P1 is at 8:00pm tonight, finally!! For reasons unknown, I am more excited about this season than any in a long time. By the time they get to Spain, though, Mercedes will have killed my enthusiasm for a competitive season. At least the first few weeks will be interesting.

Hoping for:
Red Bull to kick Ferarri from 2nd place
Renault to show big progress
Alonso to have a good final season (not likely, though)
Liberty Media to quit NBA'ing Formula 1

I think it's debatable whether the halo would have helped in any of those incidents

de Villota drover under the back of a truck at 40mph. It definitely would have saved her life.

Sirotkin hitting the pit wall 10 mins into the session was funny. I love the contempt from the announcers about the halo, Crofty not holding back much.

More of the same for Mercs, Maranello and Bulls, definite improvement for McLaren and Renault. Wait and see for Haas. Bottas error could be first step this season to losing that seat

Per usual Lewis is in a league of his own .7 sec quicker

After Vettel's first lap, I had some hope but Lewis' lap was just ridiculous , as was Seb's haircut .

I like the Sky coverage. Paul Di Resta had some good insight during FP3. I think the Ferraris can keep up with Hamilton in race trim so hopefully they can get a good start tomorrow. Looks like weather may be a factor also. Never count out Max if it rains.

Most of the graphics and animations were great, some other things still need to be worked out. It looked SO promising after the first hot laps in Q3 with Hamilton, Vettel and Verstappen all within 0.1s of each other. Lets hope for good race pace from the top 3. Haas looking strong right now as #4.

I think the graphics come from the F1 feed.

I forgot to mention that. Haas looking like the early leader for "best of the rest" title. I hope their race pace is on par with quali.
