Perez has won so many undeserved DOTD votes on the back of his shit qualifying performances.
I think it should have gone to Lando. Being able to keep Checo behind like that in the last stint was impressive!
Well its not DOTWeekend
Max was probably coasting most of the race while Perez was pushing. He still finished over half a minute behind Max. That was not only a shit qualifying performance, but also a bad performance today.
ahh yes, the weekly shifting of the perez expectation goalposts.
That manoeuvre is basically called “doing a Perez” at this point.
At least he makes it entertaining
not on his own merit
Sure, but still better than just seeing 2 red bulls just sail out front into a 1, 2
Not bad from Ricciardo , out scoring Tsunoda after being hit by Zhou at the start
And his last 40 or so laps were on the same set of medium tires!
I agree, not too bad of a drive from him!Although both Alpines retiring certainly helped.
For his overall finishing position, certainly, but his main objective will be to finish ahead of Tsunoda consistently.
You’re right–I think any chance he has for a seat next year comes down to outperforming Tsunoda.
Guys I think we should pitch in and hire a therapist for Charles
🥲
He should have let Sainz on the soft tires pass. I think it’s karma
Foster kitten is transfixed. She loves F1
I assume she’s a Purrez fan?
Or maybe Oscat Piastri
Hopefully not a Purre Gasly fan 😹
Kimi Meowkönen
Time to foster fail, she’s a keeper
Goes to her furever home on Friday sadly. Been a fun 6 weeks with her
Aww sweet
What a start by Piastri! He’s so impressive for a rookie.
Let’s hope he’ll start getting some recognition soon, I can’t believe how few people are hyping him!
I agree, I think more people will notice now that he’s got a competitive car. He hasn’t been that far off Lando all season
And Lando is considered by many to be one of the best on the grid, only a hair behind the elites like Lewis/Max. Super impressive for a damn rookie!
Underrated part of Max’s driving is just how damn good he is at conserving tyres.
Consistently the last to pit on the same tyres… (along with Alonso)
He definitely deserves the “tire whisperer” monicker more than Checo.
He got that moniker partly because Racing Point loved starting on hards and going long. Not to say he didn’t execute well, but it was also a product of strategy.
also those were the old 13 inch tires
I don’t think Checo figured out the 18 inch tires like Max has
Great point, absolutely agreed!
I was laughing when the podium cars were lined up. Max’s tires were absolutely shredded, Checo’s were fairly bad, Lando’s had some light wear. Max makes it look easy to drive on tires that look like they were in a warzone.
It is bits of rubber outside of trajectory. Drivers drive on them after crossing finish line. They stick to the tires and add some weight. It helps from DQ in some cases.
Well, that is one way of swapping Charles and Carlos.
Crazy how firmly Ferrari have established themselves as the perpetual butt of the joke.
Lol 5s for causing 2 DNF +sending Ric down to last. WTF
Penalties are absolutely random.
Might as well just send it into the midfield, gain 10 places and take the 5s
Yea I was sure he would get 10s at the very least but the 5s is almost worth it
They really need to change the approach, they should consider the outcome of the driver’s actions.
Yeah ridiculous that taking 2 drivers out is as bad as running wide 3 times
They’re always pretty lenient on incidents at race starts.
Yeah it makes sense but I think the track limit thing needs to change. I think Norris has 2 Track limit infringements right now… Maybe I’m just a bit traumatized by Austria tbh
I reckon that’s fair. Probably as bad as going of the track 3 times
/s
Verstappen’s utter dominance aside I like this season. It’s very unpredictable from 2 to 16
Agreed. Enjoying it immensely. Amazing to see how McLaren jumped forward. Felt sorry for Zhou though that was a bad break
And Gasly had a fantastic start too, that was such bad luck.
They just said his seat broke in half when his car landed. That must have been a pretty painful incident too.
That was Esteban iirc
Excited to see what the Alfa Romeos can do. The victory will easily go to Max though I think.
Let’s see how aggressive he and Lewis get on lap 1
You have to think that Lewis has nothing to gain by settling for 2nd, and Max wouldn’t let his own kid win a backyard race, so he’s not conceding anything
That’s a possibility indeed that something would happen at the start. But in a clean race,
I can’t see Lewis or anyone else matching Max’s pace.
Let’s go. Super exited about this race.
Hyped! Looking out for
- If and how long Lewis can hold P1
- Both McClaren and Alfa Romeo keeping in the points at the end
- Perez battles and climbing up
- Ferrari strategy not working
- DANNY RICCCCC
I’m just stoked there’s two Aussies on the F1 grid, and they’re both good, and, if the stars align, they both get points.
Also the possibility of a bit of Hammy v Max battling again, even just a bit.
Same here. It’s shaping up to be a good one.
Inb4 max is 3s clear at the end of lap 1
Inb4 max is 3s clear at the end of lap 1
With Lando and Lewis retiring after a collision.
Mate… please… it would have cost you literally nothing to not have written that comment
Same, the return of danny ric… let’s go motorracing!
Come on Ricciardo!!
I’m a max fan, but a 33 second victory is insane
force him to start in p15
It genuinely doesn’t matter. We’ve already seen it. Remember Miami?
Mclaren is looking insane. That car is rapid and this isn’t where they thought they’d be good but they’re fucking nailing it. Same with their Pitstops. A few years ago we were clowning how bad their pit crews were, this is a far cry from that
It’s great to see how much of a jump they’ve made mid-season. They’re where Aston Martin was at the start of the season, but with two competitive drivers.
Piastri has impressed quite a bit. I was iffy on him before the season and even the beginning of the season. I’ve been proved wrong though. He’s keeping up where he needs to
I completely agree. He’s only been a little behind Lando all season, which is pretty impressive for a rookie.
Yeah now it’s like what happened to Alonzo? It’s like he dropped out of sight after McLaren got those upgrades
RB is going to win the rest of this, aren’t they
That is such a crazy record to beat. And if what crofty is saying is Monza could wrap the constructors and Singapore could wrap the drivers.
This season has been a write-off since Bahrain is we’re being honest. Most people didn’t want to be pessimistic but the expert analysts warned us even after testing already, and after a handful of races it was definitely clear.
What I’m curious about is whether anyone else can win before 2026. I know it sounds negative but the cars are more reliable than ever and the driver quality of the grid is higher than ever, so the chances of random incidents taking out both RBs are lower than they’ve ever been. And Max himself has basically completely cut out mistakes from his driving.
