Only took 18 laps for a “we are checking”
Yuki with the sass.
I like it, they screwed him
This is Yuki showing he is still immature. He wasn’t going to get that pass done and only ended up making Daniel miss his window (being on softs / having Max lap them). Yuki pulls a large market and has matured some, shenanigans like this put a real negative view on an otherwise positive race.
Bottas and botched tyre nuts…name a better combo
I wish Red Bull would just unleash Max instead of just telling him to build a ~15 sec gap and then drive to a delta. If we can’t have competition at the front, at least let us watch Max lap the entire field.
If Red Bull do that, then F1 will start bringing a whole raft of rule changes mid season to try an screw over Red Bull and make them slower
(I mean they tried to do that last year with the floor rulings, but Red Bull ended up getting even better)
Wasn’t the floor rulings a late implementation of intended porpoising prevention? Or was there another floor change I forgot about?
Also funny how by the time the floor change was implemented most teams had already fixed porpoising and all it accomplished was making following harder again.
Ferrari was still struggling with it in the latter half of 2022
10 laps, 8 seconds in front and not even trying.
Can we just give Max the title, let him take the year off and have a new competition for “second is the first winner”
I like Max as a person, but having another season of him racing in a league of his own is too much.
Riveting stuff. Excited there’s 23 more races of this. /s
Carlos gunning for Lewis’ seat next year.
Or Perez’s
Leclerc really struggling out there. Brutal.
Max’s so ahead he’ll reach Saudi Arabia for the next race by the end of this one.
Max has his own calendar. Abu Dhabi in May.
THE ENGINEER SAID IT!
HE SAID THE FUNNY
Wait what did I miss?
They are checking
Sainz has REALLY been performing and showing what he can do!
Seems like it will be the same as last year
Interesting to put Checo on the softs.
No hards available.
Lpine
Max is 15 second up the road. I was hoping for a better year with some actual racing involved.
Ah well. Guess I’ll try again in 2026 with the rule changes.
Yuki getting the Ferrari treatment
