FORMULA 1 QATAR AIRWAYS BRITISH GRAND PRIX 2025
Once again the race is paused with a safety car without giving the chance for the teams to use the wetsโฆ why do they even make those tyres anyway?
absolute cinema
the real strategy was to put wet tires
Mercedes and Ferrari are struggling.
Stroll slicing through the field in the wet is a beautiful sight.
Slicks seemed to have been a bad gamble. The VSCs ruined all chances of gaining track positions before the next spell of rain.
It was a worthwhile gamble to take for those who did I think.
well the F2 earlier try the same and had similar bad luck. It's Britain, it rained
Do we know what happened to Colapinto?
Gearbox stuck in 2nd gear
not sure yet
and Piastri takes the lead
Rain is coming
3 out
Chaotic start to the race so far!
Rookie Massacre 2: British Boogaloo
Flashbacks the the rain opener in Australia where only Antonelli finished put of all the rookies.
rain expected in 10 laps
1 down
Antonelli needs to live up to his reputation from the junior series as a wet weather bandit. He's in a great spot here as first of the slick runners.
Part of the track is bone dry. I wonder who will put at the end of formation.
Looks like Leclerc and Russell will play with water.
looks like it is 1 lap safety 1 lap to drive...damn 50 laps to go :)
Rolling start??
Edit: or just formation
Yeah RIP Max with that low downforce setup, McLaren is even stronger on a drying track with their tyre magic (if it stops raining).
And now that it's a confirmed wet race I'm swapping Ferrari for Mercedes in my fantasy team.
Overtaking on a semi wet track is no small feat. The normal line is quickly going to be a lot faster so as long as he can keep ahead in the first lap, he's looking good to win.
Neither Norris nor Piastri will want to risk slipping off the track and possibly lose 18 points to each other. Either of them risking this past lap 1 would be considered as taking a high risk for a low reward.
With the amount of downforce these cars generate I bet that slimmed wing is still a net gain around here up until we start nearing the crossover between inters and full wets. And if those are the conditions we won't be racing anyway.
Looks like it's raining again. Hopefully it makes for an interesting race.
We all do whenever it rains, but instead we get postponed race start until conditions are barely damp enough for inters, with everyone switching to slicks within a couple of laps and no overtaking being possible due to only a single dry line existing.
Let's go! rain will play out.
