F1 2024 Season

[ArjenIsM3]

Max had nowhere to go, was ahead at the apex and would have made the corner but was forced off because Piastri ran Norris wide. I'd say Max shouldn't have given the position back, typical turn 1 racing incident.

 

[Ahmer Baig]

After watching replay Max does have a point.

 

[Berbaclass]

Max is right to be fair, he was ahead, but there was nothing Norris could do either. Saying that, Max closed Hamilton in the next corner too.

Yeah I think they should have just let them get on with it.

 

[rimaldo]

“max was right to demand the deaths of all the first-born babies.”

 

[United Hobbit]

Norris is a dumbass at the start though, gives max the racing line trying to close off his teammate when the obvious threat is max and they need to block him as a team down to turn 1

Exactly, they should have worked together to block Max off, instead Lando basically got out his way and gifted him a clear track

I hate team orders, but that was poor racecraft

 

[hobbers]

Interesting to see what McLaren do with prioritising their drivers. Split strategy and give priority to Piastri? Feck Piastri over again?

 

[iammemphis]

Can someone explain why 7 laps into a 70 lap race they are all changing tyres already? I have zero clue about race strategies.

 

[RoadTrip]

Turned into a procession.

 

[Ahmer Baig]

Perez in points.

 

[Amar__]

Hards could actually work well here, Perez is on good lap times.

 

[Berbaclass]

Hungary is such a shite track

 

[altodevil]

Crofty doesn't half talk a load of shite.

Esteban Gutierrez has never won a race.

 

[Doracle]

Surprising Russell can’t get past Bottas.

 

[Ahmer Baig]

Stroll still on softs.

 

[dinostar77]

Turned into a procession.

Which is why max was sim racing last night. Probably more fun than racing in this GP.

 

[Berbaclass]

Poor stop Stroll

 

[Balljy]

Based on previous weeks, Norris will be keeping his tyres fresher so will probably go longer than Piastri.

 

[ArjenIsM3]

Max giving back the position has made this race far less interesting

 

[Ahmer Baig]

AM slow pitstop messed up Stroll.

 

[Berbaclass]

This Hamilton v Verstappen could be decent

 

[Doracle]

Hmm, Max not pitting. He will be behind Hamilton surely when he pits.

 

[Doracle]

Hope Hamilton isn’t burning these tyres though. Gone very fast in his first two laps.

 

[Amar__]

One stop for Max and Ferraris?

 

[The Firestarter]

Hannah not looking happy.

 

[Berbaclass]

RB strategy is a bit weird

 

[Berbaclass]

Max pitting

 

[hp88]

Might as well leave Max out there and chance a SC, I can't see him getting podium he's stuck behind Lewis.

 

[Balljy]

It's not easy to overtake here, this seems a bit weird from Red Bull

 

[Berbaclass]

RB stop was shite by their standards

 

[The Firestarter]

RB have not been on top of their game lately. 3 sec stop now.

 

[Berbaclass]

Unless anything significant happens this is a easy win for Pastry

 

[Amar__]

No chance.

Yeah, no way. Weird startegy from both by the looks of it.

 

[Berbaclass]

Max has caught Lewis a fair bit the last few laps. Came out 6.5 seconds behind and now 4.3,

 

[RoadTrip]

My predictions for this race are shot.

 

[RoadTrip]

What’s interesting is Russell struggling to catch Tsunoda despite being on the hards whilst Tsunoda on mediums.

 

[Ahmer Baig]

Max only has a medium left. So his last stint is gonna be on that.

McLaren have a new hard and a medium with only 1 lap on them

 

[Gringo]

Max has caught Lewis a fair bit the last few laps. Came out 6.5 seconds behind and now 4.3,

I'll be impressed if he can get passed though

 

[Berbaclass]

Max gained another second in the last lap on Lewis

 

[Berbaclass]

Hamilton is falling off massively

 

[dinostar77]

Hamilton is falling off massively

Cooked his Hards by going too quick, too early
