Re: 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix Free Practice & Qualifying Thread
The thing about Max's moaning is that he has already won everything, if he was a few points behind in the drivers championship, as with any of the drivers, he would be forgetting all that and saying bring it on (for the points) He's moaning about all the BS that goes with this race, not the race.

Sainz's car took a ton of damage. This is what Vasseur said: "We damaged completely the monocoque, the engine, the battery. I think it’s just unacceptable."

Re: 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix Free Practice & Qualifying Thread
Read on Reddit that one user who knows someone working with one of the F1 teams has said FP2 also may get cancelled. Not official now but may become so soon. What a bummer of a start to the hyped Las Vegas Grand Prix. Also this: 1725389551059796066 Well thats day 1 literally down the drain then.

6 km of track means a lot of drain covers to check & I guess they'll need to check them all before clearing the track for FP2.

Checo who had good pace throughout Q1 & Q2 got real unlucky. Even the RB team waited till eternity to send him out for the final run even when rain was possible anytime. He probably was the only driver that suffered because of Piastri's spin & the yellow flag in S3. However, today is another opport...

I wouldn’t mind this ruling by the stewards if they didn’t imply you could not stop in the pitlane in the first place. Why say now it’s ok?!

Re: 2023 Mexican Grand Prix Free Practice & Qualifying Thread
Verstappen has a valid point that now that there is a minimum lap time, only way to create a gap to next car is to do it by going slow on pit exit. So he may not get a penalty if they can show that he only slowed down just enough to crate a gap to the next car. This is basically moving the build up...
