F1 2024 - 24 Rounds of Street Circuit Thrillers

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

This could be interesting with Hamilton gambling.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Get in Lando.

[Waffdon]

McLaren not fancy a lando win?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He's still flying on the inters.

[niko_cee]

Stewards investigating Norris in case he comes out ahead.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Stewards investigating Norris in case he comes out ahead.

Already cleared.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fuck, I thought it was going to work.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Checo having another shocker.

[Waffdon]

What a race :drool:

[Gray Fox]

Perez/Red Bull need punishing big time for driving that car back with no rear wing.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What a race :drool:

Miles ahead of every other race thus far.

No matter what happens in the final few laps.

[Shindig]

Imagine a Ferrari getting lapped in 2024.

[Waffdon]

That sky looks dark as fuck.

Not sure Russell giving up a place was smart for these tyres

[SincereTheRebel]

I would have liked to see one the Mclaren pits. They are lighting on fresh rubber in these conditions.

[Adramelch]

Piastri got fucked by how slow Norris has been I feel like.

[niko_cee]

Merc looks dogshit under DRS.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fucking hell, George has had a nutty race today.

[Waffdon]

Piastri got fucked by how slow Norris has been I feel like.

Norris is so average at these restarts behind Verstappen.

Not sure why McLaren are so slow at the start of these stints

[Shindig]

Hammer ... time?

[niko_cee]

Norris is so average at these restarts behind Verstappen.


No one is in Verstappen's league at restarts.

Or perhaps more generally.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

George almost took out Hamilton now.

[Adramelch]

Ιn hindsight, they could have just kept Norris on the used inters and he'd most probably have won the race. But it would have been a tough call to make for sure.

[Waffdon]

50 wins in 75 for Verstappen. Greatest to ever do it

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That was a class race.

So much drama throughout.

[Gray Fox]

I'm very confident in Maxwinslol here.

But bring on the chaos.

Never in doubt.

[Pepe]

Good race but fuck that safety car.

[Pepe]

Meanwhile the safety-car-fest continues at Indy. Some of them seem to think that they are on touring cars.

[Clunge]

Russell made some really poor errors today. Probs didn't cost him the win, but may well have cost him second. Did well to fight back to third, but he's just not at the top table and won't ever be until he cuts out those mistakes.

[Adramelch]

It feels like he's a step below the drivers he's in direct competition within, if I'm honest. As if he hasn't grown from the driver he was 2-3 seasons ago.

[Pepe]

Still smacking Hamilton week after week.

[Adramelch]

Is that because Russell has been good or because Hamilton has been bad though?

[Ben]

Russell is very fast, at present he is quicker than Hamilton, either because Hamilton has lost a bit or the car suits Russell more. He just gets a bit reckless around other cars, which is why Hamilton still scorched him in the championship last year (and I reckon will still beat him again this year).

[Adramelch]

He's still driving as a 20-year old talented driver basically.

[thommo]

I'm enjoying the CultLH discourse on social media where they are screaming bloody murder that Mercedes are sabotaging Lewis. Lads, he announced he's leaving before the start of the season, no wonder they are focusing on George. Any upgrades or technical tweaks are bound to be based on what George prefers too.

[Gray Fox]

Russell has a few too many heads have gone moments. Had he some patience yesterday, 2nd place was easily his.

Funnily enough most of these kinds of moments for him seem to come when he has a chance of a win in sight and needs to hunt it down. How many times have we seen Max, or Lewis, or any other serial winner just close someone in and then glide past. He just seems too caught up in the mindset of having to get the move done immediately.

[Ben]

The Alpine stuff is great. Ocon throwing the team under the bus in the French media. 15 more races.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Surely they'll have to replace him before then. Is there a Hulkenberg type hanging around at races with their helmet in the car boot?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

[Pepe]

Lads, he announced he's leaving before the start of the season, no wonder they are focusing on George. Any upgrades or technical tweaks are bound to be based on what George prefers too.

There are people in Mexico who think that RB sabotages Perez. :harold:

[Jimmy Floyd]

I heard that they put beef chili in Perez's engine instead of fuel, because they are racist against Mexicans, and that's the only reason why he appears to be slower than Max.

[Adramelch]

@Mahow: They're the only team to have had both cars finish every race* so far. If this keeps up (it won't) they could genuinely be battling RB for the Constructors championship come the end of the season.

*Sprints don't matter, right?

[Ben]

Bearman still 13th in the championship after 9 races, ahead of both Saubers, Williamseses, Alpines and Haases.

[Waffdon]

1800086410940367219

:drool:

Should get another couple of wins this year. Spa could be great if the top teams take their engine penalty there

[Ben]

Sainz has been offered a 4 year deal (with a break clause after 2) by Williams. Interesting that Sainz isn't putting his eggs in the Audi basket and instead backing Vowles to bring Williams further up the field. That would be nice to see.

[SincereTheRebel]

Sounds like a fantastic deal, especially that two year clause. Sounds like he may tey for half the grid. Who has that record for most teams driven for full seasons?

[Ben]

Alonso has had about 8 if you include reincarnations of teams. Although there's probably an old timer who's had a dozen.

[Jimmy Floyd]

De Cesaris must have got through a few.

Alfa (two stints), McLaren, Ligier, Minardi, Rial, Dallara, Jordan, Tyrrell and then a part season with Sauber at the end.

[SincereTheRebel]

Im not counting backup drivers for a few races because some english bloke lost his life at a hairpin back in the 70s.

Proper drives. Full seasons. Ill take a look.

[niko_cee]

Fangio must have one of the best teams to races to world champs ratios. Proper journeymen are probably hard to find given the dangers, relative lack of races etc.

[Jimmy Floyd]

By your measure AdC has 8

Patrese: Shadow, Arrows, Brabham, Alfa Romeo, Williams, Benetton which is only 6 much to my surprise

Brundle: Tyrrell, Zakspeed, Brabham, Benetton, McLaren, Ligier, Jordan: 7

[thommo]

Button would count as 7 as well, although a number of those are the same team after being bought out.

Williams, Benetton, Renault, BAR, Honda, Brawn, McLaren.

[Gray Fox]

A bit of a coup for Williams if he takes it. Very solid driver lineup for years there.

James Vowles seems to talk all the right talk and handle himself well. Sounds like he took over chaos when he got there too. I hope he can turn them around.

[Shindig]

It's Le Mans at the minute so it's time to find out which former F1 driver is leading the race.

It's Kubica. :cool: EDIT: And then he rear ends a BMW. :moop:

[Pepe]

Valentino Rossi in P2. :cool:

[Ben]

Vale. :cool:

[Pepe]

Safety car because of the rain in an endurance race is fucked up.

[Shindig]

One of them just stacked it behind the safety car in broad daylight. :D Four hours of SC during the night sounds horrible, though.

[Pepe]

Yeah, at that point stop the race and let everyone go get some sleep.

[Pepe]

Both Ferrari and Toyota trying hard to fuck this up. Could go either way here in the last hour.

[SincereTheRebel]

I saw that had a door issue with the Ferrari pit wall stuttering on the radio

[Pepe]

Yeah they had to stop to close the door.

[Shindig]

They're really struggling to keep the Hypercars on the road in this rain.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Alpine, not content with being a laughing stock as it is, have brought back Flavio Briatore.

[Pepe]

:cool:

[Pepe]

Had to Google his age. 74 is somehow younger than I expected him to be.

[Adramelch]

If anything, he knows how to win championships. Not in the most conventional of ways, but still.

[SincereTheRebel]

Piquet Jr is probably still doing some racing somewhere. Get him to sabotage Q3

[Shindig]

Nah, they don't get on. Piquet Jr ratted the whole scheme out.

[Waffdon]

Leclerc losing his head in FP3 :D

Hope he gets a penalty

[SincereTheRebel]

Why drivers are on meaningless out and in laps, on the racing line, is just silly. They are just cruising as if they are at a funereal.

[Pepe]

Watching F2 and the off-track penalty stuff is madness. They should just put spikes at whatever is considered the edge of the track and be done with it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Make cars narrower.

[Pepe]

The F2s aren't that big, are they?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

No idea, I've never watched F2.

It's a general statement though and I assume the cars are wider than they once were like in F1.

[Gray Fox]

Bit of a mess at the end of FP3 huh. A few incidents of road rage. If any of them Max would be very entitled to rage as that one could have been nasty.

[Waffdon]

Leclerc losing his head in FP3 :D

Hope he gets a penalty

A shock to no one that he gets away with it

[niko_cee]

Stroll complaining about someone being in the way, was it Hamilton [?], did raise a smile.

[Waffdon]

Max is so fucking quick.

Another Max/Lando 1-2 awaits

[Giggles]

It's qualifying on now?

[Waffdon]

Q3 away to start

[niko_cee]

Yeah, Q3 coming up shortly.

[Waffdon]

Not that he needs it as he’s absolutely rapid but Perez can probably guarantee a P1 with a tow

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

ffs Piastry.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Landoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :drool:

[Gray Fox]

Fucking hell those laps from Max and Lando.

[Waffdon]

Oh my days what a lap

[Waffdon]

Verstappen and Norris are so elite. Best two drivers on the track at the minute

[Gray Fox]

Max got given the tow from Perez on that. Makes Landos lap even more mega.

[Waffdon]

4 different drivers and teams on pole in the past 4 races. Mega

[Pepe]

Oulton Park is a nice park.

Barcelona isn't.

[John Arne]

I used to live about 1 mile from Oulton, lovely part of the world.

[SincereTheRebel]

Race start in 20 min, almost caught me slippin.

[Waffdon]

Should be a two stop race which is always better.

Run into T1 will be huge. Hopefully lando doesn’t pap it

[Gray Fox]

Only the two Ferraris, Lando and Max with a new set of softs. They'll probably fit those to start and piss off into a several second gap.

[niko_cee]

'mon the big tow into turn one causing havoc.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What a fucking move by George.

[Waffdon]

His starts are so fucking shite man

[Pepe]

If Lando had kept second this could be good. As is, easy win for Verstappen.

[Pepe]

If Lando had kept second this could be good. As is, easy win for Verstappen.

Even faster than I thought lol.

[Waffdon]

This one might be over already now. :D

Fuck sake lando

[niko_cee]

Oh well, that was fun.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

And it's done.

[Gray Fox]

I think this is the proof in the pudding that while they're all catching well in qualy trim, Maxs car still takes some beating in races.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

We need some rain.

[niko_cee]

Pretty flawless drive from Russell, were he Verstappen's team mate.

[Waffdon]

And red bull get the perfect pit stop as well. They’re a fucking machine

[niko_cee]

Now's the time to stick it in the wall Logan.

[Waffdon]

Not sure why both McLaren drivers are doing the same strategy

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Now's the time to stick it in the wall Logan.

Yes please.

[niko_cee]

Maybe they're hoping for operation Piastri roadblock.

[Gray Fox]

There goes the roadblock idea.

Surely he's goalhanging for a SC now?

[Pepe]

No way this strategy works for Norris.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fat RIP for Norris.

[Waffdon]

So they’re not even going for a 1 stop? I don’t get it

[Adramelch]

Proper Ferrari-level tactics there by McLaren.

[Gray Fox]

Max still has a brand new set of softs to put back on.

[niko_cee]

So they’re not even going for a 1 stop? I don’t get it

Better softs at the end I guess, although presumably they'll be getting undercut again on that strategy so yeah.

[Pepe]

Look at Flavio's boys go. :cool:

[niko_cee]

Pretty stupid of Merc/Russell to leave Hamilton hanging 1.1s behind.

[Waffdon]

Not sure this strategy was really worth it. Would have been less time between them both if Norris just pitted at the same time as Verstappen

[Pepe]

He should be able to shorten the gap once Verstappen's tires fall off. In theory.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That was a nice battle between Lando and George.

[Waffdon]

That was quality.

Shame it just meant Verstappen is further up the road lol

[Adramelch]

Lando might have weaved one time too many in the middle there, but I guess it probably doesn't matter since he lost the position right after (before regaining it in the next move, that is).

[Waffdon]

We need a safety car. Come on Kevin

[Gray Fox]

Hulkenberg is in the points so The Magnussen could well be deployed here.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That was quality.

Shame it just meant Verstappen is further up the road lol

Unless there's a SC or rain, Max is gone regardless.

[Adramelch]

Ì get the concept of this "lap-by-lap" at the bottom, but it just seems very hard to follow the way they've gone about it.

Edit: Just realised it might be a F1-tv only thing.

[Gray Fox]

Russell about to get very pissy on the radio when he sees the colour of tyre on Lewis' car.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That's not the type of pit stop you want.

ffs McLaren.

[Waffdon]

wtf they aren’t even sticking with their plan. McLaren are useless

[niko_cee]

Slow stop, doomed strategy.

[Waffdon]

And a shite pit stop to boot. Red bull are just better in every department. Strategy, mechanics, drivers etc

[Waffdon]

At the end of the day, it’s another Lando bottlejob.

Thank god he won in Miami at least

[Adramelch]

I think in the end the strategy has been ok-ish. They're closer now (and a place higher) than they were when the first round of stops came about, and that's with shittier pit stops.

[niko_cee]

Be quite funny if the softs blow up and Tory George coasts home on the hards.

[niko_cee]

What is this inside outside shit that a lot of the drivers seem to be doing into turn 1 to defend against the DRS?

[Waffdon]

I think McLaren have the fastest car at the minute. They’ve been top 2 every single race since Miami on lots of different types of tracks. Arguably should have won in Canada and definitely have the fastest car here. Just threw it away with the start

[Pepe]

I think in the end the strategy has been ok-ish. They're closer now (and a place higher) than they were when the first round of stops came about, and that's with shittier pit stops.

Yeah, it went better than I thought it would. Still not good enough unfortunately.

[niko_cee]

Must be an overwhelming temptation as the radio engineer to just say "you missed the braking point you twat" or whatever whenever a driver gets on moaning about the car causing them to fuck up.

[Waffdon]

McLaren always looking like a rocket ship in the last ten laps of races.

Be great if they could start a race well

These two are just dominating at this point. 5 of the last 6 races had them 1-2?

[Gray Fox]

Feels like McLaren did Lando out of a win there.

[niko_cee]

Well, between the pit stop offset and him binning the start.

You need to have such a clear head to realise taking your medicine is a better approach than trying to find a way to win from the initial fuck up on a sub-optimal strategy. Everyone always wants to be on the faster tyres at the end but how many times does it work? Once a season, if that?

[Adramelch]

It was mostly Lando that did Lando out of a win. His start was abysmal. Not to mention he was clearly on board with their strategy.

[Waffdon]

Every race if you were in 2015 Merc

[Waffdon]

It was mostly Lando that did Lando out of a win. His start was abysmal. Not to mention he was clearly on board with their strategy.

Yeah, he should win that fairly comfortably without dropping to third. Even if he just lost out to Verstappen he wouldn’t have lost as much time.

Lando and McLaren need to stop giving themselves big work to do later in race.

[niko_cee]

Every race if you were in 2015 Merc

Didn't Merc just have a massively better engine than everyone at that time?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Yes the McLaren strategy (and pitstop timings) were wank but I feel like they changed shit on the fly after the awful start.

Had Lando not been slapped about by Max and George they'd have gone for a safer strategy which would have worked out better.

[Adramelch]

Still not sure their strategy was wank. He was 5 seconds behind when Verstappen did his first pit stop (so essentially when their strategy difference started). In hindsight it wasn't a strategy that could win them the game, but it didn't really cost them anything either.

[Waffdon]

Stroll extends.

:D

[Ben]

That'll take him to 10 seasons in F1.

[Adramelch]

Rumor mill has it that Bearman is all but confirmed for Haas and also Lawson over Ricciardo at RB looking very likely.

[Gray Fox]

Bearman still being 13th in the championship despite there being 8 races since he was in the Ferrari is quite lol.

He looked talented so Ferrari will have him in the Haas. RB/VCARB would be silly to keep Ricciardo around now. He's had the chance to state his case and he should be off now. Lawson a shoe in.

I suspect Sainz will announce himself to Williams soon. He may have wanted the Sauber to Audi money and project, but there isn't really a way to be on the grid next season otherwise.

Merc are still attempting to flirt with Verstappen and its a bit embarrassing by this point. They'll get Antonelli in the car after Max leaves them on read.

I reckon Ocon will take the spare seat at either Sauber or Haas. Maybe potential for Bottas there too.

That just leaves the spare Alpine. I'll hazard a guess they stay Super Team France and stick Theo Pourchaire in the car.

[Ben]

Antonelli seems a massive risk considering he's done nothing in F2 this year. But Bearman is struggling too as it seems Prema have completed fudged their understanding of the new F2 car. But still, the lad is 17 and they're throwing him in based on some F4 domination.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Bearman still being 13th in the championship despite there being 8 races since he was in the Ferrari is quite lol.

He looked talented so Ferrari will have him in the Haas. RB/VCARB would be silly to keep Ricciardo around now. He's had the chance to state his case and he should be off now. Lawson a shoe in.

That just leaves the spare Alpine. I'll hazard a guess they stay Super Team France and stick Theo Pourchaire in the car.

I've heard that Alpine are going to take a run at Sainz.

[Ben]

Shame they've got that French disorganisation at the top because they've developed their car from the worst to the 5th best in less than three months.

[Pepe]

Flavio will have them fighting for podiums in no time.

[Waffdon]

Max and lando yet again easily clear from the rest.

[Ben]

Perez nowhere and Ferrari blunder again.

[Clunge]

Verstappen and Norris on a totally different level atm. Piastri decent effort though too.

[Adramelch]

Norris really needs to work on his starts. Pretty consistently a level below everyone else around him.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Yeah he's dogshit at them.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Norris is looking very quick.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Wow.

Some great fighting.

Max is going to have a tough job holding off these McLarens.

[Adramelch]

That's some really good racing from all 3 there.

[Waffdon]

Wow.

Some great fighting.

Max is going to have a tough job holding off these McLarens.

Nah, piastri overtaking fucked it. Let him off because it’s a pointless sprint race. Should
Have worked together

[Waffdon]

Is skys leaderboard fucked? Or am on a dodgy feed. Haven’t seen any action in the front for 5 mins

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Nah, piastri overtaking fucked it. Let him off because it’s a pointless sprint race. Should
Have worked together

Yeah. Piastri didn't have the pace to challenge Max but Lando did.

Oh well.

Could be in for a good race tomorrow.

[Adramelch]

Is skys leaderboard fucked? Or am on a dodgy feed. Haven’t seen any action in the front for 5 mins

F1tv hasn't shown a leaderboard since about lap 3 either.

[Waffdon]

Should be a good race tomorrow assuming Norris and Verstappen are at the front from quali. Piastri is pointless because he can’t manage his tyres so if he’s near the front he’ll fall away

[niko_cee]

Well, 11am start sunk that for me.

[SincereTheRebel]

Didn't know it was ab 11am start. In just tuning in now.

[Adramelch]

You didn't miss much. There was about 30 seconds of really good action and then absolutely nothing after that.

[Waffdon]

Norris has been fastest on track the last 3 races at the tail end of the races so hopefully tomorrow there’s less of a deficit for him to make up.

Always due some thunderstorms

Edit: maybe not, looks like weather has changed

[Adramelch]

I know Piastri slowed him down in the sprint, but it didn't feel like he'd have the pace to catch Verstappen either.

[Adramelch]

That's a rather tight Q1, with 0.8s difference between first and last.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Checo 12th with fresh tyres is pretty lol.

[Waffdon]

Dominant Max / Red Bull may be back if Q2 is anything to go by. Hopefully McLaren have something for us like last week

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Max under investigation?!?!?!?

:drool:

[Waffdon]

For fuck all. Nothing will happen.

Nearly 0.4 seconds they’ve pulled over McLaren in 24 hours. Fuck me. Short lap too

[Clunge]

Suspect they were quite conservative with Max's engine given he seems to be borderline on a couple of them. Turn it down for sprint qualifying and the sprint, and up again for proper qualifying.

[Pepe]

Ouch, that Rins crash was nasty.

[SincereTheRebel]

That Yuki fine is irritating. He learned english from the cockpit with the lads. I know you cant grade people on a curve but for me. Some of us learned languages on the astro turf. Harsh but understandable.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Alright Austria, simmer down lads.

[Gray Fox]

What's the Zimmer obsession here?

[Adramelch]

That Yuki fine is irritating. He learned english from the cockpit with the lads. I know you cant grade people on a curve but for me. Some of us learned languages on the astro turf. Harsh but understandable.

I get what you're saying and all, but what he said is not down to his knowledge of English. It's quite disingenuous to suggest that he didn't know what he was saying, or that it wasn't appropriate.

A fine of 40k is just virtue signalling anyway.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fucking hell Lando.

He really needs to get better at starting.

[Adramelch]

I know I am beating a dead horse here, but Norris is legitimately a backmarker when it comes to his starts.

[Pepe]

The Mercedes going at it. :drool:

At least Norris didn't lose any positions this time.

[Waffdon]

You’re not wrong. At this point it feels deliberate:D

No idea how he has fastest lap but already 2.5 seconds behind

[Waffdon]

3 seconds clear after 7 laps in a 70 second a lap race. GGs, monster RB are back

[Gray Fox]

This is prime time for deploying The Magnussen today at Haas.

[Waffdon]

Not sure it makes a difference

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I love KMag.

[Gray Fox]

Bernie might just be the best thing about the Sky coverage. Finally someone other than Brundle who knows their shit.

[Waffdon]

Alonso :D

Retire mate

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Alonso :lol:

[Pepe]

Alonso. :D

[Waffdon]

Piastri grassing like a little girl lol

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Piastri grassing like a little girl lol

I fucking LOVE all the snitching the drivers have been doing this year.

[Adramelch]

Piastri grassing like a little girl lol

Given the way his lap was deleted yesterday I think it's a fair response to be honest.

[Pepe]

Would be wild to penalize him for that imo.

[Adramelch]

Piastri legitimately had his lap deleted for a smaller margin yesterday. I'd be livid if I was Piastri and Hamilton wasn't penalized.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Shocking release that.

[Waffdon]

FIA need to give a 5 second penalty for that just to make this interesting

[Waffdon]

Given the way his lap was deleted yesterday I think it's a fair response to be honest.

Nobody said it wasn’t. Just funny the way they all grass on each other and make things dramatic

[Pepe]

Give Verstappen a five second penalty too. :drool:

[Adramelch]

If I was Red Bull, I'd be ok with a penalty there, because it doesn't look like McLaren can match their pace anyway.

[Waffdon]

Give Verstappen a five second penalty too. :drool:

Don’t think he’s ever had penalty since he was crashing into Hamilton every week in 2021

[Pepe]

Perez :harold:

[Waffdon]

We may legitimately get Verstappen 1st and Norris 2nd the rest of the year.

Verstappen miles clear of Norris and the latter is just better than the rest

[Adramelch]

Is Leclerc going for some "most pit stops in a race" record or something?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Max not getting punished is bullshit.

[Pepe]

It really wasn't that bad.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

https://i.imgur.com/g2KuPZf.jpeg

[Adramelch]

Max not getting punished is bullshit.

I know he gets away with a lot of shit, but in fairness there's been worse incidents of that nature that have routinely gone unpunished.

[niko_cee]

Squabbling at Alpeeeen about he only interesting thing about his race.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Gasly :cool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Holy fuck Red Bull ballsed up a pit stop.

[Waffdon]

Shame McLaren couldn’t take advantage

[Adramelch]

Ok that's spicy.

[niko_cee]

Hopefully the rear left falls off.

[Adramelch]

Hopefully the rear left falls off.

Well he has used versus Norris' fresh tires, so things are going to happen surely.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Oh shit, we have a race.

[Pepe]

Looking promising. :cool:

This is a good racetrack, btw.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Little nibble on Norris to win @ 2.38.

[Pepe]

Already falling behind DRS. :face:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Already falling behind DRS. :face:

Keep the faith lad.

[Pepe]

Faith restored. I think it needs to happen soon though.

[Waffdon]

He always gets overtaken back by him. Needs to be smarter.

Also is he not away to get 5 second penalty? Went off track after black and white flags

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That could be a penalty.

[Adramelch]

He always gets overtaken back by him. Needs to be smarter.

Also is he not away to get 5 second penalty? Went off track after black and white flags

He had to give the position back.

[Pepe]

I think he is fucked, yes.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Could be fucked.

[Waffdon]

He had to give the position back.

Ahhh, did wonder. Looked down to type and seen him back in 2nd :D

Penalty incoming then

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Max didn't give him enough room there?

[niko_cee]

This is a good racetrack, btw.

It really isn't.

Verstappen taking the piss now. No further action.

[Pepe]

Verstappen defending like a boss, imo.

[Adramelch]

Max didn't give him enough room there?

I think, while complaining an awful lot, Lando is at least a bit right on how Verstappen has defended a couple of these corners.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Surely Max should give the position?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

:lol:

That had been coming.

[Pepe]
