Re: 2023 Belgian Grand Prix Race Thread

This used to be one of the highlights of the season. Todays highlight will be watching Max slice through the top 5 and into the lead before lap 6. He'll then get the pipe and slippers out and still build up a 30+ second lead. The other teams would be able to play catch up in days gone by but the co...

Re: 2023 British Grand Prix Race Thread

The only thing stopping Max today is reliability. The Red Bull looks bombproof though so that's pretty unlikely.
Please Horner, sack Perez and get some competition in the other car!

Re: How many GPs will Red Bull win this year?

Without a double DNF Red Bull will win 23 races.
The enormous DRS advantage will see them through the field even when they qualify out of position or have poor starts etc.

Re: 2023 Bahrain Grand Prix Race Thread

My main conclusion from the Bahrain GP is that the season is already wrapped up. Red Bull have a big enough advantage to win every race this season. Max will win 18-20 races because Perez isn't up to the job. They'll lap the whole field a few times this year. The cost cap has ensured that no other t...

Re: How do you feel about the Red Bull penalty for breaching the budget cap?

Lets be honest here. The reduced wind tunnel time for Championship position seems to have little or no effect on the teams on track performance. I'm guessing they just condense the program.

Re: Predict the pecking order for Bahrain qualifying

The Mercedes looks an absolute dog to drive. If Mercedes get in the top 5 in qualifying I'd be really surprised.
The Redbull looked like it was glued to the track. Ferrari just behind.
