Re: 2023 U.S. Grand Prix Race Thread

Seriously though what is with Norris, token effort Vs Max for the lead, and F1 online defence Vs Hamilton. Surely you would defend 1st as hard you can, and not compromise yourself when losing 2nd. he always races lewis hard but not max(will always wave max by) But it makes no sense, if he kept max ...

Hamilton had a fast car today there was no need to gift Verstappen the undercut, lack of belief.
merc pit stops probably cost him the win
How fast was his second one, he lost 1.1s on the first one, like I said it matters when it counts, strategy team and slow pitstops.
3.8 and 3.4

That's Verstappen's first poor meaningful session of the year.

I still think he'll win on Sunday.

I think Hamilton will be disappointed to be behind Norris but was better than his teammate all session.

Hoping Lewis can take the fight to Verstappen on perhaps one of his favourite tracks; the new floor might bring them a couple of tenths closer. James Allison estimated the new floor would be about a tenth max, according to a sky sports article. So I’m not expecting anything huge from Mercedes unles...

Rumour: As per AMuS, Perez had requested Red Bull to let him drive the RB19 spec which was there at the start of the season. He said in Spain there was a floor upgrade which made his driving style not suited to the car anymore. He has struggled to adapt to the upgraded RB19 ever since Spain. Red Bu...

If Hamilton is there for the taking then I don’t have a problem with Russell going for it. Russell is allowed strategies to get himself in front of Hamilton ...
