The Sauber F1 Team has decided to replace Pascal Wehrlein for the Australian Grand Prix. Wehrlein does not feel fit enough for a complete race distance due to his training deficit. As of FP3, Antonio Giovinazzi will take over the Sauber C36-Ferrari for the rest of the Australian Grand Prix weekend.

Vettel just topped his 2011 lap time.
His steering input on that hot lap looked effortless. It looked good.

I'm confused, where's the speed? 4-5 seconds! pfft more like 4-5 10ths.
These cars are like Amy Schumer, in certain lighting and angles they look sexy as hell. But in reality, they're fucking gross.

At what lighting and angles does Schumer look sexy? That's gotta be a straight up lie.

Also some pony tailed fuckwit in the Heineken marketing dept really screwed up with the JYS ad.
It doesn't come off as a responsible driving ad, more that wee Jackie just really fucking hates Heineken. Even free, he won't touch that shit lol

That was based off their 2015 lap times when they came up with the rules. The 2017 pole time is 4.2 seconds faster than 2015.
