2023 Canadian Grand Prix Closing Thread
(lemmy.sdf.org)
Yo why is this thread still here?!
Why not?
I know Max doesn't need the help but my god Perez does not deserve that Red Bull put Norris in it or something.
Put Albon back in that car, now that he has the experience. He's proving how good he is at Williams.
+1 for putting Norris in as a fan. However if I was Red Bull management I'd keep giving him one year contracts until be becomes a liability. They've got constructors nailed on and a clear driver hierarchy. It's ideal for them.
Yeah they need what Bottas was to Hamilton, up there but never making a serious challenge for number 1 like Rosberg did. Then again Max is so dominant that maybe fixing what's not broken isn't an issue.
Good strategy from Ferrari? The end times are nigh
The strategy was scary! Maybe with Meckies off to a new team someone else is getting a say
I think they used all the bad choices with sainz… although I can’t blame them, a race here with no SC was really an oddity.
I can’t understand how Perez just couldn’t compete with Ferrari’s pace at all. Not his best circuit.
Not his best season.
not the best driver.
Favorite moment was Alonso's pit telling him Hamilton was just 1.9s behind. "Okay, leave it to me." And then suddenly it was a 6 second gap.
Such a great effort for Albon... easy DotD, and huge for Williams in the lower WCC battle. Hope it's a sign that the Williams upgrades are decent & we may see more of it.
Russell cracked under the pressure of trying to stay on the back of Alonso... absolutely insane that the car almost finished the race after that hit... I was surprised it finished the lap! F1 cars are made of strong stuff these days.
Max mega as ever... ominous that Newey appears to be fully invested in F1 again after a few years where he seemed to drift away.
But what did Lando do though?
My understanding is that he slowed down on the race track leading up to pit entry so that McLaren could double-stack him after Piastri. It's against the rules to deliberately go slow and impede like that.
@WatTyler makes sense, but its sad that it wasn’t covered in the broadcast
They did discuss it on the international (Sky) broadcast.
@WatTyler was unfortunately listening to the Dutch one
Ted whinged about the nondescript nature of the penalty so much that someone from the FIA got in touch to tell them what it was for.
What the heck happened with Checo? He should have had a podium, but just got lost in a DRS train I guess?
It seems like he's just lost confidence or something... he's not in the all time greats category but he should be able to push a little harder
