FORMULA 1 STC SAUDI ARABIAN GRAND PRIX 2024
Has someone else noticed that from certain camera angles the colours are off, most visibly on the mclarens?
Yes, I've noticed that too. Especially when the McLarens and Ferraris are side by side
Edit: think it's just the camera for corners 1 & 2
Yes this was bugging me too! How strange.
There is one corner they look rather red.
"I hit the wall."
"Can you bring it back?"
"No I hit the ****** wall"
What a snoozefest
Really? Found it pretty interesting so far. Quite eventful.
Yeah I enjoyed it. Good racing up and down.
Has KMag fucked the stewards' wives?
Apparently he pissed in their cereal as well
Didn't Steiner say something about a Viking cum back when he was TP?
Bearman ππππ
He's possibly scored more points today than some drivers will in this entire season.
I think he'll score more points today than Sargeant over 2 seasons.
Aaaaaand Max already has a gap you could fit half the F2 grid in
And Stroll is in the barriers. First safety car of the season.
Amateurish from stroll
Bearman up to 9th. He's absolutely killing it.
Edit: aw he lost the position
Edit: He got it back πͺ
Fingers crossed for McLaren today!
If that Norris start is not a jump start then I don't know what is
The jump starts are based on telemetry, if he was behind the sensor in his box and moved and was still behind, no jump start. You can technically start moving early, so long as you don't cross the sensor before the lights go out.
I hope this is not going to give others ideas though. Don't want to see the guys line up further back just to try and get more momentum before the lights.
His start was massively compromised as a result, since he stopped and started again.
Arguably defined his race v Piastri all told. I think it was right to not penalise him tbh
Its happened before, I remember Bottas 2020 in Hungary. As far as I know, the timing for the final lights out is random so you can't reliably time it.
Yeah I remember him having a crazy 0.00something reaction time. I even remember Vettel straight up saying he didn't believe that in post races interviews. It was probably a case of perfect anticipation more than reaction.
Two things.
Are the stewards asleepΒΏ?
They're taking really long.
And now there's no jump start penalty for Norris at all
Perez got noted for unsafe release by stewards.
Edited:Now Norris is being investigated.
Both under investigation now.
Took their own sweet time
Kick must be kicking themselves now
KMag absolute the train engine
Come on Oscar...
10s penalty for Magnussen? No penalty for Norris?
Interesting decisions.
McLaren and Mercedes didn't double stack because...........
gambling on another s/c i guess?
Did they have enough space to double stack without impeding?
i mean, you can slow down the second car before hitting the pits and then crawl in the pit lane, only needs a 5 second gap or so
Another disaster pitstop for Kick Sauber..
Well played KMag, well played
Lpine lol
Well, at least we got a new race leader..
Let's see if Bearman can make some early overtakes on those softs
Nope.
Well. He made some overtakes on the hards at least
Did something happen to Magnusson at the end? I thought I saw him drop about four places in a couple of seconds but no mention of it on the commentary
He had 20 seconds of penalties so that's probably it.
Oh haha yeah I forgot π
