Trying to figure out how this is off-topic in an F1 thread... @Green Samot

Sorry, must have been fat fingers. Not intended.

Just watching the F2 race this circuit is an absolute joke virtually unraceable, expecting at least 3 or 4 safety cars today.

It was the same last season. It’s a completely unsuitable place to host a motor race, but blood money talks.

Sky’s presenter just described Saudi Arabia as “very progressive.”

Well, that’s enough sports washing for me for one day. ??? see you next week in Australia F1.

So it sounds like the Merc's have fessed up and the issue is that porpoising, meaning they have to ride high and that negates a lot of the aero work they've done - and this is on a relatively new, unblemished tarmac. Imagine how these cars are going to cope on a track like Monaco or Brazil, with a less-than-perfect surface, or somewhere like Canada, where riding the kerbs is more common.

They really need to put in the overtime to get that sorted out now else this season could be an absolute mess.

Latifi is a terrible driver.

Just flicked past to see Latifi in the wall. Guy can’t fucking drive for toffee.

Pay drivers ?‍?‍?‍

What are they waiting for?

Sainz was ahead of Perez at the line.

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

A Haas being driven by K Mag overtaking Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes is not what I expected to see when the season started last week.

 

[tobi]

That Red Bull is a rocket on the straight.

Good stuff at the front, solid drive by Russell, Hamilton got unlucky with the pit lane being closed

Sainz needs to do better asap

 

[Rocksuperstar]

Lucky yellow flag, Leclerc was well up to give it a go without that.

That in-helmet cam is savage, I love it but it makes me kinda giddy.

 

[tobi]

I like these new regulations.

 

[Glasseye]

Really seeing some great racing this year, Leclerc and Verstappen is going to be some viewing across the season if this continues this way

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Hamilton got unlucky with the pit lane being closed

Bad call from Merc - they could have brought him in, but waited too long to notify him. He was past the pits when they called him in

 

[Wick3d]

Max whines so much what a man baby. Great race though.

I truly hate this track though, puts me on edge. The usual suspects crash out, the gulf in skill between the truly elite drivers and the rest is quite massive. I hate that you can buy a seat in F1.

 

[TallBlokePH]

Meh, disappointing the little scrote picked up a win. Was hoping the RBs would drop dead at the end again.

Good racing overall this weekend though, new regs are definitely working as far as improving opportunities to overtake goes.

There must have been a delay somewhere because radio messages aren't played back in real time and when it was played in the broadcast he just passed the pit entry.

 

[tototoner]

Fantastic race that, hope that is a sign of things to come this season

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

I will lose interest in this sport very very quickly if it’s dominated by Max Verstappen. The child spent the entire race whinging and bitching then when Leclerc had the audacity to challenge him, he screamed “that’s so unfair!” Fuck off, man. The guy is a prick. Contrast to Leclerc who congratulated Max seconds after crossing the line for a good race.

Great race well done max and Charles , Hamilton wasn’t unlucky it’s just he didn’t get lucky for a change , he fninished where he should have done
