FORMULA 1 ARAMCO BRITISH GRAND PRIX 2023
I just want to say how great the growth of content and conversation has been here in just a few weeks. Let's see what the McCedes can do.
Me too. I never commented on Reddit as it would get buried anyways. Today I switched and I already commented twice. I would like to see a good conversation here during live events.
Max was Max, Norris was brilliant, Hamilton drove well (and got some luck), Piastri was great, Perez again finished behind slower cars, Stroll needs to go.
still can't believe mclaren made the hards work, lewis's softs were done shortly after the restart
Really understating it here. Stroll's driven quite poorly today in general, to be honest, so I can't say I'm entirely shocked.
Sometimes the penalties are insane, considering that the other driver had to retire...
Eh, a bit of both, if you ask me. Will be interesting to see when the top 3 pit to go onto hards.
I just don't understand why McLaren put Norris and Piastri on hard tyres.
Even split strategies surely after seeing how long George lasted on softs
Wait I didn't know C0 was a thing. (Unless this means they just binned it, and I'm missing the joke.)
No they're still technically available though I doubt Pirelli are actually going to bring them out on any circuit this season. We have six compounds this year, C0-C5.
I get the hards for Piastri, but soft was the obvious call for Lando. Just strange that they would give him such a disadvantage on the restart.
Great defense from Norris and Piastri, didnt think they would keep the mercedes behind them.
Norris sounds pissed, and I can't say I blame him. What the fuck were McLaren thinking?
I don't think giving McLarens hard tires is a good idea... They're trying to play it too safe.
I'm honestly shocked that Sainz hasn't done better than he has. I'd backed him for a podium shot, but this has not been a great race for him.
I think there needs to be a rework for the penalties. You look at WEC and a penalty seriously stings. Drive-throughs costing 30 seconds, S&G being 60s. What do we get, 5s for taking a driver out? The penalties are anemic
As is, the penalties are clearly not a deterrent to possibly dangerous conduct. That's got to change.
I don't think WEC drivers intend to cause incidents or leave track limits either, it's a result of driving hard and if you go over those limits, then you get a penalty. This isn't about intent, this is about the pathetic slap on the wrist for bad driving.
You have to include intent in the decision making. If someone drives hard and accidentally wobbles and hits a competitor causing them to go off track and retire that needs to be penalised differently to driving hard and t-boning a competitor. Wouldn't you agree?
Really strong defending from Alonso there considering how bad the Aston were here today.
Piastri is the new Invisible Man. Sitting casually in 4th as a rookie and nobody is even talking about him!
