Didn't Leclerc also crash in qualifying yesterday for the Sprint? yes actually, but enough to give himself time to get back out without assistance from the red flag. And the sprint race obviously isn't the main event. They both spun they both survived. My point being is that Sainz will not have had...

Stupid from Alonso and equally stupid from Sainz, realistically he could have just waited for the DRS zone Where the contact was made with alonso most certainly wasn't equally stupid from both. It wasn't stupid from either. It's exactly what we want to see, good hard racing. Occasionally when racin...

Sainz looking messy this weekend. There was so much hype about him looking better than Leclerc over just 3 weekends while Leclerc was admitting he wasn't getting the best out of the car. There even seems to be floods of youtube videos going on about Sainz based on 3 performanes, then this weekend h...

Really enjoying Rosberg on co comms. He's probably the only co commentator that is willing to actually criticise drivers. I'm not keen on some of his opinionated statements. I remember when Sargeant complained of being impeded in SQ1, Rosberg said it cost him nothing at all and then later admitted ...

TheGiantHogweed

tsunoda really is not looking good this weekend compared to the rest of the seaosn.

TheGiantHogweed

well, that qualifying compared to yesterday was a shocking performance from hamilton.

TheGiantHogweed

If sainz doesn't get a penalty for that, it will be because it was between teammates. He certainly should get one

TheGiantHogweed

Impressive from magnussen today. Not sure what happened with hulkenberg. Also not sure how bottas broke his front wing.

TheGiantHogweed

That was dumb from alonso

TheGiantHogweed

The graphics with the driver names above the cars are so ugly..... I seriously hope these will not stay and make the races look as fake and game like as possible....

TheGiantHogweed

At face value I would have agreed with TheGiantHogweed as I remembered his standout performances at Monza in qualifying and I think Turkey in the wet a few years ago but your post made me think; now I am struggling to remember anything special from him in the wet in recent times. Exactly. I think I...

When was the last time he was good ? (I don't just mean better than he is in the dry, I mean genuinely good).

TheGiantHogweed

He's usually poor in these conditions. He's occasionally very good. Strongly disagree that he is usually poor in the wet. In my opinion, he is usually pretty good or great in the wet, and sometimes poor. When was the last time he was good ? (I don't just mean better than he is in the dry, I mean ge...

That was a bonkers SQ3! Some impressives drives, Norris, Hamilton and Alonso on it. Special mention for Zhou too

To be honest, Zhou was dissapointing in q3. While only one position behind bottas, he was 2.5 seconds off which is possibly the furthest he's ever been off bottas in his career.

TheGiantHogweed

Great to see that toto is OK with norris getting his lap back. However if Hamilton was improving enough to beat it and he backed off due to seeing it was deleted, Mercedes may well argue against it.

Superb from Hamilton. Rolled back the years. Probably the 6th fastest car out there in this session at best.

Well, there were 6 teams in the top 10. I wouldn't say that Mercedes were worse than Sauber.

All this said, Hamilton was the most impressive driver in the session.

If Hamilton had backed off that lap, this would be ridiculous.

TheGiantHogweed

Not sure what others think, but I really struggle to tolerate rosberg in commentary. He's OK in the team elsewhere, but him with Crofty is just terrible in my opinion.

TheGiantHogweed

Just realised that Hamilton's retirement was one of only 2 engine related retirements since Austria 2018.

It really is quite amazing that he's only had 3 technical DNFs since near the start of 2018 over the course of 6 years.

TheGiantHogweed

So news of Hamilton's demise in a 3 race sample is quickly quelled in a weekend for the first time this season he wasn't experimenting with set up. Focus now perhaps shifts to the demise of Leclerc in a 2 race sample, the season is 24 races long, just saying. Ricciardo's badly mangled chassis, in h...

TheGiantHogweed

I do understand why so many have gone for Tsunoda, but I would argue that the car was pretty solid this weekend. ricciardo also looked pretty close for once in qualifying. P10 and P11 when neither driver are exactly a stand out in qualifying lap pace I think is more related to the car. Not to say it...

TheGiantHogweed

I think Bottas has a good start to the year - is it 4-0 now in qualifying against Zhou? At times since the early stages of 2022 I’ve sensed he’s a little disinterested/unmotivated because of Sauber’s lack of competitiveness, but a strong season could mean that he gets a drive in the Audi team. Whil...

I'm surprised that I didn't work out that that video i posted earlier actually is only part of the full length uber advert.....

TheGiantHogweed

David Croft is so poor. Doesn't he look at the timing screens when he does his commentary? The quantity of mistakes from him today was shocking yes. Referred to Tsunoda by 2 other driver names twice and struggled to follow what was going on more that Davidson who hardly ever does commentary in qual...

TheGiantHogweed

It does feel that no matter how well bottas does, it is highly likely that there will be a 20+ seconds stop ruin the result tomorrow.

TheGiantHogweed

So, Magnussen beats Hülkenberg in qualifying but falls behind him in the race because Hülkenberg pitted under VSC. Magnussen goes on to finish one place behind him. But Hülkenberg easily wins the TMW - okay ... ? I think that's probably a case of people not knowing that happened. :thumbup: ... and ...

TheGiantHogweed

Everyone can have their opinions, but there are a number of drivers, that to me have way too many votes - or somehow even more than their teammates when it just doens't seem realistic. Alonso: Other than a very small pace advantage, what exactly has he done to get 10 votes vs 18 to Stroll. Stroll ma...

TheGiantHogweed

Some easy ones, some not so easy ones. First, the easy: Verstappen over Perez -- Obviously. Sainz over Leclerc -- Also obviously. Norris over Piastri -- Not particularly close. Russell over Hamilton -- Lewis retired pretty early on, but I didn't see anything to suggest he was going to be quicker th...

TheGiantHogweed

But unles RB improve significently, it is more or less guarenteed that they will be beaten every time to victory. Red Bull on the other hand, that may be a struggle ;) :?: RB are what the team formerly known as Alpha Tauri are now called. Making the abbreviation of Red Bull to RB confusing. But I d...

TheGiantHogweed

The team mate wars this year have had at least two teams each race that have been pretty trick to decide on, and I think it is going to be two or more again this time. If Hulkenberg actually benefitted from a VSC pit stop, got outqualified my magnussen, and magnussen had to let him through, followed...

TheGiantHogweed

The RB beater! Not hard to beat an RB with a ferrari at all ;) most drivers beat at least one of them. Maybe harder beating a red bull, but not so much when it isn’t verstappen driving it and when the ferrari is arguably as good too. Well, there is only one driver who has beaten RB to a GP victory ...

Williams didn't score any points today, wonder how sargeant and alex must feel

And that is even when Sauber had a dreadful day and there were 3 DNFs all of which were ahead of Albon.

TheGiantHogweed

Sainz for victory! 8) ... and he did it! RB should hire him if they want the clean sweep. Perez, on the other hand, ... RBs one weakness seems to be in dirty air. Aside from the obvious that must be why Max is so cutthroat on getting pole and building a 1st lap cushion every race. This is going to ...

TheGiantHogweed

Sainz proving he needs to be in a top car, Red Bull or Mercedes, he didn't deserve to lose his Ferrari seat, apparently Perez's floor was damaged which explains his poor performance so that doesn't exactly make things straight forward for saying Perez out. He doesn't do this well often enough to pr...
