F1 2024

Watched the highlights just now and yeah, good race again by the boys in red. Happy for Carlos, hope he gets another before season ends because it might be his last ever.

Max getting 20 seconds was harsh when just a week ago, similar inchidents only received 5 seconds per driver.

First one was a close one, second one was definitely Max at fault and I think frustration is creeping back in over that car he has to drive.

RB has dropped the ball big time.

Perez should be dropped immediately and Lawson needs to be given a shot. Colapinto needs to be signed and put into the Vcarb for 2025.

Norris still on the hunt, going to be an epic 4 races.

His royal highness president Mo not in attendance? Intriguing.

Probably off somewhere marrying an 8 year old. They should really get rid of this guy.

Delusional

or knows something we don’t. Either way, I’m not sure if there’s anyone left that believes his performance this year should secure that seat for next.

Kamikaze Max is back

It’s not me, it’s the car

During the intro they shared an interview with Checo basically saying the team admitted they buggered up his car and apologised and said they know what’s wrong and can fix it… so they’ve done what they can to assure him.

I think he was referring to a few things but mostly the team ignoring his setup requests from last year already as alluded to by Horner. It’s now come home to roost for both of them.

Bit boring race, at least Max gave us some excitement.

At least a precedent has been set now. Max shrugged of the 20s penalties. Now we wait for others 10s penalties and how they going to cry about it.

They can fix the car but they can't fix his pace

Some drivers rely more on a good setup than others. Checo is one. The team ignored him and are paying the price.

Did a happy dance when Max was serving his 20 seconds.

At least the race this coming Sunday is at a more palatable time of 19:00. Last night was tough!

Those 20 seconds were earned. Note how Max didn't even protest.
He seemed unrepentent.
I'm happy with how Lando handled himself, that was much better from him

Meanwhile Colapinto picks up a few places despite having dodgy steering

He’s one of the special guys for sure.

I paused F1TV at 23:00, had powernap and woke up at 3:00 to finish it then another powernap 5:00-7:00.

This weekend would have been 21:00, which would have been perfect, but the switch to daylight savings yesterday screwed it up. 19:00 still too early for me, everyone is still awake so it'll be a fight over the TV in the lounge...

Max wanted to protest but he didn't have time in his schedule for even more community service so he kept his mouth shut.

Masterful drive by Sainz, a thoroughly deserved win!

I cannot help think that had this been the cutthroat era of Todt et al, they would have swapped Sainz and Leclerc to increase the chance of the latter winning the championship.
