F1 2023

Just like George could not defend today against Lewis?

Different tire strategies for this one. Probably would’ve been better to refer back to a past Hamilton/Bottas call if you wanted to take a dig. PS. I’m a mclaren fan first and foremost.

Well done Max, Alonso & Gasly

DotD is Lawson. F1 debut, finished 13th which is where Ricciardo would've finished.

 

[SlowInternet]

So Alonso DoTD

 

[quovadis]

Gasly deserved that podium. Great drive for Alonso again. No surprise for Max - solid performance. Special mention Albon and Lawson.

Yeah I was taking a dig, but in my opinion, Perez is no match for Max.

I'm not a huge Merc fan, however I feel for George, what bad luck today, I think its his 3rd DNF this year, all of them not being his fault.

The king is is talking to the King Willem there I see.

My wife is quite right: "why bother?"

- wait for rain to stop
- then make inters mandatory
- and now a safety car for two laps

You can be the literal best driver in the universe, if you aquaplane you're just a passenger. Nothing to do with the drivers but a fundamental aspect of F1 car design in the modern era.

He isn’t. Perez should’ve still have gotten first option.

To all those who say Afrikaans is similar to Dutch, I did not understand one word of Max's speech.

Then drive slower it use wet tyres Luck of the draw, be a man, race in the wet.

Bro I only understood 60% of it after being here for almost 3 years. Some guys like him really don't speak clearly.

But he basically said it was a nice race and glad everybody attended.

Nah, watch old races - cars sliding everywhere and regular starts in rain etc. Inters are the default now because there is no down side. If they slip slide it gets red flagged and they get a free reset.

Unless the wet tyres are larger in diameter and hence lift the car higher off the ground it won't do jack

They are and they do.

But we don't use them for some reason.

Why are you defending the FIA? What's wrong with you?

Jy moet jo ore oop maak en lekker luister, daan sal jy verstan.
