F1 The Wash Up - Previous 2024 Race Weekends

[Festerz]

Great race. Well done Russell with an unbelievable strategy call that gave him the win.

Another great race. George has to be driver of the day. Lewis would definitely be starting to worry about his move now. Oscar did well unfortunately cost himself the win with that pitstop.

Piastri probably would have won on a 1 stop

Or if he didnt lose 2 seconds on the 2nd stop

Well done bug-eyes. No way does that strategy work without the DRS changes.
Dunno why Oscar didn't consider it but I guess his tyre management is still a work in progress.

His Tyre management seemed fine with a fastest lap after 24 laps on the tyres.
Just no one considered it other than George

 

[smasha]

Awesome race.
Well deserved Russell.
Piastri,a tremendous podium.

Lewis is going to feel like he’s had a win stolen there poor bastard.

Best race I’ve seen in years. F1 is in as strong as a position as it’s been in some time!

Geez a bold call for McLaren could have won this for Oscar.

Difference is Russell didn't have much to lose by trying it, worst he'd drop 2 spots to the end of the leading pack.

Whereas Oscar was already looking at a podium with a standard 2 stop, and had the tires gone off, would have blown that up

 

[Gak Attack]

Yeh it's only hindsight, was a big gamble. McLaren definitely are not risk takers.

Given the feedback he gave about being in clear air maybe they should have. Oh well at least he still got past Charles.

 

[Magma]

think the dirty air there really made it difficult to overtake with similar pace cars. even charles max and lando were still line astern at the end too.

 

[ptrg]

Haha George to his team "amazing stategy!!"

It was his own haha

 

[Boxhead_31]

Take those 2sec's off of Oscar from going long in the box and he wins

 

[FR0GGY]

No one thinks more about strategy than George, so hats off for him for it to pay off.

The shortened DRS zone caused those DRS trains

Russell almost certainly wouldn't have pulled off that strategy without it

 

[ptrg]

For every one of these, he has 3-4 races where hes the first to put the slicks on in the wet and sails into walls, etc..

He gambles more than most, but when you're chasing victories specifically, and you're not one of the top two or three, then it's probably not a bad strategy

 

[Jatz]

I’m the biggest Lewis fan you’ll find, driver of the day finishing before the end of the race is stupid haha. George clearly DOTD.

Would have had 2 or 3 laps to pass both Hamilton and Russell, not quite the same as a guaranteed win.

 

[Duck Farmer]

Hamilton DOTD WTF?

 

[barrackers]

If Piastri doesn’t overshot the pit box he’s on the mercs a couple of laps earlier, which may have been enough

 

[Barrybran]

Good drive Oscar. Go and enjoy a cuddle for a couple of weeks.

 

[jabba5114]

Wow don't know how Lewis got the vote for driver of the day

George's racing suits always look like the Chinese factories that make them just assume tall must = fat.

Could fit two rakes in there

I think second might have been achievable. Passing two cars would have been very difficult.

 

[my name was taken]

Did Daniel lose p10?

+ There is no way Merc don't give team orders if p1 was at risk, Hamilton would have been up the road

 

[ptrg]

Oscar doesnt so much look like he's shunning Lewis, he looks genuinely intimidated by him/his status haha
