F1 2025 Australian Grand Prix - Race Weekend Thread

[Cromulant]

Antonelli out, Bortoleto out qualified Hulk !!

 

[Gak Attack]

Great work by Jack.

Lawson picking up where Checo left off

 

[gaskin]

Lol Antonelli out as well. Imagine getting knocked out by a Sauber in a Merc.

 

[drd23]

Great first qualifying session for Bortoletto - out-qualified his teammate, knocked out a Mercedes and made Q2

 

[Toffee Lion]

Just get Yuki in the RB seat already. Lawson hasn't got it.

 

[Black_White]

Cars ****ed so looks like the answer will be no.

I’m sure he will try again next race….

 

[Cromulant]

Odds on Jack making the 10 ??

Would be an enormous f you to Colapinto

Rough start for Lawson, Kimi and Bearman.

Solid start for Doohan and Bortoletto

 

[Black_White]

Lawson out.

That Red Bull looks a handful.

Doohan makes it through

The RB is a handful because the driver never had the opportunity to dial it in. What did he have, under 20 laps?
Have a look how much better the RB progressed in Max’s hands when given track time.

 

[Gasometer]

Mr Lawson not as good as he thinks he is?

 

[largebus]

Happy to see the Kiwi fail. Also happy to see Doohan make it, every qualy he doesn't make it through it is a step closer to being shown the door

 

[Black_White]

Mr Lawson not as good as he thinks he is?

Let the man have 3 full practise sessions before you pull the trigger.

 

[Duck Farmer]

Rough start for Lawson, Kimi and Bearman.

Solid start for Doohan and Bortoletto

Hadjar solid as well.

 

[happy_eagle]

Hadjar solid as well.

Knew there was one I was forgetting. Yes, I think both RB drivers are going to be putting pressure on Lawson during the season.

Its also about driving style

You hear Dan and Albon talk about how pointy Max wants the car. You've gotta have huge courage to drive a car like that

 

[drd23]

Decent first lap by Max in Q2

And then both McLaren's go even better

 

[gaskin]

Cracking lap from Oscar.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Horror first weekend in the big team for Lawson

Sergio MKII

 

[Skull Face]

The weather forecast makes me think Max will win, but I want Oscar of course.

It will be a dry race 100%, they can't forcast ahead to save themselves it was meant to be 36 today and the rain was finishing before 3pm tomorrow cool change has come early which means the rain will be 3+ hours ahead of schedule we won't see rain after lunch

 

[Gasometer]

Let the man have 3 full practise sessions before you pull the trigger.

After a nauseating DTS viewing last weekend of ego flagellation, he can slide right down the back of the pack for all I care.

 

[Gasometer]

Cracking lap from Oscar.

He needs Pole or 2 with the potential rain

 

[Boxhead_31]

Great first qualifying session for Bortoletto - out-qualified his teammate, knocked out a Mercedes and made Q2

Marko with egg all over his face

 

[gaskin]

So Antonelli was driving around with a broken car losing 3 tenths to George on each straight.

 

[Cromulant]

Sergio MKII

So he'll win a few races??

He'll take that

 

[Gasometer]

Whose going to come a cropper in Turn 6

It’s going to happen…
