2024 Brazilian Grand Prix

[donthaveanickname]

All McLaren front row for the sprint with Piastri ahead of Norris.

Verstappen will get a 5-place grid penalty for the main race due to an engine change.

Magnussen is ill and will be replaced by Ollie Bearman again.

 

[Tony_K]

I see Verstappen got a 5 second penalty for the VSC deal. 4th instead of 3rd. He's on a roll. What will tomorrow bring? <sigh>

 

[donthaveanickname]

Qualifying has been delayed as instead of being situated "inter" lagos the track itself has turned into a lake.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Looking like qualifying won't take place today

 

[bigspud]

Saftey car doing numerous laps in the rain, without crashing.
Yet the f1 cars are beached, what a joke.

 

[Speedbowl14]

Looks pretty wet tomorrow, too...

 

[FLRacingFan]

Qualifying set for early Sunday morning while the race has been moved up by 90 minutes in an attempt to avoid the weather.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Honorary Brazilian goes out in Q1.

Lando barely makes it.

 

[donthaveanickname]

That looks like a pit lane start for Carlos.

 

[donthaveanickname]

The red comes out for a Stroll crash, both Red Bulls out in Q2, Max will start 17th.

 

[donthaveanickname]

The let everyone finish their lap before red except Max. Let the conspiracies begin.

 

[donthaveanickname]

The last hour has been quite expensive for Aston.
Damn shame, Fernando was 2nd in Q2 and probably sensed his opportunity to go for pole in these conditions.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Albon completely destroys his car, repairing that in time for the race will be a stretch.

And he was on the way to a ****** front row start.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Well, Lando will have his work cut out for him with him getting pole and everyone else deep in the field.

The Toro Rossos will start 3rd and 5th, Ocon 4th!
For Aston and Williams the question will be whether they can repair both cars or not.

 

[Hotrod]

Went to the ESPN app to find the race. Starts in 5 mins.

With the grid penalties , it will be the "Max coming from the back" show.
On a damp track no-less. Must See T.V.

 

[donthaveanickname]

No rain right now but 100% chance of rain.

Albon out, Sainz starts from pit lane.
Aston managed to repair both cars in time.

 

[Doc Austin]

Stroll beaches his car on the formation lap. Not off to a great start.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Aston managed to repair both cars in time.

And Stroll thanks them by crashing on the warmup lap.
Can't make that stuff up.

Lance has now tried to rejoin the track by driving right into the gravel trap, what in the world.

 

[FLRacingFan]

And Stroll goes full drunkard. Alrighty.

 

[donthaveanickname]

This was the single most stupid thing I can recall seeing in motorsport.

 

[FLRacingFan]

I’d feel pretty good about Max working his way up the field in the wet, but he needs to avoid the lap 1 chaos mired all the way back there. Dangerous position to be in, the last thing he needs is a scoreless day.

 

[Hotrod]

Good grief . What an ominous mess.

 

[aunty dive]

This race has the potential to be a real banger.

I mean that in the nicest possible way.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Now Bottas' car has died on the grid.

 

[Doc Austin]

Jacques: It's starting to fall apart.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Every damn time a spot remains empty someone doesn't get the memo. This time is was Checo.

 

[donthaveanickname]

They won't start this race until it's all pouring down and they won't race at all.

 

[Speedbowl14]

F1- bad weather coming let's move the start up 90 minutes.

Also F1- a car hit the wall under the warm up lap at 20mph, TIME FOR A 15 MINUTE INTERMISSION

 

[Speedbowl14]

Watch Norris get a penalty

 

[donthaveanickname]

This has Brazil 2012 vibes to it. Maybe Hülkenberg will win this time.

 

[Doc Austin]

Now it looks like lando is going to get a penalty for a stating procedure violation.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Watch Norris get a penalty

They all got going. They should all get a penalty.

 

[Speedbowl14]

What a ****** cluster. FIA needed a 15 minute intermission to sort all this crap out.

 

[Hotrod]

Sold out crowd might be having a long day today. Did I hear 5 red flags in quali this a.m.?
At least they all seem happy.
Those are some nasty looking clouds.

 

[donthaveanickname]

And now everyone's gonna park in the right spot?

 

[donthaveanickname]

Someone gonna come and take heavy wets?

 

[donthaveanickname]

Two laps in, race is official.

 

[Doc Austin]

Good grief. Sergio is last.

 

[donthaveanickname]

They all got going. They should all get a penalty.

I was kidding.
But they now noted Russell, Tsunoda and Lawson for an infringement too.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Bunch of brutal passes Max has made into turn one.
