Normal service resumes.
F1 2024 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
Close between 2nd-9th.
Phew picked right for pole
The top are quite close just have to hope it translates to the race
McLaren have dropped off a bit. Even if we could have a great battle between Ferrari, Mercedes, Aston Martin and McLaren (and Perez) would help with interests as we can then just ignore Max disappearing off into the distance

This will be a good fight from 2nd position onwards.
Just hope Ferrari remain strong in sector 2 and 3. Catch Max in DRS
That RB looks so comfortable again. Even more comfortable in quali trim now than last year at this point. Feels like Max was holding back in the last two sectors.
Not sure how much the tow from the McLaren helped him.
This is an outlier of a track, rear limited so I'm taking it all with a pinch of salt. Need another race or two, to get a true reflection. I think the Red bull under max can open up a bigger gap to the ferrari's.
Ferrari are a lot more closer to RB this year though, last year they were 1.3 seconds off in Quali whereas this year it's 2 tenths - Hopefully that translates to a closer season v the rout we had last year, especially if that SF24 is reliable.
Norris was quick but missed out with a poor S1, that middle sector speed indicates its probably a decent car though. He does need to start finishing these laps off though, so many times he threatens to do something special and then makes a mistake.
This will be tight behind Max.
it's crazy how amazing and yet average the red bull car is depending on if it's max or Perez driving it.
Yep, normal service resumes. RB Max sandbagging in quali, then 10 seconds ahead of the second one tomorrow.
Everyone admitting they can't get close to Max in the race, great stuff
Glad i didnt put Charles on pole. HAHAHA
This quali could have been part of last season and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Maybe the embarrassing outing by Alpine? And nothing else.
Leclerc's Q2 was faster than Max's best time overall, so there is that small minimal hope.
Perez finishing so back again with so much testing and stuff on this truck hopefully shows that it's just Max who is brilliant, and the car is not that far ahead, which with few of his mistakes can make it interesting this year. There is a hope, IMO.
Of course, race pace could be completely different thing, but judging by the qualifiers alone, I am not convinced Red Bull is that far ahead.

Underwhelming in the end. Have no hope for the race tomorrow the RedBull basically has no deg
Gasly and Ocon at Alpine are waste of talent, they both are clearly better than few other drivers ahead, and don't deserve that shite, IMO.
Also is it possible to put some bet on Hamilton retiring at end of the year?

This kinda means feck all in the race. Redbull race pace still way ahead above everyone else.
They really took a tractor to Sakhir this time, poor Gasly thought he was going to the better team when he left AT. Ocon as well would not be happy with this car given he's a good driver.
A mechanical failure is the only thing stopping Verstappen from winning this one. Outside of Red Bull, it looks pretty even out there.
Bahrain GP Qualifying Result
Well, it's easy to be negative, let's have some hope.
Of course I've heard, don't be silly.
How about you wait for at least one lap of the 2024 race season to start before you start your usual Hamilton bashing?
I wouldn’t necessarily call him a winner
Yuki loves that P11 doesn't he.
The other 19 drivers (yes, Perez too) need to make a secret pact to gently nudge Verstappen off the track every race. Someone different does it every race to not arouse suspicion. For the sake of entertainment.
To be honest things look much closer than at the start of 2023. Not expecting RB to be caught up in in 2024, but I’d be surprised if they equal or surpass last years feats. It’s ridiculous close between 2 to 9 as well.
C'mon mate, you are better than that. I would actually support him to win the title this year rather than Max of I had to choose.
Doesn't look very fake or AI generated here tbh. Pretty impressive how they managed to get a dismissal on that grievance on that, wouldn't surprise me if RBR have a constructive dismissal coming their way soon.
Que?
Presumed you haven’t clicked the link on the tweet?
I did, but how is that different from what was released the other day?
I've seen a few but about to have a proper read through
Wonder if his wife will stay with him on seeing them

We only had screenshots from some Weibo account, and the images looked poor enough that AI was a plausible explanation.
I’d be highly surprised, she’ll feel as though she’s been humiliated. When Horner got with her, he cheated on his previous wife who was pregnant.
The more curious thing is how some internal grievance hearing has managed to conclude that the behaviour on those texts of begging to send pictures doesn’t constitute gross misconduct at the least, and sexual harassment at worst.
