Hamilton my get a penalty for an unsafe release.
F1 2024 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
Big effort from Perez. Only 1 second behind.
It was pretty grim what happened
Yawn Max is getting pole isn't he
who to blame, Lewis for not noticing/careless or the pit crew for not moving it
Perez over second down.
It can't be on the driver , the engineer gave him go ahead. It's on the pit crew.
I would agree with that.
Both Lewis and Max under investigation after the session.
Lewis for the unsafe release , Max for going to slow in the pit lane.

La Baguette...Le Croissant... LECLERC
Ffs Piastri
Means Russell can get in the way again like last weekend

Not the best qualifying, but a very good lap from max
Leclerc took his car off road , lots of damage I would think.

McLaren will hopefully be smart tomorrow and tag team Max, split your strategies and go for the win.
Oscar Piastri who has exceeded track limits on his final flying lap, and drops from third to seventh.

Oscar's penalty very very harsh, I dont think it was outside track limits.
0.4 for 1min lap is..a lot. I expected much closer results. Can't believe there's also such a huge gap between teammates, Perez is defying logic. Put Hulkenberg in that Red Bull and he'll be second, probably.
Wow seems like Max took Miami as a reason again to go apocalyptic on the rest of the grid. About half a second on a track as short as Austria is kind of insane.
Why. Is he not supposed to contest the lead?
Race at 2pm UK time tomorrow right?
Big gap for Max on such a short track, seems they had a lot more info to tweak the car but the way Max just drove back past Lando without DRS in the sprint was just as ominous as the large quali gap.
yeee
Alonso stunned by stewards' decision in Austria: 'I just don't get it':
- Fernando Alonso expressed disagreement with the stewards' decision to penalize Nico Hulkenberg during the sprint race in Austria:
- Hulkenberg received a ten-second penalty and two penalty points for an aggressive move on Alonso at turn three.
- The incident occurred while they were battling for 14th place, away from points-scoring positions.
- Alonso believes the penalty was unjust, implying it was an unfair decision by the stewards.
- This incident adds to Alonso's previous criticisms of stewarding decisions in the 2024 Formula 1 season, reflecting his outspoken stance on perceived unfair penalties in racing incidents.
"It was too optimistic for sure, but I probably disagree with the penalty points again. You can succeed, or you can make a mistake, and maybe you pay the price or you have to give back the position, or if it's the last lap of the race, there is a time penalty, but I don't think that it was a dangerous manoeuvre.”
“He was just attempting an overtake. Too optimistic, okay, but not the penalty points. I still don't get it,"

Mercedes have been fined €5,000 after Lewis Hamilton clipped his rear jack during qualifying
"The Stewards heard from the team representative and reviewed video evidence," read the stewards' statement.
"Car 44 was released from the garage in an unsafe manner dragging a jack and an exhaust extractor behind it.
"The Stewards acknowledge that the team immediately informed the driver to stop to prevent any further damage and/or dangerous situation."

perez would have completed a lap under the same circumstances.
There's a rumour going around that the reason he is so slow is because he has a mechanic sucked under his car ever since Australia last year.
Hans Zimmer showing how to do an anthem
haha, that was great
Max to win , but I do think both Mclarens will not make it that easy
The anthem was great!
Unfortunately think it'll just be Max disappearing into the distance, shame Piastri is down the field so the Mclarens can't work together
Lando needs to get Max into turn 1 I think

Let's go.
Leclerc and Piastri contact, as Perez dived down inside of them into T1.
Max is off then
Yeah, I've given up on Leclerc.
Second a head after the first lap, yeah this is over before the first round of stops.
*sigh*, another Max Norris p1 and 2 then
Leclerc made a Faustian bargain for that Monaco win.
Landos starts last 2 races have been a bit slow (obviously way better than I could do) but it means he's getting more pressure from behind than putting pressure on Max
Perez deserves a fine for that. Probably Piastri for Leclerc incident too.
