Magnussen went fastest today in testing. Nice to see him back.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Horner now saying he never said the car was illegal.
Drive to Survive is out today, just finished the third episode. It's worth viewing and will no doubt reignite some boring and old arguments from last season.
I’m new to F1 and drive to survive is one of the main reasons why. What are the old F1 fans opinions on it? Like or dislike (I think I know the answer)
I like it a lot. It's a great way to expose new people to the sport and it gives the people who already love it a glimpse at the background politics and goings on we don't see just following the races.
Just shows how much sandbagging is going on
I love it because it got you interested and also I love drama even if it's forced
I normally enjoy it.
But really can't be bothered revisiting last seasons clusterfeck in drive to survive. Last season is tainted.
Too much focus on Dannyric, not sure why maybe he is the only one that welcomes it?
It does tend to miss some of the key narratives of the seasons I've found, sensationalist in places, but a good gateway series for new fans.
Cant believe they just glossed over the Monza crash.
Mazepin: In Rusdia clouds are different.
Yuki is the standout star! Can't tell if he's a dick or just has great humour. Seems very immature though.
A bit unfiltered.
Watching the first episode, Horner praising Lewis as one of the all time greats at different points last season and then we see private footage of him saying 'I wish he'd shut the feck up, how many times do we have to sit and watch this shit'. Bitter old man.
Obviously Mercedes and Lewis are under his skin.
woah woah spoilers wtf guys
All he ever does is talk about Mercedes and find some way to get a sly dig in, he's unable to be genuinely gracious.
What was Horner referring to? Anything in particular?
He's a genuinely odious person with such a punchable face.
When Horner and Geri were riding on horses in the 1st episode the cameraman definitely followed behind the wrong horse for the close-up shots.

This is also me. Didn’t think I’d be the only one.
Hamilton just talking to the press about feeling good.
I just watched the final episode and I’m extremely salty again
I skipped to the last ep, actually thought they did a good job covering Abu Dhabi.
This has been a tough week for Mazepin. Lost his ride, daddy warbucks is on the outs, and now Drive To Survive comes out detailing his horrific season.
Surely, FIA can't expect to carry into the season with that. They will kill the drivers by the time we reach a quarter or a third of the season done.
Interesting the opinuin below is that ferrari is 0.125 seconds a lap quicker than Mercedes and RedBull are up there as well.

I like it. I only started watching Drive to Survive recently, but been following F1 for a while (Minus the Mercedes era). It accomplishes what it sets out to do. To create intrigue for newcomers, to reignite some memories for fans and has a decent level of drama to hook casual F1 viewers.
No better example of selective editing to add intrigue than what drive to survive did with Leclercs Monaco retirement. Making it look like a deus ex machina drama rather than a predictable outcome after his qualy mistake and Ferrari’s gamble.
Dislike but only watched a couple episodes of the first season. Just seemed a bit fake really, and a bit boring if you watched the season unfold. That said I don't think it's a bad thing if it's bringing in more fans.
Still, putting it on free to air TV would probably bring a hell of a lot more.
Shame about Red Bull's livery, I think their car would look really cool with the new upgrades.
Las Vegas Grand Prix is expected to be announced in the coming days.
Replacement for Russia?
There is nothing boring about the truth and what is right.
The problem with Maimi and Vegas is that the respective track will look like a parking lot, flat. Paul Ricard is bad enough with those wavey lines.
He was also detailed as a massive whining cnut.
Too soon I think for it I think, however nothing surprises me with Vegas.
That wasn’t my point.
Drive to survive doesn’t do any favours for changing the opinion that Mazepin isn’t a particularly nice person.
Hamilton quoted as saying Mercedes arent in a position to win any of the early races, alot of work to do on the car. Not like Bahrain last year where they turned it around in the race.
