All that aside, I'm delighted for McLaren, Seidl seems to be moving them back towards the top which is great for F1.

He's had a good few years to try and bring the fight to Hamilton, and it just seems like he can't mount a campaign. He's competitive in qualifying, and on tracks which it's harder to overtake, if he can get ahead in the first corner he can pick up a win. Picks up a couple wins, but then falls off to become the Vettel strat blocker. If Bottas was leading the team instead of Hamilton, Merc probably doesn't win 2017 and maybe not even 2018. There have been rumors floating around of Vettel>Merc for a year for marketing purposes, before Russell gets a shot at it. I would feel bad if that happens though, Russell is easily as good as Leclerc or Norris, but he gets to drive a moving chicane. Hopefully he can get a seat somewhere more competitive so that we can see what he can really do. | ||

Excited about the season, I was a very casual viewer of F1 up until this month where I binged both DTS seasons on Netflix, super interested now | ||

The name was chosen as FIA regulations dictate that a host nation can only hold one race; however, a loophole exists that allows a nation to hold a second event if the event is run under another name. | ||

ChainBear made a video about this on Silverstone: | ||

I don't think any of the tracks currently scheduled have any alternate configurations available though. | ||

Bahrain for example has an endurance configuration and an F1 configuration, and Paul Ricard could have a different configuration for every race of a season. I don't think any of the tracks currently scheduled have any alternate configurations available though. Chain Bear has a video for that as well! tl;dr: F1 has a ton of rules for its circuits besides being "grade 1": circuit length, width, bank, straight lengths, corner degree directions, etc. However most tracks on the calendar breaks some of these rules in one way or another, so they're not necessarily set in stone. | ||

Lando's qualifying continues to impress. It'd be cool to see him get a podium at some point this year. edit: I saw it pointed out that compared to last year, the only teams that didn't improve their times were the Ferrari-powered teams and Red Bull (but Red Bull just barely didn't). The Ferrari-powered teams lost huge chunks of time compared to last year. I wonder if that has something to do with the engine ruling from late last year? | ||
