Re: 2025 Austrian Grand Prix Race Thread

Terrible driving from both Norris and Piastri. Yet these are the two drivers fighting it out for the WDC. Not going to be a vintage year by any measure. Disagree with that strongly. I dont think either are properly elite tier drivers, but they drove well and giving a title fight. I think it comes d...

So getting the delta on the first pit stop was pointless He had 4 lap fresher tyres, should have given him a 0.1 a lap at advantage least + he thought he was quicker, so 0.2 a lap quicker at least .

One of the many reservations I had about seeing this movie was that Pitt was the star.

I've always found him...

Re: 2025 Austrian Grand Prix Free Practice & Qualifying Thread

I think with Norris and Piastri so close together, there is a very plausible alternative explanation, namely that the car is very quick and perhaps quicker than the results suggest. I'm looking at the gap to Piastri rather than the position on the timing sheets. It's very unusual for an FP1 rookie ...

Just got back from seeing it. Oh it's bad. Obviously the footage of the racing is OK, but we can see that for real every other weekend. The dialogue is cringe inducing and the acting awful.

After what happened on Sunday, I think McLaren should impose some rules for the two drivers.

He's the only t...
