F1 The Wash Up - Previous 2024 Race Weekends

[Skull Face]

I don't blame Kimi for that crash. I didn't see the session but apparently everyone was struggling at Parabolica. With the new track design there and the fresh tarmac the cars were having a hard time finding grip. Supposedly Colapinto also almost binned it there but managed to save it. It seems like it was just his inexperience that got him.

When you are a rookie getting thrown in for an fp1 session all they want from you is consistant laps so they can work on setup not headline qually lap times. Get used to the car, get into a rhythum and provide feedback. Kimi looked like he was out there to grab a headline and finish p1 every lap and got bitten on the arse by it when we all know the team wouldn't have been asking for it.

Not sure how you can blame anyone but him, pushed the limits when he wasn't asked to and if he keeps this up mercedes will have uncovered the next logan sargeant not max verstappen.

Hmm if the Ferrari upgrades are as good as they look we could have a decent race behind the MCL pair

I expect Norris and Oscar to be in front by a fair bit but we could be in for a nice race(for Monza standards) between Max the Mercs and Ferraris.

 

[Festerz]

Well that crash 10 minutes in didn’t derail his career.

Mercedes have confirmed Antonelli will join Russell next year.

That leaves 2 seats yet to be confirmed for 2025 - Sauber, and Red Bull / VCARB.

Sauber is interesting. No announcement about Bottas NOT driving for them next year but there must be some merit to the idea that one of Perez/Ricciardo/Lawson will be driving for them next year.

Red Bulls looking slow. Perez will need to drive well to get into Q3

 

[Gunf]

Hmm i wonder if the RB upgrades have made things slower again as Ric has seemed more comfortable and faster than Yuki most of the weekend.

Is Rosberg wearing a wig?

Maybe this is why horner was being so adamant about lawson possibly being in a different seat in 2025 (although i think he was just protecting marko).

 

[Festerz]

Is Rosberg wearing a wig?

Seems to me he has the same hair as his dad so no.

Why? Are you a hairdresser interested in future clients or just keen on Nico generally?

Either way an odd question in an F1 thread.

Nice McLaren...

Nice McLaren...

I was just about to say something along those lines. ****ing mclaren ****ed Oscar over again.

 

[Festerz]

Oscar sure to get pinged for an unsafe release.

 

[largebus]

Is that a grid penalty for Oscar?

 

[gaskin]

If Colapinto is struggling to keep the car on track here how the hell is he going to go at Singapore in a couple of races?

A team fine.

To be fair a lot of the better drivers are getting wheels in the gravel. The new layout seems to be giving them trouble

 

[ReidBetweenTheLines]

Any of 5 drivers could get pole here.

I’m guessing:
1)Norris
2)Hamilton
3)Max
4)Piastri
5)Russell

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Why is Oscar going out again? I hope he’s not wasting a new set of tyres.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Geez that's a good effort from Ricciardo in that shitbox.

 

[gaskin]

They were used.

 

[Vader]

If the Mercedes are running so low that the drivers are complaining about hot seats, are they likely to run into problems with plank wear by the end of the race?

Lol. Good Joke Crofty. Perez put in a lap and put his car ahead of one of the front runners. The only way that is happening is if someone bins it.

Today is the dangerous release in front of Max Verstappen challenge
