Let’s do the time warp again

We in for a good season.

Oh dear Checco

 

Marzipan is going to ruin a lot of drivers quick laps in Q1 this season.

We in for a good season.

ABSOLUTELY! Fair to say this puts the sand bag theories to rest...? RBR definitely have a great car this year and with Max at the wheel, he's surely got to be slightly ahead of Lewis as the favourite. Yes, it's early in the 23 race season, but RBR starting with a great car and given their season development record, they must surely fancy their chances. I wish Perez took a set of softs in his last crack though. Nevertheless, I reckon his best strategy now is to start on the hard tyres...

[aiyaaz]

Funny to see some of the hardcore Merc fans on other forums claiming the sand bags are still on for Merc and that they've been asked to slow their cars for the spectacle. I think RBR just have a comparable, if not slightly better performing car this year and the lap Max put together was mm perfect. The Mercs did look the best on the mediums though, so this should be one hell of an interesting battle tomorrow! ????

[IceCreamMan]

Good race and I thi k the season will be exciting.

 

 

But once again, get in there Lewis...

 

Don't know how redbull dropped the ball

Excellent race.

 

44 went off track there a couple of times without sanction. Seems a tad unfair 33 had to concede the position.

 

But a glorious race.

 

Perez shined. Well done

[Vetplant]

That is all we wanted, a good close fight on comparatively equal footing.

 

I can watch more races if they all have this tension and intrigue.

[WrightJnr]

Brilliant race. Anyone who thinks Merc would have won with Russell in that seat today needs to appreciate LH44’s talents.

 

But Redbull lost that one. They should have held position and taken a 5sec penalty post race. Even better, MV33 should not have exceeded track limits on the pass.

 

I’m looking forward the the next race. Now onto MotoGP.

[Baldrick]

Hope Gene enjoys spending his Russian money.

 

F1 needs to be clear about track limits

[aiyaaz]

Maybe a little patience was needed from Max, as the Red Bull with Max at the wheel had the pace today, so he'd surely have taken Lewis with DRS. Lewis did a fantastic job, as good as he could have given with an assumed car deficit. Checo did well after the pit lane start. I hope Checo starts whipping Bottas so that RBR can pull ahead in the WCC.

Lewis was one more infringement away from a black/white flag, with the next thereafter leading to 5s penalty. The stewards confused the drivers there today though. But yeah, great start to the season! Can't wait for Checo to start whipping Bottas and punishing Merc for driver choices and ultimately lead to them suffering in the WCC fight.

Excellent race Lewis. What a champion and hoping for more great races in 2021.

I like the new MotoGP innovation where they put pressure pads on the outside in the green areas, immediately know when someone has strayed a bit.

They also have strict rules, 3 times you get a warning on the dash, 2 more times and you get a long loop penalty. Don't take that and you get time added. A lot more fair.

[Steven Knoetze (sk27)]

After my response above and thinking a bit more.
F1 many years ago allowed drivers to use the curb and then some. Bad call I think.
That being said the pressure pads could be put at exact points accounting for the cars width it they were straddling the curb.

 

I just think the FIA cannot run this series properly, they haven't for some time which is why the racing has stagnated. Dorna can be commended for the turn around in MotoGP, an example of how good F1 could become again with good rules and implementation.

[Eugene Oppelt]

I laaik Max, hey. Just pure racer

Great to see him up there with Lewis, another pure racer.

 

It's a bit like the sun setting on the one and rising on another - generations.
