Oh kek

Its my time.

Nope.

Will Foxtel coverage of Melbourne be ad-free?

Yes it is, cunt.

STOP

anti siphoning laws are still around, so no.

Race will be PIP during the ads.

Must poor people ruin everything?

it's fucken on FTA as well. Makes no sense that foxtel have to show ads.

>Must capitalists ruin everything?

FTFY

>"sorry, but there is money to be made"

Wait, since when did Foxtel show ads?

Since they were a shit service that isn't worth paying for, and all of their subscribers should be lobotomised

So about 2 years after they launched

But they didn't use ads last year?

He is just an idiot.

Foxtel share rights with 10 for this race, and can't show any footage that 10 doesn't. Or rather they can, but it has to be split-screened over ads at the same time 10 breaks for ads, with the ads' sound, not F1's.

Pants-on-head retarded.

Edgy AND wrong, Impressive!


>being poor
>being salty at being poor

Sad!

Get a job

Stop posting Australia pls.

I give you Sauber Weeb

I'm a casual. How will bottas do with merc?

Goddamn if something awesome happens while shitty channel 10 is playing adds im gonna burke street albert park

Nah, fuck off

Well if it's MWL he only has to beat one person so if he doesn't become WDC he is a FLOP

2edgy4me

What about hamilton?

Bottas is probably better than Bossberg and Bossberg could beat Hamilton so Bottas should be good against him. It will be interesting at the end of the season when there are likely to be other cars in the mix, so it will be interesting if Bottas can handle it.

Ok. I'm actually waiting for the races now.

That's a bad logic to work off. It's not really true in a sense, that Rosberg _beat_ Hamilton, it's more that Hamilton lost it against his own ego. Otoh Bottas is likely better then Rosberg, and Lewis is a mental wreck, and Bottas has alot to prove. I think it's likely that Bottas vs Hamilton will be a much better fight then the last 3 years.

>you now remember BOSSberg won 2016

2016 was alright tbqh

Best for years honestly

If MWL, I hope Bottas wins so Alonso can't move to Mercedes for 2018 (his McLaren will be up at the end of the year).

>Mercedes wouldn't have the balls to fire a reigning WDC
>Hamilton would stay because he'd be too butthurt to quit after being cucked to the championship two years in a row

>HWL
>Bottas dropped, Alonso to Merc
>Hamilton ego to the amx
>Fails like 2016, resulting in AWL

Or

>BWL
>Hamilton on suicide watch
>might even rage quit

Which one do you choose?

I want Alonso to retire having never won another championship :^)
Hence why I don't want him at Mercedes.

Is this contrarian aussie speaking here?

I can smell the schadenfreude

>hating on Alonso
Are you the contrarian Aussie?

>Literally German tier posting

>Literally Austfailian tier posting

>Literally contrarian Aussie caught contrarian posting red handed

>literally unironic objective truth posting

Keke Wins LOL on Fox now

>literally contrarian Aussie tier posting
You know only toothpastes and that one amxtard suomi are worse than that, right?

Did I ever tell /f1/ about the dream I had where I was driving an F1 car and crashed it into a big glass shop window.

What did it mean guys?

>getting mad because someone has an opinion that disagrees with the circlejerk

Here's an F1 discussion forum you'll like:
reddit.com/r/formula1

I'm not reddit obsessed aussie so no

Nothing. I have stupid F1 dreams all the time. Last week I crashed and the stewards made me run one lap before I was allowed to enter the car again. I took a shortcut though a fence.

It means you could have been a racing driver, but instead of spending your money on forging a racing career, you wasted it on consumerist garbage.

In my dreams everything always goes wrong, I never win races I always crash or some meme shit happens. Why are they so realistic?

It means your spirit animal is AMX at Monaco lad

There's having different opinions, and then there's different opinions based on contrarian logic that most people grow out of in their teens/early 20's.

You've exposed yourself as an idiot multiple times, to a point where everyone knows who you are, just by the way you post. You may as well use a trip, or otoh perhaps go to reddit yourself, because you seem to enjoy having an online presence.

Same for me. In the beginning everything is normal but after a while it's no longer an actual race track and the cars go flying left and right.
I think my subconscious mind is trying to tell me that F1 is boring af

>mfw watching latest Top Gear

THERE IS NO ESCAPE

HE IS EVERYWHERE

Is the new new top gear any good? I read somewhere they got rid of the awful guy.

Annoying ginger cunt is gone.
Now it's Joey, Chris Harris, and the black guy.

It's not perfect, but it's a lot better than people (ie Clarkson/Hammond/May fanboys) are giving it credit for.
Definitely more entertaining than The Grand Turd.

>implying being contrarian for the sole purpose of being contrarian counts as opinion

>I don't support this driver because he was born in the same shithole as me, therefore I can't support him because that would be a tiny bit patriotic
>even though he is objectively one of the best drivers on the grid and races hard but fair and has by far the best personality as well
>he's just acting to be likeable anyway
>look at me guys am I triggering you with my """""opinion""""" yet?

It's nothing more than attentionwhoring, lad. Here's your (you) though.

Forget it lad, he only likes chicks with dicks.

can't wait for Valtteri to almost win a race but fail on the last lap as the Finland Loses Again curse strikes :DDDD

nothing wrong with traps lad

most F1 drivers even have the perfect bodies to become qt grills

Fuckin pumped. Picked up my ticket today. First F1 race of my life.

For me, it's one of those things you do once.

I went to the 2014 aus gp and it was cool and I enjoyed it, but you don't get to see everything so you miss quite a bit sometimes.

I figured it would be something like this. I went to an Indycar race a long long time ago (like 15 years back) and I still vaguely recall not seeing that much desu.

And yeah, it's a once in a lifetime thing. I'm almost at the end of my time here in Melbourne, came here with the intention of going to a bunch of the local sporting events and I've had quite a good summer with the AO, cricket, AFL and now the F1 race.

>Thursday - Roaming Grandstand

I had no idea you have so much track action on Thursday already. Here we only get a greet n meet by the drivers and a walk on the main straight and the pitlane with the teams working on the cars and practicing pitstops. It's always crowded af.

Seeing the cars in real life though is something different, it gives you a new appreciation for them

This will be my first time attending, any GA lads around for the weekend? Wouldn't mind meeting up as I'm friendless for the GP

I'm going alone as well, if you want to meet up on Friday. Sat/Sun I'll probably be in my seat.

Sounds good user! Add me on KIK if you have it: kcnj13

>seeing a GP live is a one time thing
Having been to Nürburg- and Hockenheimrng once I'd agree, but last year's Spa weekend was so nice I could do it every year desu

I hope Sauber win a race this year :D

I unironically dreamed Ericsson got a podium in Australia

>Free entry for children 14 and younger at the Aussie GP
SAD!
the sport is fucking dead

It's a common policy in Australia, including sports that are as strong as ever.

Nice Proxy, Aaron

Its common for a fair few things here too.

Under 14's are in general a waste of money for a lot of events

I like this thread

This comment boggles my mind somewhat, whom is willing to all from NSW to Belgium to watch a f1 race yet won't pay for Fox Sports 8 months of the year.

It's mostly old people who are so adverse to paying for it because they still think that TV should be a free service and are to technologically illiterate or ignorant to figure out a free way of viewing the races.

to be fair they probably combined it with holidays in europe?

Australia what the fuck?

It's just Victoria la.

that lad on the penny farthing

i feel white shame

>is a Dane
>first name is Dane
Strange

I can't wait, this off-season has been hell for me and F1 is the only thing I'm looking for this month.
Btw, all this talk about streaming being dead... does that mean that the usual public f1 acestream is dead? you know, the one that ends in a48, or is it just hennopleb?

MERCEDES RUNNING SLOW MODE DURING TESTING CONFIRMED

autosport.com/news/report.php/id/128549/mercedes-commits-to-latestspec-engine

GET READY FOR ANOTHER YEAR OF MWL

>not getting comfy while watching winter sports during off-season

You've missed out, m8.

Das rite he is yugoslav

Istria is italian

Fuck off toothpasteeeee

Most teams schedule an engine upgrade after testing

really makes you think huh

Fuck you

But Andretti was actually italian tbqhfam

Renault is getting a better engine, Ferrari seems to have not tested the 3D printed engine shit yet, Honda is Honda. Mercedes getting their spec 2 engine that was tested in the 2nd test is not revolutionary.

Not a real sport.

pretty much everyone speaks italian there besides croatian

Not a real bird.

Great thread Ameribro.

Fuck off, Jacques.

2bh italians built the whole croatian coastline. Also do sone istrian towns' names carry italian influence like medulin or rovinj
