Not another street circuit

Wouldn’t it be ironic if this is the first in a string of such incidents and they have to cancel the GP due to track issues?

Looking at the layoffs at the AAA publishers I wouldn’t bet on it.

Let’s see them actually release something before getting excited, now it’s just cheap publicity

It’s one GP I’m going to skip, everything about that weekend is just a publicity stunt and money grab. Not how you gain fans imho

Amen to that

Danny’s car also had a failure, his brake duct broke pretty early in the race.

Too bad, he did his best with a one stop. But rules are rules, and harsh penalties are there to discourage intentional lowering the ride height.

Maybe also don’t do sprint races on bumpy tracks, or even better not at all.

Time will tell, other than the name I don’t see much impact

Good for him, hope he gets a solid race

They really put the words in his mouth, but in the end he is agreeing with the statement.

Shameful from FOM to even allow the race to go ahead, let alone complete with so many complaining about the heat. Zonlicht for safety first.

Let’s hope McLaren can built on this year and not have a start like this year.

It still irks me that people think those upset by the 2021 finale are so because Hamilton didn’t get his 8the world title. In all fairness, Red Bull made the right call to pit at the SC, and if the race would have restarted correctly would have had a fair shot at winning.

Problem is that Massi threw away the rulebook by letting only the cars between Hamilton and Verstappen overtake. If he wanted an epic last 4 lap, then red flag the race, let everyone change tires and see two of the greatest drivers ever in F1 duke it out on track.

Now we got a sour end to an epic season, with many people turned off by the sport and there will always be a footnote with Max’s first WDC.

Just don’t watch your socials, I even switch off the radio when the news is on.

So, no replacement?

Not anymore: https://lemm.ee/post/8250716

They issued a statement that he will not race, no mention of a replacement.

Ferrari 1-2 confirmed

Not to mention Horner boasting in drive to survive that “it’s only fun if Toto gets riled up”

Honestly to me it’s a bunch of millionaires and billionaires taking stabs at each other. I don’t care and I don’t understand why people like to play offended in their stead.

Do you mean like the shit stirring master Christian Horner, who told in drive to survive ice cold that “it’s only funny when Toto gets riled up”? Because compared to that Mercedes is absolutely down right civil.

Sure it sounds a bit moany, doesn’t mean he isn’t right after ha ing paired with 3 world champions. Not to mention to have his 8th world title to be stolen (not just by the bullshit call in the last 3 laps of the last race) but also by max just crashing him out when max couldn’t compete.

Helmut Marko also just say what’s on his mind, do you see that as childish jabs as well?

Maybe try not to take the little jabs from millionaire drivers amongst each other as personal insult and just enjoy the sport.

I think Hamilton didn’t expect Piastri to be there anymore.

Coulthard immediately said that it was Hamilton’s fault, but also that a more experienced driver would have recognized the place was lost and avoid the incident.

Max will be ahead by t2 and sainz and leclerc crash into eachother

One can hope they take Verstappen with them, so we have an interesting race, but don’t count on it

Someone has learned the art of shit stirring from Horner

I don’t think they have any other valid options currently, who could they sign at the moment? RBR has made Max their number 1 to such an extend that nobody could compete in that team. So the pilots that can compete with Max seem to rather stay at their own teams, hoping that they will close the gap sooner or later and actually fight with Max. The drivers that aren’t able to compete know that it is career suicide as they will compare badly against max and moving back to a back marker team might be a very cold shower after driving a race winning car. And RBR has all but ended their driver academy, so no new talent will be flowing in from that pool either (and looking at the last 3 guys sacked by Marko, who would want to).

The only possibility seems to be Ricciardo, but he might not be back up in time.

Finally, I’ve been waiting 21 years for this…

Can’t blame him really, hope they can build on their current form. But from what I’ve been reading here McLaren got a bit lucky with their upgrade, fingers crossed.

Perez was already nursing a problem, if anyone was driving dangerously it was him.

I’m afraid that’s not going to change anything. The downside of the budget cap is that other teams can’t spend enough to catch up to the team that got it right. Red Bull being able to shift their focus to next year this early on just means that the budget penalty for winning doesn’t effect them. Where others have to spend on upgrades to stay competitive in this year, they just get a chunk of money to spend outside of the 2024 budget.

By the time the other teams have caught up, FIA will have changed the rules again and the cycle starts over.

One of the favorite old tracks, hope it never gets removed from the calendar.

In the hands of Verstappen yes, with Perez not a guarantee

For his overall finishing position, certainly, but his main objective will be to finish ahead of Tsunoda consistently.

Not as exciting as I had hoped, but still a decent race.

I don’t see Red Bull stoping at just 12 consecutive wins, it’s going to be a season for the record books.

Not bad from Ricciardo , out scoring Tsunoda after being hit by Zhou at the start

Nice graphic

Yes, no more trump in my feed!

Probably, yes. He doesn’t even need a good start with that Red Bull.

Welp, he did get a visit tot the Red Bull garage and meet&greet with checo out of it…

Does anyone still plays RR3? It was fun back when it was relative new, but too much pay to win at the end.

I feel this gets overlooked too easily. Also, there was a recent article reporting that the study that proofed talc was responsible for the asbestos exposure, was fundamentally flawed and ignored major historic exposure to asbestos in its participants.

Shit on J&J all you want, they deserve a fair bit of criticism, but the talc ruling is just plain ignorance by the jury.

No, but they can’t penalize 2022 anymore, can they?

That’s my main concern with the enforcement, it shouldn’t be a fixed amount of money or seconds on track or so, but should be a percentage of that teams advantage
