Alright when was that again.....?

[ThePanzafahra]

I genuinely hope Mercedes get a true challenge this year and hopefully finally get beaten. Hence why I hope and vote for Verstappen to win the opener.

A good competitive season would be great, for the first in a long time I'm optimistic this may be a good season.

 

[Kimirai]

Yep, let's hope for a really competitive season, with hopefully no Mercedes dominance, while waiting for next year's new era?

After seeing testing (and wrongly assuming the pecking order from it) I voted for Perez. Max certainly a front runner for it, but Perez won last time here, so I'm falling back on that.

Question: Is there any country where F1 is broadcast for free?

At one time in France this was the case and it was a family event, but since it was put on a pay channel, no.

those are some amazing photos!
I just hope that he reign of Mercedes will finally be over

 

[LeSunTzu]

Hamilton has rarely been in top form at the first race of the season and the Mercedes did not look too happy on this track during testing. I would guess the planets are aligned for a Dutch winner.

Yes, here in Brazil, the F1 races are broadcasted on open television.

Mercedes 1 and 3 divided by max. Same old.

The driver line up is awesome let's hope we get a fun season to watch

 

[Foxi81]

Think it will be Mercedes again on top but not sure about Hamilton or Bottas followed by either Verstappen or Ricciardo.

As long as it is only on Pay-TV in germany -> don´t care any more about F1

20 up to 23 Euro / month is way too much for having a Sky account just to watch Formula 1. Other sports in the "Sports package" like football is not catching my interest so...will not be watching it any more.

@Foxi81 You can watch on f1.com. It's cheaper.

Unless you were a subscriber to F1TV and extended your subscription you cannot (in Germany).

Absolutely, I think it's the best driver line up in many years!

 

[Jan Larsen]

Really not a fan of him, but Verstappen looks like a genuine challenger. I'm rooting for Perez in that team though.
Ferrari as an outsider if their speed traps at the pre-season testing is genuine.

But who's gonna retire first??? I think mazepin

 

[Nick Hill]

Along with just about everyone else (even a few of the Hamilton fans at this point, I assume) I'm hoping for utter chaos...but expecting Mercedes to nab another double podium. Merc 1-3 with Max in the middle. Snore.

Testing has often been proved misleading. I think there's a lot of false hope for competition this year, unfortunately.

Merc and AM had the most down time in testing. Mostly due to mechanical issues. Unless they've fixed it, they might retire first.
