F1 2023

Most exciting part was the end lol Madness

Definitely an own goal by stewards.

Why did Alpine pit Ocon on the last lap? Going for a fast lap or tyre issue?

 

[Heisenborg]

So now we will see a new rule that mechanics may not cross the pits at all

They didn't make a pitstop..they had to make one or get a fine or penalty

Perez had a good race.

Still a **** track.

 

[quovadis]

Well done Checo. Lack of overtakes is worse than ever.

 

[Naks]

The DRS effect from the RB is mind blowing!

Jirre, +30kmh is unbelievable

 

[Sinbad]

Zzzzzz

 

[MrJacques]

No fighting please.

 

[sand_man]

Hands up, who else was dozing and got the fright of their lives when Lando passed Hulkenberg to the great excitement of the presenters?

 

[medicnick83]

I lost interest after lap 15.

Even worse was watching MotoGP before F1.
Every F1 fan wishes their sport has half of what MotoGP has.
Brad raced a blinder again. Epic racing.

Well run Checo, he seemed to have the measure of Max here

Not according to Horner - over the radio at the end
"Well done Max, Checo got lucky with the safety car there, but it's a long long season..."

There is one bigger assnut than max. And that is his boss

You forgot about (Purple)Helmet Marko...

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

There is one bigger assnut than max. And that is his boss

And his father. And his father in law. He's surrounded by dicks so it's no surprise that he's also one...

Rumour has it that Ferrari has managed to poach two senior staff from RBR, one is Enrico Balbo (Head of Aero), the other possibly Pierre Waché (Technical Director)

"For what I heard, there are 1 o 2 new figures coming soon in Maranello from Milton Keynes practically confirmed. The names seems only known at a high level "

https://twitter.com/x/status/1652297643836489730

"Red Bull's Head of Aerodynamics Enrico Balbo is set to join Ferrari in 2024. Another member from Red Bull will join Ferrari and he is said to be even more important and has made the difference at the team recently and he knows a lot about the Red Bull car concept "

Nonsense, F1 cars have double the wheels of MotoGP. Half of MotoGP would be unicycle racing.

Joking aside, the Baku race was boring. Would be nice to have smaller, lighter cars and more overtaking.

And not drawn out over 3 days of achieving nothing of benefit to the sport.

On shortened practice session was worthless and actually left some teams at risk of driving unsafe cars.
A Friday qualifying all but excludes Fans who have to go to work.

The Saturday events were far too drawn out, boring and of no purpose than to add further jeopardy to an already under prepared car.

F1 is supposed to be an engineering based sport built on cutting edge design and precision engineering, but this last weekend treated it as a game of chance trying to remove the technical and sporting achievements and replace it with Luck and basic survival.

Welcome to F1 reality TV, next week we get to vote a Driver or Team out of the Sport based on popularity.
And all we have to look forward to this week is Miami...........

I am beginning to regret not walking away in 2021 when F1 first became a scripted event.

You forgot about them probably wanting to bring "FanBoost" to F1 as well...

The day this happens is the day F1 dies.
