F1 2023 (Sponsored by Ferrari strategists)

[John Arne]

That didn't look like a little too fast, it looked way too fast.

[7om]

Now someone punt Max into the ocean and this weekend might actually be fun.

[Waffdon]

If this Q1 is anything to go by, P3 could be special

The onboard camera watching these cars going full throttle at this track is properly insane. The drivers really are something else

[Disco]

Monaco qualy is great but it would be even better if they got rid of traffic, shame because nowhere is there a greater disparity between sessions as the race is always dull as shit.

[Waffdon]

Alonso :(

Verstappen really is the best of all time.

[Gray Fox]

If he doesn't get annoyed by the state of things and piss off, then he's going to be in that conversation by the time he retires.

[Waffdon]

I’m saying that, hopefully Alonso somehow gets away ahead of him at the start and plants his car in front of him for the rest of the race

[Shindig]

Even then, Red Bull are lightning at pit stops. I hold some hope he'll tag a wall.

[7om]

How far forward do you reckon Perez can get? I reckon P8 at best.

[Waffdon]

Be doing well to get to P10 unless he gets lucky with pit stops/safety cars.

[Disco]

Novelty for Perez, he can't lose any positions off the start line.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I know I'm not supposed to say these things but the black woman they have shoehorned into Sky F1 coverage is an absolute joke. Knows absolutely fuck all about the sport and talks as if she's a competition winner, which indeed she is.

[Giggles]

I cancelled Sky Sports off Now TV as this was the only thing I really watch now at this time of year since they lost the GAA. Had originally intended using the wife's email to pick up a new deal, but very little fomo about it at all today. Maybe it's just because it's Monaco.

[Adramelch]

It doesn't actually feel like it's worth the money to be honest.

[Waffdon]

20-30% chance of rain over the next hour or so

[Jimmy Floyd]

I actually prefer watching this race to the DRS slingshot derbies. Much more interesting driving. Call me a purist.

[Giggles]

Maybe it's just because of the drs slingshot derbies that have preceded this too.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Yeah. If nothing's going to happen I'd rather watch it around this circuit which, bless the old girl, still does find out the mediocre drivers (sorry Carlos).

[Shindig]

Radio 5's commentary's developed some gremlins so that's my entertainment. Nevermind, Chappers is on to cover for them. Bollocks.

[Waffdon]

That’s got to be a new record. Overtaken 3 different times in half a lap without any collisions involved

[Waffdon]

The back of the pack taking 6 seconds off Verstappen’s leads is beautiful

[Gray Fox]

I know I'm not supposed to say these things but the black woman they have shoehorned into Sky F1 coverage is an absolute joke. Knows absolutely fuck all about the sport and talks as if she's a competition winner, which indeed she is.

Naomi Schiff?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Perez trying to teleport through backmarkers once a lap, time for a black flag.

[Adramelch]

Perez has been so unlikeable recently I have to say. Whining all the time, everything's someone else's fault.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Are the top five just praying for rain or what? Somehow this place has delivered a fairly interesting race after the last few horror shows.

[Gray Fox]

Monaco really does tend to sort the guys who can drive and those that can't.

[7om]

This is actually really enjoyable despite the lack of overtakes. People taking nibbles and getting upset is proper interesting viewing.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Pissing down in Menton, blow across please. Or don't because Max will then definitely win, but I want to see Stroll in the wall where he belongs.

[Gray Fox]

You're never far away from seeing Strulovic put it into a wall.
Or someone else.

[Shindig]

This Aston Martin looks built enough to survive it.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Reckon it will piss down before the end.

[Gray Fox]

Who do we have in the wall first?

Strulovic or De Vries?

[Giggles]

Naomi Schiff?

Maybe she's being SHOVED DOWN HIS THROAT.

[Giggles]

Who's Strulovich?

[Shindig]

Here we fucking go. :drool:

[7om]

This could get spicy!

[Jimmy Floyd]

No way they're all staying out of the wall here on slicks.

[John Arne]

The director needs to calm down and stop switching so quickly.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Alonso's fucked it, awful decision.

[Shindig]

Even if it's going to pass, slicks won't clear any water.

[Waffdon]

Ffs Alonso

[Jimmy Floyd]

Alonso's fucked it, awful decision.

You'd have won it, Fernando! Stupid cunt.

[Adramelch]

Yeah horrendous decision that.

[Gray Fox]

Had Alonso fitted inters there he'd have won the race.


Who's Strulovich?

Lance Strulovic is his real name.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I want to see Stroll in the wall where he belongs.

Hooray!

[John Arne]

Stroll :face:

[Waffdon]

I honestly cannot believe they put mediums on. Ferrari would have been proud

[7om]

Stroll in the mud.

[Shindig]

K Mag needs to be careful someone walking could overtake him.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I visited Monaco last summer and walked the track, reckon I'd have made Q2 at least in these conditions.

[Waffdon]

This is some great viewing

[Gray Fox]

It's all gone off here.

Rain at Monaco really is the great equaliser.

[7om]

This is mad. They’re all over the place.

[Waffdon]

Yuki:lol:

[Gray Fox]

Does anyone dare try slicks again?

[Adramelch]

You'd have to be gaining significant time on them to justify the pit stop, given it's only 10 laps left. Maybe for fastest lap but that's about it.

[7om]

Aren’t the brakes a chronic problem at Alpha Tauri? I remember Gasly screaming about them constantly last season.

[7om]

Perez down 2 laps on Verstappen. Just give Max the title now.

[Giggles]

Had Alonso fitted inters there he'd have won the race.



Lance Strulovic is his real name.

You can get that right yet you still call most of the grid like they're your mates? :D

Why not 'Lance' then?

[Gray Fox]

Because he's basically Richie Rich and if rather see a better driver in his place.

Este Bestie on the podium is nice to see.

[Clunge]

That rain segment was thoroughly entertaining. Whatever they're building the Haas' out of now, every one needs a bit of it. Magnussen was in the wars from start to finish.

[Giggles]

Because he's basically Richie Rich and if rather see a better driver in his place.

Este Bestie on the podium is nice to see.

He’s a better driver than a lot of them. A bit aggressive yes but if someone like Alonso, sorry ‘Fernando’, drove like him everyone would have the cap burnt off themselves.

[Adramelch]

I do agree, but he's certainly not at a good enough level for Aston Martin this season, with the car they've produced.

[Giggles]

I do agree, but he's certainly not at a good enough level for Aston Martin this season, with the car they've produced.

He’s on a hiding to nothing here though regardless. He could be Senna, sorry ‘Ayrton’, and he still couldn’t do right because Daddy has money. Do they think all the other drivers have came up from the wilderness in rags to heroically drive a car? TTH at its finest.

[Waffdon]

They don’t come from rags to riches but they don’t have their dad in charge lol. He should be in a Williams or AT best

[7om]

He’s a better driver than a lot of them. A bit aggressive yes but if someone like Alonso, sorry ‘Fernando’, drove like him everyone would have the cap burnt off themselves.

Who is stroll better then?

Give up on the needless sniping.

[Giggles]

Who is stroll better then?

Give up on the needless sniping.

Sniping my bollocks, none of you like to hear it, even the steolivich stuff seems to be needless wankery. He's pulled out some decent stuff this year alone, there's definitely far worse drivers on the grid. At least a par with than Norris, sorry 'Lando', who's done fuck all and is basically a huge pile of piss and wind.

[Waffdon]

If anything this year has proven how bang average he is compared to others lol

[Disco]

Stroll is bang average and he's gotten there by having every opportunity he could possibly want with no risk of being replaced and no hint of criticism or reproach from the team when he fucks up. He's essentially as good as any random person would be given maximum backing and time, and even then he's nowhere near Alonso and still not really any better than maybe 18 of the other drivers on the grid.

[7om]

Sniping my bollocks, none of you like to hear it, even the steolivich stuff seems to be needless wankery. He's pulled out some decent stuff this year alone, there's definitely far worse drivers on the grid. At least a par with than Norris, sorry 'Lando', who's done fuck all and is basically a huge pile of piss and wind.

Nonsense.

Stroll has been outscored massively by his teammates every year since at least 2019. And if you look at 2020, where Racing Point and McLaren were very close cars in terms of performance, Norris outscored Stroll by 20 points.

[Shindig]

I think Stroll is okay but he's never going to learn how to stay out of trouble. In an ideal world, he'd have been out of that seat for someone with a bit more between the ears.

[Jimmy Floyd]

He's in the bottom four drivers on the grid along with Sargent, Zhou and De Vries.

[niko_cee]

Pat O'Ward leading the 500, to be cierto.

[SincereTheRebel]

Richie Rich will have a drive as long as his daddy is running the show.

[niko_cee]

Wait, there's someone legitimately called Sting Ray Robb?

[niko_cee]

lol at that pit release.

:D

[Disco]

Wait, there's someone legitimately called Sting Ray Robb?

Every ridiculous name exists in Ameri-sport.

[niko_cee]

Seems he's exactly 20 years younger than me so sad to see him crash out.

[niko_cee]

Holy shit a tyre just looked like it went massively into the crowd.

[niko_cee]

Somehow it managed to clear the grandstand. Would surely have killed multiple people had it hit into the stand, must weigh what, 20kg, and be going at 150mph?

[7om]

Holy shit a tyre just looked like it went massively into the crowd.

1662900354478907392

[Shindig]

Lucky it didn't take a windshield out.

[Disco]

Ericsson, Daly, and Ferrucci all inside the top 10, absolutely rancid.

[niko_cee]

Pat O'No.

[niko_cee]

Do they race these pieces of shit around actual circuits as well? Surely no race ever finishes.

[Disco]

'Road' circuits? Laguna Seca and Road America are the only half decent ones, most of the rest are street circuits (yuk) where you watch Romain Grosjean drive into a wall for an hour and half and whoever pitted nearest the last caution gets to win.

[Shindig]

Infineon and Watkins Glen are alright.

[Disco]

I didn't think they went to Watkins Glen, and what on earth is an Infineon?

[Shindig]

Sonoma Raceway. It err... was in Gran Turismo 4. Possibly one of the Forza Motorsports.

[Disco]

Oh it's Sonoma, that's good apart from the silly middle sector.

[Adramelch]

I only just realised De Vries is 28. I thought he'd be like 23 or so.

[7om]

Geezer spent a few years in F2 before he won it then a couple of years in Formula E.

[Waffdon]

Verstappen is going to lap everyone this weekend. :lol:

[Ben]

I'm not sure how much to read into this considering Nyck de Vries was 4th overall.

[Disco]

I'm not sure how much to read into this considering Nyck de Vries was 4th overall.

This is the correct approach.


Verstappen is going to lap everyone this weekend. :lol:

But this is also almost certainly the case.

[Gray Fox]

Poor Nyck is getting back from the summer break to find the door to Alpha Tauri won't accept his card.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Perez and Leclerc are struggling.

[Waffdon]

Leclrec saving Perez from an absolutely embarrassment there.

Merc look alright based on that. Hopefully they surprise us here but doubtful

[Waffdon]

Hamilton might have proper pace here now. Only 0.2 off after setting fastest Sector 1 before having to abandoning it. Mon, give us something

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

George clipping Lewis :lol:

[Waffdon]

George Russell has history of being a mong. What an idiot.

Perez, Leclerc and Russell all out before Q3 was not was I expected

[Clunge]

Bizarre qualifying this.

[Gray Fox]

Tory George with a bad showing but not near as bad as Checo.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lando :cool:

[Gray Fox]

Strange to see talentless Lando in 3rd in a shit car.
Something must be wrong.

[Disco]

What a weird session.

[Waffdon]

Norris is just properly good. Can’t wait until he finally gets his 1st win.

Gonna presume Russell has fucked Hamilton over there as that seemed an awful last lap.

[Gray Fox]

It seemed Lewis had been doing a warm up lap after out lap before his flier. Didn't seem to do that at the end and his tyres died in the 3rd sector.

[thommo]

Gonna presume Russell has fucked Hamilton over there as that seemed an awful last lap.

Russell clipped Hamilton in Q2, they'd replaced the front wing for Q3. Just a bad lap it seems.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Google saying 83% chance of rain :drool:

Open the clouds.

[Gray Fox]

Some on and off rain here would be glorious.

[Adramelch]

Yeah not a fun of just permanent rain. Something akin to Monaco makes it more exciting.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lando :(

Also Sainz needed some balls.

[Disco]

Russell literally and figuratively in the weeds this weekend.

[Disco]

Lando :(

Also Sainz needed some balls.

Not in a thousand years was Verstappen letting that move work.

[Gray Fox]

Mercedes looking like best of the rest in terms of race pace.

[Pleb]

Discord is hating this race :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lewis and George are making some nice moves.

[Waffdon]

Red Bull engine failure is needed here. Would be a quality race other wise

[Adramelch]

That the Mercs have the pace they do nowadays shows how massive a fuckup the whole no sidepod thing was. Early reaction of course, but still.

[John Arne]

1665351853159096320

[Waffdon]

Safety car with 15-20 laps to go would be nice. Just to see how Hamilton does up against Red Bull assuming it’s them two starting at the front

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

George sweating like a pig.

[Adramelch]

Didn't Sainz change his line a few too many times there?

[Gray Fox]

This could just be cooler conditions favouring the Mercedes best, or the upgrades working as intended.

They're far clear in 2nd place though.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Team player Alonso strikes again.

[Waffdon]

Verstappen casually setting the fastest lap on Hard by nearly a second :lol:

[Disco]

He sounds about as awake as Taki Inoue.

[7om]

Heaven knows we need Merc to keep finding more time. Max looks and sounds thoroughly bored.

[Gray Fox]

Heaven knows we need Merc to keep finding more time. Max looks and sounds thoroughly bored.

The Mercedes problem with zero sidepod design was they didn't understand why certain things did and didn't work after a year of trying to fix it.

This change has the more potential time to find, but only if they know why they're now a bit faster. The good news for them is that they seem to, as overnight they seemed to have cracked something in the data/simulator.

Canada should be similar conditions to we've seen this weekend. A bit cooler and maybe a little moisture in the air.

The possible disaster here is they've just got lucky with something. However Tory George starting behind Checo and finishing ahead of him comfortably, with a race without a single yellow flag or SC, at a track that suits the Red Bull car, suggests not so much. Or that Perez is very shite.

[niko_cee]

Weren't Merc pretty good here with the shitpods last year though?

And obviously Perez is fairly meh as a driver. He's not shite, but he's limited, mainly to being an excellent rear-gunner/roadblock.

[Gray Fox]

By the end of the year they were at the same spot they occupied in this Spanish GP. There to mop up the points in 2nd/3rd. No real chance of taking a win unless shenanigans happens.

However as we've seen, that's because Red Bull was working on the beast they have now.

[John Arne]

Just watched the "highlights". I reckon all but one of the overtakes was DRS on the straight.

Glad I turned off pretty early on.

[Adramelch]

That's already one more than most races in fairness.

[John Arne]

:d

1665641863905148929

[7om]

Tsunoda got absolutely shafted with that penalty yesterday. Disgusting decision.

[Clunge]

Yup, made absolutely no sense at all. I hope they appeal. Tsunoda's having a great season, tbh. He's wringing that car for all its worth.

[niko_cee]

If they have to abandon the Canadian grand prix because of the smoke they may as well can the season, give Red Bull all the trophies and accept that god isn't keen on F1 this year.

[Gray Fox]

"Not at risk" apparently.

Should in theory be quite similar to how Spain unfolded as it'll be similar temperatures and a not too dissimilar track type. If we've now got a "Max wins but Mercedes can actually compete with Sergio for 2nd/3rd" then I'm not too unhappy.

It took us until more than halfway through last season to get to that point. I think it was France onwards that Sergio let all hope of the title slip. It's also been a while since "Look I'm really not French guys" punted himself into a wall or someone else too, so I'll pencil him in for a lap 37 trip into the wall of champions.

[Shindig]

It's Le Mans weekend and a NASCAR entry is running for the first time since 1976. Looks much faster than I expected it to be. I know they have great top speed but it's carrying it through the corners alright.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMQaqkW0iuE

[niko_cee]

Is there some sort of Ferrari running in one of the prototype classes?

That's quite unusual, no?

[Shindig]

Very. They usually stick with the GTs but the new Hypercar rules (it's no longer LMP1 as the top class) has brought a few more manufacturers to the party.

[niko_cee]

Some cool looking cars and perhaps not a Toyota procession.

[Gray Fox]

Immediate red flag in FP1 for Gasly stopping on track. We've been waiting for over 10 mins since and the car is well clear yet no running.

More annoying that this though is that it seems as though he can rejoin the session, which I don't think he should be able to do.

[Gray Fox]

The red flag still going is because the circuits CCTV cameras are down...

[Shindig]

No better time for a madman to run on the track.

[Gray Fox]

So we've had maybe 4 laps in FP1 and now we're doing a nature documentary.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Red flags all over the shop.

[Waffdon]

Looks like we’ll get a wet qualifying. Probably would have preferred the race itself to have rain but should mean another good quali

[Gray Fox]

If it's a washed out day today Mercedes could have done well. They got the most race pace running in while there weren't many red flags during the start of FP2. All other teams did the qualy pace runs first.

Aston also didn't get a good chance to test out their upgrades. I suspect we have a 5 way battle for 2nd after Max wins by 30+ seconds.

[Shindig]

I wondered where Jack Nicholls had went from the BBC coverage. Turns out he's a bit gropey.

[niko_cee]

Is there actually a chance of qualifying being washed out?

[Gray Fox]

Is there actually a chance of qualifying being washed out?

Right now it's between inters and full wets. Though more rain is expected to fall.

If it's dry tomorrow it's going to be a fully green track.

[Gray Fox]

Damp with possible rain throughout the session. Bring the chaos and not the red flags.

[Gray Fox]

They really need to stop throwing a red flag for every little thing.
It'd be amazing if it chucked it down hard now.

[Gray Fox]

This has been great.

Charles is going to end up punting someone in the garage. Checo continues to be fucking useless and you get what you get from Strulovitch.

[Disco]

I'd happily do away with all penalties for impeding just to get rid of the endless chatter of who was in the way of who.

[Waffdon]

Verstappen is just so far clear

[Gray Fox]

This looks like a Hulkenberg front row.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Checo surely is losing his seat.

[Disco]

For who?

[Gray Fox]

Liam Lawson.

[phonics]

I’m sure Red Bull and Horner are devestated that they’re leading by a country mile and Verstappen looks ten times better than the only guy that can compete with him who no matter the result will be a massive advertising draw in Latin America.

[Clunge]

Hulk must have got his lap in about a tenth of a second before the red flag was thrown. Insanity no team gambled harder on the first run in Q3. They should all have been at the end of the pitlane with 4/5 mins to go to ensure Verstappen wasn't first out. With the RB so far ahead, a collective bit of gamesmanship was everyone's best hope there.

[7om]

Liam Lawson.

Surely Teunoda would be more deserving of the RB seat and Lawson to AT. If it even happens as Perez is contracted to 2024 I believe.

[niko_cee]

Perez may not be there to win races [obviously] but he probably needs to start being a little less shite.

As soon as the rain came down the order quickly settled on Verstappen/Alonso/Hamilton, which shows you where the class of the field is. Blinding effort by Hulk to crash the party.

[Disco]

They have no-one within their system who would do a better job and even Red Bull have learned that they get nothing out of throwing their young drivers straight into the wood chipper that is that second seat. Perez, terrible though he is, will simply put up with whatever treatment he gets because what's he going to do about it, leave?

[Gray Fox]

No I think Perez was just a happy circumstance. They had nobody they really wanted to put in that seat and the good PR move was to save Checos career and give him the seat.

Yuki is doing well but is quite hot headed, which you dont really want up against another hot head. I think if anything, we see De Vries booted and Lawson installed there first. Perez will survive the season.

[phonics]

Also as noted by the Gasly experience, Max likes his car setup in a completely different way to how your typical driver would want it. Therefore the car will then be built towards that which means when it goes wrong it’ll go badly wrong.

[Gray Fox]

Hulkenberg summoned for going too fast under the red flag.

Don't you dare give him a grid drop.

[Waffdon]

Can’t believe Sainz only got a 3 place grid penalty. Twice he tried his best to fuck someone over

[Pepe]

As shit as Perez might have been lately, he is still second in the standings. What else do you need?

[Waffdon]

He does have the best car by a mile

[Pepe]

Let's say they get a better driver. What would they get out of him? Can't do better than second.

[SincereTheRebel]

Sainz and his red car, on multiple occasions just chilling in the chicane like he just woke from a siesta.

Hulk with a three place penalty confirmed.

[Ben]

Sainz and Hulk getting equal penalties is ridiculous.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Ferrari never get bad penalties, we should all have learned this by now.

[niko_cee]

Being Ferrari is penalty enough.

Sainz in the last corner when he had cars scorching past him left and right was hilarious.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I'd have that as bad enough to warrant a race ban. Not sure if I'm miles out but surely it's a serious safety issue in that part of the circuit especially.

[Clunge]

He did it a load in FP3 too. And there were several instances in qualifying too.

Another race whether someone, anyone, needs to pip Verstappen off the line for the sake of there being a race.

[John Arne]

Just watched quali highlights.. Sainz deserves a race ban for his antics. Twice slow on the chicane... What a div.

[Disco]

Haas screwed out of a front row start again.

[SincereTheRebel]

Its the ferrari and their radio comms.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Hamilton pissed all over Alonso at the start.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Russell twatting it into walls again, what a pillock.

Very unsafe release on Hamilton as well. Great job Merc.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The Tory boy is fucked.

[Disco]

Alonso sawing away at the wheel the little drama queen.

[SincereTheRebel]

Alonso sawing away at the wheel the little drama queen.

I saw it. Would that be considered as a F1 version of a football dive?

[Gray Fox]

More like gesturing to the ref for a yellow card.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Ferrari are a fucking mess.

'Switch strategy, Carlos.'
'No mate.'
'Alright, whatever you say.'

[Shindig]

Good man. If it's a mistake, that's on him.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Switching over to the golf now for a more high-octane viewing experience.

[Ben]

They set a good base with the regulation changes last year but the tweaks this time around have completely killed it. Absolutely no action top to bottom.

[thommo]

I enjoyed today's race but that's mainly because of Alex Albon pulling off an incredible defensive drive. P7 :cool:

[niko_cee]

It seems mad to me that Verstappen has won 40% of Red Bull's 100 race wins as a constructor. I guess it's testament to the bloated schedule as much as anything. Vettel got 38 for them in his era of total dominance. :cab:

[Jimmy Floyd]

From memory I think two of Seb's four were reasonably close, and even in the truly dominant seasons you'd have the odd place that suited other cars. This year the RBR/Max combo is utterly supreme regardless of conditions or venue. He cruises through all these managing his tyres.

[Gray Fox]

Yeah 2010 was the one with a potential 4 possible champions on the final race weekend. That one should have been Alonso with his 3rd title, but he just couldn't get by Petrov.

Then you had Seb dominance for a year, then another year where Fernando should have won the title and then his 4th was dominance again. Back then you always had Lewis sneaking in a win and maybe the odd bit of unreliability causing another, but not now.

[Disco]

https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/bird-was-entangled-in-verstappens-f1-car-for-canadian-gp/10485096/

Like father like son.

[Gray Fox]

So many laps being deleted here. Someone is going to go from in to out after the session finishes.

[niko_cee]

Always feels like one of the worst tracks on the calendar so not sure if this track limits stuff makes much difference. It doesn't look like a track that can actually take these cars.

[Gray Fox]

Perez it is. Not able to put a legal time in with about 4 attempts. Get him in the bin.

[Shindig]

What's the difference between sprints and sprint shootouts again?

[Gray Fox]

The qualy session we just had was for Sundays race.

However in previous years, it set the grid for the Sprint, the sprint then set the grid for the race. This created confusion over who should be awarded pole, should the guy who qualified 1st not finish the Sprint race in 1st.

This avoids that by having SPRINT SHOOTOUT be essentially another qualy session but to set the grid for the Sprint race.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It will all be Max anyway.

[Shindig]

Oh. That's not a great way to solve a problem but there you go.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lot of times DELETED again today.

[niko_cee]

They should do the same thing in the race and delete laps (ie you are then a lap down/have to do another one) rather than the almost nothing they currently do with their black and white flags.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That was some effort by Sainz.

[Gray Fox]

Young lad called Dilano Van t'Hoff killed at Spa today. Only 18 as well.

Very similar crash to the one that claimed Hubert.

[Shindig]

I'd argue this one is worse because of the spray being kicked up. You can't see owt through that.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Bottas going on mediums in the rain :cool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Some tasty Red Bull racing lol.

[Gray Fox]

Max with the full fuck you onto the grass you go.

[niko_cee]

Lol at that pass by Verstappen and the commentary line that it wasn't intentional.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Track looks almost bone dry but the pits are still sodden.

Hulk was sliding all over the shop.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The Hamilton, Piastri, Albon and Leclerc fight has been good.

[Waffdon]

Huge fan of Russell always taking risks with tyres.

[Clunge]

New Button but sans good lad charm.

[niko_cee]

Pere with some full on cuck comments after the race.

"Once I realised he was there I opened the door and gave back the place."

You were in the lead mate.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He's absolutely spineless.

Should have been on the radio calling Max a cunt for the turn 3 but instead just meekly asked what Max was doing.

[Adramelch]

I have to say that Leclerc, for all his whining about the car and the strategy and all that, has been genuinely bad all season.

[Disco]

I never liked the idea of sprint races but now they've de-coupled them entirely from the rest of the weekend they're especially pointless.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Leclerc should have done the honourable thing and taken out Max.

[Disco]

I try to be understanding of things that are done for safety but a full safety car for a bit of gravel is clearly my limit, get a broom out you fannies.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Wasn't just the gravel, Yuki's front wing got smashed to bits at turn one because he went for a risky move.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lando snitching on Hamilton is glorious.

Snitching :drool:

[SincereTheRebel]

They should do the same thing in the race and delete laps (ie you are then a lap down/have to do another one) rather than the almost nothing they currently do with their black and white flags.

....

[Waffdon]

Some effort to get a 4 track limits at this point already lol

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Hamilton is fucked though with that black and white so early.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ferrari's fucked that up.

[Waffdon]

Ferrari's fucked that up.

Not really. They look rapid on this set. Leclerc should be at least 6/7 seconds ahead by time Verstappen pits

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

At this rate I'll be shown a black and white flag in a few minutes.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

All this snitching :drool:

[Disco]

All this snitching :drool:

It's embarrassing, teams worth a billion quid each and they can't put a few sensors in to police track limits. You get that at a track day.

[Gray Fox]

Lando could well have P4 locked in here.

[SincereTheRebel]

More penalties than a AFCON final.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Love that Toto basically told Hamilton to shut the fuck up there.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Max boxing to go for the fastest lap is bonkers.

[Disco]

Took it off his team mate too, fuck you Sergio.

Lol

[Shindig]

Bloody hell. :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Take it away from Max :drool:

[Clunge]

So there are 20 drivers driving 71 laps of a 10-corner circuit. So I make that 14,200 potential breaches of track limits throughout the entire race, so that means 8.5% of all completed corners were done so in breach of track limits. But it's probs skewed heavily towards T9 and T10 so the rate for those two corners alone is probably 15-20% for the entire race. Bonkers. Good luck going over each and every one of those :D.

[Jimmy Floyd]

What a farce.

[Shindig]

Some quick napkin maths has it just down as one offence each lap for every driver.

[Pepe]

:harold:

Should install some of these next time and call it a day:

This is what you invite when you state the white lines will be strictly enforced.

[Shindig]

The original sausage kerbs. :cool:

[Disco]

83 laps deleted, was there even a grand prix?

Checo getting no penalty is madness.
