Formula One starts this weekend, am I the only fan?

New season of Drive to Survive dropped today on Netflix. With the Covid angle this could be a really interesting season.

Saturday morning, sipping some coffee, brisket on the smoker and FP3 on tv.

It’s happening!

Can’t wait for this new season. Just finished season 3 of DtS. My team to watch this year is AlphaTauri. I think between Pierre taking a giant leap and Yuki coming in, they’re poised to jump the most. I’ll be rooting for McLaren because let’s face it, they’re more of an American team than Haas at the moment.

Any preseason predictions?

Here’s my best guess for the Constructor’s Championship:
10. Haas
9. Williams
8. Alfa Roméo
7. Alpha Tauri
6. Aston Martin
5. Alpine
4. Scuderia Ferrari
3. McLaren
2. Mercedes
1. Red Bull

I think having 2 competitive seats helps Red Bull finally split the Mercedes, and I think they’ll pick off enough points from Bottas to make it happen. I’m betting it’ll be close though because I still think Lewis will win the Driver’s Championship.

I’m also strongly debating putting Alpha Tauri ahead of Aston Martin.

 

[3TrueFans]

I think I'd have a hard time betting against Mercedes, but I hope it's close at least.

I’ll take a shot at this.

Hard to ever bet against Mercedes until proven otherwise. Early practice results point to some vulnerability but I’ll wait until Q3 to believe Mercedes isn’t holding back. I do believe it’ll be much closer this year and Verstappen will get a few more wins this year. Ferrari gains a little form this year, but I think they have a long ways to go to get back up with the big 2. Alpine and Aston take big steps back this year to account for Alpha Tauri I think being a big gain. Haas = oof.

 

[JHUNSY]

I was honestly thinking Red Bull 2, Mercedes 1 all the way up until I put it on paper just now. I don’t know, just feel like Red Bull can do it.

I think they can, but I definitely wouldn’t put money on it.

 

[Cleaver]

If Red Bull fixed their rear end issues, I will definitely change my mind on that.

I can’t wait for Steiners commentary on Maze-spin next season on DTS.

I’ll take a crack at it.

Hot take I know but Verstapen looks stupid quick right now and Checo was the best midfield driver in the past 5 years.

 

[clone136]

Really want Williams to score some points. They are my favorite team. I like drivers more than teams though. Interested to see how Daniel Riccardo does in the Macleran

 

[3TrueFans]

The Alpha Tauris look super quick.

 

[JHUNSY]

Yuki and Pierre looked great, really impressed by the Honda power. Nikita kinda screwed Ocon and Vettel, but the Aston Martin looked a bit slow to me anyways. I think Alpine just waited too long with Ocon and he had unfortunate circumstances there with the caution.

George with a great Q1 lap to jump back up there. Who would have thought both Romeos and a Williams made it out of Q1?

 

[3TrueFans]

Sainz engine problems?

 

[3TrueFans]

I just want Martin to sit next to me and narrate my driving. And wow Ferrari but on softs so we’ll see how that stacks up.

 

[mramseyISU]

Sainz engine problems?

Looks like P1 for Q2. After last year I’m shocked. What kind of shady stuff did they do to that power unit?

 

[Cleaver]

Perez missing Q3. That’s a big oof. Giovinazzi but down a mega lap for the Alfa Romeo and just missed Q3. Now we see if Mercedes has been sandbagging it.
