F1 2024 Season

Not sure what McLaren are planning with Norris. Only a 1-stop makes sense now.

A one stop here, won’t work track is brutal on tyres

 

[Balljy]

I dont much like Norris strategy

I agree, but I guess they're thinking that the 6 or 7 laps difference on tyres makes overtaking relatively easy. We'll see if it works soon I guess.

 

[Ahmer Baig]

All my predictions fecked except Max.

 

[Scarlett Dracarys]

No further action , feck you Carlos just race

Yes drive your slow ass car.

 

[Buster15]

Perez nowhere.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Carlos still moaning, there was nothing wrong with the pass , Ferrari need to tell him to STFU and race

 

[Ahmer Baig]

Perez behind Alpines.

 

[leontas]

A one stop here, won’t work track is brutal on tyres

Yeah seems like it’s a 2-stop too. Baffling strategy call there.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Max has new softs for the final stint, pretty sure Norris doesn't. So the tyre delta isn't as big a deal. He's going to also lose a lot of time passing cars.

Sky can try and spin it all they like, it's not going to work without crashes or rain.

Max and Norris both had a new set available at the start

What is the point of Sargeant

 

[Ahmer Baig]

What is the point of Sargeant

To be last in each race.

 

[Ahmer Baig]

Perez is shit.

 

[Telsim]

What is the point of Sargeant

US marketing.

 

[Balljy]

If Norris can get past the Mercs, I reckon this is going to work for him. It'll be close towards the end.

 

[Ahmer Baig]

Norris is fast.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Second pits are going to be the one, Max and I think Norris gave a new set of softs available.

 

[The Firestarter]

What is the point of Sargeant

Teaching Americans the metric system

 

[Telsim]

"Tyres are inconsistent"

Keeps pulling further and further ahead.

 

[Balljy]

Stupid by Mercedes to not tell Russell to give Hamilton DRS

 

[Ahmer Baig]

Perez pitted again for Mediums.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Stupid by Mercedes to not tell Russell to give Hamilton DRS

I agree but would Russel actually play ball

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Good racing there

 

[hobbers]

More abysmal racecraft Georgie

 

[Rado_N]

That was great racing

 

[Scarlett Dracarys]

Nice driving form Norris.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

More abysmal racecraft Georgie

Give it a rest FFS

 

[Ahmer Baig]

Great overtake.

 

[ArjenIsM3]

Brilliant from Norris, though he wouldn't have had to overtake Russell if he had listened to his engineer and pitted to cover him off.

 

[United Hobbit]

Surely Lando isn't reeling in 9 second ahead Max

 

[Scarlett Dracarys]

Did Norris pit yet?

 

[pauldyson1uk]

He's just terrible wheel to wheel. Opened the door for Lando needlessly and lost so much time.

Now Lewis will get him because he lost so much.

That’s was great racing, only you seem to think otherwise

 

[Ahmer Baig]

Did Norris pit yet?

Yes.

 

[Ahmer Baig]

AM are really poor at pitstops.

 

[leontas]

Norris slowly chipping away at the gap.

 

[Scarlett Dracarys]

Yes.

Well he pit after Max so he could possibly close the gap depending on when Max pits.

 

[Ahmer Baig]

Well he pit after Max so he could possibly close the gap depending on when Max pits.

He pitted very late after Max.

 

[Ahmer Baig]

Zhou quietly in the top 10 now.

 

[Ahmer Baig]

Norris really fast.

 

[Redplane]

McLaren really is the new rocket car

 

[Amar__]

Max has new softs left, the race was over when he overtook Russel in first few laps.

Norris' and Leclerc's terrible strategy didn't cost them that much in the end by the looks of it.
