Bottas and botched tyre nuts....name a better combo

[โ€“] dimspace 11 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

10 laps, 8 seconds in front and not even trying.

Can we just give Max the title, let him take the year off and have a new competition for "second is the first winner"

I wish Red Bull would just unleash Max instead of just telling him to build a ~15 sec gap and then drive to a delta. If we can't have competition at the front, at least let us watch Max lap the entire field.

[โ€“] dimspace 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

If Red Bull do that, then F1 will start bringing a whole raft of rule changes mid season to try an screw over Red Bull and make them slower

(I mean they tried to do that last year with the floor rulings, but Red Bull ended up getting even better)

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Wasn't the floor rulings a late implementation of intended porpoising prevention? Or was there another floor change I forgot about?

Also funny how by the time the floor change was implemented most teams had already fixed porpoising and all it accomplished was making following harder again.

Riveting stuff. Excited there's 23 more races of this. /s

Carlos gunning for Lewisโ€™ seat next year.

Leclerc really struggling out there. Brutal.

Max's so ahead he'll reach Saudi Arabia for the next race by the end of this one.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Max has his own calendar. Abu Dhabi in May.

Sainz has REALLY been performing and showing what he can do!

[โ€“] dimspace 6 points 4 months ago

Boy that sauber is.. green.. very green...

at least it stands out from all the blues and, well, blues

[โ€“] JimmyMcGill 6 points 4 months ago

Seems like it will be the same as last year

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Max is 15 second up the road. I was hoping for a better year with some actual racing involved.

Ah well. Guess Iโ€™ll try again in 2026 with the rule changes.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Interesting to put Checo on the softs.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

No hards available.

Yuki getting the Ferrari treatment

Max with another grand slam

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Really looks like most people underestimated Red Bulls pace advantage, if anything.

Lawrence Barretto's prediction on Hamilton seems to be spot on atm.

Brutal pitstop for Bottas. He's always the unlucky one.

Alex have you tried restarting it?

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Why aren't we seeing pit stop times?

[โ€“] Gsicht 4 points 4 months ago

Nice move from Carlos.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Holy shit Sainz what a move

Yuki doesn't seem quite happy to be asked to swap

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I wonder how the relationship between Daniel and Yuki will play out this year?

[โ€“] D2Rave 5 points 4 months ago

I'd expect some fireworks - my guess is neither Yuki nor Daniel is there next year (one up / one out)

Poor Bottas

This is suddenly becoming a race of reliability.

Did F1 run out of contract with AWS to show us timings and stats or what? Or is AWS fucking shit up themselves as usual?

Is Zak getting paid by Sky or something? They always talk to him.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

They usually have several of the TPs and team personnel give commentary each race. They rotate week to week.
