F1 The Wash Up - Previous 2024 Race Weekends

[DrZaius]

To be fair, it wasn't a call about favourites, it was just stupid to not double stack

It was a pretty moronic call that most likely wouldn't have happened if the positions were reversed.
Maybe not blatant favouritism but McLaren are clearly willing to take more risks with Oscar, which would be fine if he were a rung below his teammate, but he has more than shown he is ready to seriously challenge for wins.

 

[Forward Press]

Good for Lewis, happy to see him win
Never thought I would have said that after watching him dominate in the previous era.

Might go down as one of his finest wins - and could be his last ever. And you can tell it was clearly emotional for him too.

Well deserved, his tyres were absolutely shot at the end, think one more lap and Max would've had him.

Piastri knew the Mediums were the best tyre to be on, he told the team on the radio he wanted Mediums.

Come on, the last 18 months prove it doesn't matter what Piastri believes. McLaren will **** him over anyway

What is weird is Zac Brown only a couple of laps before said on the telecast that the team would do all the calculations to determine whether the double stack was quicker than going an extra lap.

Need a new calculator

In a Mercedes Benz. Well played Germany.

Built in England

The team asked both drivers what tyre they wanted, and they put that tyre on.

Oscar made the right call, Lando did not.

i think they may have underestimated how quickly it got wetter with the extra lap. still a great result, he's certainly keeping pace with lando and they cant ask much more than that.

 

[my name was taken]

Norris on team radio said it was his fault they didn't pit a lap earlier, sounds like that was his call.


Reminds me of Sochi

 

[darth_timon]

In variable conditions the cream rose to the top. Very pleased with that.

 

[Aussie pie]

My hatred of British teams, drivers and commentators has grown 10 fold during this race. I had to mute the TV crofty was having a big O all over the comm box 6 laps out. I couldn’t take any more of him. The sky f1 team has lost the plot this year is full on screw the world feed we’re cheering not commenting.

Oscar got so screwed, we really need an Australian team owner, anyone got some spare cash? We can buyout McLaren or probably Williams.

 

[ReidBetweenTheLines]

That’s 2 races in a row Piastri could have won now.

 

[Forward Press]

A few records here...

• Oldest winner since Mansell in 1994
• Most times a winner at a single track (9th win at Silverstone)
• Only driver to win after his 300th GP

 

[Gunf]

MCL need to stop asking Lando's opinion he gets it wrong to much.

Also any idiot could have seen double stacking would be better then staying out an extra lap

Agreed. But all teams had the same info and Mercedes double stacking is what won them the race.

If Merc had done what McLaren had done and left one driver out, and that driver had been Hamilton, then it would have been a race win for Verstappen.

All that hard work on the track done by both Norris and Piastri in slippery conditions to get the 1-2 before the pit stops was wasted.

Williams with points!

Albon with a damaged car from Lap 1

Andrew Forrest is about 4 times wealthier than Lawrence stroll and loves a bit of dick swinging, perfect candidate lol. Just pop him an email

Lando should have probably won the last 3 races, possibly even 4.

Miami is the outlier. He is a bottler.

Paul Stoddart owned the wrong team

 

[Rustin Cohle]

I wonder is Toto realises how obvious his dye job comes across.

 

[Festerz]

A bit harsh. But still funny.

Perhaps we can raise enough on BF and buy a team, I’ve got $20 bucks to start. Problem is I don’t think pies owners and blues owners would get along too well.

Anyway Oscar proving what a great driver he is he just needs to be in the right team at the right time. Webber should’ve been champ, but Seb and RB screwed him. Danny Ric unfortunately had to deal with Max and Ham when he was winning races for Red Bull. Let’s hope Oscar can break the curse.

 

[Hawks1523]

This is when my confidence rose

 

[Gunf]

Oscar lost any chance to win the moment they didn't double stack and Norris lost and chance to win the moment they let him make choices

What?

Webber showed himself to be consistently slower than Vettel, and was treated as the second driver accordingly. 2010 was his only real chance, and his bottled it in Korea.
