Sainz is in a slight predicament imo.... I wonder if Mercedes is worth going to considering their yearly struggles to understand their car. Red Bull seat no. 2 is the sole seat in the top teams made for a no.2 driver as per position in the team. Even if Sainz is given an equal opportunity, getting ...

The RB beater! Not hard to beat an RB with a ferrari at all ;) most drivers beat at least one of them. Maybe harder beating a red bull, but not so much when it isn’t verstappen driving it and when the ferrari is arguably as good too. Well, there is only one driver who has beaten RB to a GP victory ...

Did Maranello let the wrong driver go for 2025?? Carlos has beaten Charley in both races that he contested this year. Charles said today (Australian GP) that Carlos was faster all weekend. It will be interesting to watch the team mate battle at Team Red this year. Sainz always had periods where he ...

Sainz just upped his claim on the best seat available for 2025 with today's win in Australia.

Not sure if that will be Merc, Aston Martin, or a long shot at RBR.

RB should hire him. Evidently, he is the one who brings the win home if Verstappen can't.

I'm glad magnussen gets a point as he certainly wasn't much slower than Hulkenberg and yet got given team orders. I actually don't think Hulkenberg will have been able to pass with the very small pace advantage he had.

Plus Hülkenberg benefitted from a VSC pit stop.

Another lottery winner in F2 ... Maloney doing good again, Aron and Antonelli keep showing talent, Hauger blowing a huge chance ... ... and the big pre-season favourites Martins and Bearman trailing the super talented Rafael Villagomez both in the race and in the championship! :lol: :lol: :lol: But ...

Paolo_Lasardi

Beganovic is really good on his day. Can he get some consistency in his performances?
Not sure yet what to make out of Fornaroli.

Paolo_Lasardi

No one mentioning Stanek weaving all over the track keeping faster cars behind which created pandemonium behind him and the collision between Verschoor and Antonelli, no interest from the stewards, put slow drivers at the front who then defend like crazy, that's entertainment and he wins the race. ...

Sainz for victory!

Paolo_Lasardi

Sainz for victory! 8) What a comeback(from surgery) that would be. Sainz who seems more comfortable with the car is the one told to leave the team at the end of the year. Well, he always had periods where he looked to be on Leclerc's level - but never made them last so far. So, it is much too early...

Paolo_Lasardi

Two entertaining races in F2 and F3 today. F2: strong performance by Hauger. Hadjar rightfully penalized, Bearman too, especially since he escaped penalties in two more cases. Did Verschoor touch Antonelli or not? Bad luck for Aron who was quick again. F3: strong performances by Stenshorne and Lindb...

Perez got the same size penalty for getting in the way as Tsolov did in F3 for causing a deliberate high speed crash that put his competitor in the barrier. Absolute joke.

Did he also get license points?

Paolo_Lasardi

You wreck your car to a unrepairable extent - YOU sit - not your teammate - be that Albon or Verstappen. The old 'You break it, you bought it' rule. Its strange how no one sees the bigger picture, how come a team valued close to $1B doesn't have a spare tub, Andretti were refused entry because they...

Given that this from F3 today as just given a 3 place grid penalty I doubt we will be seeing any race bans anytime soon.

It is crazy, really.

Paolo_Lasardi

Tsolov deserved a race ban for that maneuvre. This is getting out of hand after the Spanish F4 incident at the end of last season, stuff like this deserves sterner action. On the actual racing, Antonelli showing what he is all about on a track that he has never driven on. All through the session lo...

Paolo_Lasardi

So the rookie who has never driven on the track before ends up P3 also unlike several other drivers including his teammate was able to keep his car on track not spreading gravel all over the place. Antonelli finished 6 tenths quicker than his teammate Bearman but to be fair to Bearman he would have...

Paolo_Lasardi

Mini 3 tenths clear of the field, 6 tenths clear of his 2 teammates, now he's showing something. Dunne weaved in front of Meguetounif ruining his lap so Meguethonif side swipes Dunne into the wall smashing his car and bringing out the red flag. I can see both drivers being penalised, I expect Megue...

Imagine Albon totalling the second chassis too..

That would be a nice story!

Paolo_Lasardi

Williams don’t have a spare chassis following Albon’s big shunt in practice. From the tweet below looks like they’ll be using Sargeant’s car for Albon for the rest of the weekend. https://x.com/phortonf1/status/1771095697401446462?s=46&t=ogYVTvP780Kb_NbBode63w Not sure how I feel about that.

Impressive pole by Hauger, very impressive performance by Antonelli. By contrast, the two pre-season favorites keep struggling.

KMag was clearly messing about because of his double penalty, it's curious how Tsunoda is labelled as the dangerous unstable driver but he was the one making sure that both cars survived through all those melees, I don't believe that KMag cared that much. You believe, accuse, and speculate - but yo...

Paolo_Lasardi

I'm curious to know what you saw? Magnussen was quick enough to pass Tsunoda (all be it illegally) before he started his go slow. It's not like Ricciardo was doing anything with the car either. Well, I saw Tsunoda flying by Magnussen with DRS help on the straight but Magnussen re-catching him into ...

Paolo_Lasardi

Almost like it's hard to overtake a faster car even if that car is driving slowly in the sections of track where overtaking isn't possible. :?: Tsunoda overtook on the straights, Magnussen fought back into the corners. I thought the straights were where it is easier to overtake with Tsunoda having ...

It was shown that he cut the chicane, gaming the system is short for weak and ineffective stewarding. I understand they've only just introduced the 10 second penalties but they can't be allowing drivers to be able to carry on racing with 20 second or 30 second penalties, there's a point where penal...
