formula- ... ormation-8
Starting grid for Azerbaijan Grand Prix:
100.5 Valtteri Bottas, Mercedes
100.6 Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes
100.8 Sebastian Vettel, Ferrari
101.1 Max Verstappen, Red Bull / Honda
101.6 Sergio Perez, Racing Point / Mercedes
101.7 Daniil Kvyat, Toro Rosso / Honda
101.9 Lando Norris, McLaren / Renault, 330 km/h (204.9 mph)
101.4 Charles Leclerc, Ferrari
101.9 Carlos Sainz, McLaren / Renault
102.5 Daniel Ricciardo, Renault
102.2 Alexander Albon, Toro Rosso / Honda
102.4 Kevin Magussen, Haas / Ferrari
102.6 Lance Stroll, Racing Point / Mercedes
103.4 Romain Grosjean, Haas / Ferrari, 346 km/h (215.2 mph)
103.4 Nico Hulkenberg, Renault
105.1 George Russell, Williams / Mercedes
102.1 Antonio Giovinazzi, Alfa Romeo / Ferrari - 10 place penalty for new control electronics
105.5 Robert Kubica, Williams / Mercedes (104.1% of Gasly's Q1 time) - pit lane start for modifying car suspension after qualifying
102.1 Kimi Raikkonen, Alfa Romeo / Ferrari - pit lane start for modifying wing after qualifying
101.3 Pierre Gasly, Red Bull / Honda - pit lane start for failing to stop for weighing during Friday's 2nd practice session.

If I were a gambling man, the one driver that I would bet on to lead at least some of tomorrow's race would be Bernd Maylander.

Gasly's quick lap in Q1 marked the first time in the 2019 season that any car other than Mercedes or Ferrari was fastest in any qualifying or practice session.
P.S.: We've been told that reliability improvements in the new spec Honda engine would allow longer operation in higher-output modes than the previous version. They apparently turned Gasly's new engine up to 11 in qualifying. :oops:
