I still don't get how Russel got so much time before/after that last stop in front of Leclerc.
 
And Perez messing up my prediction of one of the only people I had right (Gasly in 10th but Stroll has penalty...)
 
Qatar should build indoor air conditioned F1 track, not like they cannot afford it.

Such a dead crowd.
 
How is it possible that Mclaren improved so much? They were literally the worst car in the first race of the season, and shite in next few races too, and they are second best car 10 races after. How is it possible that no one else caught them and copied what they did? And what exactly did they do?

The car they raced with at the start of this season was last seasons car. The car they have now is what they should of had at Bahrain.
 
Piastri comes across as very likable, wasn't sure about him after the Alpine situation but have really warmed to him
 
They should let them change out those hot suits before doing the podium they'd still be in team kit

Yeah thought the same when McLaren went through that whole mess but it looks like it was worth it for both parties.
 
Copied Red Bull.

But if you cast your mind back to March 2022 it was only McLaren and Red Bull that went with pull-rod suspension. And maybe that's made it easier for them to effectively copy.
It'll be interesting to see how much Haas move forward when they bring their RB inspired car next race.

I didn't realise they changed the entire car.

Yeah, if their suspension was similar to Red bull, then it was easier to copy the aerodynamics.

Well it's not fair to say that since Aston literally has one of the most important people who designed Red Bull and they went copy route mid last season and it went terribly wrong. You simply have to give credit to McLaren because they deserved it.

Basically McLaren raced non competitive car in first races because they figured the way they want to go to late in needed extra time to develop it. Zac Brown said as much at the start of the season.

The jump seems extraordinary simply because of how bad the car at the start of the season was because they didn't wanted to waste any more time or resources on it.
 
Watching Sky just now was a bit unusual. A lot of Lewis defending and trying to minimize it ("one of the best at wheel to wheel racing", "he basically never makes mistakes like that" etc.) Dont get me wrong - I think it's good Lewis apologized ,media trained or not, and Sky by doing that maybe taking some online vitriol's winds out of people's sails - I just hope they ll offer the same courtesy the next time a driver does something like it that they may not like as much.
 
Another day of breaking multiple records for Max.

Think he also managed the Grand Chelem as the lap Albon led he pitted so Max probably passed the line first and technically led that lap also.

Other than that that race looked brutal for the drivers. Most of them where fecked after the race.
