In this case its Ocon fault I think
F1 2023 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
Red flag it for shits and giggles.
Probably not Perez fault the crash, but his fault that a Red Bull is fighting with an Alpine and a Haas
Tbf not Perez fault, but then he shouldn't be so far back to be pulled into that battle
Sort of feel like that’s on Ocon.
That wasn’t really Perez fault but I want to see someone more competitive in that car next year, this got 5 races to go and both titles are wrapped up.
So those softs lasted what, 7ish laps of racing?
Can we have all this carnage in the race tomorrow? This has been great!
Max 
If they were no safety cars we would be seeing tires flying out of the rims already
Max is just taking the piss now isn't he it's so easy for him
They'd be pitting after 8 laps
Yeah same, he should have backed out of that instead of ramming Hulk
RiP Oscar probably.
And yeah that crash wasn't on Checo. It's easy to forget how crazy Ocon is.

Big moment in Piastri's career
Come on Lando, get past Russell. Oscar Max Lando podium would be nice.
GG Oscar. Great recovery drives by Lewis and Max.
Albeit a sprint, Piastri is the real deal. Kept Max honest in the sprint.
Great race, really enjoyable. Nice swing from softs to mediums.
RB comms sound so genuine
Really enjoyed that
Well what have we learnt? Tyres that wear out = racing….
Well, as sprints go that was a really good one. Still don't like them, but I did enjoy that. And get in there Max!! What a driver. One of the best - incredible.
Awesome to see Piastri get the win, too. Really am a big fan of his. He's going to be special.

When the result has been a foregone conclusion for so long, I guess it's hard to have that genuine response. He's been the champion way before this weekend.
Maybe my memory betrays me but I think Schumi always went bonkers after every title.
Just different personalities I think. Clearly, Max was excited during his celebrations with the team when he got out of the car. He is quite deadpan, generally.
McLaren if they carry this onto next year, then Piastri and Norris could be a teammate battle to watch out for as they fight for podiums and wins more often.
Norris has got some fairly good strategy calls this year doubt it'll be the same if Piastri can match him more often in the races.

great for max to win his first world title.
Piastri has often had the upgrades a race later than Norris. Put the same car underneath them and Piastri looks stronger.
I hope there aren’t many safety cars tomorrow. Since I essentially lost 3 points due to missing the fecking picks deadline, I need about a smooth a race where people finish where they are meant to as possible. Somehow I know that ain’t happening.
fecking awful "sport" these days.
Used to watch it all the time but it's terrible now.
If they every do the indie car all in the same cars thing maybe I'll watch it again.

Those softs lasted around 4 laps
Even after the first safety car drivers on mediums were on par, and only needed one more lap to get the tempersture and they were quicker. Anyone who uses them at any point tomorrow is crazy. Track is slippery as feck, no wonder with two safety cars, and two mistakes by rookies.
Decent sprint, but can't believe anyone opted for softs with that on display. Also Ferrari shooting themselves in the foot losing both places against Hamilton instead of letting Leclerc go because he was obviously faster than Sainz and potentially could have hold Hamilton for one lap.
Congratulations to Max, deserved as expected!

got in work and it was busy and forgot all about the sprint race, is it worth watching ?
I thought it was really good personally
Yeah, it's not too long and lots of overtakes.
That has never been what is F1 is about. You're wasting your time posting about it. The only true shite things these days are terrible track selection and rules so confusing the organization confuses itself.
that was probably the best sprint i can recall. Great win for piastri. Though he makes mistakes. Safety car restart in a previous race against max and now against russell. Some question marks over Norris. Mistakes in qually for race and sprint. Mistake in the sprint race. Poor restarts after safety cars. Leave a huge gap for max to drive into. Pressure is on now they have a great car and he has a very talented teammate.
Shame mclaren start so far down the grid tomorrow. Gotta start the race on the medoums tomorrow then go hards and finish with softs when fuel loads are low (if fia insist on a three stop race).

yes mate. thats coming from someone who hates them.
This and the sprint race on RB Ring (so 2 of the 3 sprints so far) has produced some of the best racing of the entire season.
tyre offset helped alot this evening.
