Reptiles, live on the dark side of the moon and control the world. You know, that thing. Also rigged AD 2021.
404 - Simpsons reference not found.
Anywho, looking forward to watching some practice tonight!

The insect overlords?

Google “Danica Patrick reptiles” it’s unreal what she thinks. Secret shapeshifter reptile overlords is one of the more sensible things.

This season could see some really high attrition and weird results:

0 mins in - Alonso will take no part due to a power unit issue in his Aston Honda

2 mins in - Oscar’s McLaren Mercedes has no power

3 mins in - Lindblad’s RB Ford has no power

6 mins in - Lando’s McLaren Mercedes has issues

Stroll has put some laps on his Aston Honda so there’s that I guess

Looks like it's gonna be a long season for Alonso and Stroll. Norris and Piastri well off the pace. Ferrari and Red Bull seem to have it together so far.

Nothing is scarier then Lewis with hope for other people on the grid... well except for Alonso in front and Max behind...

Remind me again on qualification rules. Do the teams have to get inside a certain time to be able to race? I'm concerned about Cadillac.

Will Mercedes be able to get a car ready for Ant?

Looks like this season will be less about driving and more about power management.

Fantastic.......instead of spectacle of someone driving the car by their skills and wits, the whole race result will be determined by some anonymous tech geek on a key board in the pits or even in another country, linked to the car via telemetry......or even worse by an AI algorithm live from a data centre who know where in the world
Don't mind me if I have a little snooze, whilst waiting for the results.........ZZzzzzzzzzzzz!

Formula One got all wrapped up on the Net Zero schtick. The only way Formula One gets to Net Zero is to cancel all the races which will stop all the people travelling to the races, and will eliminate transporting all the gear and cars to all the events. But that won't happen, of course, we are stuck with all these gimmicks parading around as a solution to some made up problem.

It used to be: At the start of the race some bloke would signal the start of the race with a flag it gave rise to the old adage "When the flag drops...the bullshit stops" Meaning it's all up to the driver now!
Sadly now the bullshit never ends!

I’m expecting way more passing than years past. Not always regenerating at the same place every lap will make things interesting.
