Re: 2023 Austrian Grand Prix FP & Qualy/Sprint Thread

A revenge pass from Verstappen after being angry about Perez forcing him onto the grass, so you can just dive bomb a corner force the other driver off the track and that's ok by the stewards, it just carries on, we can't be penalising Verstappen. Perfectly fine overtake. First lap and it's wet. No ...

Horner sounds like they're losing patience with Perez. That’s not what I heard. Sounded like he was annoyed about today, but no plans whatsoever to replace Perez.

Mercedes look like they have an edge of Aston Martin in terms of pace now. If Russell gets up to speed and Lance continues to underperform then Mercedes are going to overcome Aston Martin for 2nd in the WCC.

Re: Alonso & Verstappen on almost equal stats

For me, Alonso's GOATness is in his longevity.

How this guy manages to turn up and perform like an apex predator to the best of his abilities so consistently despite being in his twilight years as an athlete never fails to impress me.

Truly an ATG.

Re: 2023 Monaco Grand Prix Free Practice & Qualifying Thread

Perez missed a huge chance here. In a superior car, Verstappen looked vulnerable and only the super-DRS straightline speed bailed him out. Perez could have grabbed that pole. Perez is losing his early season momentum already. I'm expecting him to overdrive and regularly choke now while Verstappen w...

Aston and Fernando had roughly a 0.35s deficit to Red Bull in this race who were pushing throughout the race.

That's less than I thought. Maybe Monaco that gap can come down a lot more given the nature of the track.

Why didn't Perez push harder on newer tyres? Anthony Davidson said that Max was given updates on the gap to Perez all the time while Perez had largely radio silence. Surely if Perez was aware of the full situation he could have driven to a certain delta and thus have had a larger gap over Max when M...
