F1 2023 Season

[Ahmer Baig]

Piastri backed it into the wall, red flag.

 

[dinostar77]

Thats the grid for the race, no one is going to go quicker when we restart after the red flag.

 

[hobbers]

That's it. Hulkenberg P2

 

[RoadTrip]

Hulk might make the front row!

 

[pauldyson1uk]

HAAS are good in the wet
I agree the grid won’t change in the worsening rain

 

[hobbers]

Unless it takes them another eternity to green flag there's no way anyone will improve.

 

[United Hobbit]

I thought Magnusson started on pole for Haas so not their highest start?

 

[Amar__]

That's pretty much it, more rain later means the track will be slower once they return.

Hulkenberg mega lap. Verstappen is unreal.

Max always seizes the initiative and gets out first so he can't get caught up in others messes

He just trusts himself.

 

[RoadTrip]

Session is done I think. That’s the grid

 

[pauldyson1uk]

If the rain gets much heavier, they might call this Q3

 

[RoadTrip]

If the rain gets much heavier, they might call this Q3

They’ll probably reopen the session, but no one will be improving their times.

 

[hobbers]

Sainz should be getting 2x 5 place grid penalties for all his shit.

He won't, bet it's just 3 places.

 

[dinostar77]

Max always seizes the initiative and gets out first so he can't get caught up in others messes

It helps when you have a amazing car, lots of grip and talent to use it (unlike perez).

 

[RoadTrip]

No one’s going faster in this weather.

 

[dinostar77]

I thought Magnusson started on pole for Haas so not their highest start?

Brasil 2022

 

[Mike Smalling]

I thought Magnusson started on pole for Haas so not their highest start?

He got pole for a sprint race, I think.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Raining quite heavy and cars will be waiting for 2 mins,the inters will have no heat in them.
This is a gamble.

 

[dinostar77]

Standing water everywhere. No chance of improving.

 

[Ahmer Baig]

So qualifying is pretty much done.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

spray and visibility is the problem.
Teams are not going to risk an accident.
I hate myself for saying it, but the rest if W3 is pointless

 

[dinostar77]

Why would RB send max out? No point.

 

[United Hobbit]

There's no harm someone like Albon trying but if I'm Max I wouldn't go out again

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Why would RB send max out? No point.

Thought I saw him going in to the garage

 

[Ahmer Baig]

Sainz should not have been in Q3.

 

[dinostar77]

Thought I saw him going in to the garage

I saw them put wets on, but they didnt send him out.

 

[dinostar77]

Sainz should not have been in Q3.

Should be getting a penalty

 

[pauldyson1uk]

If Alonso is saying it impossible, then call it.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Sainz will be getting a penalty, the question is how big.
Personally I think back of the grid.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

I was impressed with Max, never took any chances, just got on with it.

 

[United Hobbit]

Surely Sainz should be investigated for more than 1 incident

 

[Amar__]

He set up a fastest lap any time he was out today, didn't he? Pretty much everyone made a mistake or bad lap now and there, except Verstappen.

The guy is clearly league on its own.

 

[Dan]

Surely Sainz should be investigated for more than 1 incident

Yeah he did it twice.

 

[ArjenIsM3]

Sainz will be getting a penalty, the question is how big.
Personally I think back of the grid.

Back of the grid would be the only fair outcome. I mean, how many times did he impede? Completely fecked over Gasly that's for sure.

 

[Carl]

Anyone got the quali times?

 

[hobbers]

Back of the grid would be the only fair outcome. I mean, how many times did he impede? Completely fecked over Gasly that's for sure.

It's normally just 3 places per incident but i think you have to factor in just the sheer danger he caused stopping in such a stupid place.

 

[redshaw]

Impressive by Max to grab another second with more rain coming down.

Expecting a double Merc podium tomorrow

 

[Ahmer Baig]

Impressive by Max to grab another second with more rain coming down.

His team read the situation well and put him in front to start the Q3.

 

[Ahmer Baig]

Anyone got the quali times?

 

[BusbyMalone]

Impressive by Max to grab another second with more rain coming down.

Expecting a double Merc podium tomorrow

Yeah, the guy is on another level to anyone else on the grid. To put in that time when it's chucking it down is unreal.

 

[Gringo]

Wet, to dry, to wet again. Would have made a really chaotic race. Shame it petered out in the end. But top lap by Max.
