Cant even catch a Mclaren with rear diffuser damage. Thats how SLOW the mercs are.
F1 2024 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
9/10 finishers with only 3 in the right spot. Not good
Perez being his usual shite self. Doesnt deserve to be in the RedBull.
Love the commentary: "Bottas out with an engine issue", Tsunoda out with a magnesson issue"

What a heroic drive from Lewis in that GP2 car
That’s exactly what I was thinking too. Crazy their fall off.
Glad I didn't get up in time and could watch it back and speed through the processional parts.
Very good result for Lando. Not a great race from a viewer perspective.
Interesting that there is a meeting happing next week to potentially extend points to 12th place.
Gotta do something to keep people watching.
Just skip through it, the whole race was a procession
Like Nico on commentary - kept it interesting
Yeah I started 20 minutes ago and caught up in time to watch the last lap live.
Piastri has to learn some race management, he should be doing better than 8th today. He burnt through his tyres too quickly in the sprint race, and after every tyre change in the race.
Piastri had damage on his diffuser and had little downforce.
I didn't realise that, did it happen early? He seemed quick in the first stint and then dropped off which I put down to tyres degrading.
Fair enough. I still think he needs to improve race management and he was burning through tyres last year too. He used up his tyres in the sprint too, although it could be argued that's OK as that race should be for driving hard.
Agreed, thought he was excellent.
That just goes to show how pathetic the Mercedes is. Can't catch a car with that much diffuser damage.
Hopefully a wake up call for them and totto can stop saying it's a "top six car" when it clearly isn't.
@Balljy representing Redcafe in the top 5 in the UK!
That won't last long, I'll soon be back averaging 13.5 like last year.
Not see any of the race due work, is it worth catching up with?
13.5 Superbru points, bang average, it’s my bonus’s that are letting me down.

Well Done 18.5 nice score.
Pretty average race, China without rain is not much fun.
half a lap of magnessun v stroll going at it like they are fighting for 1st place and not 16th was probably the highlight.
Gotta love modern f1...
"Lights out"
"Go"
"Ok. thats 500 metres, go into tyre management please for 20 laps"
"dont bother defending as your not fighting against this particular car"
Danny Ric, 3 place grid drop for next GP also 2 penalty points on his licence.

Yes. And if it was not for the safety cars, it would have been a pretty sterile race.
Yeah, that's shite. Leclerc not fighting against Perez even if he could because he knew it will ruin his tires and he might lose the 4th place because of it.
The pain keeps coming for him. Also Lance blaming him for the hit

Best team on the grid by a fecking mile.
Have they done slower pit than 2,5-2,6 entire season?

To be fair Lance Stroll doesn’t have a fecking clue what he’s doing in general either!The pain keeps coming for him. Also Lance blaming him for the hit
The whole thing was so pathetic
Ever thought that Pere is going fast enough to hold up the rest of the pack, and giving Max a massive lead?
From the upcoming Grand Prix in Miami onwards, the team will use a new name: Scuderia Ferrari HP.
HP are known for being a giant technology company, and now, starting at the Miami Grand Prix, the US multinational's logo will also be seen on Ferrari's cars. It would be the most lucrative deal in F1 at the moment.

two previous giants of their arenas, locked together in a mutual decline.
There will be a new livery for the weekend sporting blue as a throwback to old Ferrari racers and HPs corporate colours.
Just hope they're not using HP ink to paint it or they'll blow the cost cap in a weekend (shamelessly stolen from twitter)

Ferrari F1 influence spreading to WEC too as they threw away a 1-2-3 at the weekend with a stupid strategy decision to stay out on slicks in the rain.
Harsh on Lewis, it's only because they're trying lots of different setups!
Newey leaving rumours swirling, if he goes to Ferrari……
Huge if true.
Wow, never expected him to leave. I guess Ferrari it is, then?
