F1 The Wash Up - Previous 2024 Race Weekends

[Gunf]

The manipulation would be worse if you didn't allow them.

It might be Norris' only chance to win a WC in his career and for Mclaren to do so in the near future.

On the flip side, if Mclaren is the best next season form the start, you want things to happen so that Piastri isn't undermined. That means playing the team game this year.

Hmm i couldn't care less if Lando or MCL or Albon or Williams or whoever wins a WDC all i want is every race to be as exciting as possible and team orders have destroyed that many times so i say ban them.

Go and watch Formula Vee racing then.

Even if there were one-car teams, there would be controlled results and collusion between teams.

Jesus Christ, these people...

and justified

10k fine seems ridiculously light in the scheme of things.

I can understand not penalising the driver when it usually others in the team that are responsible, but 10k is hardly a disincentive

it was clearly not oscar's fault. he was waved in. it was poor but i don't think a crash was likely, so 10 grand seems about right.

I understand the sentiment but while a constructor can have multiple cars in the championship, there will always be some form of team orders when one driver isnt a chance of winning the WDC.

I mean, they did ban team orders before and all it led to was "Fernando is faster than you"

I know but i can dream of good racing every race surely

LOL old mate keeping it pinned through the bollards at turn 1 in F3

No need to be aggressive and tell me to stop watching something i love it is just an opinion.

 

[Father Jack]

I personally thought McLaren nagging Lando for half a race to give his spot back made for excellent viewing

 

[BomberFan355]

F3 title went down to the final corner, good to watch.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Watching the F2 Feature Race and Bearman makes Mazespin look good with his in pack racing. He's caused two incidents so far.

What was the first incident?

 

[Bradesmaen]

What was the first incident?

He lost part of his front wing in the first corner at the start.

 

[Barrybran]

Entertaining F2 race. Bodes well for the main event.

I know he's much younger than DeVries, but getting similar vibes (putting a driver in the car after a late call up, despite not showing much in F2). Reckon he may struggle at F1 next year.

His only saving grace is that he is young. Surprised Zane Moloney doesn't get more kudos considering his background and his results which are actually better than Bearman (beat him in F3)

De vries won f2 though, bearman hasn't got near it in 2 attempts

What he has is a rich dad.

2 x 2 x 2 x 2…
Is this the friggin’ Ark?

 

[Jatz]

Not unlike someone we were discussing last week…

 

[Aussie pie]

**** you Nicco, talking about team orders before they even start that Oscar shouldn’t be allowed to pass Lando on the first lap. Nicco has gone full cult with the “British” Sky F1

 

[Duck Farmer]

So if Oscar beats Lando into Turn 1 are they still going to crap on about team orders and how Norris should sacrifice the first few laps keeping the rest of the field at bay so they don't cook their tyres?

 

[juice t]

 

[Jatz]

Reckon Lando will nail this one. Think having Oscar next to him is less intimidating than having Max next to him.

 

[Bradesmaen]

And Lance won 14 races of 30 in the FIA F3 European Championship (now folded) on his way to a title that year. That's more than Max and George did. Bearman has not done anything above F4 level.
