Re: 2025 British Grand Prix Race Thread

I've not seen this mentioned anywhere but one thing that did raise a question in my mind was the safety car deployment of the rain. As the cars were following the safety car around I said to myself I said "Jezza, why could this not have been done under a VSC"? To me, a safety car need only to be de...

Re: 2025 British Grand Prix Race Thread

Just saying - Sauber have outscored Red Bull in the last 4 Grand Prix (35-29). Ive said this previously also, Red bull are in big trouble if Max leaves I think they're already in big trouble. Fallows left in 2021. Newey gone, Marshall gone, Wheatley gone, Courtney gone, plus others. Verstappens jus...

Re: 2025 British Grand Prix Race Thread

I was expecting much closer race, it was easy 1-2 for Mclaren. Amazing result for Hulk as well. Max for some reason after SC was not much better than midfield teams. Leclerc and Yuki had another shocker. The McLaren is just too good at moment ,even in the last race while others are trying to contro...

Re: 2025 British Grand Prix Race Thread

Piastri is a little unlucky today. He had a big lead wiped out with the SC, and whilst I think the penalty call is probably right, I can see why it happened from his perspective - he scrubbed too much speed though. I think 10s is on the harsh side. Been a lot of chat about Russell doing similar rec...

Bone head of the day goes to Piastri. That dumb safety car move cost him the race. Considering what's on the line & the race position he was in, totally unnecessary, totally stupid.

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 .

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 ...
