Read a very interesting article, saying that Mclaren could well have the best car on the grid. I sincerely hope so (although I have my doubts), and would love to see Riciardo with a world title (assuming he can beat Norris). Even more, would love to see someone else, other than LH with a title.

 

Well I know who I would love to see win the title  :whistling:

Looks promising, tomorrow we will know. 

 

Alonso who reckons he is better than any of the current champs needs to step up to the plate hey. Yuki T seems like a shrewd move.

Yip, the self proclaimed best on the grid has it all to do in that Alpine. What was great to see though was the long run race sim runs, with Max and Lewis being identical on pace. Now, nobody can be sure of the run plans, but if FP2 was a close reflection, we are in for one hell of a season. Let's hope it plays out like that. The data analysis puts Lewis ahead by just over a tenth, theoretically, but Lewis would need to put all those sectors together in a single lap though. What was also great to see is that Perez was about just over 2 tenths away from Max in race sim and given his tyre whispering ability, RBR definitely have a serious chance this year. Also, Bottas looks like he is having trouble with tyres...no surprise.

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...

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! ????

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

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.
