F1 The Wash Up - Previous 2024 Race Weekends

I watched it with no sound on. I thought he screwed up. Wasn't till later I Rea's the yellow flag thing. But all four tires were definitely over the line.

My thoughts precisely.

I can't wait what the grid walk without Brundle will be like. Will they have a choir and string section accompanying Ted next to Landos car on the grid playing Barber's Agnus Dei op 11?

They'll be playing his Adagio for Strings when Max's title is officially confirmed.

Same music.

Same music.

Gee Barber really milked that one piece didn't he

It won't be Barber's Adagio for Strings though

Yep. All those big churches and private schools with their choirs was a market he couldn't ignore. And don't get me started on Hollywood

Marketing genius.

Btw I think the last few weeks (and the lack of any decision made in the mid season break) pretty much suggests it will be Lawson taking Ricciardos seat, and Sergio staying at RBR for 2025, and Daniel left without a seat and probably off to another series.

Yep. Dan's had a good run in the sport but time to leave.

Results wise it didn't go as well as he probably deserved. But his bank account suggests we needn't shed too many tears for him.

9:00pm Azerbaijan Grand Prix
11:00pm Spurs v Arsenal

Helluva Sunday night coming up

9pm start is a rare win for AEST viewers

Truthfully think this was always going to be how it played out.

Problem for Danny Ric and a lot of other drivers over the years is that there are generally only two or three drivers with a legitimate chance of winning a championship in a good season, on a bad year there might only be one.

The timing of the regulation changes screwed him. RBR was the best team for the last four and a half years when he got there on account of their chassis work, only for the 2014 turbo hybrids to come in and make powerplants the difference for the next few years.

There was a bit of hope there when Sergio shit the bed that they might have given him the back half to see if he could fair better.

And they realistically would have done that if Daniel was consistently beating Yuki, but he wasn't. Nobody else to blame but himself. At least he'll get another race at Austin and Vegas to soak it all in.

I actually thought he almost ran into the fence.

Sky still saying Oscar needs to get out of the way of Lando in this race
lol the cope is real

I turned on sky f1 and the first thing I see is Karun doing a breakdown of why Lando didn’t make Q2. FMD do they ever stop. I’ve switched straight to F1 tv app.

I don't recall them being this bad with Lewis, even when he was winning.

Leclerc 1, Oscar 2, Sainz 3, Verstappen 4 wouldn't be the worst outcome. Norris should score points but Verstappen extending his lead and the three behind Norris closing the gap would bring Leclerc level or close to Norris going into a Ferrari-friendly circuit in Singapore.

 

[nobbyiscool]

We're one more rubbish Norris performance from Sky's commentators advocating that Piastri go full Schumacher at his worst, treating it like a dodgem car and seeing how many of Lando's competitor's he can bin.

I love a national anthem with some grandeur to it, ours sucks compared to... well, everyone.

Norris not scoring a point and Oscar winning with fastest lap would throw the cat amongst the pigeons. I’d love to see if the tables get turned in the next two races.

What an anthem!!

The McLaren is too quick to be stuck behind the also rans over an entire race. An Oscar win would be nice but a Leclerc win would put the Norris talk to bed much earlier.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Thought it was interesting that Karun and JV went to every car on the grid to talk about the driver & their chances except for Oscar

 

[gaskin]

I'm honestly surprised McLaren didn't do the same for Lando.

 

[DamoESP]

Massive accident at the start of the FP2 feature race earlier today, car stalled on the grid.... you know the rest.
All drivers walked away unscratched.
