    Good interview with Toto Wolff here that I read yesterday: https://archive.ph/SsDmW

    Safety Car rules have unsurprisingly been tweaked

    https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1-safety-car-rules-abu-dhabi-2022/9025157/

    All lapped cars will have to unlap themselves before the safety car comes in

    Last season the word was "ANY" lapped cars, which is what became so controversial in Abu Dhabi

    There was an idea floated online about dropping them behind the leading cars instead of flying round the track to unlap themselves, and deducting a laps worth of fuel from their allowed amount used to ensure it's not too much of an advantage

    I don’t understand why they don’t just line them up in race order. It’s not that hard

    Daniel Ricciardo has now tested negative for COVID so will be fit to race in Bahrain this weekend.

    Bet deep down; Oscar Piastri is a little bit disappointed.

    After the farce of last season and all the bitching and arguing going on, my interest this year is probably the lowest it's ever been. Haven't bothered getting tickets for the British GP and not really taken too much interest in the pre season testing.

    Hopefully I'll get my enthusiasm back (knowing me, I'll probably be glued to the TV when the race starts on Sunday)!

    Funny old game Dave.

    This time last year you could not have paid me to show an interest in F1. However since the last race (watched the highlights) and discovering Drive to Survive I am a hooked.

    Can't wait for this weekend.

    I know you can't tell much from testing but I'd back KMag to be ahead of the Aston's.

    Getting the band back together! Who's next for the call up, Grosjean? Maldonado would be a laugh

    Same for me. Always had a passing interest in F1 and watched the odd race here and there. Races like Monaco (despite the glitz and glamour) bored me because there's very little chance to overtake. But since watching Drive to Survive, getting to know the drivers and seeing all the behind the scenes stuff i'm now well into it and can't wait for Bahrain.

    I like Toto, think he’s a great character.

    Finally finished DTS, Horner reminded me why he's such a prick within the first 10mins of the first episode.

    Latest series further strengthened my love for Valterri. What a humble, likeable guy he is. Had so much pressure and racing against Lewis can't be easy but always come across as such a good bloke.

    Also, how banging is Gaslys missus? Jesus.

    Intro title is a bit meh this year - Great theme tune though, not that it'll ever top the Chain

    Red bull look ahead of everyone. Not sure if I can stomach a year of them dominating

    And yet we all put up with 8 years of Mercedes being ahead of everyone else. 

    Hamilton claiming they're 9 tenths off RB and 6 tenths off Ferrari, until they struggle to make Q3 and finish 6th and 8th on Sunday, I'll take it with a mountain of salt

    I do think Mercedes are struggling, the car doesn't look comfortable to drive

    The porpoising on the Mercedes is ridiculous - in a 2 hour race could cause spine damage or other injuries.  they will fix - but not by Sunday...

    I know they’ll sort it out and win the championship anyway but the thought of Mercedes being in the midfield and having a season of Ferrari vs Red Bull fills me with such joy

    Mercedes are definitely struggling. The question is how much pace there is in the car if they sort out their issues. We probably won't know the answer to that question this weekend.

    Genuinely think Mercedes are probably 2-3 races off fixing this car. Looked incredibly hard to drive and very porpoisey on the straights. Think it's Leclerc or Max for pole tomorrow.

    Verstappen vs Leclerc could be an interesting title fight. 

    Dont they have issue against each other from their karting days?

    Throw in Russell if Mercedes get better in a few races (as he appears to be coping more than Hamilton), and it truly is the beginning of the new Generation rivalry

    Great start to the Formula 3 season.

    Oliver Bearman is going to be a beast this season, just a shame the young idiot couldn't keep it within track limits - Really is going to be the next big thing from Great Britain in this Sport.

    Well that wasn't absolutely pointless.
