Re: 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix Race Thread
I think I heard someone saying this is Lewis' worst start to the season since he entered the sport Controversial opinion, but perhaps as Lewis is leaving the team this year they are putting all their effort into George now, same as they did for Nico in 2016. They put all their efforts into Nico in ...

Re: 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix Race Thread
You can just use both surely. It's a bit ridiculous not to penalise a driver everyone very clearly saw move just because the sensor said he didn't. Although I could definitely see an argument for not penalising the sort of thing Norris did as he gained no advantage and didn't do anything unsafe. so...

Prema and especially Bearman bounced back in a dramatic fashion, that kind of movement from one end of the field to the other (between consecutive race weekends) we don't see in F1.

Could Antonelli suffer Vandoorne's fate if he's fast tracked to F1? Has someone followed both of their junior careers and can comment how they compare? IIRC Vandoorne was not nearly as young as Antonelli would be next year.

Re: Hamilton vs Leclerc
I have always felt Leclerc is a bit overrated and wouldn't count out Lewis on either Saturdays or Sundays, of course it's hard to estimate how long it will take for him to adapt to the new car.
Voted Equal on Sat and Sun but early in the season Leclerc should have the advantage.

When Hamilton joined Mercedes in 2013 many thought it was a bad move. I wonder if Hamilton has seen something we haven't or he has the confidence to turn things around. He's even getting some folks from Mercedes to Ferrari to help Ferrari reach the summit. Newey to Ferrari, you heard it here first.
