Re: 2024 Chinese Grand Prix Race Thread
Not sure what was wrong with Hamilton. He was good in Sprint race but in today's race he was competing in the midfield. Midfield is getting more interesting, Alpine seems to have better pace this weekend. But I think Bottas and Hulk were the best among midfield drivers. Ricciardo has a good record ...

Some spicy comments from Ricciardo - “I slowly started to calm down and then I was told what Lance thinks of the incident,” he stated. “Apparently, I'm an idiot and it was my fault, so that made my blood boil because it's clear as day and it's also behind a safety car. “The only thing you've got to...

Re: Ocon vs Gasly
What’s going on here then? It was as good as even last season (with Gasly on a slight edge on points) and most expected Gasly to kick on and beat Ocon this season. But it’s currently 5-0 to Ocon in qualifying (5-1 if you include sprints). Ocon has been the better driver in races too. I think Ocon h...

Frustrating to see Alonso and Hamilton not even try to race Verstappen. Neither of the moves he made on them were gimmies and overtaking was hard today.

I assume Tsunoda has never driven this track before, definitely not in an F1 car. Oh yeah...good point. But it's true also that Ricciardo has gotten a new chassis too.

Ricciardo having the edge over Tsunoda which could be either because Ricciardo does well at China OR because he has got a new chassis.

Re: Is Hamilton ruining Max’s legacy?
I agree, but the trouble is we don’t know all the relevant parameters. We see leaders regularly saving tyres and engines when out in front.
