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

OK add a Lamb and an Octopus

 

Amazing & breathtaking pole lap from Max.

Meanwhile, the GOAT on the radio "Man, this car is hard to drive"

 

Great lap from Alonso too.

Too funny. I'm betting the real GOATS, aka Fangio or Clark or Schumacher or Lauda etc would NOT say that.

 

Yep, what a legend!! Hope he goes hard today.

 

Hope everyone enjoys the race! Going to be a cracker I reckon.

 

I thought the race was a bit of a procession, and then I watched the Indy 500. Stand on it & turn left never meant so much.
F1 for me over ovals always.

 

Monaco was as boring as most F1 races are nowadays, until the rain arrived, after which there was some enjoyable car control to observe.

Indy is an endurance race and can be confusing to new watchers, e.g. too much overtaking, as the drivers use drafting to extend their fuel range. On TV I usually skim over the first 200 laps, then watch the last 50. When you attend in person, you can rent radio headsets and listen in to the team radio of your favourite drivers, which adds a big dimension of interest, along with the car noise of course. It's a bucket-list experience.

I was annoyed that Foxtel didn't televise the Indy 500 this year, so I had to watch online. Foxtel is poor value for money and slowly getting worse.

 

The Indy 500 & the Indycar series is on Stan.

 

The race wasn't as exciting as I had hoped, the rain gave me some hope...........but it didn't last long.

Onto the next one men.

 

Truth is, Monaco is never exciting.

Got pretty interesting when the rain came, but only for a short while.

Wonder what would have happened if Alonso stayed out one or two more laps…

 

Indeed! Would have been awesome to see.

 

Just preparing our Spanish snack while waiting for the race tonight.

Another boring race. The GOAT finished 23 seconds behind Max, despite Merc copy/pasting Redbull sidepods and front suspension onto their car. I wonder if the designer who came up with the original surface-cooling sidepod concept has still got a job? Remember when Toto was vigorously defending it not that long ago?

What passed for action was in the midfield and which team disappointed the most, including another dismal outing for Ferrari.

 

Definitely a boring race. Nuff said.

 

Montreal was much better than previous races, with some elbows-out driving for the minor positions.

The stewards reached a new low in pettiness by pinging Norris for being too slow behind the safety car. Still it's nice to know that wanker rule-book nazis are not limited to Motorsport Australia.

And for once, Ferrari made a good strategy call by leaving their cars out at the first safety car. But they seem to be settled in as the 4th best team.

Great interview with Adrian Newey afterwards, very humble on achieving 100 race wins for his RB designs.

 

I hate people who drop names on internet forums.

btw I need to mention that I'm having a call with Mark Webber tomorrow

 

Try not to embarrass yourself

 

Did he lend you money?

 

Ask him to come to our breakfast catch up… not GG maybe.

 

Good idea, I hope he packed a Hawaiian shirt.

 

Doesn't everybody?

 

Ryan Reynolds has bought into Alpine.

Poor bugger...

 

Have you watched the Wrexham series? Good fun

 

Interesting changes for next year. Like Japanese GP after Australia
