No Renault engines running more than 70laps again. Not looking too good for them, I can see all hell breaking loose in Melbourne at this rate.

So what's everyones thoughts on the first race of this year?

I loved it, maybe it's because I've been missing F1 since the end of last season, but I really enjoyed this weekends racing! The new turbo cars sound hillarious on the overrun, I can't remember I saw someone set a pole position lap while still have full opposite lock round several corners.

Also, Vettel AND Hamilton both out in the first race, Ricciardo getting DQ'd and Mclaren sneaking in to get two places on the podium!? Where the hell did all that come from??

Also, I'm LOVING how fast that Williams is looking, they had a sh*tty weekend with the bad luck they had, BUT they do have a good car and I'm hoping for good things for them this year.

the sound is really poor no real drama with them inky:

 

[Robo_#1]

Down the straight yeah I agree, it's too quiet. On the overrun though with all those whistles and pops they sound mental.

There's rumours that they'll get louder over time as the teams start to tweak the engine/exhaust set up.

Atleast there aren't any broken bones hopefully Lewis can have another great start on the restart

 

[Rogue]

Horrendous crash.

The iceman not being so cool today.

 

[Chris]

Shame they have to do it at the same time as the wimbledon final.

Feel sorry for Lewis yesterday but his own stupid fault I guess.

 

[DB_CLIO]

Hamilton running strong still great effort

Finally a bit of luck for Hamilton, particularly after the couple of sneaky moves that Rosberg has pulled in the last couple of Grand Prix's. Should be an easy victory for him along as the car stays strong.

please keep it in the correct thread/section please!

So where at the Halfway point. whats everyones thoughts so far

I think it could be rosberg's season

Ricciardo and Bottas great seasons so far

Massa Massive let down to the Williams team might as well have kept Maldonado

Very happy to see Williams back up there after so long, mid to back of the pack

 

[N0ddie]

Hamilton seems to be going out go his way to throw this one away.

I think Rosberg for the title tbh.

Enjoying Ricciardo and Williams progress this year. I actually like Red Bull with Ricciardo driving.
