It says it all when the coverage is spending a lot of time on the battle for 12th.
F1 2024 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
this has been some feat by Magnussen. I think he's backed the field almost 20s from Hulkenberg now. naughty though
K-Mag unironically driver of the day.
Even the commentary admitting the front is boring
It doesn't help Perez can't keep up with Max

See there's the difference, Lewis kept the inside line and forced Piastri into an error, with RB they just give them the inside line making it even easier
Lewis going soft till the end
Least the battle between the Brits could bring a bit of interest
Stake with another dreadful pit
There's tablets for that
Forget about the winner, the race behind is decent
Great drive from Manbearpig.
Think Bearman will be fine. Brilliant drive from him.
Well podium is right at the moment, but not another another place correct.
Outside the top 3 my prediction is fecked
Bearman definitely driver of the day, cracking first F1 race.
The Mercedes is a shite car
Lack of rear end grip for three years running now. Ridiculous that they have to lift through 6-7-8 while ferrari, mclaren and redbull go through flat.
The gaps are so big
Bearman has done very well, unfortunately it's a 2 week gap to the next race so surely Sainz will be back
Danny Ric not convincing me he deserves the 2nd RB seat

4 in the right spot, hopefully a decent enough hall.
I thought Lewis on softs would be better than 9th
Agree with driver of the day: Bearman - Hamilton and Hulkenberg
Bearman should be getting a drive next year in place of Bottas or Kmag.
Biggest surprise to me is Max not sneakily getting FL on old hards. Would have been a Chad move. Seemed like he was harvesting last few laps.
The commentators more excited about Bearman than the front 
Surely he could get a seat next season albeit at Haas or Williams

The Brits ending up together
F1 race on a Saturday is just wrong.
I wonder at what pt Danny will regret taking the MasterCard seat.
List of people surprised by the race results:
Well at least Bearman kept the interest. The Red Bull are in a formula of their own. And the opposition have not closed the gap thus far anyway.
Clarkson was right last week, what have the other teams done over the winter ?
Ahhh didn't realise this was on a Saturday!!
McLaren were the only ones who looked like they could possibly close the gap, but they've dropped off
The thing is, even if others bring upgrades, RB have more to add as well so will likely just stay ahead unless they've got it badly wrong

Rest of the season is Sunday races, well apart from Vegas that is late Saturday night.
That RedBull makes the Millenium Falcon look slow.
Wonder what odds Max is to win every race
He was 1/8 after Bahrain to win the title. Certain markets are taking bets on placing outside of Verstappen winning.
I wonder how long it’ll take before the FIA start to look at clipping Red Bulls wings to try to reign in their advantage.
17 Superbru points , happy with that
Pretty boring race, congratulations to Bearman who ie easily driver of the day for me too, in comparision with some other drivers who got to race at final moments, he did very well for such an inexperienced driver in F1.
Watching just qualifying times, most of cars in front have improved a lot since last year, but the problem is that despite Ferrari improving for one second, Red Bull have improved even more, probably somewhere around 1,2-1,4. Mercedes seem just bit quicker (by 0,4) which is really poor, and Mclaren same as Ferrari around one second, but Mclaren was slow at start of the last season anyway so I would say they are pretty similar to Mercedes. So we are basically getting what we had last season anyway, and Red Bull will probably have it easier knowing that they could improve even more.

K-Mag still ending above almost all of the drivers he held back, because most of them were lapped by Max
If Albon had been lapped as well, he was one DNF in the top half away from finishing in the points.
