F1 2023 Season

[Ahmer Baig]

available tyres for the race: everything more or less as expected



(1xH and 1XM at Aston Martin are just scrubbed in. Same for Norris' mediums)

Not having a new hard or soft could cost Aston.

Max with 2 sets of Med and softs give him the advantage I think

 

[F-Red]

It'll be a one stop race most likely with medium/hard being the preferred compound choices.

Soft might come into play in the first stints as some teams gamble on the likely safety car.

 

[Massive Spanner]

Max will still win it, won't he?

 

[The Firestarter]

Max will still win it, won't he?

Depends if they tell Checo to let him pass or not. I wouldn't do it, would be very demoralising and not necessary in the grand scheme.

 

[The Hilton]

Max will still win it, won't he?

Most likely, he'll definitely be on the podium. The only driver he doesn't have a video game style speed advantage over is Checo, who if he's leading a one two he'll likely be told to switch positions

 

[F-Red]

Max will still win it, won't he?

I think so, his pace on the Friday practices was ridiculous and the straight line speed of the RB will mean he's probably going to be in contention for the lead before the first pit stops.

That said, Alonso with his elbows out might prove a bigger challenge for Verstappen than Perez.

Max will still win it, won't he?

I think so, barring a repeat of his Q2 problem.

 

[Massive Spanner]

Will Smith is such a bitch.

 

[Igor Drefljak]

The feck is this. Sounds like a group of 8 yr olds playing recorders in primary school

 

[Massive Spanner]

Wtf

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Worst Anthem ever

 

[Kazi]

Anyone decent interviewed on the gridwalk?

Lewis opting to start on the slower more durable hards.
Ferrari start on softs, bold choice.Top 6 on mediums.

 

[Jerch]

Most likely, he'll definitely be on the podium. The only driver he doesn't have a video game style speed advantage over is Checo, who if he's leading a one two he'll likely be told to switch positions

No way Checo will be told to change positions in that case.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Alonso leading into turn 1

 

[F-Red]

Some overtake by Stroll on Sainz on the outside of turn 13.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Alonso incorrect starting position.
Penalty coming up.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

5 second pen for Alonso

 

[United Hobbit]

Ffs more Red Bull luck

Although Perez will breeze past on DRS

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Easy for Perez

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Softs working well for Leclerc

 

[United Hobbit]

Come on let's have some excitement not a procession

Surprised Max hasn't made more ground

 

[Amar__]

I don't think Verstappen is winning this, but the podium is certain. Perez will win it easily probably.

Softs working well for Leclerc

Safety car would mean a lot to him with softs.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Come on let's have some excitement not a procession

Surprised Max hasn't made more ground

Was expecting Max to be top 10 by now, but doing OK.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Still think Max has a good chance of winning.
Lewis weaving on track, says Sky.

 

[Red Star One]

Cmon Charles

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Black and White Flag for Lewis. Driving Standards warning.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Lewis says grip sucks on the hards

 

[United Hobbit]

Surely RB won't tell Perez to get out the way for Max, he'll be too far ahead

 

[Kazi]

Perez has found his rocketship

 

[avgp_1]

Another extended test session for Mclaren

 

[United Hobbit]

So so easy for Max

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Easy for Max over Lewis, never a contest really

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Hards are not working on this track

 

[Ayush_reddevil]

This is a bit boring

 

[Amar__]

Sainz box, wtf?

This is a bit boring

It's quite fun race?

 

[Amar__]

Vertsappen will overtake Leclerc pretty soon too.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

This is a bit boring

Enjoying it to be honest, not boring.
