i think it'll be between Ferrari and McLaren, but also Mercedes and Aston Martin seem strong in the long runs



Williams struggling either, normally Albon has been pretty fast too but this track is too bumpy for them either

That was some bottle job by George. Also him saying he should have won the race. There wasn't a hope he would do it on the last lap. Bad weekend for Max but still managed to extend his lead in the drivers. Can see him winning it in the sprint in Qatar which will be a bad look.

So was that just a one -off .. a track that didn’t suit Red Bull ??

Yeah it's been a notorious track for the dominant cars in years gone by. I fully expect Red Bull to be back this weekend. I wonder will some teams like Ferrari and McLaren struggle now the technical directive will be more apparent.

Stroll will be back for the Japan GP this weekend

his car has been fully repaired

Nicky91 21-09-2023 08:51 AM

although in Free Practice 1, he might be replaced by test driver Felipe Drugovich, whom according to the official FIA rules that all test drivers must make enough minutes on the track in a season too


i wonder when Red Bull will make Max sit one session out for their test driver :think:

Iceman 23-09-2023 12:50 PM

That lap by Max was just something else.

Ricciardo and Yuki announced fir next year too

Simply not suited to the track ?

Max back to winning ways !!


On a separate note ..

I hate these yellow flag / safety cars restarts !!

Someone gets 6 seconds ahead … then for whatever reason a safety car comes out and they all get bunched up together !!

It means the guy at the front may have to win the race about 4 times !!


Have they always done this ??

Anyone know what happened 30 years ago ?

Max can be the champion in 2 weeks from now, next race in Qatar




good one for McLaren too, 2-3 and Piastri driver of the day :love:

Iceman 24-09-2023 11:01 AM

Unfortunately he's gonna win it on the Saturday sprint which I'm not entirely happy about. Maybe it will be good.

I’m a Max fan so I’m ecstatic :)

Interesting that Hamilton is being regularly beaten by his young teammate after all those years of dominance in the fastest car ..

Maybe he wasn’t such a brilliant driver after all just an aggressive driver in the fastest car

i mean Sauber will have to come up with another temporary rebrand until 2026 when they begin working with Audi

his luck more like that Red Bull is back to the same form as with Vettel's winning streak ;)


if Daddy Jos had a better car back in the day, he would've deffo done a lot better too, he had the potential for sure, his former teammate and still good friend Pedro De La Rosa also said that recently in a interview




F1 for me personally gotten weaker, driver quality wise


back in the day when we had the likes of Jarno Trulli, Jean Alesi, Olivier Panis, Nick Heidfeld, Jenson Button, Takuma Sato for the ''lesser'' teams


Eddie Irvine i kinda want to compare to Sergio Perez, similar mentality there, not champion material but a hard worker, same how Barrichello was a strong force in Schumi and mostly Ferrari's dominance, those were the golden days of Ferrari, when they had better duo's: Schumi/Irvine, Schumi/Barrichello rather than now with Leclerc and Sainz whom both go for own successes rather than the one helping the other, holding back the rest of the grid or in quali's driving in each others slipstream



Frentzen was also a great driver, back when Williams slayed sub top


one driver who never won anything, but i still liked him a lot, Alexander Wurz, very strong and competitive in the quali's, doing his best going for fastest times, his son Charlie btw now scouted by Red Bull's Helmut Marko :)



Fisichella i stanned big time, superb teammate to Alonso at Renault, Briatore btw was a similar father figure as Horner and Helmut is to Max now, back then at that renault dream team

Fisichella still supports Alonso, and even says he still has potential to win some races

Poleiastri :worship: and Norris 2nd in sprint shootout


McLaren another super duo same potential i think of a healthy rivalry as Hakkinen - Coulthard


i see so much potential in that Piastri, same eagerness as what Mika had

Iceman 08-10-2023 04:54 PM

This 3 stop race will be interesting.

Zizu 08-10-2023 07:00 PM

I set it to record the race as usual.. it’s registered on the tv guide screen but it didn’t actually record the damn race !!

That’s the first glitch I’ve had with SkyQ

I’ll unplug everything tonight and have a fresh start
