While not quite on the level of haas when Grosjean and magnussen didn't have their wheels attatched, but the pit crew, or some design issue with the wheel nuts at Sauber seriously needs looking at. Is that the 4th or 5th time they have messed up?

TheGiantHogweed

Sainz is doing incredibly well. However, I do think part of the reason why Sainz has looked better or close to Leclerc quite a bit over the past seasons is because Leclerc just isn't as good as people think he is. I don't think he's at the level of a top driver.

TheGiantHogweed

I just don't understand why they don't keep hold of tear offs - or at least the sport finding a simple way to do so.

TheGiantHogweed

Lucky for alonso there when for once, stroll had been doing the better job so far this weekend. Got him ahead of stroll.

TheGiantHogweed

since last season, Bottas hardly seems to be able to go 2 or 3 races since last season started without bad luck. This year, he's already had bad luck every race.

TheGiantHogweed

just hopeless from Sauber. Bottas made a solid start gaining places and has now lost it all. At least he has free air. These slow stops are happening every race with this team.

TheGiantHogweed

How unusual is this sort of issue? I can't remember the last time i saw a retirement with melted break disks due to a fire.

I think Verstappen's complaints and mistake were all related to this.

TheGiantHogweed

only just started watching. what happened with zhou? did he have to start from the pits?

TheGiantHogweed

sainz really impressive today. Alonso half a second off stroll certainly not a common sight! both slower than their Q2 times, so I don't think they were trying that hard. Danny Ric really is done. His deleted lap was still slower than Yuki's. why would you not try that hard in Q3? Alonso made a mis...

this new sky studio looks nice, but it is pretty stupid when you have a driver replay with the skypa controls on the left filling the screen with Chandhok's head, shoulders and hands waving about in and out of the screen. Surely this can't be the way they will keep doing things? It just doesn't look...

TheGiantHogweed

I think that is pretty smart by albon and williams. P11 is a reasonable place to start from and he can be put on a bold strategy tomorrow with fresh tyres.

TheGiantHogweed

has zhou also had a time deleted? he was 18th and now he's 19th even after ricciardo got knocked down to 18th.

TheGiantHogweed

great recovery from ocon there. Impressive that he got through

TheGiantHogweed

I think the problem for Sargeant is that he looks little improved from last year with rumour of Vowles being interested in him being replaced by Antonelli. This is why I find it unfair. He has looked better. Even after his technical issue in bahrain last race, he was just as quick as albon after he...

TheGiantHogweed

albon practising his track limits for the weekend....

TheGiantHogweed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k2yxG7VxFM Bottas really does seem to have changed a lot personality wise since he's been at alfa romeo. With his strange nude calendar as well as his new looks too! Not sure how keen I am on any of it though. His driving is I would say about the same as it was befor...

Williams don’t have a spare chassis following Albon’s big shunt in practice. From the tweet below looks like they’ll be using Sargeant’s car for Albon for the rest of the weekend. https://x.com/phortonf1/status/1771095697401446462?s=46&t=ogYVTvP780Kb_NbBode63w Not sure how I feel about that.

This below is what I wrote in the last races thread. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCQGvfbwwnw I have to say that it seems that Sargeant is not treated well at Williams. Being honest, he hasn't done that badly this year. He had issues in qualifying in Bahrain as well as issues in the race - and fr...

Which year was it that Alonso crashed and was pinned against the fence, he got very lucky that day, in the years before the halo was introduced.
2016 I think - he missed the next race because of it.

Yea it was 2016 and he just misjudged when Gutierrez started breaking for a corner.

TheGiantHogweed

I can't remember exactly, but didn't kvyat get really close to a ban at one point?

TheGiantHogweed

It's worth remembering that Grosjean didn't simply get a ban for his move in Spa in isolation. It was his fourth first lap crash of the season and the second time he'd crashed into cars alongside him on the way down to turn 1. I can't think of any single crash which deserved a race ban since. Gasly...

TheGiantHogweed

I've been thinking about this for several years now but never got round to creating a thread. Are there any occasions where you think a driver should have received a race ban since Grosjean got one? It could be cause by anything - such as a build up of too many penalty points. This one especially sh...

TheGiantHogweed

Most were pretty straight forward for me. Verstappen, Leclerc (Bearman had a great debut, but in no way out performed Charles), Russell, Piastri, Alonso, Albon, Yuki, and Hulk. I didn't vote for Alpine (Gasly out on the first lap) or Strake (didn't watch close enough to have an opinion). Yeah agree...

So much for Mercedes' 2024 hopes & positivity:

Which team was the worst? Something makes me think Sauber.

TheGiantHogweed

Red Bull light years ahead, not sure why mclaren and merc left norris and hamilton out I dont see in any scenario where that would be a good thing out. Seems ferrari is clear second best, shows what Gary Anderson knows after slating their car in preseason I thought the entire point of Pirellis stup...

TheGiantHogweed

Norris should have been penalized, stewarding is again luaghable. I think I need to see more regarding his starting position, but his defending on Hamilton should have had a penalty. It looked just as bad as what stroll did on bottas in Silverstone last year, which he got a 5 second penalty for. Ed...

TheGiantHogweed

Just read that Perez wasn't let out of the pits too soon by the team, he actually ignored the red light that his team continued to show as alonso was passing. In my opinion, this should be a drive through at the minimum. Ignoring a red light literally a few feet directly infront of you and then for...

TheGiantHogweed

When you see what a talent like Bearman can do after a single practice session it makes you realise how bad Stroll is in his 7th season. A very, very impressive debut. Easily as good as half of the field in Formula One desperately hanging on to their seats. Like I've said in one of my other posts, ...

TheGiantHogweed

i can't vote magnussen because of his messy driving that got him the penalties, but once he knew he had them, he just took advantage of making the most for his team mate and actually did some really good driving and defending from then on and is the main reason why his team mate (and team) has any p...

TheGiantHogweed

having always tried to follow Bottas's progress, the team in general just seemed to have shocking race pace on any tyre other than the midiums. As soon as zhou came out on fresh softs, he was pretty much matching Bottas, who was far slower than him for most of the race before hand, but I honestly th...

TheGiantHogweed

If hulkenberg gets points, you honestly have got to admit that a magnussen's tactics are somethign that had to happen, or else it is incredibly unlikely that hulkenberg would be in the points.

TheGiantHogweed

The mediums must be by far the best tyres this weekend, at least in the long run. Zhou looks to be about the same speed that he was on 40 lap old mediums.

TheGiantHogweed

how stupid is that. They literally film zhou's pitztop but don't show what the stop or total time was....

TheGiantHogweed

Those moves from norris looked very similar to stroll in the past when he got a penalty for weaving. I feel that should get a penalty.
