Great drive by Sainz.

Another yawner. Max just walked away.

Max with another grand slam

Fucking race director at the end.

GG everybody

Riveting stuff. Excited there's 23 more races of this. /s

Yuki getting the Ferrari treatment

Mom, Max is at it again

I like it, they screwed him

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

This is Yuki showing he is still immature. He wasn't going to get that pass done and only ended up making Daniel miss his window (being on softs / having Max lap them). Yuki pulls a large market and has matured some, shenanigans like this put a real negative view on an otherwise positive race.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Yuki is pissed lmao

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yuki doesn't seem quite happy to be asked to swap

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I wonder how the relationship between Daniel and Yuki will play out this year?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Honestly same. I was really expecting more from Daniel on that final stint. If the season continues similar to this, I expect a lot more frustration from Tsunoda

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

I'd expect some fireworks - my guess is neither Yuki nor Daniel is there next year (one up / one out)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Seems like it will be the same as last year

Max is 15 second up the road. I was hoping for a better year with some actual racing involved.

Ah well. Guess I’ll try again in 2026 with the rule changes.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I wish Red Bull would just unleash Max instead of just telling him to build a ~15 sec gap and then drive to a delta. If we can't have competition at the front, at least let us watch Max lap the entire field.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

If Red Bull do that, then F1 will start bringing a whole raft of rule changes mid season to try an screw over Red Bull and make them slower

(I mean they tried to do that last year with the floor rulings, but Red Bull ended up getting even better)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Wasn't the floor rulings a late implementation of intended porpoising prevention? Or was there another floor change I forgot about?

Also funny how by the time the floor change was implemented most teams had already fixed porpoising and all it accomplished was making following harder again.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Ferrari was still struggling with it in the latter half of 2022

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Maxito, Don't play with your food

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Interesting to put Checo on the softs.

No hards available.

Brutal pitstop for Bottas. He's always the unlucky one.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Poor Bottas

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Bottas and botched tyre nuts....name a better combo

Lawrence Barretto's prediction on Hamilton seems to be spot on atm.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What was his prediction again?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

I am not 100% sure but I thought 8th this race and Hamilton gave him a β€œhard time” about it during the drivers parade.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

When they finally showed Max just now, I thought it was because he had a problem lol

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Alex have you tried restarting it?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Is Zak getting paid by Sky or something? They always talk to him.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

They usually have several of the TPs and team personnel give commentary each race. They rotate week to week.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Seems nothing like that,they also talk to James(Williams TP) sometimes and they did so last year in some races.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Sainz has REALLY been performing and showing what he can do!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

This is suddenly becoming a race of reliability.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Only took 18 laps for a "we are checking"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)
