Nearly cried when my company Golf went back with the seat warmers. Had a Saab lease though and it didn't have them, they were the bastards to bring them out in the first place.

It's a newish CRV?
Yes. Not newest tough, can't keep up and won't keep up. Those drive forever.

Great thread guys. Grew up with F1. As a kid I watched these legends going at it...

Try to catch a race when I can.

Was Nigel Mansell ever young? He's looked like a podgy 50 year old since the 70's.

Sunday night it all kicks off in Melbourne! I'll watch as many as I can before it's televised at silly o'clock on a Sunday morning.

Always holding hope out for McLaren but we'll see what happens. Pretty sure it'll be Lewis' season again though.

Let me see who started on the pole.
Vettel (Ferrari) won.
Sounds like there was a pass in this race. On pit road after something called a Virtual Safety Car came out he was able to pass Hamilton - the pole sitter.

Edit : It looks like he had to pass 2 cars to win this race! Another Ferrari - Kimi Raikkonen - qualified 2nd and Vettel was 3rd. It also sounds like this pass happened on pit road.

Fucking holograms
I reported the truth, but it was heavy with sarcasm.

The cars are fast as fuck. The drivers are insanely talented. But the racing is boring as fuck, imo. It's generally just a couple hours of follow the leader. I can't get into it.

Bahrain in a fortnight is a much faster track, lots more opportunity for overtaking on the straights.

The start is good, if theres going to be any drama it usually happens at the green light. After that it seems to be won on car reliability and pit stops.

I want to like F1, the cars are superb and the drivers are genuine athletes with serious skills, it just can't get into watching a bunch of cars going round a track though.

One thing I like about F1 is that it really is a team sport. From the wind tunnel testing to the guy with a wrench during the pit stops, it's not just down to the driver.

Yeah I agree, you see drivers seasons go to shit despite having a fast car due to mechanical faults.

Way back when Damon Hill went from hero to zero when he changed teams.

I hated McLaren losing Lewis Hamilton but he just outgrew us really.
