Those emergency ponchos will be in good use this weekend at the 2025 F1 season-opener in Melbourne!

    Technical track with close walls in some areas? Check.

    Several rookies first F1 race? Check.

    High likelihood of rain? Check.

    This should be fun.

      Looks like 9 DNFs in 2010 is the highest we’ve seen in Australia, maybe we can break the record this time.

        Well stroll is definitely good for taking himself and at least two others out. Let’s say each rookie decides to take a trip across the grass. That gets us to 7… Who else is likely to crash?

          I’m willing to bet $20 on Hamilton going out cuz “This car’s really screwed up mate” while Charles drives it just fine with no complaints and makes it to the podium.

            Not a Hamilton fan haha.

            I don’t like ocon so let’s say he also crashes. That gets us to 9. Who is the last guy to screw up?
