Re: F1 Gossip/Rumour/Inside news Thread

Given current situation it wouldn’t surprise is this season’s championship is cut short 2 or even 3 races. Businesses big and small are putting travel restrictions in place for a suite of Middle Eastern countries, and governments and businesses are also putting advice/restrictions in place for the U...

I think Piastri has been faster than Norris for most of the race and Norris is unable to make an impression on Verstappen. Is Piastri already in the process of surpassing Lando... There is nothing between them in both qualifying and race now. McLaren missed a potential opportunity to at least chall...

Re: 2025 Australian Grand Prix Free Practice & Qualifying Thread

Doohan had been ahead of Gasly pretty much all weekend up until Q2. Unfortunate that he was forced to lift due to Hamilton’s spin. We’ll never know whether he would have made it to Q3, but he was improving on the lap and had a decent chance. Not a bad start given the position he’s been put in.

Re: Qatar Grand Prix 2024 Free Practice, Sprint & Qualifying Thread

Perez to the journalists seems so confident & bullish that he'll be in Red Bull in 2025. If he's content exiting in Q1 every race to make a mockery of himself, so be it. . I'm more content with Perez failing to show the performance that was obvious even last year than I am with a four time WDC fund...

In an ideal world, Norris should lead into turn 1 & Piastri should pass Verstappen to hold him up & try to keep this for the race. This way it will be a boost for the WDC & WCC title hopes for McLaren. Norris has to each race finish ahead of Verstappen & try to keep as many cars between himself & V...

Norris & Piastri should be instructed by the team before the race that both of them should make sure Verstappen passes neither of them.

I haven’t been this uncertain after a Max pole since 2021, my impression is that McLaren was a touch quicker yesterday and they are very kind on the tyres.
