F1 2023 season

How would you have ended the race, while staying within the rules?

Just wondering what your thoughts were.

For a start I wouldn’t count formation laps as laps.

They don’t count it before the official start.

They should make them carry an extra 10 laps worth of fuel and just not count laps under safety cars. If a crash cleanup is going to take more than a few laps, bring them in and do a full restart - which are much more entertaining than rolling restarts.

Or, considering they're almost always underfueled- just make them carry the full 110kg.

A 58 lap race should have 58 laps of competitive racing.

That finish was a farce. So harsh on Sainz.

Not for me, he was never making that corner in a million years and used Alonso as a bumper.

Don't bring them into the pits for red flags, just line up in running order on the starting grid (unless the incident is there of course). That way they can do a restart without a formation lap and have the "joy" of stone cold tyres to add to the spectacle. Make them work for their money!

For those who remember him at the City training camp....

A strange place to start a sprint race. It'll be either cataclysmic or dull.

As an aside I wonder if F1 are grooming Bernie Collins to take over from Ted or Brundle?

 

[TinFoilHat]

Fuck off Max.

"It's not fair!"

 

[TinFoilHat]

Means fuck all now as Tsunoda had a comedy lost tyre moment.

 

[lonestay]

What's the point of a 17 lap sprint race? It's stupid .

Fuck off Max.

"It's not fair!"

Russell clips Verstappen on the exit of turn 2 and by dint of said collision is able to get his nose in front.

I think anyone would be a bit pissed at that.
