Re: Formula1
Paraphrasing:
Lambiase: well done Max, that's how to get it done, and with no contact as well.
Max: yeah I know how to do that
That exchange after Max passed George on the restart, actually riled me the most. Anyone that knows racing, in any form would understand that things are much easier when you have a second a lap on everyone else. I'd refer Max to Max in '21.Max basically doesn't want racing or enjoyment, or entertainment it seems.
Already, the only hope is that Checo beats Max over the next couple of rounds to get a points advantage, then we can sit back and watch the fun.

Re: Formula1
So max leads by lap 4 (as soon as DRS enabled). 35 kmph differential to the Ferrari with DRS enabled for Max. Nuts.

Re: Formula1
Not much of a race. The Verstappen’s will be unhappy. Good drive from Perez to deal comfortably with the pressure.
Red Bull’s aside overtaking and following becoming increasingly problematic and it was a snooze fest as a result.
Ocon pits on the final lap with a pit lane full of people, photographers and celebrating Red Bull crew amongst them. Shocking H+S and rules not being followed.

Re: Formula1
You could tell by his stupid boat that he was furious about that.
Someone could have been killed in the pit lane. Will Redbull be getting sanctioned?

Re: Formula1
They did a good job today of missing the little action there was on tv.
The bulls are so far ahead still and not sure if Leclerc just extracted the maximum from a Ferrari like Mercedes did in aus. Certain tracks suit certain cars.
Thankfully checo won as anybody who says you watch F1 for the battles all the way down is talking **** (although yes it’s good to see). End of the day we are watching for the victory and challenging for it.

Re: Formula1
Says it all really. F1 is really on a slippery slope at present. I've been missing it for the last week, and then when it arrives it's such a poor show.
The only joy is Perez ruffling Max's feathers. A dnf for Max at Miami would really spice the championship up.

Re: Formula1
Miami coming up on Sunday
Could someone enlighten me why others aren't simply copying Red Bull's design?
In MotoGP, all the factories are looking at the developments of the others.
They even walk up and down in the paddock and look at the other bikes

Re: Formula1
Cost cap for one, some teams (Merc) would need to build from the ground up again and it is not possible, secondly they need to work out what RB are doing (the mega DRS seems to be a mystery to other teams) to be able to copy it. Thirdly (in some cases) Pride.
They are all slowly converging but simply copying Red Bull isn't a complete answer, a number of the slower teams are more RB like and it has not helped them.

Re: Formula1
If I read Toto's comment right, he says that they will change. Due to the cost cap, they'll need to change more slowly. Otherwise they would have already been throwing new designs into the mix.
Its strange that no other team have found the Red Bull DRS key. At least five teams who want to climb onto the top spot, with plenty of talent within (Alpine, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Mercedes and McLaren?)

Re: Formula1
Weird comments on social media and various fan sites over the last few days implying RB is divided, essentially Checo's side of the garage doing their own thing versus the whole team being pro Max. I've not seen anything from reputable source so is all conjecture, but it would be good if true.
The only potential fly in the ointment is that Ricciardo is hovering in the background like the forfeit car in the old Top Gear episodes, should Perez fail to comply.

Re: Formula1
I've head on the podcast grape-vine that Ricciardo in the simulator has been an eye opener.. He is terrible, Liam Lawson is destroying him.. if true he is finished.Gaz wrote: ↑Thu May 04, 2023 3:27 pm Weird comments on social media and various fan sites over the last few days implying RB is divided, essentially Checo's side of the garage doing their own thing versus the whole team being pro Max.

I hope Checo nuts the mardy git and gives him something to really cry about..
To be honest, making up stories about a potential Red Bull implosion is all we really have left this season... Sad..

I find this surprising.
