2025 Formula One Thread: We Race This Week!

Oscar claim the spot?

 

Max should have to give that

 

Two cars out of his way and a safety car is great for Lando

 

Shit sucks for gasly

 

If Max keeps that place just shut it down.

 

I'll be damned, we found someone that made Max bail out. Swoon.

 

Oscar is a killer I love it

 

I could also see them saying this is turn 1…no further action. Should be Oscar but we’ll see

 

Max: "He had not intention of making that corner."

Mate, he did make the corner. The fuck is this guy smoking?

 

5 seconds massive

well guess it depends on the pit timing

 

Thats what Verstappen will take, he’ll try to make a 5 sec gap

 

Max has done that countless times and forced others to bail out to avoid a crash and he's always rewarded for it. Oscar should be here.

 

Could they have forced them to swap spots prior to the restart?

 

I'll never understand why the penalty isn't to just give the place up. Makes no sense when the car that was wronged is right behind the car that did the wrong.

 

I get it in some spots bc they races for 5+ minutes prior to the decision being made. On this one they had a yellow and had plenty of time.

 

Apparently once it goes to stewards, penalty is the only answer.

 

He’s gonna get so fined

 

What lap we think for the mediums, 20 ish?

 

Also Red Bull pit stops have sucked lately

 

Yeah 20-25

 

This race is going to be over in a snap. Almost 1/5 done already.

 

The announcers were focused on the gap to Leclerc, but if George can stay within 5 seconds at their pit stops and comes out ahead, the 5 sec penalty is clearly worse than just giving up a spot

 

Lmao Lewis played Lando

 

Lando should know better, he’s got a much faster car you overtake in the second DRS zone. He got impatient

 

Oof that was risky by Lewis, almost took them both out.

 

It was smart, he knows Lando has a lot more to lose

 

What's the undercut like? Can George come in early to take a shot at ending up ahead of max?

 

Oh for sure, just putting a lot of faith in the guy behind you. And he knows more than anyone how risky that move can be. It's smart, just risky, but it worked.

 

Doubtful

 

This McLaren car is absolutely ridiculous

 

Max can’t do shit to Piastri without a safety car

 

Crazy Norris on better tires at this stage isn’t taking any time out of Leclerc on old Mediums

 

Norris managing until he pits? Could he stretch the hards to a 1 stop with softs?

 

Managing more than the guy in front of him on Mediums? No way. He should be able to easily go Hard to soft with that car

 

Great stop ferrari

 

Charles is hauling

 

Yeah but I’m not sure it’ll be a big enough offset to negate the dirty air and overtake George

 

Almost in drs

 

Nvm Charles is absolutely on one today

 

Nice, will he have enough to hold him off

 

Norris makes a big gain on Russell

 

Surprised Lando didn't go hard to soft

 

Wow Norris penalty?

 

I am too

 

It probably finishes Oscar, Max, Charles, Lando but the 2-4 race could potentially get interesting.

 

Wish they'd show the potential Lando penalty

 

Norris gonna make up 10 seconds in 8 laps?

 

Looked ok to me

 

The Merc was so good in qualifying surprised they’ve had a tough Sunday. May have pitted too early
