Hype starting to build ahead of the season opener here!

Ferrari hype train going very strong right now between the fun aero stuff with the wing and the exhaust diverting, the good launch hype.

Mercedes looking quite strong in general. And George has been performing so well in recent years.

I'm sad to see Aston with so many struggles, but damn do they have an uphill battle ahead. Really hoping for just one more Alonso win here

If Ferrari lives up to the hype, this truly cements Hamilton as the GOAT of career choicesโ€ฆ the complete opposite of Alonso.

Never believe the Ferrari hype train, it's claimed too many victims over the years!

Giving Hamilton a new engineer - they are already winners in my book

I don't believe that's a good outlook for Hamilton. Sure, he and Adami never gelled, but Lewis's current engineer is only temporary: this means he will have to go through the process of learning to work with a new engineer all over again in a couple of races' time.

I appreciate that Aston has a lot of new stuff to grapple with this year (engine, gearbox, new regs etc.) but Iโ€™m still slightly surprised they are seemingly so far behind the development curve given they switched to developing the new car pretty early last year.

Will be interesting to see where they are relative to Cadillac.

[โ€“] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 3 points 2 days ago

I can't see Aston completing any races at the start of the season. Cadillac will be slow but they have a seemingly decent engine. If they can launch it as well as we've seen the Ferrari powered cars can, they might be able to jump places at the start and keep the other cars behind them.

Aston will struggle to get through qualifying and won't make it past lap 20.

[โ€“] Goodeye8@piefed.social 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Aston is completely hampered by the Honda engine. If Lance Strolls comments are to believe they're 4 seconds, yes you read it right 4 seconds, slower than everyone else. Any other problem they might have is almost minuscule compared to the engine problem. Unless they can magically fix their engine they're guaranteed to end up as the backmarker team and even Cadillac is going to beat them because at least the Ferrari engine works.

Not really surprising. Honda had shutdown their f1 r&d department completely. They are basically starting from scratch. The only thing they did in the last 3 years was basically tech support for Red Bull.

If it turns out the merc engine is the one beat...
