2027 might be a good bet once Alonso’s contract is up.

I wouldn't rule out Max switching to Hypercar in '27, those cars suit his driving style.

 

[Fezzik]

2 laps at least behind the safety car

 

[IforceV8]

Now that the track is "green" will they switch to hard tires when the crossover point is reached in about 5 laps?

 

[Bosso]

Announcing a rule change during a race event is a bit odd.

It's not unusual in recent years. I remember 2021 Bahrain when the race director made turn 4 subject to track limits halfway through the race.

Pinnacle of motorsport right here

 

[Bosso]

Another 15 laps behind the safety car maybe?

 

[Veinz]

3 laps too many and a rolling start to boot

 

[Fezzik]

Rolling start. Ok fine, just get on with it.

 

[IforceV8]

Anything to shut Martin up at this point.

 

[Dreadmed]

Is this is going to be another instance of waiting until it's borderline dry before letting them go? It was fine to go after the mandatory 2 laps...

For someone who's stated on numerous times how rubbish modern-day F1 is, you sure do love coming back here to have a whinge.

 

[Demon Drone]

I miss Charlie Whiting.

 

[Fezzik]

Yes Oscar !!
Lando with wheelspin and a slide out of turn 1 doomed himself.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Slight bobble by Lando... nice pass by Oscar. Keep it clean! 😤

 

[Bosso]

What an overtake by Piastri. Well deserved

 

[IforceV8]

McLaren 1 sec quicker in sec 2 than anyone else.

 

[Veinz]

Piastri isn't getting away

I only tune in for certain tracks now. We'll see how next year is but with how horrible the stewarding is continuing to be I doubt it will improve the on track product much.

 

[Fezzik]

Hamilton onboard is great fun. He’s flying through the pack.

 

[Bosso]

Hamilton flying.

[Sum1s2pid]

Lewis on mediums? Ballsy.

 

[Fezzik]

Lewis to slicks.

 

[Fezzik]

Piastri pits. Norris doesn’t.
Too close to double stack.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Ah, OK. Lots of people going on slicks. Goooooooo!

Not like that, Charles! 😮 😅

 

[Veinz]

They probably should have double stacked

 

[Fezzik]

They probably should have double stacked

Yeah they had 10 secs to Leclerc even if Norris had to wait.

 

[Bosso]

That looked like an unsafe release from Ferrari

 

[Fezzik]

Norris going with hards and a 1 stop.

 

[Veinz]

Hamilton made up a lot of ground

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Wow, yeah. Lando 7 seconds off Oscar. Maybe should've double stacked.
