Re: 2024 Chinese Grand Prix Race Thread
Not sure what was wrong with Hamilton. He was good in Sprint race but in today's race he was competing in the midfield. Midfield is getting more interesting, Alpine seems to have better pace this weekend. But I think Bottas and Hulk were the best among midfield drivers. Ricciardo has a good record ...

Re: Official Valtteri Bottas Thread
I don't believe in such things, but it almost does seem like bottas is cursed with bad luck throughout last season and this one. He vertually never gets a chance to stand out and when he looks solid this year, the team mess up or he had reliability or damage issues. Bottas and Hulkenberg both looked...

Norris - probably his most consistent drive I can remember Could I suggest 2 awards, Driver of the Day - Norris Dork of the Day - Magnusson The problem for me is Magnusson wins his prize just about every race 😋 he's been fine in at least 2 or 3 of the races this season, and was clearly better than ...

Re: 2024 Chinese Grand Prix Race Thread
crofty saying zhou has put on a really good showing. He fell to 19th near the start from starting 16th. Then was rather underwhelming the whole race and is now 14th which is only 2 places higher than he started - and he's obviously been aided by Ricciardo and Bottas retirement as well as Stroll and ...

Re: 2024 Chinese Grand Prix Race Thread
Ok, after viewing the replay, I think that will be a racing incident. Alonso was the main cause of the cars bunching up together. Stroll could have backed off more, but no way woulf he have expected this to happen, so I don't think it is an obvious penalty. Magnussen howerver, it certainly should b...

Re: 2024 Chinese Grand Prix Race Thread
perez already 10 seconds behind verstappen. Wasn't he already 20 seconds behind before the safety car earlier? If there were no incidents, I feel that this will have been one of those weekends where Perez will have been a good 40+ seconds behind verstappe.

They both spun they both survived. My point being is that Sainz will not have had the time to progress further if the clock had kept going. I did try to make that point. You did but I don't think it's either accurate or relevant. There was still nearly 7 minutes on the clock. Even with the minute o...

Re: 2024 Chinese Grand Prix FP & Qualy/Sprint Thread
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.
