Formula 1 - 2024

Gotta feel good for Danny. Let's see if he can hold on for 19 laps.

Newey was obviously an important piece of RB's success. How long will Max stay in F1 if he is no longer dominating?
 
I think F1 Steward’s needs to be consistent with penalties. Personally, the first lap incident which ruined 3 drivers race was Hamilton’s fault but they did not even bother to investigate. Same thing with the speeding in the pit lane penalty which is all automated. Why did they wait until he end of sprint race to apply it. If they had applied during the sprint race the battle against Magnusson (sp?) would have been different and not over the limit.

Tinfoil speculation - I have to wonder if Alonso is right and that there is bias in steward based on personal bias?
 
Amazing how one yellow flag can make such a difference. Great for Lando, but you have to feel bad for Oscar.
 
I don’t care what team you root for, you’ve gotta be happy for Lando! He deserves this win. I know the safety car helped him a lot, but I still think he could’ve beaten Max without it.
 
Very happy for Lando. He had the pace to keep up with Max yesterday. The other driver that impressed me yesterday was Yuki. The Mercedes cars are slow even with DRS. Lewis couldn’t get past Checo even with DRS from safety car to almost end of the race, with Lewis asking for more power.

Typical Ferrari strategy with “We are looking into” comment when Carlos mentioned that he had more pace. Carlos was bit whiny yesterday when he tangled with Oscar, which ruined Oscar’s race a bit with bit of wheel banging.

I think Kevin Magnussen is going to be banned for a race this year. He currently has 10 and none of them expire until 2025. The way he drives he is definitely getting a ban this year.

Checo got a great start but man he almost took both Max and himself out of the race with the late wide breaking. If there was an incident on lap 1 both RedBull and Ferrari would have been taken out.
 
Would have been a more exciting race if F1 TV didn't spoil it for me. I turned on the race in the morning and instead of giving me the option to "start from beginning" it opened up with them congratulating Max. Apparently this has been an issue with the app on Roku for a few years.

One day I'd like to see Oscar catch a break and win one of these. Last week's safety car and this week's 3 car grid penalty kept him from the front where he should have been.

Do you share your login with anyone else? I used to be guilty of using my friend's login to watch the race and forgetting to rewind it, so when he logged in to watch he'd start with the podium and understandably be pissed. One time he legit flipped out on me so I broke down and got my own login. Be kind, rewind.

No sharing. But there are a bunch of posts about it over the past two years on Reddit. It works correctly once the race is over, but during a live event, it seems to skip one step on Roku vs. a computer. People on Reddit post about how they mute their tv's then close their eyes, press start and then hit rewind before opening their eyes so it's not at the end of the race.

It's funny as a spectator, but he really needs to get his shit together compared to some drivers who just sound so cool & calm on the radio no matter the circumstances. I don't see his tantrums helping him get a seat for RBR.

There should be a car destruction tracker...Yuki has to be close to the top. Crashed cars don't earn points.

Over on reddit they do a Destructors Championship and keep track of all damage. Yuki seems to have chilled out and turned around his performance this season.

I have not tried to watch the race live on Roku TV but on the Apple devices this weekend it was very glitchy. It would play random stuff when you clicked on it along with frequent disconnects.
 
Monaco tomorrow, should be a good race with Charles on pole. it’ll be interesting to see if he can take the win or it he gets screwed by bad pit strategy.
 
I hope Charles wins tomorrow.

For me qualifying is the best part of Monaco. Race is so so because it’s very difficult to battle on the track. Strategy is going to be interesting tomorrow from all the teams.
 
Monaco. My favorite trach however this race was overall kinda boring. The first lap might be the wildest we've seen in a while. Minimal passing, but glad to see the Ferrari on the pole and the podium. Sainz got ultra lucky.
 
The best part of Monaco is qualifying on Saturday. Sunday, is difficult to watch. I am very happy for Charles to win the home race. Lady luck finally smiled on him. Agree, on Carlos getting lucky.

If some of the reports are accurate the cars were driving around slower than F2 cars. I hope they do something soon about making Monaco exciting again, even the drivers are complaining about it and making suggestions to improve racing.

After the red flag on first lap every team made a decision to basically take the points and go home without any damage to the cars. It was painful to watch Fernando back up everyone behind him so Lance could get a free stop and Lance being typical Lance decided to kiss the wall and get a puncture :shrug:

Crazy for the back of the pack to be fighting like that. Checko wisely backed off from getting pinched by the Sauber, but them K-Mag does K-Mag things and takes out Perez. Hulk almost got away with it but got taken out too.
Then the Alpines crash going into the tunnel! 🤦🏼‍♂️ What part of “don’t take your teammate out” didn’t you understand!!!
Carlos definitely got the lucky dog award of the day.
Happy to see LeClerc win at home.

Ocon seems to get red mist when he is racing team mates v/s other drivers. This is team sport and at the end of the year team standing makes huge difference on payout. What happened on Sunday could have a huge impact to the bonus pool. The Alpine drivers came pretty close to taking each other out in Miami also.
 
What an interesting weekend in Montreal. I got to see it in person and had a great time. We were sitting in Grandstand 31 (turn 8/9) and seeing all the action from drivers missing it either hitting the curb wrong or braking late and requiring them to go around the bollards due to the wet condition.
