F1 2023 Season

Wonder how many of the drivers in that group photo will be finishing next season...

Am I making it up that they used to present the driver's championship trophy at the last race of the season? I know they give it at a dinner but I'm sure it used to be in front of the fans?
 
paul pogba lurking around brundle, hoping he gets a chance to impart his drug cheat wisdom on the world.
 
Vasseur giving the security guard the deathstare for blocking Brundle :lol:

Surely everyone working security on the grid knows who he is by now
 
How did Leclerc not take the position there? That's normally a no-brainer overtake.
 
Why don't they have DRS on the first 2 laps? It's when they're closet together and would have been interesting in keep Charles up with Max
 
:nervous: @rpitroda how About yours?!

9th Fernando Alonso Aston Martin
10th Esteban Ocon Alpine

Really tight race. Strategy option between one or two stops will play crucial part. I can see even Max/Leclerc making mistake with just one pitstop.

Did you change your order?! Pretty sure yesterday you had Hamilton ahead of Russell!

Yours look a bit better than mine -

Leclerc doing well. Sainz also managing his tyres for a 1 stop.

Lewis should be called in for that flappy wing

Because virtually the entire field will be within DRS range of the car in front all with cold tyres and brakes. You need the race to settle into a rhythm first.
 
@United Hobbit sorry that’s wrong I changed it after that:

Nope not touched it as don't want to sacrifice the bonus. We have the exact same top 3 and fast lap so it all comes down to Perez and co...
 
Pretty embarrassing display so far from Hamilton when his team needs him.
 
It's so frustrating seeing everyone just give up and let RB cars through as if a blue flag was being waved
 
this should never be a end of season track. utter crap. petro oil money to thank for this shite.
 
It doesn't help the drivers and constructors was wrapped up so long ago, I know there's the minor places still to play for but they're not as exciting as the first place
 
That was so funny from Alonso - we have the slowest car on the straight...by far.
Then he overtakes Hamilton.
