So that would be the same as every bookie then.

I think you mean "clueless c u n t" but you're close enough.

He truly is exceedingly stupid.

But maybe he makes exceedingly good cakes?

I doubt he has any skills of note.

Are you trying to get this thread sent to the dog house? Oh no, it’s not a moronic thread started by you is it.

You insist on making stupid posts, but you forget that grown ups are playing here. Not gonna happen imbecile.

(It’s not really your fault. It’s a generational thing). Young people who assume that cellphone access makes them intelligent, are undermining an entire generation who understand the difference between TikTok and reality, don’t deserve idiots like you ruining their future.

Now read it again, only slowly this time.

I had my drivers license before cellphones were in everyone's pocket you stupid old bastard.

I was just asking if VocalNeal was supporting Alpine again and you somehow tried to turn this into a shitfight between me and you.

Fuck off skid mark, no-one wants to listen to your bullshit.

This thread is for adults.

555 I was just thinking whether I should buy an Aston Martin shirt, after saying I wouldn't. Yes I'm torn between Alonso and Renault (Alpine)

Alonso driving skill not withstanding Gasly was only just behind Stroll.

You do know it's Free Practice right?

At 11pm Thailand we'll have a real idea of how fast the teams are.

[VocalNeal]

^ OK I won't order my shirt just yet.

Some mates of mine were on a plane to Bahrain with some of the Alpine guys.

One of them was only going there to apply the pink trim for the Bahrain and Saudi races. They go back to blue/pink for Melbourne.

Nice fucking work if you can get it.

Gasly started dead last and finished 9th, in the points. Good damage limitations run for him. Alonso got 3rd.

Worst case scenario for a boring championship was a Leclerc DNF. But that's what we got. Only sycophants like Mercedes fans enjoy seeing one car dominate.

How about you fuck off , fuckin' asshole.

The first race of the Formula 1 season wasn’t much of a race at all.

Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing opened the defense of his world championship with a dominant performance on Sunday at the Bahrain Grand Prix, winning by 12 seconds — an eternity in a sport that measures gains in the hundredths of seconds — and sending a message to the rest of the series that he will not surrender his championship easily.

Fastest in Saturday’s qualifying, Verstappen pulled away from the starting line on Sunday, beat his top rivals and his teammate Sergio Pérez to the first turn and never looked back. His lead grew slowly at first, two seconds, then four, then five. He beat Pérez by just under 12 seconds and the rest of the field by at least 38.

The big surprise was the car that followed the Red Bulls across the line: Fernando Alonso, the oldest driver in the field at age 41, who gave Aston Martin a surprise trip onto the podium in his first race with the team. Carlos Sainz, in a Ferrari, was a distant fourth but his team had bigger problems: His teammate Charles Leclerc didn’t even finish.

Going to be a very long boring season as I expect Verstappen will continue to dominate.

[harrybarracuda]

Wasn't exactly a thriller.

Ferrari will be pissed off at an engine change in the very first race.

[VocalNeal]

Third was OK. The pink boys not so much. I'm still mulling my shirt purchase. Got to wait for the Thai knock-off industry to catch up with the shirt design.
