F1 2023 Season

Stupid call from AM with that choice of slick tyres. Alonso would have been all over the back of Verstappen
 
Gasly is ahead of Sainz, amazing stuff. Tsunoda the only one who is keeping his place today apart from the first two.
 
Verstappen's lost so many monaco gp's, he hell bent now on leaving his mark on every wall.
 
So, basically Mercedes have quicker race car this year than Ferrari easily. Not qualifying wise though. Even Alpines are somewhere there, they have more podiums than Ferrari this year.

Very frustrating year as a Ferrari fan. They are arguably somewhere between 4th- 5th best car on the grid.
 
Pretty boring race apart from a bit of rain that spiced it up for a short while.
Max was never in danger of not winning, Alonso a decent 2nd and Ocon with a cracking 3rd.
Ferrari being Ferrari .
Merc's looked better than previous races, but FFS both of them are such moaners, Lewis moaning the track was dangerous and Russell waning to be let though on Lewis, just fecking drive.

Aston Martin and Mercedes separated by a single point in the constructors. Poor Alonso is carrying that team.

well... on to a (hopefully) proper race in Catalunya.
 
Muted celebrations at AM.

AM will be wondering for a long time what if about that brutal dry tyre call. When you have your shot you take it.
 
I do rate Leclerc, but it's clear to me that he just isn't in the elite bracket. To be fair, there aren't many on the grid that are, but it just feels like his season hasn't even started yet. Just another meh race from him and the team.

Ferrari are not blameless here of course, and I think his contract is up next year, so it'll be interesting to see what he does. He just seems exasperated with them at times
 
Good news is there's now a run of 6 of the best tracks on the calendar in the next 2 months. Not a shitty street track in site.

Yep. Was looking at the schedule and we have a nice run of tracks. There are too many street tracks, IMO. We need to bin some of them off

He’s the best qualifying driver on the grid, I think that’s clear. But he’s never won a race where he’s not been on pole. Just doesn’t do it in the clutch situations and makes too many mistakes. He’s a great driver but unlikely to win anything at Ferrari.
