Formula 1 - 2023 season

Then they get penalties for the track being crap. Formula one needs to get a grip of itself. Just apply common sense.

Absolutely insane that he gets a penalty. How on Earth can they justify that?

Ferrari didn’t seem to make much of a deal out of it? Unless I’ve just missed it. Toto was an absolute joke today with his interview on it.

Ferrari domination in Q trim. Fully expect Max to be quicker in race once tyres have got upto temp though.

Probably yeh but Ferrari always seemed to be ahead of them on every run and on used tyres. Seems a very low deg track. Ferraris best chance is tomorrow which means they mess up the strategy.

Lol at how little grip there is at T1, so many drivers just went straight instead of turning. Side effect of new surface, cold weather and no feeder series running here.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

It's not been the worst race this season so far, but the bar is low.

 

[longers]

This has been a pretty entertaining race, fair play.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Alpine team orders, maintain tyre management. Alpine drivers completely ignoring team orders and going at eachother

 

[longers]

Oh well. Red Bull benefited massively from that safety car and will get a 1-2 now.

edit: Perez asleep and loses lead straight away

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Perez has Everton'd it.

 

[PhilM]

Well in Leclerc! Perez, we're all laughing at you.

Perez wins DOTD after benefiting from a safety car, getting mugged twice by Leclerc and being overtaken and beaten by his teammate who had a damaged front wing.

F1's fanbase is proper special lol.

Very good race in the end, easily one of the best of the season and also had the most overtakes for the lead this season.

Leclerc should have been driver of the day and would have won without the safety car.

Yeah, decent event in the end after a shocking start. Even made a convert of Verstappen it seems. Look forward to next year now. Hopefully the first day farce/prices won't put off the locals/trackside fans.

Potential for a Merc win here ? Russell and Norris clear of the rest in FP3.

I am 100% not falling in to the trap of thinking anyone other than Max will win based off of anything that happens before the race!
