2022 had that massive shower before the race that lead to a few interesting kisses of the wall.
and 2023 that that brilliant DRS management by Carlos to get the win and Keep Lando between him and George until George tested the strength of his suspension against the wall. that was a great race.

It's been scripted that way for DTS fans to change their favourite teams and drivers next season...

Compared to previous seasons it's way less manufactured drama.

It’s not bad. Watched it last night. Some interesting insights, some obvious editing and narrative manufacture, it still a decent watch for what it is.

A lot of people watch DTS, it’s not specific to a fan base. The appeal is that it covers and is open to all fans.

Nothing wrong with DTS, as long as you can still think for yourself and not rely on it for your knowledge of the sport.

I unashamedly admit to enjoying it for what it is, it's nice to get a look into what we don't see on TV, or see how whatever we've been reading played (or didn't play) out...

^^ Yeah and? We're not talking about who watches it for entertainment, we're talking about Ferrari Red Bull Stroll Charles Max Piastri fans who rely on it for their source of knowledge, and will be changing their tune in this thread next year.

Now that you went digging, please show me where I was a Hamilton fan who became a Mclaren fan...

I have a feeling we will see a race where Lando gets maximum points and Max gets nothing...

Best bet would be this weekend but I think Max should still get into the top 6.

RB is apparently targeting a very strong upgrade for Austin which may see the car get back to the top so Mclaren need to target Singapore.

It would be an F1 ratings bonanza if Max's RB had reliability issues for the next few races.

The thing is Red Bull are in this position because their upgrades haven't worked out. There's no guarantee at all that these upgrades will do the job.

And Red Bull is weak at Singapore, so I expect fireworks between McLaren and Ferrari again this weekend.

Now there are big worries. Perez's Red Bull was a half-total write-off. Of course, the newly assembled underbody was also broken. The team in Milton Keynes is already working at full speed because new underbody specifications are constantly being conjured up.

Team boss Christian Horner admitted the seriousness of the situation: "Spare parts are in short supply. We will have to work five days straight at home in the factory to get the necessary parts to Singapore in time for Friday."

Ja, Merc should also be in the mix.

I think the previous upgrades were done based on sim and wind tunnel data instead of driver data which seems to have been the focus since Monza which is why Sergio was much happier with his car. Max's side tinkered too much and the car went backwards but they too should have a much better idea of what the issues were. I don't think they will be the fastest, but I think they will be much more competitive come the Americas tour.
 
So rumor has it Red Bull might bring a flexible wing at Austin and even possibly Ferrari.
Hope nobody gets papaya on their face.
 
Good, hopefully they're finally kicking Ricciardo to the retirement home so we can have two good drivers at VCARB.
