Remember Norris had all the new bits on his car this weekend....

^^^^ this. Next weekend should be good. Just better call or not call penalties!

I was happy to see track limits called. If only they were consistent within a race and from race to race.

Hamilton was priceless again on the radio.

They don't b!tch so much about track limits at Monaco or Canada. Run wide, hit the wall. End.

Yes, acting like a spoiled 4 year old brat.

BYW I'm thinking get rid of track limits,
and install spike strips.
That'd do it.

I think they are very generous by saying all 4 wheels can't go over the white line. In most sports or games, the line itself it out of bounds.

In football (not the American version played with hands) the ball isn't out until the entire ball is over the line even if it is in the air. I'm thinking they enforce in FIA the same as FIFA. But honestly, they just need to be consistent.

Cringe worthy comments from Toto on Hammy:

"Hamilton is clearly the most important personality in our sport. He is so multi-dimensional. He is not only a racing driver and world champion, but he is trailblazing for diversity, for sustainability, and there are no limits for Lewis Hamilton as a racing driver, as an entrepreneur, and as a politician. I think he is one of the most spectacular personalities and characters that I have ever met," Wolff said.

We owe him an eighth world championship," Wolff concluded while standing in front of 10 Downing Street in London.

"...because Michael Massey stole it from him 2 years ago and handed it to Verstappen."

Completed your thought for you, Toto.

Wow!, just wow

That was REALLY exciting... for about 13 seconds. Still pretty cool qualifying.

GH85Carrera 07-08-2023 11:49 AM

Very interesting qualifying.

…. but the race winner won’t be.

I don't want to put the cart before the horse but I think Logan Sargeant is starting to get a handle of the Williams. Not as fast as Albon but he's making steady progress . Speaking of Albon he is wringing the neck out of his Williams .

What the heck is going on with Perez ? He's working his way out of a RB ride . Head scratcher . McLaren has good pace with both cars . Even DeVries showed some early pace . Let's see how tomorrow shakes out .

No one owes anything to a race car driver except a safe car and competitive pit work and strategy. Everything else has enough plain fate in it to be unpredictable.

rfuerst911sc 07-09-2023 08:46 AM

Solid run by Mercedes/McLaren/Williams . Ferrari must be wondering where to find more speed . Max dominate and Perez a points finish . Haas in some kind of performance death spiral .

GH85Carrera 07-09-2023 09:39 AM

Great McLaren performance. They scored more points today than they had in the previous races so far this year.

Max has more points by himself to be in first place for the manufacturers championship.

Zeke 07-09-2023 09:43 AM

Who is the new 3rd announcer?

Max and the Redbull car together making everyone else on the grid look like they're in F2 cars

So far the Redbull is the only team enjoying a 100% reliability record too

Will be interesting to see what records they break this year ie most wins in a season, most consecutive wins, most race finishes, most fastest laps, most pole positions etc etc

Not sure who you are referring to. Male / Female?

This is Naomi Schiff, driver in the W series but she's been on for a couple of years now.

The crowd was roaring when Lando took the lead on lap 1.
