F1 2023 Season

Crofty going on a lovely monologue about how RB are choking because it's the race they can win the championship :lol:

What an imbecile.
 
I don't mind seeing frustrated Max again for a change. Could make for a fun race. Seems unlike him to impede like that though, so id be curious what his reason might have been.
 
Lawson and Yuki is a really good driver pairing. They should bin Daniel.
 
This has to be Technical Directive related. No-one for one circuit, has that much of drop off.
 
Why is this track particularly bad for Red Bull? It’s not THAT unique of a circuit is it?
It has slow corners and 90 degree corners. The RB is best at med/high speed corners. However the front end isnt biting in, that is so wierd for what has been a sensational race car this season.

It must be TD related. There were rumours the floor needed to be changed as did the front wing, to be compliant. We will know for sure in Suzuka. That is not normal for a Championship winning car. Even at Mercedes peak, there were a few tracks they were weak at, they still made the top six.
 
So it's probably nothing to do with the floors on the RB. I guess we'll see in Suzuka.
 
One TD change wouldn’t stop a team being so far ahead then be out qualified by their B team. It will be a mixture of things including setup and tyres. The race pace will be interesting. Then we will see at other races but they will fix it by then if it is.
 
I had Max to win...

Not able to watch as out but shocked he didn't even get out of Q2 what happened?

Martin Brundle said it is aerodynamics related. Something has fundamentally changed on the car.
 
Race should be a cracker tomorrow. McLaren and Mercedes and Alonso all faster than Ferrari on long runs. Max fighting from probably 14th.
 
Do I sacrifice 2 points to take Max off the podium on superbru.

I say no.
