2023 F1 season ***may contain spoilers***

Interesting that almost 1/3 are in **** holes or places that have zero interest in motor racing. I guess $$$ talks. Ahhhhh the ye olde good days when 3 different manufacturers could win with 4 different drivers when F1 was exciting and interesting.

 

The Mac's did well:

I watched it and thought they were going to be midfield after Q1 but then they had afterburners for Q2/3 ............ I still think Sainz is the better bet for Ferrari

 

It's actually good mixing it up I reckon.

 

I reckon! Great effort by those two lads.

 

Ferrari need speed, Oscar should have taken Norris early in the race

 

Team orders - Lando is the number 1

But what a great race, F1 really needed one more team to step up. Let's hope it wasn't a one off.

Oscar showed what he's capable of and was very good in the post race interviews, with informative comments rather than the platitudes that others use.

Ferrari need to poach Andrea Stella back...

 

Yep, best race for a while.

This was the concise news summary here this morning:
GP GRAN BRETAGNA
Verstappen vince anche a Silverstone, secondo Norris. Lontane le Ferrari.

Verstappen wins again at Silverstone, Norris second. Ferraris slow.

 

A good friend from the SC QLD-son was racing in the Porsche Cup yesterday, doing 2 Porsche series including Porsche Cup and Porsche Cup Germany, racing most weekends, this time of the year.

 

+1

 

Daniel to Alpha Tauri for the rest of the season. Interesting.

 

Hehe SNAP!

I knew F1 is cut throat, but that was definitely cut throat for poor ol Nyck.

 

I read that Ricci ran times at the tyre test very, very close to Max's pole time - he's still got the speed and Nick hasn't.

 

Cool man, get him back in that Redbull to see if he can challenge Max given the 2nd chance.

 

Let's hope his crashability rating is much lower than Nick's!

 

Dan still smashed plenty of **** didn't he?

 

Only Max

 

I reckon Dan could smash Max no worries.

 

This has certainly injected some more interest into the season.

His first job is to finish in front of Tsunoda.

 

Yep, added much needed interest.

 

I NEARLY turned the TV on to watch the race the other day

 

It has, but it may take some time to get dialled into that car.

Be nice if he could jump straight into it and starting smoking Yuki, but it may take a few races to get the hang of it.

Daniel is used to driving **** race cars, maybe not as **** as this one but.

 

Did anyone even bother watching the race?

I’m ready to cancel my Kayo subscription as I’m not really enjoying the Redbull show every week.
