Re: 2024 Australian Grand Prix Race Thread

I just think they are inconsistent with what they give out. I think he should get a time penalty, but not 20 seconds. 20 second penalty for Alonso. Drops to P8. Wow, that's a far more major penalty than has been handed out recently. The stewards said: 'This season, the FIA Formula 1 penalty guideli...

If someone (presumably Sainz) can get ahead of Verstappen then I'm hopeful that we can have a race. If Verstappen leads through turn one then it's done without some strange circumstances.

I'd say Saniz because I don't think he will be available. Alonso if no deal with Aston comes into it , however if they offer a deal on current pace why would he leave them for Merc
He might think Merc are the better bet for 2025, or perhaps more importantly 2026.

I seem to remember several on here defending Vettel at the time of the Baku incident with Hamilton (which was 2017 btw). Boggles the mind and for the most part he was excellent in 2017.

He only really started his consistent mistakes/crashing in 2018.
