2024 donald trump grand prix race thread

There's still plenty of races left, so the chances of him getting 2 more points is high. I don't know what happened to him this weekend but is racing was appalling I meant the odds of him actually getting banned which can be two different things. Yeah, they'll now bend over backward to avoid giving...

So happy for Lando. Looks like he made the right decision not going to partner Max. Never understood all the criticism he got for making that call. What he said made a lot of sense to me. Noone is beating Max at RBR. That should be obvious to anyone by now. Mclaren supposedly has a lot more upgrade...

Or he just likes trump, who cares

No penalty for Sainz then after damaging another car causing it to finish outside of the points. That is crazy. But it does show that the result of the impacts doesn't always decide on the penalty. Alonso got a huge penalty for what he did with Sainz while it was him that suffered, and Sainz got no...

Norris, Hamilton and gave a sarcastic vote to Magnussen for being genuinely awful and picking up about 6-7 penalties and somehow not getting black flagged

Great race from Hamilton as well, absolutely annihilated Russell, faster than Perez youd say even though his strategy was compromised by the brainiacs of Mercedes and has had to make a lot of tough overtakes

I think I'm wrong about Norris and verstappen. Verstappen just doesn't have the pace - but noris was very lucky. He was doing a worse job than his team mate until the safety car which was very lucky for him.

Norris was the quicker car once he was released by Perez boxing

FormulaFun

How has Magussen not been black flagged this weekend?

FormulaFun

Holy cow Norris might actually do it

Piastri over aggressive in defence yet again he clipped Sainz's car, coached by Webber, get yer elbows out.

Not really, Piastri had to move out the way of the classic Sainz out of control dive bomb

Norris could win it from here.

Dream on, Verstappen will fly past and Norris will not even bother to defend as usual I would wager

There is the SC, magnussen playing stupid games for stupid prizes?

Is it not a bit early to put Hamilton in mediums, 30 laps?

FormulaFun

Yes alonso outperformed by Stroll in quali - incoming retirement maybe

FormulaFun

Forgot about qualifying

Just seen turn 1 incident for the first time and for all the condemnation of Hamilton I don't see what he does massively wrong, alonsos already hitting stroll before Hamilton is anywhere near them and there's space up the inside which he uses. Norris unlucky but it is the risk of taking the outside ...

KMAG has made a fundamental mistake in admitting his intent, could be liable to a bigger penalties or action from stewards.

Should have just pretending he was making genuine attempts and all the gullable fools would have believed him

Pathetic sport to allow a driver to intentionally annihilate another drivers race because he's salty as f Hamilton took out three drivers in turn 1 and it wasn't even investigated. You make a perfectly reasonable point but on this occasion my sympathy is pretty limited. What is the relevance of wha...

At this point id give kevin a stop and go

Apply a penalty for his real race.

Or give him race ban, 2nd time this season already that he's intentionally been trying to collide with his rivals because he is too slow

FormulaFun

i don't know, but I almost like magnussen's tactics to help his team mate. It really works in terms of points for the team. Yes why would magnussen care about any penalties, they cpuld add 5 minutes to his finish time it makes not a blind bit of difference, but it should also not be allowed objecti...

Magnussen needs black flagging

He doesn't care anyway about 10 seconds, he's done the same in Saudi to protect Hulk

Hurry up and make the joker lap, how stupid is this

FormulaFun

10 seconds for cutting corner is a bit excessive, but probably ended up deserving it afterwards for driving off track and straight onto the side of Hamilton

What a crap track

Well Autosport/Motorsport are reporting Newey has now handed in his resignation and we could get an announcement as soon as this weekend. They're also suggesting he will have to stay in his role (not on gardening leave) until the start of 2025 at the earliest, which seems like it would be a bit awk...

Maybe it was Newey that was leaking the evidences to the press because of how unhappy he was about Horenrs actions towards her, and now he's been cleared he's leaving

If we look at social media - pretty standard way to understand someone's reach Hamilton's got 40m followers on instagram vs. Max's 12m and it's a similar story on twitter. I don't care about this stuff at all but marketing teams do, obviously. Verstappen's reknown outside of F1 is tiny i would say h...

There is not a single reason to contract a very expensive driver at the end of his career, no matter how good that driver once was or perhaps still is, unless that driver is better than both the drivers whom you currently employ. Everybody and their uncle knows this, but still there has to be an ex...

Please show me an excuse. This is getting tiring, it's the some old often repeated nonsense. A money excuse, Hamilton might be over aggressive.

This is a play by Horner and Newey to get rid of Marco and Verstappen clan. Newey leaves, Vestappens get worried about car development, run to another team. Marco loses his power without Verstappens, retires. Newey come back after a year of sabbatical (sailing around the world/whatever). Horner and...

If Verstappen went to Mercedes would he face such accusations of "disloyalty", "only in it for the money doesn't care about winning", "fair weather driver"? My guess would be no which I find telling.

Everyone who wants Max to “test” himself will get it soon enough, as the rumours are that he is joining Mercedes. I do wonder what the excuses will be when he inevitably turns Russell into another Albon. I'm sorry but who doesn't want to see Max go up against some other big names at a new team? Sur...
