F1 2023 season

[Slipper One]

Ferrari's strategy team arsehole twitching. Hoping they don't fuck this up.

Perhaps it's possible Liberty Media 'encouraged' Masi to make the decision he did for excitement value .

Perhaps it's possible Red Bull were 'encouraged' to slow down to give the others a chance? :)

On a seriuos note, whatever they have changed, it ain't working!!!

I think I'd be a bit pissed as well if I was their leading driver and it suddenly started handling like an RS2000 in Kielder Forest..

As much as I'm a big Red Bull fan, deep down I do have a feeling that thankfully the race might not be so predictable.

Now lets see if Reb Buĺl sort out the problem and Max finish on the podium.

I'd love Sainz to take it, but I think the honours will go to Russell at the chequered flag.

What happened to RB, didn’t make it to Q3?

Yet again, Verstappen gets away with blatant penalties.

Sport is a joke

Not seen why he was in the middle of the pack, are you saying he should be further back?

3 investigations post race for blocking drivers in qualifying with everyone saying one was a minimum 3 place penalty but he gets away with all 3 and the stewards find him guilty but issue only a verbal warning.

It’s a fucking joke

Cheers. I’ve gone from ardent fan to ‘if I can be arsed’ following the fucked up season and the build-up was full of these type of things.

Might watch today, Singapore always throws up a few challenges for the drivers.

Seen all 3 and it had only been investigated due to the crying of the other drivers. None of them was actual serious blocking.

But come on you all. Max nor RB will win this one. That’s a near certainty. So enjoy.

 

[yerwot?]

earlier this week Toto Wolf, when asked about the new regs regarding wing stiffness, said " will be interesting if Red Bull lose half a second a lap". Would explain how a car can have both high downforce for corners and low tyre wear and yet highest straight line speed, which flex wings ( banned) achieve.... From total domination to non-qualifier. No doubt there will be a perfectly innocent reason, like the other teams have caught up, bad batch of tyres, track surface does not suit the chassis....

Anyone practicing their 'surprised' face when the two RB's storm through the field to take the win.

The Max fans writing this race off with a sort of faux resignation.

Ferrari, Mercedes, Mclaren all have fuck ups in them to expect the inevitable RB win.

 

[BlueMoonday]

Ferrari will still manage to f*ck this up some how.

 

[BlueMoonday]

Noo Russell!!! What a shitter, last lap as well

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Oh dear Georgie boy

 

[meltonblue]

Really enjoyed that race.

 

[eversince 76]

Enjoyable race for 1st. Sainz deserved this one. Very clever thinking the last few rounds. Kept Mercedes trailing Norris as well.
Russell … dear me.
Verstappen nearly nearly a total unexpected 4th. Curious to see in Japan if RB lost their flow.

It’s more of an aero track is Suzuka so Red Bull will be back on it. Mercedes when they were on top struggled in Singapore, looked similar for Red Bull this weekend.

 

[svennis pennis]

One of the most intelligent race wins I’ve seen in years from Sainz. Fully deserved and very refreshing to see three teams fighting it out for victory right to the death.

 

[eversince 76]

No discussion Verstappen deserved to be the WC. Best car and best driver made it a predictable season.
He’s breaking and still can break loads of records showing what an incredible driver he is.

Piastri is a true talent. If McLaren can contribute by keep handing him a great car and teamsupport, Verstappen will get a lot more competition (hopefully).

Up to the other teams to try catch up. The gap with Verstappen/Red Bull is huge.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Well done Max.Deserved world champion.

The other story of the season may well be the staggering progression within McClaren.

This is McClaren with a Mercedes engine in the back of it. It’s embarrassing for Mercedes that a customer has a quicker car than them. The cost cap has brought the whole field closer together apart from Red Bull who are lightyears ahead. The next two seasons will probably see Verstappen win the world championship, then we have new regulations come in and Red Bull running with a Ford engine.
