F1 Round 2: Jeddah Circuit

[Reck]

What a ****** season we’re in for. Red Bull literally seconds faster than everyone else.

Ferrari and Mercedes are a ****show this season. They both suck so hard.

Hamilton fired his pal Angela too. Lmao Mercedes with an epic meltdown of a season this far.

 

[West]

Very interesting, looks like Max will be putting on a show tomorrow working his way up the pack.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Huuuge opportunity for Alonso!

 

[West]

Huuuge opportunity for Alonso!

I just realised that he's 41, the Brady of F1

 

[FLRacingFan]

Perez P1, Leclerc P2 with a ten-spot grid drop, Alonso P3, Russell P4.

Should be a more interesting race than Bahrain tomorrow with Charles and Max starting midfield.

 

[Reck]

Hamilton is saying adios me thinks.

Literally driving like he’s mailing it in with zero efforts put in.

 

[Hotrod]

This is my favorite storyline for the race and to see
if there is much of a fight as he tries to pass Lewis.

 

[Hotrod]

I try to like Martin Brundle but he really annoys me with his grid walk.
Just thought I would get that off my chest .

Far too early to say that.

 

[aunty dive]

Max from the back?

 

[Hotrod]

Here we go. Max coming up on Lewis.
Lap 11 / 50.

Max started 15th
Had a drive shaft problem in Q2

 

[donthaveanickname]

I watched the first 15 laps and just now tuned back in.
Red Bull is just far too dominant.

 

[Hotrod]

Whew , what a brick . On to PGA and NASCAR.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Happy for Checo and (again) Alonso.
There will be races where the Red Bulls have problems and he'll be ready to pounce.

 

[Truex_rox]

Alonso just notched up podium #100. Love to see it.

 

[Reck]

Ferrari somehow worse off than Mercedes is surprising.

 

[Doc Austin]

Once Checko got past Alonso the race lost a lot of it's interest. Verstappen coming from that far back has merely become what's expected for him and that car. If anyone else had done it we've be wunderstruck, but when Max does it that's just what he's supposed to do.

Mercedes seems to have caught up just a little bit, but you have to wonder what that will look like when they do the first upgrade.

McLaren and Williams dueling for position, just like old days, only it's 18th instead of a win. Sargent did well to split those cars.

We've had a really big weekend already and we still have the Nascar race to go!

Jack man the hell you doing..

 

[Marcingak]

Alonso is a legend.

[Doc Austin]

All these penalties are getting be annoying.

 

[Greg]

Why couldn't they decide they decide that he didn't correctly serve the penalty during the actual race?

 

[FLRacingFan]

Great race from Checo, he lapped really well and maintained a solid gap to Max when it counted. Quite a win he would’ve had without the very unnecessary safety car. The RB19 is just miles ahead of everyone else.

 

[donthaveanickname]

That's a joke, they get 5 second penalties for spinning soneone out but a 10 second penalty for a tiny mishap.
I hope Aston will appeal this.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Why couldn't they decide they decide that he didn't correctly serve the penalty during the actual race?

Sounds like they have their heads up their ass most of the time. They called the safety car for Stroll because the GPS said he was on track while he had pulled behind the barrier. They’re not looking at any TV feeds or anything?

 

[FLRacingFan]

Nice!

 

[donthaveanickname]

Nice!

Good call. I guess it doesn't really matter since he's been in like 20,000 of them but it still sucks he didn't get to take part in the podium ceremony.

 

[Tony_K]

F1 causes me to shake my head too often but I'm not surprised. Been watching it forever and will keep watching.

 

[Doc Austin]

Ben Sulayem really tightened race control up, and now that he is no longer involved in running F1, we're right back to Pickadilly circus again.

Ben Suleyam is a caricature. He didn't make anything better. lol

 

[Doc Austin]

Ben Suleyam is a caricature. He didn't make anything better. lol

He's not involved in running F1 any more, anyway. While he was more directly involved he handled things as much behind the scenes as he could. Now that's he's not, they are back to messes like today.

 

[West]

One of these races, security will remove a driver from the podium, take the trophy and escort him off (maybe throw in a taser shot)

 

[Doc Austin]

In the end race control made the right decision, so let's give them a little slack. We could have done without the mess though.

It does seem F1 has too damm many rules.

 

[rd45usa]

Wow, glad for Alonso! Damn!

 

[aunty dive]

This guy …

 

[Doc Austin]

There are rumors that Jos is a mighty butthole.
