HAM vs VES please.
Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

I would love to see that as well. It's going to be a repeat of HAM vs MAS with constant crashing into each other due to VES overagressive moves und braking and divebombing which HAM can not let happen constantly.

That will be very entertaining :)

Hamilton on pole by over 1 second (to another manufacturer I mean).

Then at the next race Mercedes are asked to turn the engine down and try make a show of the season.

Is it possible to include a chart with the number of parts are available per car at each new race? Like turbo, PU, K or H etc.

Is it possible to also add how much mileage a PU has done at previous races? A basic no. of laps times circuit length should be fine.

I know it would become more difficult to guess when a PU is changed during a race weekend

Always find the gap then use it.

If the gap was that clear, I suspect Merc would turn it down themselves. As long as they finish 1-2 the gap is not relevant, engine life is though.
When arguing with a fool, be sure the other person is not doing the same thing.

The Mercedes isn't that far ahead. Melbourne will be close.

The season will be close. The winners will be those who keep their heads in a good place and their engines in one piece. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a "dark horse" title winner. Imagine Seb, Lewis and Max fighting it out all year but Daniel sneaks the win because the others are constantly tripping over each other. Kimi did it in 2007 when the McLarens were fighting each other.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Interesting Ferrari going with harder tires and Merc with softer tires. Last year they were the other way around most of the time.

The only ones with 3 sets of soft tyres alongside Leclerc, that´s very interesting and unexpected.

Maybe Ferrari will be trying Q2 on reds and one stop for the yellows.

Pretty aggressive from Merc to only have one set of softs for Hamilton.
