I would tend to agree with you if the problem was lack of speed but RBR has a total lack of reliability. They haven't done one race distance yet (not even close) while MBZ and Ferrari have from the first test forward. That is a huge deficit to overcome.

You know things are bad when RB & Lotus are just hoping to finish the race let alone be competitive in Australia

This very well could be a repost, but damn this interactive footage of the Mercedes going around Silverstone is cool.

How many cars will finish the race on Sunday? Nobody even wants to practice because they're afraid the cars will break.

I'm curious about the power unit limit, since they are limited to 5 what happens if a team blows all 5 up? Start from the pits every race?

Thanks. Unfortunately I have two dogs (corgis) who will absolutely infect it with fur.. It's staying in the closet except for race days!

The hat is made of really nice materials, the black has a faux carbon fiber look/feel to it.

Hope the seemingly high number of reliability issues won't get in the way of a good race.

I'm tempted to pick up a shirt or something. The gray-black theme is pretty cool.


On the other hand, I keep telling myself to hold off this year, and wait for the McLaren-Honda goodies next year.

I'm glad they took all the orange off from last year. I was after a JB hat, but they were so bad I held out.

Mine is a JB hat without orange.

Look on Amazon, they have the new ones!
