[DGrayson]

Gotta go Ferrari. I understand black is the rage to to weight reduction but I need a bit of color + classic styling

 

[Fox Mulder]

Mercedes is gonna win every livery poll bro.

The 2023 intro :

 

[Urban]

Do you guys have any experience with sky and their 4k streams for F1?

 

[cormack12]

Alonso showing the fire. Stroll not doing too bad either for FP2.

[ForAcademicPurposes]

More like back to the back mercedes shitcunts

Max to win his third championship

 

[Airbus Jr]

Aston Mastin and Alonso becomes super fast

What the hell happened

 

[cormack12]

Lance does not stroll anymore, he runs

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Verstappen went two thirds slower than Hamilton... on the Hard compound.

 

[cormack12]

The back seems well snappy on both red bulls. Gasly is doing OK.

Both Ferraris need to jump up a notch. Merc is just in disguise before dropping back I think.

 

[cormack12]

And it's go go go. Until the red flag after 90 seconds.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Max dangled the carrot.

 

[cormack12]

Max just in another class.

What were ferrari thinking? Do RB only have 1 new and 1 used softs for tomorrow? And ferrari 2 new.

Does that make much of a difference on a one stop?

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

I'm here from the future, VER wins, 30s clear of the next car.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

McLaren really on form lol

 

[cormack12]

Just retire lando, topping him up with air lmao.

Too easy for max this, almost like ferrari have conceded for 2nd already

 

[cormack12]

Ocon lmao

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

1/2 way

Merc 35 secs behind

All fine nothing to see Toto

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Ocon lmao

Ocon going for a raceban% speedrun of the season.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Nando is just way too smart tbh, really maximizes what he can do as a driver.

 

[cormack12]

Well snoozefest up front.

Perez v alonso might lead to some good skirmishes in the future.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Picked up at the end. Alonso handled that race masterfully and earned a podium for his efforts. Some great racing there.

Good recovery drive by Gasly. He and Alpine managed the undercut superbly. Williams picking up a point on the first race is a good. Sargeant had good pace keeping up with Albon.

A lot of work for Ferrari. Race pace not quite there and they cannot afford fragility. Mercedes average today. Nightmare for Haas. Absolutely ridiculous by McLaren who barely have a functional F1 car right now.

Dominant and comprehensive win by Verstappen. Roll on Jeddah.

 

[SkylineRKR]

I am dutch but Alonso is the driver of the day by far. He's a legend. I also feel sad for LeClerc. I am hoping for a fight. And Ferrari's strategy (from Hard to Hard?) + technical problems seem to be no better than they were.

Max in the best car is not going to lose, boring, but its how it is. Last year his start of the championship was horrible and Ferrari was doing good. Now, Ferrari starts bad and RB has a 1-2 already. Mercedes doesn't seem to be competitive. This season is over by summer break if no freak accidents happen.

 

[AJUMP23]

I will vote for whoever wrecks Hamilton.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Incredible what Aston Martin has achieved. Even if it's mainly because of the people they've brought from Red Bull it's still more legit (and better for their long term chances) than doing a 1:1 copy of another car like they've done in the past. Fernando got lucky at the start and then he drove a brilliant race with some small slides making his fights even more entertaining.
Very good races from Pierre and Alex, I think even Williams were expecting to be last, but that's not the case. McLaren was laughably bad, also disappointing to see Hulk drop out of top10 immediately and never getting close to it again.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Alonso shined but Stroll looked good too with his injuries and little practice. They really made a huge jump with a car blended with Mercedes customer parts and Redbull inspired aero tested in the Mercedes wind tunnel.

 

[Jorav]

A predictable result for RB. Really wish Ferrari and Merc improved over the break, RBs pace is ominous for the rest of the season. Midfield looks shaken up in a good way. A bad day for Ocon is a good day for everyone. Mclaren not starting well is a bit of karma for last year. Danny Ric probably smiling while he has his feet up.

 

[lukilladog]

Max just in another class.

...

So why was he refusing to slow down the pace unless Checo was ordered to do the same?.

Aston Mastin and Alonso becomes super fast

What the hell happened

They borrowed two leader engineers from RB and Mercedes (Blandin and Fallows), among a few others. I expect them to bring the heat at RB at some part of the season because they are still working on the new car and have some serious upgrades on the way... and of course RB has like half the time on the wind tunnel to develop parts.

They had to do hard to hard only red bull had a car with good tire wear to do softs for 2 stints. That car has insane tire wear red bull was doing stints on softs as long as most teams on hards.

The aero testing allowance will be interesting. AM finished 7th last year and will have loads more time over the top teams. Redbull even got extra reduction due to the cost cap penalty.

 

[Silver Wattle]

Stolen from reddit., someone also mentioned that the allocations of aero time are set mid year.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Still my favorite bit:

 

[tamam]

Redbull for me. Beautiful beast of a machine that is

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

10 place grid penalty

 

[cormack12]

Race 2, engine penalty.

 

[cormack12]

Max Vercrappen?

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

#TeamFerrari because liberal media tried to vilify their drivers. Max cool too.

 

[FunkMiller]

British F1 fans at the moment.

 

[Icymanipulator]

Watching free practice today in Jeddah… damn how good would it be for Alonso to beat Max.

Really hope Mercedes get their shit together. I want Hamilton to break the record and get an 8th title. I don’t care where he does it either, Mercedes, Ferrari, Aston Martin…

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Haas above Mercedes? Lol.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Max is sponsored by EA, he forgot to pay for the Saudi Arabia Qualifying DLC.

 

[cormack12]

Well it will only be lap 8 before Max is first

 

[Urban]

Well it will only be lap 8 before Max is first

Not close but he is on his way.

I don’t think anybody can beat that combo this year
