F1 2025 Chinese Grand Prix - Race Weekend thread

[Gak Attack]

I can’t stand the overhyping of the Brit drivers as much as anyone else, but people complaining when we are watching British coverage is kind of funny. As if it wouldn’t be 99% Oscar if we had Aussie coverage.

Except they know they've sold to other markets

Freaking Sainz. Right there. Who cares if he’s 30. He can sign for Audi in 2026. Just an epic fail

100%, Sainz is a fantastic driver and I think would be brilliant in the RB, it’s just such a dumb move. Politics at its finest.

 

[Magma]

even just listening to lawson he sounds done.

Yes but they’re Brit’s. Of course they’re gonna back their guys. My brain just sort of blocks it out by now, seeing some people still whinge about its kinda funny to me.

The thing that Doohan has going for him is that Gasly isn't outperforming him.

Yes he is. Doohan is the worst driver on the grid

 

[Acinath]

“Ferrari hold that front row as they did in Melbourne”

Crofty doing Crofty things

With the money Colapinto brings he has to be outperforming Gasly to stay in the seat

Great job Oscar!

 

[Forward Press]

Great for Oscar tbh, having George Russell next to him.

Let's go for tomorrow...

 

[Ghost Patrol]

Oscar!

Haha George P2

 

[Gak Attack]

Yes Oscar. Where did George pull that from!

 

[gaskin]

Get the **** in Oscar!!

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Piastri Pole!

 

[Bedi]

Well done Oscar! Handy having Russell as a buffer too

 

[my name was taken]

Well deserved pole .

Brings in the team orders discussion as well which always ruffles feathers

 

[Black_White]

Get in there Oscar!

 

[Gunf]

Need Lando to have an abysmal start again and Oscar to just drive away with it

 

[FreoRicci]

Helps that Oscar has Russell blocking Lando at the start

 

[happy_eagle]

Lead into turn 1 and then manage the race from there hopefully.

I had to rewind……….twice.
Because I just heard Karun nominate Oscar for pole this arvo.
Has he been replaced by a replicant?

We'll get Rick Deckard on the case

Great God.
Karun was right!

great to see oscar get his first poll. i see horner suggesting poll isn’t going to be so important cos the track is damaging tyres to such an extent. clear air matters,christian.

zak firing a shot across the bow.
