Re: A quick analysis of mercedes upgrades.

I hate to rain on your parade, but that was before the budget cap, where Mercedes could pour an endless amount of resources (money) into development. It isn't my parade as I'm not a Mercedes fan; just want closer racing, that's all. The budget cap was in place last year too and we saw Merc improvin...

Re: PF1 Forum teammate wars vote: Canada 2023

Hamilton should have beaten Alonso's ailing AM. Russell made an error but then fought like a lion to recover in a damaged car - Not what I think, but I can except that a few people might think something along those lines without having to accuse them of being disingenuous.

Not good on norris for deliberately slowing down other drivers in the pit lane entry. Yeah don't understand the votes for Norris on here; he tried something unsporting and got a penalty for it and came home with 0 points. Yet some think it is DotD worthy. I have not seen the manoeuvre but going del...

Hulk is under investigation for going too fast under a red flag.
3 places for speeding under the red flag after his P2 lap, so will start 5th.

Why did that take so long to red flag ffs? It was obvious a red flag was going to happen but they must have waited 45 seconds or so.
They were probably hoping he'd get it going again. I bet now they wish they'd waited another 45 seconds.

Max can't be touched, but I'm guessing the medium runners will try to stretch out their tires to the end or will they pit?
I think the Mercs will have to pit. Max probably won't want to until they do just to maintain track position. He likely will before the end for fastest lap though

Getting Honda on board would be great for Aston. Alonso will be 45 by then. If he's still driving in F1 it will be almost a medical miracle.
If he sees a potentially title challenging car on the horizon the miracle will be if they manage to pry him out of the seat before then :)

Nobody is pitting for fastest lap with that tight a gap. A pit stop +5-6 secs safety margin seems to be the norm Look very silly if a wheel nut gets stuck for 2-3 seconds. True.
