Off topic: does anyone here watch Indy Car racing? If you have not, you would enjoy the action as it is also open-wheel racing.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
No it was me. I just thought with the Ferrari engine and other help and the Indy Car experience HAAS have , they would be quick of the mark and not struggling at the back of the grid.

Meh, bad race weekend for me. Hamilton and Force India major disappointments. Maybe you could threadmark after each race @pauldyson1uk so that we know how we did after each race ?
Good Idea and done.
Not to bad for me , lost a place, for some reason I took Grosjean out of my team, God know why.
Not a great start from me but hopefully that will change now that I've corrected the utterly absurd mistake of not having a Mercedes driver in my team.
I dont they will agree and qualifying will stay the same for the next race.

Happy Days back to 2015 qualifying for next race.

Just stop chopping and changing stuff. Just go back to the qualifying of the old days. One hour straight out. Its free for all. None of this session 1 then eliminate drivers, then another session eliminating more drivers and then a final session.
That was dull as feck. Triple session format is fine. The problem with F1 at the moment is the cars themselves.
Yep, the regs that need fixing are the technical ones not the sporting ones.
I doubt there is many that have not seen it but Senna is in ITV 4 AT 23:00 a must for any F1 fan.
Must have seen it at least 6 times. Favorite driver behind Michael Schumacher.
So have I but it never loses anything for me, the last 30 mins still gives goosebumps.
I saw Rush a few years back, and after that, Niki Lauda took up second place for me after Schumi.
Yep both Senna and Rush are fantastic films.
Incredible film. I remember waiting for the end, knowing what was coming but still being mesmerised
Always seem to get some grit in my eye during the funeral.
Music is perfect as well.
Music is perfect as well.
How is it actually any different? Its gotten longer and still only the best cars (at least more than 90% of the time) or the known candidates that get to the the final round. I would rather all the drivers be given a chance till the end to get their best lap in. I guess one difference is the best drivers would have some traffic problems at the end because of the 'slower' cars also getting in their qualifying lap with the previous sessions.
My enduring memory of the old system is nothing happening for 45 odd minutes, then a really exciting final few (Mika vs Schumi
). 3 sessions at least guarantees that you get the top cars running quick laps from the off, there's a chance of grid mix ups if someone can't hook a lap together and you should still get the really exciting end. As long as the cars aren't crap.I may be alone here but I really liked the one lap shootout they had. Put a lot of pressure on as 1 mistake and you're screwed. Also meant the weather would occasionally give you a Minardi in the top 6
F1's return to 2015 qualifying format confirmed
Decision to go back to old format rubber-stamped for Chinese GP

The Senna film Right to Win was even better for seeing the guy for who he was. "Senna" the film was great because of the production and the music. Better made but check the other one out its on YouTube I think.
Not seen that one , It is on utube, will check it out.
Lewis handed 5 place grid penalty for Chinese GP. If this was from the Bottas incident isn't this a little harsh. Anyway more bad luck for Lewis.
They changed the gearbox.

I sense a DNF for Lewis this weekend , he has said he has a problem with his engine.
Q1 red flagged , looks wet in a few places and dry in most, difficult track.

They are trying to dry out the puddles on the straight where Wehrlein came off
It was strange place to lose it.

99% of the track is bone dry , but a couple of wet places.
I wouldn't have attempted to dry out those bits, let them do it themselves, adds a bit of unusual drama to the session.
I think they saw how Wehrlein can off and decided that it was too wet for slicks
One of the faster car on that wet bit and it could be a disaster.
They're just taking the piss now.
has always safety first , but I agree with you , just adds to the excitement.
looks like Lewis will be at the back of the grid
Sky on about Lewis have the advantage in the race and could finish on the podium, if they can sort out his car yes a possibility.
Looks like Ferrari have it this weekend.
Going to rain a lot this weekend. Raging I couldn't get a ticket to this though.
What happened Hamilton?
it is going to be an interesting race that for sure, Lewis will be raging and want to get up the field quick has he can, means he will take risks, that his race style, he could take himself out if his car lasts the race.
Another Red Flag , car losses a Tyre.
