F1 2024 (and other motorsport) thread

All that messing around and still miles off. Was convinced it would be Merc.

That Red bull must be an absolute shopping trolley without Neweys overwatch

I too thought Merc after they suddenly became quite good. This back tracking after finding they went down the wrong aero path with the RB20 shows the reliance on AN and how his replacement can't 'see the air' like he could.

I see RedBull have been named as the team that were unfairly adjusting their floor to alter their ride height during Park Ferme conditions. It had been reported that a team was adjusting the ride height inside the cockpit so went undetected. I would love to see how exactly they were doing it.

RedBull in Hot Water

In the past few minutes, they have been talking about it on Sky F1 and, somewhat carefully, they’re alluding to possible misconduct by Red Bull.

Why, if it’s possible, would you hide it in such a concealed position under the pedals? It’s not as if pedals can’t be adjusted during parc fermé…

… oh.

They’re insisting it’s visible and doesn’t help them at all. I find that hard to believe really.

Nice lap that from Max. Leaving plenty of time on the table in turn 19 as well. He wins these races this weekend and championship is done IMO

McLaren seemed a bit out of sorts then I thought. Hopefully they have better pace tomorrow and in qualifying.

Definitely never found the right balance in P1 and that's carried through. Hopefully tomorrow they can be closer in GP quali.

Sprint race has potential to be a goodun

 

[Street end man]

This track always makes the cars look like the film has been speeded up. Jeez they look quick.

 

[AndyP94]

Come on Norris

 

[longers]

Hamilton seems slow or is saving tyres whilst Ferraris battle. Wasn’t catching up even when they were going side by side.

I think Max has this, Russell and Norris are going to lose time battling.

 

[AndyP94]

Norris is catching back up, Verstappen rear tyres going off. I think Hamilton is also biding his time.
