Re: 2025 British Grand Prix Race Thread

This was the first race this year that I had to miss watching live, and during that first SC period the station I recorded ran a few ads, so I don't know whether a reason was given for deploying it. But if it was "only" on account of the rain, then it seems to me that SC deployment was against the ...

Re: The official NICO HULKENBERG Thread

Regarding being at Audi, you do wonder if the engines will be good or a disaster, so it is hard to tell how good the team will be. But the car performance has been improving massively this year vs last. Remembering that Audi enjoyed dominating many seasons in LMP running hybrid engines that are sim...

Re: Driver(s) of the day - 2025 British Grand Prix

Being honest this time, What did Alonso really do today that was much better than Stroll? Not that I would vote either. Yes, he made his mediums last far longer than Stroll made his softs last, but that is sort of to be expected? I would say Stroll's first 2 stints were more impressive over that st...

I have to say this is probably one of Leclerc's worst races in years.

Re: The official NICO HULKENBERG Thread

So what lies ahead for Hulkenberg as an Audi driver do you think? Well, he is certainly doing better than I expected at Sauber. I now feel being inconsistent, but with high peaks is probably better for a team like this than a driver that is usually solid but unspectacular. Hulkenberg still has quit...

Well done Tsunoda for finishing 40 seconds behind the driver in 2nd to last place.... While we know virtually all team mates to Verstappen just can't handle this car, I think it is down to their mindset and how they handle losing to him. This seems to make some of them much weaker as a driver and st...

Re: 2025 British Grand Prix Race Thread

Seeing some replays of Piastri's breaking, I think 10 seconds is clearly deserved. You can hear he accelerated for at least a couple of seconds, then drastically slowed down with Verstappen behind. Verstappen didn't, but he could have locked up and not been able to steer away. I think the conditions...

Hulkenberg obviously. Norris, showing he's the better of the two McLaren drivers, made the least amount of errors of the field. Better today in terms of not making the error, but certainly not quicker overall. Piastri was on a whole other level before the safety car an built up a gap of over 15 sec...

Tsunoda has been abysmal in the last 2 races. This should not be related to driving the red bull, I think it is just a lack of mental strength of being dominated by Verstappen just triggers mistakes.
