  Watched the new F1  qualy 1 And.....

  Just fookin dangerous imo....fun start to it. most cars on and good to see all jostling for track position....BUT....

  Someone will be hospitalised...!!!!!!!!!!

  No one knows what they are doing..ffs ? ..near 2 'close shaves' as I saw....

  The 'computer crew' on pit wall just wandering across the lane while bedlam ensues all around in the background !!!!

  They HAVEN'T got on board with the new rules yet....got last seasons mind set ?

  Mooched across a motorway with tablet in hand and got lucky !!

  Rang up and tried to put a bet on about a killing in pit lane this season....no bookie would take it ??

  Understandable with todays sensibilities...still !!

  People will die / could ....injured for sure..

  Madness, good viewing and hope I'm wrong..

  Hmmmm knowing Melbourne.......anything could happen LOL

  But interesting comments in a day and age that companies have to jump through hoops to be H&S compliant...........this is like the wild west!

  Ya, fook the weather ( 4 seasons etc )   ;-)

  Like Top shelf said..there HAS to be discussions going on right now..?

  All for letting the best , do what they do best with little constraints BUT..

  There is a fine line between madness and stupidity...and it is the plebs on the periphery that are in possible dire straits

  And those two words should have no basis in a discussion about F1 ?

  Calculated risks ? 

  That is what it is about....

  Driver or crew !

  Q1 start good...boring as noted already later on...

  Needs a tweek , tho the premise is there

  Isn't that why people watch? NASCAR's the same way.

  NO Jim....

  We have brain cells, not crashy burny stuff that peaks our interest !!

  More about fuel left / tire deg / pitting at an opportune time / when to deploy DRS / box / KERS etc  etc  etc  etc 

  ;)))
