@pqtdc Honestly this is kinda hard haha. Don't think I've ever shouted at the TV more than during this first lap!
Obviously Abu Dhabi would've been historic and incredible, but I do still get goosebumps watching this first lap back

@Rodolfoar07 Do you think a long enough clear window for a dry f1 race?

[Elliot @EMS_Productions]

@pqtdc Yeah I feel like this is gonna be a classic 'spends all week talking about a wet race' then the 90 mins of the race is bone dry lol

[Elliot @EMS_Productions]

@Rodolfoar07 Do you think if they brought the race forward to 12pm, we'd still see a wet race, just actually drivable? Or a dry race?

[Elliot @EMS_Productions]

@TheCyberdevil Sweet! Mine should be turning up later too. Is there any special features that are exclusive to the release? Or is it all just content that's already on YouTube?

[Elliot @EMS_Productions]

@pqtdc It's a tiny thing but late ITV/BBC were the absolute peak of f1 edits/intros/montages. Everything sky does is so underwhelming in comparison. Also just feel really nostalgic for those old ones now too haha

[Elliot @EMS_Productions]

@pqtdc This is the thing! I have watched every single race since 07 with him, I know we haven't got long left and so I should just appreciate these final seasons, but I want him to win so bad!

[Elliot @EMS_Productions]

@pqtdc Very true! The hopium will kick in until we get to Melbourne and Ferrari is 1.5 seconds off and Lewis is 0.4 behind Charles 🙃😂

[Elliot @EMS_Productions]

@pqtdc Had a lot of optimism at the time, but definitely starting to feel like that now.

And just kinda annoying that his last official win isn't even a race where he got to stand on the top step 😂

[Elliot @EMS_Productions]

@F1LasVegas Bit dramatic. Maybe a 6/10, it was pretty damn average

[Elliot @EMS_Productions]

@FormulaUR_ @GREEKMASTER99 This is fascinating, and something I really wish was talked about more. I think the number of Q2/Q1 elimination over the last couple of years reinforces the point.

As the field had closed up, it feels like his poor execution has just been exposed more and more.

[Elliot @EMS_Productions]

@pqtdc Depressing but true, and I expect Lewis won't put up much of a fight too. Can see Lewis spending most of this race stuck in DRS trains, P8 or P9 most likely

[Elliot @EMS_Productions]

@Scuderiascoop Think it's gone under the radar as its a very private test. No TV coverage of any sort, no media allowed on site. So all we are gonna get from that week of testing is whispers and rumours

[Elliot @EMS_Productions]

@f1forfunatics @Nkprivv0 The funny thing is Lewis literally did have more fuel than Alonso and pitted a lap after him...

[Elliot @EMS_Productions]

@birdviper @Nkprivv0 Yes you're correct. And the funny thing is, in this first stint in Melbourne Lewis had *more* fuel in the car than Alonso...

[Elliot @EMS_Productions]

@f1statsguru Well it was until they took out a bunch of corners. That race length is irrelevant now, it'll barely be 1hr 40m this year.

I've been looking through the telemetry for other drivers during the reconnaissance laps. Tsunoda went through the double yellow zone 3kph faster than Hamilton. Why no penalty?
