FORMULA 1 QATAR AIRWAYS AUSTRIAN GRAND PRIX 2024 ....Race.... ▄▀▄▀▄▀ SPOILERS ▄▀▄▀▄▀

Lmao! Whaaaaaah!

These guys cry and drag things up from the past like a woman.

Participation trophy generation level crying

 

Legend has it that CL earned that position on the grid.

 

I think Ferrari has issues with their [cough] [cough] upgrades(downgrades??) for Silverstone that was fast tracked for Catalunya. It's gotten worse for the team as a whole.

 

Finding Perez replacement is a problem for Red Bull.
Not many drivers are suitable alongside Max.

 

It’s called a motor race.

“he keeps lunging!!”

yeah a hole. He’s trying to pass you. You’re not used to that feeling.

 

I thought it was when you fight in f-chat, redbull wins.

 

True........but finishing 17sec. behind Max at this race:

1) With a 10sec timed penalty.
2) With a puncture which he had to pit.
3) And get beaten by a HAAS.

......................it's just mind boggling.

 

Sorry but this does not feel right - for example this values the USA market at about 20 x Mexico

 

only BECAUSE he has an enormous lead

 

I was talking about team merchandise.....sorry.

 

didnt norris have a 5 second penalty? how was he to gain 5 seconds if he did pass?

 

Have you forgotten all the max v ham incidents?

 

I actually logged in from vacation for this.

here’s how it is.

It is about TIME this happened. Lando is aggressive and max can’t deal with it. Just like HAM couldn’t deal with max being aggressive.

You can’t deny max was driving with his mirrors. That was a lot of swerving not tactical placement. And he made the final error.

let them race. It was awesome. Sad that max didnt DNF too due to the issue at hand.

 

As a good friend in the States sent to me: The return of Max. This is him under pressure. He hasn’t changed at all.

 

That's what I was trying to explain to an FChatter earlier in this thread.

 

Really? Norris?

He was six seconds back until RB botched Max's stop.

I'd have said Piastri, who came back from a bad lap 1 to pass Carlos at the end.

Ferrari continuing to NOT develop their car.

Max channeling Jos.

 

For those that didn't or weren't able to watch the post race interviews with the drivers, here's Norris and Max regarding their incidents.

I am looking forward to NOR going up the inside of VER at Copse next week.

 

If you take an alternative scenario, you see that this clash didn't make sense.

Norris would have passed Max and won; Max would have finished second, still leading the WDC.

Max would have ended up with 18 points ((instead of 10 for 5th), and avoided 2 penalty points.

Norris would have gained 25 points instead of 0.

I wish drivers were thinking a bit more.

 

Sounds like 1 less Ferrari fan on this site next yr.

 

You take any podium you can get...and never complain about your good luck because of another car's bad luck. But we can evaluate teams and drivers irrespective of luck. Overall: Max/RB is #1. Lando/McLaren is #2. Russell/Mercedes is #3. Piastri/McLaren is #4. Sainz/Ferrari is #5. Hamilton/Mercedes is #6. Leclerc/Ferrari is #7. Perez/RB is #8...and everything else is a race by race lottery. In my opinion, Leclerc's day in the sun is setting. Hamilton's has already set. Sainz's is at its zenith. Same with Max...but he is the champion that Carlos will never be. The grid as a whole has become long of tooth, the future will be written by young drivers who are just being glimpsed at now. Liberty has played the sport for all its worth...now is the time for them to sell and take their profits.

 

Difficult to be raisonnable when driving at 300km/h in a close fight for the win.
Unless you are Lauda or Prost.
Nevertheless I really don’t like how Max behave when a ( rare) threat appears suddenly in his mirrors.

 

The Red Mist gets everyone now and then.

 

And....and.....maybe if the RedBull pit wall would have told Max that Norris had a 5sec. timed penalty due to track limits BEFORE the clash, it's possible Max would have let Norris by and just stuck within 5sec. behind Norris.

 

Get a life! Only 1 narrow way to be fan?? Move along.........
