how tf did George get there :o
Lando so busy trying to squeeze max he gave George a tow and a ton of space on the outside
“Can Perez catch Piastri”
The only thing Perez has caught recently is Covid, and Im amazed he managed that
Oof size: massive. That’s a lot of damage!
Perez is such a dissapointment
And you’re just now figuring this out? 😆
I kid, but he’s been this bad all year.
… and last year. Well, most of last year, anyway.
You aren’t wrong.
But good enough for second in the drivers championship. Not looking good for a follow up on that though to be fair.
Glad to see Hamilton finally get a podium. Seemed impossible at the beginning of the season – Mercedes has made tremendous progress.
Gasly in front of Perez, now there’s a… GAS-PER.
Edit: I’ll see myself out.
You sonofabitch 👏👏👏🫡
Really drifting out there with this one…
I think Norris is a little too far away. Hoping though
We’ll see with the tyre lives as they are. I think both of them may have to pit once more.
No the softs did around 20 laps in the 1st stint. They should do 20 again without issue now that the cars are lighter
Fair enough. I was thinking more in terms of track temps though. But…history is history, I suppose.
Max’s timing with DRS zones is so damn good. The way he ensures he has a full DRS to build up 1 second before the other car gets DRS is nuts.
Might have just missed it. Is Martin Brundle just not on commentary this weekend or is there a reason he’s not there? Missed him on the grid walk today.
They said at the beginning of the year he’ll be missing more of this year than previous years. Seems he’s starting to wind down for retirement and this year has a lot of races to cover. Even crofty is going to miss a few races with the calendar this full they said
That’s fair enough too. Man has earned some rest! As long as that’s all it is, was worried maybe he’d gotten sick.
Man’s getting on. Can’t be long before Alex Brundle gets the call up.
Dang, bad pit stop for Russell. Gasly had a slow rear right tire change too.
Now hamilton comes in.
Perez is getting lapped today. I am calling it
Edit - Perez has picked up the place since I made this comment
If Lando wins today, is Zak Brown getting another tattoo?
Cover that man in tattoos like he covers the car in ads!
2.3s for Hamilton
1,9 for Max. Impressive…
Is that the fastest pit this season?
didnt red bull double stack a 2.0, 1.9 earlier this season?
I’m not sure.
If i’m remembering right, they double stacked and did 2.1 max, 2.0 checo
and then next stop they did 1.9 on max, 2.0 on checo
edit: it was china https://www.formula1.com/en/results.html/2024/races/1233/china/pit-stop-summary.html
two double stacks
Red Bull have truly mastered the art of the pit stop, it seems. The record was 1.8 by McLaren(?) I believe.
I’m having to listen in Portuguese today, anything cropped up pre race I should know about?
Albon starting from the pits due to changing power unit elements. Overall probably insignificant towards the race result.
Albon changed his PU, so he will start from pitlane.
