I’m waiting for Kubica in the Williams.

Well it’s going to be a lot longer, Williams is skipping the first day.

More visor cams! Less 360 cams!

You and me both. Williams also needs to get their merchandise game going. I need me some new Kubica swag. I’ve got my BMW Sauber RK hat in the car, but it’s a decade old now.

Yeah, I know. I see them as the biggest question mark.  I’m not expecting anything else surprising and they could be just as awful as last year but I really want them to have gotten something right.

I have to say, for  as cheesy as their car looks, the team gear they showed the boys in looked fantastic.

I’m just as excited to see Russell as I am Kubica. Anyone but Stroll really... 

Biggest question mark for me is Red Bull. Will a Honda powered car get it’s first win or even podium of this engine formula in 2019? I suppose y ou have to think yes if they did it with Tag Heuer .

I think they’ll be fast enough to at least podium  but unreliable. So...same old story :) I also think there’s a possibility of them losing third in the constructors to Renault or Haas if Grosjean or Hulk can get their shit together.

Testing should give us some clues on their reliability. I can’t freaking wait.

I think you’re right , H aas was even faster than Red Bull at Australia last year until disaster struck...

Si denote, V erstappen spinning in turn 1 while trying to catch Magnussen and then Ricciardio and RoGro slicing through is one of my favorite F1 moments.

Worse uh-oh is the insider account on Reddit (I know, I know, reliable source, etc., but...):

Overall morale in the team is “low af”. “We’re being worked like dogs, treated like shit, and HR is a fucking joke”

“We’re often wondering who’s in charge around here”

Seriously, who is in charge, Frank, Claire,  or someone else?

I’ve read speculations that they’re  even slower than last year. Like outside of the 107% rule slower. Anticipation is slowly turning to dread.

Yeah, things don’t look good. I’m going to start a WYTS for F1 this year, starting tomorrow
