Genie Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Just watching Max’s pole lap, it’s incredible how good the cars are now. It looks effortless. Back in the 90’s they were scissoring the steering just to go in a straight line. Now they could probably drink a coffee at the same time without spilling it.

OutByEaster? Posted October 7, 2023 Moderator Share Posted October 7, 2023 After this weekend, once Max is Champion, they should let him have a holiday and put guest drivers in the Red Bull for the rest of the season for fun. I'll let you pick who. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Logan Sargeant is a bit shit at staying on the track isn't he. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted October 7, 2023 Moderator Share Posted October 7, 2023 i think we've lost 7 or 8 of the 14 laps so far to safety cars - it's been pretty entertaining though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) Oscar Piastri really is good. I love how incredibly laid back he is about everything, win or lose just never changes his reaction Edited October 7, 2023 by Farlz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Bit of an anti-climax winning the title in a gimmick race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theunderstudy Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Well, that's three titles for Verstappen. You have to wonder whats standing between him and his 4th title next year.... Piastri with a first "win" although I don't think it counts in the all-time list I'd assume? Really impressive drive and held his nerve. Biggest sprint takeaway was how shit the soft compound looked after 8 laps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 So the one team that broke the spending budget last year dominated the championship. Well played F1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theunderstudy Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Hamilton and Russell collide lap 1 and eliminate each other (Russell may continue?) Looked more Hamiltons fault to me but he's paid dearly for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Feels like the Red Bull PR around Perez is starting to turn. I didn't think they would but maybe they do split after this season. Couldn't really blame them because he has been horrendous lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m quite sure enjoyed having zero competition for wins. He might have to work a bit next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 22 hours ago, Genie said: Was the race as bad as 1 post suggests? Wasn't as bad as some races. Sainz didn't start, Perez started from the pits and looked awful, Hamilton torpedoed himself out of the race first corner, Leclercs car looked like it had something wrong with it.... So there's 4 of the top 8 cars not influencing the race. The McLarens drove really strong races and couldn't be challenged as easily by Russell who would have been a non-factor if not for the safety car bunching the pack up meaning he could easily cut through the back markers and get in the top 6 The tyres situation meant everyone was pitting every 20 laps so overcuts and undercuts were limited. The circuit itself seems like a lot of overtaking is possible, to the point where 3 cars were abreast like about 12 times over the weekend. So an interesting battle outside the good teams as Alfa in particular had a good race but a completely skippable race overall 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCDAN Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 That Mclaren pit stop was a work of art, watched it multiple times on the replay afterwards. Man and machine working in total harmony. Could be decades before that is beaten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
