F1 2024 British Grand Prix - Race Weekend Thread

[DamoESP]

Good God, a British 1-2-3….. Sky F1 will be more unbearable than usual

 

[DamoESP]

If it's a dry race I'd expect Verstappen to get by them all. If a wet race... well, it could get aggressive between the Mercs.

Yeah he had damage and two moments during his lap and still managed 4th….

 

[DamoESP]

For those playing at home, Sargeant has now out qualified Perez 6 times this year…..

 

[DamoESP]

How good is this footage with no commentary?

 

[gaskin]

Thank god I will not be watching live and will be torrenting the F1TV feed so I don't have to listen to Crofty creaming himself.

Listening to Stella it seems like Oscar was compromised by the position he was in and fighting with others to cross the line in time. Considering McLaren usually have them out early I am surprised they left it so late.

I noticed that he was close behind Sainz and a car represented by a green dot on the track map, and thought they would be pushing it to get a fast lap started before the chequered flag came out.

How many times does this make now, where Piastri's race has been screwed up by a team mistake? The last 2 races were ruined by driver errors, but there have been a lot of team errors affecting Oscar this year.

Crofty was terrible on commentary today, vomit inducing.

 

[gaskin]

Watching Daniel's onboard he copped the traffic as well compromising the start of his lap.

He is always awful.

The former British Darts championship commentator was simply being true to form - shouty cheerleading giving the British audience everything they wanted.

And apart from Brundle, the flag waving from every single one of the Sky team was vomit inducing.

Should petition Foxtel/Kayo to swap to the SkyItalia commentary with subtitles or something every British GP weekend.

I think Perez was a little unlucky. One of the first out on slicks and both Red Bulls went off the track. Certainly not a good look for him but I don't think today is a deal breaker.

 

[ReidBetweenTheLines]

So what lap does Verstappen take the lead? We all know somehow he will get the win

 

[Not Important]

happens to the best.

 

[Not Important]

things a getting a bit willing between r.b and mclaren

Stella would correct Verstappen: 'We won't back up drivers at any cost'

Andrea Stella called on the stewards after the Austrian Grand Prix to punish fouls such as those committed by Max Verstappen. Verstappen and Red Bull seem to care little about McLaren, but Stella is very pleased with the FIA's response.

yep! but he's not driving well. had he been driving well i reckon he'd be in peco's seat by now. i think that was horner's intention when he levered him into this seat.

He's been fairly good lately but yeah if he'd been a bit better he probably has the seat. Would be good to see him in the RB for a raxe to see what he does.

Looks bright and sunny for the F3 feature race so probably will be a dry race tonight

 

[happy_eagle]

Are we looking at a multiple stop race again ?
Last few have been good with most doing a 2 stopper. A few teams will be wary of going too long and having tyres blow up like they did a few years ago.

Pirelli are saying it should be a 1 stopper but it will probably end up being 2.

 

[Barrybran]

I'd love for Pirelli to build tyres where all races have a minimum of two stops

It doesn't even have to be that. The FIA could easily make a rule saying all 3 compounds must be used in a race to force 2 stop races.

Not sure it's that the tyres are all too hard, just for some reason they seem to aim for 1-2 stops as the ideal rather than 2-3. They brought the three hardest compounds to Silverstone this week. The C5 compound is seldom seen.

So you don't like car racing then?

One-stop races aren't all that interesting. Different strategies and increased opportunities for errors make racing more interesting.

And amazingly has still never out-qualified Albon
