Haven't watched any of it, thou read Leclerc had major problems and that there was a wall of people hiding the car.

MB - typical on off again, one race good next race who knows, but it will be interesting to see what happens
Williams a surprise and in what I read, they even say it based on the conditions, glad to see Sargent up there.

really do no know what to say, its practice and things all always changing.

On a side note, I am tracking on Saturday and traveling on Sunday, so I will not get to watch anything till later. Thou, might try to find it on the Sirius app to listen to on Sunday...

enjoy

Wild and fun qualifier. Perez out back should make for good race drama. Hoping for just enough rain to keep the strategies interesting and all drivers on their toes.

Love seeing the updates - watched the Netflix docuseries and it was great. Really got me into following a lot of these guys and I can see why there is so much interest in it. Definitely was fun to watch.

Seems like Max is going to be the run away winner again and it seems like everyone is trying to sort out their car to catch RedBull or can't seem to get out of their own way (looking at Ferrari).

Danny Ricciardo to replace Nyck De Vries at Alpha Tauri for Hungary in 2 weeks.

It might have been his tire test in the RB19 that clinched the seat:


""Sources say Ricciardo was impressive in today’s Pirelli tyre test with Red Bull, his first drive in 2023 machinery, and that his best lap would have been good enough for the front row of the grid in Sunday’s British Grand Prix,” F1 reporter Lawrence Barretto stated."

"What is not mentioned is which tyre compound that was set on, with Pirelli having brought the C1, C2 and C3 compounds to Silverstone, meaning there were two more grippy compounds in their range, the C4 and C5, which Ricciardo could have potentially used to clock that lap."

saw and read about that, RB is at times ruthless, probably should have never hired De Vries. Now the question is on Perez. Thou with the current pace of Max, I do not know if any any number 2 could be close. Perez is not Max, and I think that is something they forget. Ricciardo, no idea if he would be close to Max. Guess the remaining races, will be interesting...

Newsflash:
Brad Pitt to replace Sergio Perez at Red Bull.
You heard it here first!
:rofl2:

Sergio Pérez - crashes within first 5 minutes of first practice session started...
now raining at Hungary

really was a nothing session with 7 cars not running at all in the wet conditions
With RB, not running at all.

Has any one seen the new updates, I have to look at them again..

Sam Collins, was great on F1TV, standing in the rain and talking about changes on the car....

danegrey 07-23-2023 07:33 PM

Well Max and RB were something else today.
They totally had it.
Did get interesting towards the end, the MB seemed to come alive..
But who knows what was going on....
Not a great race,
start and opps and alfa having major opps..
Alpine out after Zou did a huge opps on the start...

danegrey 07-29-2023 05:59 AM

Well HAAS messed up the Sprint Shootout 3
very bad timing, both cars are out...

Shootout 2
Track conditions are changing so fast from wet to a dry line
Stroll went out on mediums and ends Shoutout 2 ends on a red flag
eliminated
Sargent (no time) / Albon (no time) / Stroll / Ricardo/Alonso (no time)
MAX is .623 ahead of everyone in Shootout 2

Watch Shootout 3, it was a thriller

danegrey 07-30-2023 06:27 PM

Well Max is Max, so if simply agree, that we can throw away first place,
then the race was a bit interesting...

Thou Perez in the RB, I really think, we should give Ricro the seat next year. Then it might be interesting... Have the RB fight for 1st and let the others depending on what weekend fight for the rest...

As to Hamilton Penalty in the sprint and Sainz and Piastri getting together at turn one...
Damn, the rules are different which suck, because Saniz had similar damage to Perez, but there was not penalty...

As much as Indy Car is a spec series, at least most of the time, you have about 10 drivers that can win.. too bad they have not PR that is worth a damn..

Nascar is a wreak feast, get out of my way and bang, they are...

ZCanadian 07-31-2023 03:31 PM

I was surprised to see how much damage Checo sustained with the car barely being nudged by Hamilton (and no Damage to Car 44 from what I recall).

Sainz / Piastri was kind of a stupid racing incident. Not sure what made Carlos lock up, but once he turned in, Piastri went for a gap that was never going to be there. PIA should have backed out of it before the wall. kind of a 50-50 at fault and that's why there was no further investigation. Both lost their race out of it, but I have no clue why they did not retire the Ferrari on lap 1 rather than putting 20 more pointless laps on the engine and gearbox.

Sad for Piastri, as I really wanted to see what he could do. Of course, with the high downforce on a dry track, a podium was never in his future. The kid's good though. McLaren has put together a super team. I hope that they can continue to fund it!

ZCanadian 09-06-2023 11:28 AM

I guess Max and RBR kinda took the wind out of this thread!
:hello:

:hello:

Yes/No/Maybe, just been busy past couple of weeks... so I have been catching up later....

Thou Max is simply killing it, the Italian GP was entertaining with the Ferrari's going at it. Hamilton apology. the Mclaren's fighting, Williams doing Williams type running. Fell Sargent will be gone for next year. Just came up too early...

that sums it up for me ....

danegrey 09-17-2023 07:39 AM

well so far, its a strategy race, and Sargent goes off again
causes a safety car for and everyone pits, except max

danegrey 09-17-2023 07:55 AM

now its exciting, RedBull has blown it this time... 33 laps to go
