F1 2024 Azerbaijan Grand Prix - Race Weekend Thread

[Aussie pie]

Go Oscar you star, screw you Lando

 

[ptrg]

Would like to see Perez onboard, didn’t look like anyone came sharply across. Didn’t even look like Sainz moved at all really

Sainz maintained whatever line he was going in. When you’re coming from behind! It’s on you to not simply drive/drift straight into them.

1000% Perez’s fault

 

[Satan]

Never in doubt

 

[Gak Attack]

What a race!

 

[99 Problems]

This is a real statement drive from Oscar. His ability to make tough, clean moves is unreal but now he’s held off one of the best drivers on the grid, looked after his tyres and defended brilliantly.

What a day for McLaren, especially given where Lando started. 1st and 4th with Ferrari and RB both having a DNF.

 

[Magma]

even after, you just get a 'yess'. remarkable.

 

[Shifty1]

You can tell inside Oscar is jumping for joy

 

[Barrybran]

LeClerc poles won by Oscar: 1

 

[smasha]

Go go go Piastri,the fighting Tiger!

 

[Gak Attack]

Most stressful of his life and sounds like he's going for a gentle stroll.

 

[Hawks1523]

Oscar still so calm and relaxed after that race. No big emotional outpour like drivers usually after a win lol

 

[Eaglemaniac]

How good is this kid? That defending was amazing!

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

Sainz maintained whatever line he was going in. When you’re coming from behind! It’s on you to not simply drive/drift straight into them.

1000% Perez’s fault

Perez was probably fighting the red mist from Leclerc slamming the door the corner before.

 

[NSWCROW]

Not bad for a number 2 driver !

 

[Toffee Lion]

Oscar is the epitome of professionalism.

 

[ptrg]

Haha Oscar sounding like he’s just been leisurely cruising down beach rd in Bayside.

Oh and “Oscar, it’s Zac - as No2, we’re gonna need you to go and give your points to our boy Lando”

 

[BobbyMorri]

Haha, Russell, the guy who takes advantage of a 2 car crash again, just like Austria

What a race. Oscar and Charles drove so well, glad they finished 1 and 2.

That accident cost Max the fastest lap and Gave Norris that instead.

 

[Barrybran]

Colapinto in the points as well

Which should tell you how shit Sargeant was

Should be a good DTS episode for Williams

 

[largebus]

Does that dual wipeout by Perez actually give Lando a bigger gap in points over Max now (this race)?

Yep. Any remaning bridges between the two red bulls will be burnt to a crisp

 

[ptrg]

Wow that’s a big public admission that Ferrari are struggling for parts - that or he’s trying to really get RB punished

 

[Magma]

how on earth did williams give sargeant as long as they did and colapinto has been on it immediately?

 

[Barrybran]

Shame really takes a bit off a bloody outstanding drive from Oscar.

Not at all. He made his move several laps out and those behind weren't catching him.

 

[Forward Press]

Credit to Karun, commentated the last bit very well.

Piastri has arrived and stamped himself as a potential world drivers champion. And we're all for it.

 

[Guardian Hawk]

Well done Oscar- what a gun!

Can be no questions about that win.

Kind of love he has as may race wins in his career as Lando (more if you count the sprint)

 

[Macca19]

Fantastic drive Oscar
