Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Australian Grand Prix 2025Formula 1

[McLaren]

Lewis testing out some Inters on the recon lap. Not a bad idea just to see what it's like.

 

[05XR8]

No wheels spin. Should be okay.

 

[Jezza819]

All of those painted lines are going to be super slick.

 

[-Fred-]

So, Norris bottles the start and Verstappen leads and ****s off in the distance by turn 5, as usual?

Stroll is the only one on full wets, wonder how that'll go.

 

[Fezzik]

Inters all round. Lawson and Bearman starting from the pits.

 

[05XR8]

Dang

 

[McLaren]

Hadjar out.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Oh no. Hadjar binned it. 😔

 

[Fezzik]

Hadjar off on the formation lap.
Rookies and rain, not good.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Oof not a great debut for Isack.

 

[Blitz24]

Well.... at least he made the first corner? I got nothing here.

 

[McLaren]

Papa Hamilton a real one.

 

[Fezzik]

Still looks like an ice rink. Low chance they all make it through lap 1 from start attempt 2.

They made it.

Not so much, though Max has got Oscar.

@Blitz24 lap 1, not turn 1. Doohan out.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Ah man, now Doohan. SC. 😔

 

[Jezza819]

Doohan crashes

 

[Blitz24]

Doohan done.

 

[-Fred-]

Oh Jack...

FFS Carlos

 

[Blitz24]

Sainz out

 

[Sum1s2pid]

What? Not Sainz, too. 😔

 

[Fezzik]

Oh no Carlos in the wall.

 

[Jezza819]

Now Sainz in the wall

 

[AshenGraey]

We have not even got 1 lap in....geez!!!
This is going to get red flagged at this point!

 

[Jimlaad43]

Bad lap for sons of non-F1 racing World Champions

 

[05XR8]

I’ll keep my NA four-cylinder with low torque thank you very much.

 

[Milouse]

It's a survival game.

 

[Jezza819]

Would going to full wets help with grip?

 

[Fezzik]

Would going to full wets help with grip?

They'd overheat pretty quick with no actual rain.
Leclerc says it's drying quite quick, which will be a relief for the Maccas, Max looked strong in the wet.

 

[-Fred-]

Bernt Maylander might as well bin it for good measure.
