interesting qualification
Max is Max, able to do what Hamilton use to do, turn it on when needed...
Not expecting much difference in the race, Max should win, would be nice to see him not...
Thou I think its time for Ricardo should go, but Lawson back in
Its not the car Ricardo, its you.

From hospital bed to P1. Carlos Sainz gets the job done! :driving:

Thanks to some help from Max and Redbull :tiphat:

Watched the race and I was a bit surprised, that is was a bit boring.
Yes, there was some excitement, but I was quite surprise as to the gaps..
HAAS two cars in the points
RB Tsunoda getting 7th after Alonso penalty
Now Alonso penalty, which had nothing to do with Russel crash, makes no sense, He is known for doing things like this. Not sure wear F1 is going.

Thou I know one thing, with all the changes, the race really does not allow a log of passing. Towards the end it was HAAS over Albon, and Perez for a bit. Then Russell chasing Alosno and another crash. Whether he was distracted by Alosno or not. Not sure about him.

Perez, was doing well and then what happened. Not sure if there is anyone that RB can be if no 1 goes out, no 2 can win the race...

Ricardo, starting to make excuses and wants the car change to his tastes.
Little concern about this. Seems that RB has some similar with the McLaren he could not get to his liking.

Tsunoda is not having any problems. Hmmm

His reputation precedes him…

If you are also a fan of MotoGP, then by the end of 2024 you will be watching a second Liberty Media property. They announced that they will complete their purchase of majority control of Dorna Sports later this year.

Sorry, no. I realize it is April 1, but this is not a joke.

From Racer Magazine
“It was obviously a bit of a strange situation,” said Russell. “[I was] totally caught by surprise. I was looking at the steering wheel making a switch change in the straight, and when I looked up, I was in Fernando's gearbox and it was too late. Then the next thing I know, I'm in the wall.

Distracted driving, I would say...

So Russell freaked out and caused his own crash? Wild

I figured all along that he was looking at himself in the mirror!

He was unable to see Fernando harvesting for 100m more on that corner than t he previous laps. Sorry, but that isn't Fernando's fault and never was.

Stewards muffed that call.

I have no doubt that Fernando was playing with George, but I don't think there was any intent to cause him to crash or drive through his wake - just to back George off while getting a better exit from T6 for himself. But that's called "racing". Anyone on the grid would consider that as an option, but now they have to consult the rule book and radio a lawyer first!

Sucks to be Williams rn

"Why can't you join us on holiday?"

"I have to rebuild a chassis in hopes so we don't end up rock bottom in the classification"


Then fast forward to Japan.

still 0 points
still a chassis to repair

Very nearly two - Sargeant went off in practice and at the same spot (I think) in the race. Either of those could have been costly.

"um, is it alright if we sit the next few races out while we rebuild our cars?"

At least Albon's wasn't his fault - Ricciardo really screwed that up. Lets look left and turn right. Hmmm.

very smart man, makes a great point on indycar

And NASCAR shot itself in the foot too. But they have more issues than just the car :ugh2:

Great read

OK, just how do you leave the best cars and drivers in the sport behind by over a second a lap? Mind boggling.
