Really get the sense that the 'falling off the cliff' narrative of these Pirelli tyres is overdone. As long as you manage them a lot, they don't seem to really drop off for a very, very long time. They explode before they fall off the cliff And how long was it since they last exploded? Any time the...

Mclaren could have shot themselves in the foot here to Ferrari - that's a lot of time Piastri and co need to catch to Leclerc?

Schumacher forever#1

Not taking anything away from Lewis, it was a great drive and a hard fought win but I do wonder sometimes if the preferred result is discussed pre-race at the drivers meetings, today seems like a dream result, similar to when Carlos one the race a few days after an appendectomy and I sure there hav...

Was it the team who put him on softs, or did Lando make the choice? Honestly I think it was somewhat on Mclaren to say to him that mediums made sense. They seem to have a small habit of placing too much reliance on what the drivers think. The long radio call on whether to cover Hamilton or Verstapp...

Schumacher forever#1

Something most people on here have said already, many times; Norris is not at the same level as Verstappen and Hamilton, especially when the pressure is on. Piastri must be awful so Piastri would have won the race today had McLaren not made him stay out and double-stacked instead. Agree but you’re ...

Schumacher forever#1

It should have been a McLaren 1-2. Yes, absolutely; first stupid call was not double-stacking in the pits for inters, second one was putting Norris on softs. How they get paid millions to be there with all the data and miss what someone sitting at home watching TV can see is beyond me. Was it the t...

Norris has now had the car to win about 6 GPS this season and he's managed to win one.... What does it tell us?

Fairytale ending for Lewis

Terrible call from Mclaren/Norris

Schumacher forever#1

Lando had a pretty good race all things considered. Will give him my vote

Schumacher forever#1

Makes no sense to me why we have track limits there on turn 6 (?) - the gravel should be the 'limit'

Schumacher forever#1

Now Mclaren completely missing their chance with verstappen about to overtake Russell

Schumacher forever#1

WHY ARENT MCLAREN PITTING AHHH

Schumacher forever#1

Come on, do something

Schumacher forever#1

great to see alonso and aston martin on the second row

Schumacher forever#1

Missed that Alonso got a penalty til now. Very confused. Is the art of slowing down in a corner to reduce the car behind’s momentum dead? Or is it just stewards bashing Alonso for the sake of it again?

Schumacher forever#1

What’s up with that pit stop from VER? It looked like he barely used 10% of the life of his tyres

Does it matter that the sprint will crown the WDC? It’s not like we’re in a close championship or anything.

I think it's nice to see it happen live.

Something I'll be giving a miss to since I've work tomorrow.

Schumacher forever#1

I just really don’t get how a team that focuses on team strategy and not a particular driver manages to never split strategies.

Schumacher forever#1

It's difficult for me to have too much of an argument against Red Bull giving Verstappen the undercut. Can anyone really imagine him not breezing past on track anyway? From Red Bull's pov why not let it happen nice and clean in the pits. Sky, and in particular Bernie, seem to want to create drama o...

Did they change the rule on wet weather tyres? I thought as long as race officials declare it’s a wet race, drivers don’t need to pit for two distinct dry tyres. Now it seems you have to use two distinct soft tyres if you did not use wet tyres.

Schumacher forever#1

Ham still a second a lap behind Norris

Ham has lost so much time during that pit stop phase

As Hamilton just asked, how???

Schumacher forever#1

Last two runners with quickest laps. Might have had the best track conditions - could be a surprise yet from Norris on second run

Schumacher forever#1

Why are they on the hard tyres? Another gimmick to add spice is it?

The only way this makes sense for both parties is if they are giving Ricciardo a trial run for the 2nd Red Bull seat in 2024. Especially if they value Lawson.

I think the same.

Schumacher forever#1

But you didn't? Verstappen and Verstappen. Alonso puts on inters on his first stop and he wins That was all commentator hype. Max was 8 seconds in front and never in danger. One thing I did like though was Max saying 'INTERS' when the team let him know what Alonso went on to. No discussion no debat...

I'm sorry but is this Bernie all that she's meant to be cracked up to be? Haven't paid attention to much of the weekend, but earlier she made the comment about the Red Bulls waiting four minutes at the pitlane for SP3 in order to cool down the tyres? Surely they could just remove them from the tyre ...

Schumacher forever#1

My initial reaction to the sprint qualifying is that apart from the slightly increased jeopardy it’s not that different from normal qualifying. I’d like them to make the last session one lap only. Agreed. Also find it quite annoying to have so many sessions to watch over a weekend. Feel like you ca...

Schumacher forever#1

I didn’t think she was great in all honesty.

Schumacher forever#1

Just on the race last weekend, I do think Alonso held back quite a bit. Tyre management was very good and I think he probably could have attacked the cars in front of him much earlier rather than saving himself for later on (given he pit only a lap or two later than Ham IIRC (my stream cut out at so...

Relax guys it's just one race. Agreed, I feel there’s a much higher expectation for F1 to deliver now that it has a massive fan base of, let’s say, inexperienced fans. Many don’t remember when the season was over before testing happened with how far ahead Mercedes used to be. Field spread is super ...

I'm shocked Stroll is being allowed to drive. He can't even get himself out of the car.

The guy is feeling the pressure if someone steps in his car

Schumacher forever#1

Just reading the headline timetable, and the field spread looks incredibly narrow. Any moderate sandbagging would jump a car from outside of the top ten to 4th
