We could have some select, small money side bets as well to make things more fun to follow, since things seem to be growing on CP a bit. I'll throw out the first challenge. The poster challenged can accept, decline or amend.

Flamesrule - Stroll finishes top 10 this season - $20.

[FLAMESRULE]

Hahaha, sure, I like it!! I'll accept that bet Jayswin.

I'll throw this up to the first taker...Alpha Tauri beats Renault in the constructors.

[jayswin]

Awesome haha. figured you'd like that one. On one hand Racing Point is looking good as "Pink Merc", on the other hand...it's Lance Stroll, I'm sure he can parlay this into a less than stellar result, lol.

If this catches on we can create a post with the side bets, compiled.

Kind of annoying F1 moved Paddock pass from YouTube to Spotify. Paddock pass got me back into F1 and I loved watching Buxton... I mean it’s still the same show on Spotify but having it only audio is definitely not as enjoyable.

Boy, the Pink Mercedes are fast. Will be interesting to see if they have reliability and put the screws to the top 3 teams on off weekends.

What the heck is going on Ferrari???

[agulati]

Vettel (11) Gasly (12) Ocon (14) all knocked out in Q2. Leclerc (10) barely squeezes in to Q3

[agulati]

Bottas (1), Hamilton (2) and Verstappen (3) qualify top 3.
Norris with a good showing to qualify 4th. Racing point with both their drivers in top 10. Ferrari is behind the top 2 teams with Leclerc qualifying 7th and Vettel 11th

[btimbit]

Aston Martin and McLaren pushing top teams next year would be amazing. Hopefully this is a trend and not just opening night jitters for Ferrari

[woob]

Wow, what a result. Super pumped for Norris!

I think tsn now carries the F1TV stream for FP1 and FP3. I was up late and watched some great coverage of FP3 via TSN app.

Was falling in and out of sleep watching this morning. Did Verstappen set the 3rd fastest time on medium tires? if that is the case he should be the favourite tomorrow. Plus his 1st stint is going to be super long.

[agulati]

I honestly don’t even have a team to support this year. I haven’t liked Ferrari, and I cannot stand Lewis Hamilton. I was a big Raikkonen fan though, before his Ferrari days, followed by Nico Rosberg. Since Rosberg has retired, I haven’t watched much of F1, though I’m excited to get back into the sport. It’s good to see a couple of Canadian kids in it.

No I think he had mediums in Q2 so he can start tomorrow on them, but his time in that quali was 1:04 flat. Poll was 102.939. He will have longer life though tomorrow to start.

My $0.02....

It seems we are looking at Merc vs RBR this year. Ferrari has backslid to the midfield which looks to be a 4 way fight.

Stroll might be looking good for a win this year with how good he seems to race.

Really hope Williams can make some strides forward over last year's debacle

[jayswin]

I wouldn't write Ferrari off as already slid to the midfield, as they do have the ability to adjust (sometimes by cheating!) but yeah, not looking great so far.

[jayswin]

It feels so good to see the teams back on the track this year. Aesthetically, Mercedes looks way better this year with predominantly black car, along with AlphaTauri.

Love seeing Racing Point taking a huge step up this year, and would love to see Lance Stroll take a podium somehow.
