Something I've wondered with the new cars this year would be what would happen if the FIA just threw out the rule book and said 'build what you want.'

Bring back the advanced traction control, the Williams active suspension, the V-8's or V-10's and max the boost out, the water cooled brakes, re-map the engines so that they make the maximum amount of power but can still theoretically complete a full race.

I wonder how fast they could hustle if the teams were allowed to do whatever the hell the wanted.  Not just one individual lap time, but race average. 

Would we see speeds 20MPH faster?  30?  More?

Red bull already did that with Gran Turismo, the Red Bull X2010, x2011, and x2014. Look like this, can do over 320 mph and it can lap the nurburgring in the 3:30's.

Sorry but those pants are ugly and have to go. It's called "open wheel" racing for a reason.

I hate to say it, but I think the Ferrari hype is just marketing.

The sport needs a competitive Ferrari to get people excited. Liberty Media knows and understands this and has every reason to exploit it. America is Ferrari's biggest market, Liberty Media wishes to expand the sport in America, I would pump as much hype as I could into them as I could if I were calling the shots. Sure they look good in testing, but I remember 2016 winter testing and how good they looked then. Yes they should have won Melbourne and Canada, but they didn't and they faded. I think we'll see a stronger start, but if they don't win by Spain they may go another year without a victory. They have to rack up some early victories because they will lose the development race this year. James Allison is at Mercedes right now knowing every card in the Ferrari deck.

I hope I'm dead wrong, but something doesn't add up to me.

But Saturday these are all just stupid words and someone will have pole! Damn I'm excited!

No doubt in my mind that Riccardo will be a world champion.

Fun fact: No Australian has ever been on the podium in Australia

Not that it relates to this season, but I scored this on eBay recently....A 1991 program with the signatures of Juan Manuel Fangio and Ferrari's first F1 winner Jose Gonzalez.

Cool. Don't forget in F1 you don't get points for completing 1/3rd or 2/3rds of a race. You actually have to finish to score points.

Give yourself a season or two at least to learn what drivers to hate.

Hopefully, this season will be competitive.

I think Ferrari will win 3 races, Hamilton will win 14 and Bottas will win 3. Hope I'm wrong...

Hey, most of the Grand Prix's are run when I am at work at night. And I don't have cable (at least not yet I will if I have to) so I cant dvr them.
Where can I get a full rebroadcast of the races in English online? Is there such a place?

Everyone underestimates Red Bull in testing, but they always out perform expectations. I agree they will probably be faster than Ferrari.

I use NBC live extra for watching the races online, but I get it because I have cable. You might be able to sign up and pay for it even though you don't have cable.

Welcome aboard!!! I still love Formula One, but I don't think it'll ever be the same as when they were running 8+ cylinders. Man they sounded SO amazing. Pure sex.

But I just got into Superboat racing this year and WOW... when I want all-out BADASS I'll watch those on my DVR. My favorite three forms of motorsport are now Superboat, Reno Air Race, and F1 (in that order). If F1 engines still turned 18-20K rpm with 8 or more pistons... that list might be different.

No points for pole, fast lap, only the first ten finishers. 25, 18, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1 points per race. Qualifying is three parts with fewer cars each session. 20 cars this year, 5 out, 5, out and then a last session on a spec set of tires that get turned in after qualifying.

The pole position is generally set in the last 30 seconds of the last session, being last over the line can be critical. As long as your are on a hot lap when the session ends the lap counts. Ideally, you cross the line at the last second of the session. The pole can change several times in that last lap.

This is a good group, lots of info.  Welcome.

FYI: I think that you may need the app to watch it via NBC. I don't think you can just watch it off their website. If you have a smart TV you can watch it on there, or an iPad, smart phone or in my case I'm watching it on my Xbox One.
