F1 2023 (Sponsored by Ferrari strategists)

Hungary 98. Say what you like about the ITV coverage but their choice of intro music remains absolutely banging. A classic tactical battle in Hungary worth posting just to watch Michael Schumacher rag the absolute shit out of his Ferrari in an effort to keep up with the far superior Mclarens. Ferrari have A PLAN to beat them, which appears to be employing Michael Schumacher and asking him to drive very quickly please, but can they pull it off?

I almost forgot the most important part, after a year and a half of ITV covering the sport polo watch pays off as Jim Rosenthal has UNDONE THE TOP BUTTON. What a day.

:lol:

That Bottas mullet is majestic.

What a fanny. Shouldn’t even be allowed racing if he’s like that.

Please let Aston be the real deal. Alonso v Verstappen has so much lol potential.

That's a good bet on any weekend.

I was a year early with my "El Plan" tagline. Alonso is winning the championship lads.

I reckon the Bulls might find that bit extra with Max here.

I suspect Ferrari weren't showing their full hand yet either.

Oh that was firmly tongue in cheek. I fully expect Max to break records this season.

Not if they're going to throw red flags for things as little as this.

What's taking them so long to get it going again? Three cars on track and the bit of debris about 30 metres from the nearest marshall.

Two pieces of a Ferrari just flinging off while going down the straight should warrant it going to the scrutineers tbf.

I kept expecting them to show a car that had stopped somewhere, but if it's for that tiny piece of debris...

It was for that little bit on turn 1. The bit that came off on the straight fucked off into the stands.

If this Q1 is at all representative we have 4 teams with very similar pace at the front.

I am still to be convinced it won't be Red Bull winning tomorrow but at least they've had to burn another set of softs here in Q1. Shows they're not completely comfortable with their position.

Hamilton and both Bulls having to get back out there again in Q1. This could be a great race.

Hulkenberg on the brisk side by the looks.

Illegally so unfortunately.

Leclerc throwing in the towel is very French of him.

Red Bull 1-2, what a shock. As you were from last year by the looks of it, with the addition of Aston just behind Mercedes.

Just hope that Red Bull reduced wind tunnel time will have an impact. Great to see Aston Martin make such big strides from last season as well.

I see Mercedes are now publicly reconciled to the fact that their funky design is a dud, won't work and needs to be 'reconsidered'.

Another year or Norris in a tractor, Merc waiting for upgrades after one weekend, Ferrari being Ferrari and Red Bull breaking more records. Woo.

Toto seems to think they're more like 0.4 off as he thinks they would have naturally improved if they had a new set of softs like the Bulls and Ferrari did.

However it's amazing how quickly it's gone from this upgrade package for Baku will put us right with Red Bull, to we need improvement from the upgrade package or we're toast.

Be quite funny if they turn up to Baku with something that looks a lot like the Aston.

I can't see them going that far. They seem so into the lack of sidepods and narrow nose.

This is the dream.

I've tried hard to find this on Chilean TV but the closest thing I can muster is A Knight's Tale, horribly dubbed into Spanish. RIP Heath Ledger, we hardly knew you.

Lance Stroll trying to take out Alonso :harold:

It's not easy to quickly identify the cars... half the grid look the same.

3 seconds clear already. :lol:

Mclaren are a joke.

Piastri :(

He deserved better than this ffs.

Yeah, I've noticed that you

I'm almost done with this. Not at all entertaining.

Yeah, this is somehow more boring than Merc winning every year. We aren’t even getting entertaining duals for the podiums, nobody is close enough to make a move lol

I dont like these penalties. They should punish the team, not the driver. Ocon didn't mess up during the penalty in the pit.

Get Bernies sprinklers out ffs.

Ocon :lol:

This is pretty bad, we need Strulovich to run into his team mate a few more times.

Fastest lap in 18th, don't try too hard lads.

Ferrari should have at least stayed out for a while longer and finished on softs or something. Boring fucks

Alonso (and Ocon) providing a bit of entertainment.

Missed you so much Ferrari xoxoxo

At least make it a proper safety car for some entertainment. Jesus Christ.

If not for Alonso this would be the worst race of all time.

Sorry, you lost me.

He's trying to say you wouldn't be moaning if they were shouting GET IN THERE LEWIS, at the end.
