Wouldn't it be a sight if Perez overtook Russell on the last lap and cost Mercedes 2nd place

 

[gaskin]

Hahahaha. Really? The stewards are looking at that?

Scratch that

 

[gaskin]

5 seconds for Checo. I'd love to see the onboard because they must have seen something with his steering.

 

[largebus]

Mercedes owe Pérez a few cartons for being a shit overtaker

 

[gaskin]

Idiotic from Ferrari. They should have boxed Sainz 10 laps ago to give him a chance to move through the field.

 

[largebus]

Charles you moron, if you let him past you'll lose the points need to beat Mercedes.

 

[Iceman!]

The 5 second penalty means he will still finish ahead

 

[Iceman!]

Leclerc should retire and become the Ferrari strategist, even while driving he has those clowns covered.

Touché. Meant nothing in the end though.

 

[gaskin]

Almost big brained from Charles. He should have done it a lap earlier.

 

[Pugz89]

Fair play to Charles, doing Ferrari pit wall's job while in the car. Ferrari cocked it up so badly.

 

[Magma]

a fitting end to ferrari's season. ****ing up sainz's strat and losing out even with charles being the smartest person on the team

 

[Iceman!]

Touché. Meant nothing in the end though.

Yeah did all he could but in the end Perez sucks so it didn't matter

 

[Iceman!]

 

[gaskin]

Keep dreaming Checo. No chance you win the title next season.

Watching on a bit of delay….but don’t think PER should have copped a penalty for that

It is more of a penalty when you see the onboard.

 

[Gak Attack]

Imagine the poor people that work to produce that Ferrari. You put out the second best car on the grid and then watch a bunch of bumbling idiots run a race that a 6 year old could manage better.

Interesting fact:

Sergio Pérez is the first runner-up to score less than half the points of that year's champion

2023: Verstappen (575) to Pérez (285) - (49.57)%

1992: Mansell (108) to Patrese (56) - (51.85)%

1997: Villeneuve (81) to Frentzen (42) - (51.85)%

2001: Schumacher (123) to Coulthard (65) - (52.85)%

1971: Stewart (62) to Peterson (33) - (53.23)%

 

[Festerz]

The difference here of course is that Porsche is a vehicle/engine manufacturer and retailer whereas Red Bull Racing is a an F1 conglomerate substantially funded by the owner of a soft drink business but an interesting point nevertheless.

Crazy how dominant RB have been this year. Won't say it was the most enjoyable of years to watch. I'm wondering how many fans F1 will lose because of the predictability. You'd assume alot of casual fans. Hoping for a few more races winners next year.

Racing behind Max has been very close though, personally I think it has been a fun season

The racing has been pretty good for the most part if you take Max out of it. Four different teams competed for second place at different points in the season.

Is there a term for being so far ahead you can pit and not lose your place?
