Honestly? 50/50 for the mercs @ioi happy chef?

Hey, there's an F1 thread again. Neat.

Too bad this season is a bit of a bore so far. Was really hoping that we could maybe get a Hamilton vs. Leclerc battle, but Ferrari is nowhere near the form they had early last season, and of course Ferrari can't sort out their team order situation no matter how many team principles they go through. I mean, even as a Hamilton fan, I'd like to see a little more competition than just Bottas. No offense to him, and he's doing well so far this year, but I just don't buy him as a serious long term threat to the title. If he proves me wrong, and it goes down to the wire, cool....I just need to see it to believe it.

At least RB seems to be coming along pretty well with Honda, so hopefully by next season they might really be able to challenge for the title again. Max vs. Lewis would be great fun.

Today a true F1 legend has passed away.

D.E.P. Niki Lauda.

Sad day. Not just a sporting legend, but an actual legendary character all around. 

The lack of bets are almost welcome, given how easy is to crash in Monaco.

I think I'll go with Verstappen. The Red Bulls are the ones that seem to be closer to the Mercs and he's very fast in Monaco, but he's also prone to having accidents. So, if he manages to finish the race, he has a good chance of winning.

Anyone remember pre-season testing, when everyone was talking about how great Ferrari was going to be this year?
Seems like a long time ago lol

^Isn't that always the case with Ferrari these last years? Great start of the season but then they don't know how to evolve the car. Only this time the Mercs didn't show their true potential.

At least we didn't get another 1-2 in the last race.
