FORMULA 1 HEINEKEN DUTCH GRAND PRIX - Zandvoort.....Race.... ▄▀▄▀▄▀ SPOILERS ▄▀▄▀▄▀

A mega result for Chuck. A 2.4 second pit stop helped especially when it's a one stopper day.

 

Man, Norris pulled out a 22 sec lead at the end of the race against Max and 24sec lead against Leclerc.

I figured Norris was 3/10's faster per lap. That's crazy coming from Mclaren(Norris).

 

Nice traditional track, but a bit of a problem for the long wheelbase F1 cars.

 

Amazing what those two Ferrari drivers can do with a not-very-fast car, when the team doesn't screw up the race strategy.

I still think it was a mistake to replace Sainz with Hamilton.

 

I honestly wonder why some people watch F1 at all.

 

Car was much better in the race than quali. They've obviously figured out the tire wear issues they had early on but now can't quite fire up the tires for qualifying. I think we have the 2nd best car now, but they have to nail a weekend to beat Max in the RB. McLaren a step forward from the rest of the grid now.

 

Really? There must far more interesting things to wonder about…..

 

looks like McL will win WCC.... maybe Max can hang on to driver's

 

Thanks Checo lol

Marko: "Alarming" Norris victory over Verstappen proves threat to both F1 titles

 

Seems odd to me that Norris drove away and Lec was outpacing Oscar. Looked like he was catching Ver on the last few laps as well. Overall Ferrari did what they could. There has to be something with qual pace.

 

Well there’s the mystery of Ferrari’s decent race pace.

And then there’s this superyacht thing…

So, yeah, a few.

 

If so than Red Bull can clearly point to the mediocrity of Sergio Perez's efforts.

 

Let’s see what happens with the Monza upgrades. Hopefully they figured out where they went wrong, hopefully the wind tunnel upgrades during shutdown can be used ASAP to assess the new parts… and Ferrari always manage to pull something something special out of the bag at Monza.

 

On top of that you can add a more friendly kind of track for the SF24.

 

George should sit down with Checo and compare notes lol

Russell baffled after "dropping like a stone” in Dutch GP
Mercedes driver at a loss to explain why he finished a lowly seventh in Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix despite starting in fourth

 

Maybe it was Mercedes with the asymmetric braking.

 

I think Charles should have gotten driver of the day or maybe tied with Hamilton. That podium was well earned!

 

Red Bull is done. Good! Crime paid for way too long.

3-5 more races and McLaren will be on top.

 

This season reminds me both 1991 and 2009.
A driver leading with a substantial margin because of a tremendous start then a better car challenging him during the major part of the season.
In the end the better car failed..
Really hope Mclaren won’t regret Piastri winning the Hungarian Gp.
Tragicomical outcome.

 

Luckily for George, he won the Belgian Grand Prix!!!

Maybe it's just me, but Lando didn't seem to enthusiastic about his win today. No run and jump into his team..seemd off on the podium..just kinda grumpy. Almost like he is done with it.

 

I like that sort of composure. Brits of my generation were told to keep emotions under control.
So I am glad Lando Norris maintains that dignified attitude.
