F1 2023 Season

Shouldn't be allowed to change tyres on a red flag simple. That's just ruined Russell's race

Max will win from here now, as he was always going to do anyway
 
I want to see the pov of the Alpine I think who had to drive through the gravel flying everywhere. Lucky Albon didn’t roll more onto the track. Did well to drive himself forward a bit as well.
 
In my view if you red flag after using the safety car, there’s no reason to not revert positions to whatever they were when the safety car started.

Then if you allow tyre changes at least no one wins or loses.

Overall you shouldn’t be allowed to change tyres at all in red flags but that’s another debate.
 
FFS Red Flag for Gravel? Thought it was for the wall, sport just become more of a joke every week.
 
Honestly, this is terrible for Mercedes. Verstappen will eat Hamilton alive on the restart, and Alonso is back in the game.

Yeah. The only chance Mercedes had was by playing some kind of DRS shenanigans to keep Russell towing Hamilton.

But my sense is they’d have fecked themselves fighting each other anyway.
 
Leclerc simply can’t catch a break.

Also Max on the inside, assuming a standing restart. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Max in the lead come turn 3.
 
It's a joke of a sport these days. Is it actually even a sport when races are won or lost by fake overtakes (DRS) or random safety cars/red flags?

I don't know. I've been following it since the mid nineties and I'm starting to struggle to stay interested
 
More fun in 9 laps here than on the previous 2 races, why you moaning :(
 
Monaco GP 1999 it's on YouTube if anyone wants to watch by the way, this FIA panel would have had a panic attack as there was cars off left right and centre and a marshall almost getting run over, but guess what no SC at all.
 
Honestly I’d have sent Hamilton out in softs, and then have fresher hard or medium tyres for the rest of the race after 15-20 on the softs. Feel like he will be eaten up now anyway.

Don't think so. The Red Bull has issues with getting temperature in the tyres on this track. Mercs were better at that during qualifying as well. It's probably why Max had so little grip at the start. Wouldn't be surprised if Alonso overtakes him :lol:
 
And that's the race done.... AM looks off it today, could be a decent weekend for Merc in terms of points though.
 
RB with DRS proving they’re in an entirely different formula to the rest
 
The pace of that red bull is an absolute cheat code. He pulled out 2 seconds in what, half a lap?
 
Russell looks quick. Alonso is going to be under extreme pressure on the next lap.
