F1 2024

[Mzezman]

that was crazy

should be a good sprint (hopefully) - although in the dry the merc is dog slow - seems to light up in the wet

 

[CTBP]

Keen for this race, could get messy in the front.

 

[Agent_Smith]

/checks weather for sprint tomorrow...

 

[ToxicBunny]

Some of that driving skill on display was properly epic to watch.

But there is an element of fsck the Chinese for screwing up the track with whatever coating is on that track.

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

Haha go Lando!

 

[UrBaN963]

At least with the rain we probably won't have any track fires in the race.

they put waterproofing or something

 

[ToxicBunny]

they put waterproofing or something

Apparently potentially some sort of bitumen coating from what I read...

So yeah, more important for the track to look good, than for it to function properly. Could make any number of Chinese product jokes if that is the case.

 

[Brawler]

Flip man - I had a 10am meeting and my name kept coming up. Nearly got caught out a few times as I was watching F1 in another tab Had to watch it at 10% volume.

[lkpat]

Yea man, but still. P2 is better than Merc would expect in their car.

Rain is an equalizer of note when it comes to the engineering side of this sport.

Only for Max fanbois

Only for Max fanbois

Pfft, everybody was struggling to stay on track.
Max did decently to get an acceptable time on the board, but he was outclassed by the other guys in todays conditions and on that track.

 

[UrBaN963]

Yea I mean when you see Stake at the top end of the timing sheets, you know the car is not a factor here.

 

[Jean Claude Vaaldamme]

Or the top guys have something to lose and will not risk a big crash for a Sprint qualy?
