Let’s go. Super exited about this race.
Show thread_HadekJul 23, 2023
Same, the return of danny ric… let’s go motorracing!
Show threadWabbitsmilesJul 23, 2023

Hyped! Looking out for

  • If and how long Lewis can hold P1
  • Both McClaren and Alfa Romeo keeping in the points at the end
  • Perez battles and climbing up
  • Ferrari strategy not working
  • DANNY RICCCCC
Show threadsaltescJul 23, 2023

I’m just stoked there’s two Aussies on the F1 grid, and they’re both good, and, if the stars align, they both get points.

Also the possibility of a bit of Hammy v Max battling again, even just a bit.

Come on Ricciardo!!
Show threadJimmyMcGillJul 23, 2023

Same here. It’s shaping up to be a good one.

Inb4 max is 3s clear at the end of lap 1

Show threadDurotarJul 23, 2023

Inb4 max is 3s clear at the end of lap 1

With Lando and Lewis retiring after a collision.

Mate… please… it would have cost you literally nothing to not have written that comment
Show threadPhotographerJul 23, 2023
Hoping for big things from McLaren, Lando has great race pace the other top runners only have one car at the front so pit stop strategy should be in their hands
Show threadbhmnscmmJul 23, 2023
He’s in a really good position to get a run on Max at the start. Hopefully he can get ahead and keep Max behind a bit longer than Silverstone!
Show threadxtractJul 23, 2023
Go go go!
Show threadSloganJul 23, 2023
Excited to see what the Alfa Romeos can do. The victory will easily go to Max though I think.
Show threadPizzasDontWearCapesJul 23, 2023

Let’s see how aggressive he and Lewis get on lap 1

You have to think that Lewis has nothing to gain by settling for 2nd, and Max wouldn’t let his own kid win a backyard race, so he’s not conceding anything

Show threadSloganJul 23, 2023
That’s a possibility indeed that something would happen at the start. But in a clean race,
I can’t see Lewis or anyone else matching Max’s pace.
Show threadstarlord2014Jul 23, 2023
Does anyone think the Alfas will be able to maintain their quality pace in the race? Or will they be like Haas and drop back over time?
Show threadSloganJul 23, 2023
My understanding is that their race pace looked quite good in the practices.
Show threadHungoverRabbitJul 23, 2023
This is sweet, decent upgrade from Damian Lewis
Show threadbhmnscmmJul 23, 2023
Have AT changed their side mirrors? They look so different than every other car
Show threadHungoverRabbitJul 23, 2023
Shaping up to be a good one, let's hope it's a banger
Show threadbhmnscmmJul 23, 2023
It’s a bit odd seeing all these medium compounds at the front. I think the new tire allocation will result in a lot more strategies

RIP Zhou, what a bummer

What happened to the Alpines?
Show threadEmetJul 23, 2023
disaster for Alfa
Show threadGsichtJul 23, 2023
Peak Ferrari, not swapping the cars.
Show threadstroepJul 23, 2023
I was so confused. It didn’t make any sense to keep Sainz behind Leclerc at that moment. It was their obligatory fuckup, I think
Show thread💡dimJul 23, 2023

I feel like the grid is the wrong way around here and pole should have been on the inside.

Or Max is just that damn good.

Show threadKadath (she/her)Jul 23, 2023

I feel like the grid is the wrong way around here and pole should have been on the inside

Yup. Regardless of who one supports, it is a bad design IMHO.

Show threadBaskinRobbinsJul 23, 2023
I feel like I remember Bottas talking about purposely trying to qualify 2nd here in 2021
Show threadlackthoughtJul 23, 2023
I think the reason is because the outside is the normal racing line, so the inside is typically dirty
Show threadStylus_XLJul 23, 2023
Before the race started, every driver/pundit said the inside is usually quite dirty and it statistically puts you at a distinct disadvantage down to turn one. This year’s race start runs contrary to previous years where the pole sitter has comfortably held the lead.
Show threadlackthoughtJul 23, 2023
wow Alpine having a rough month
Show threadHungoverRabbitJul 23, 2023
RIP Alpine
Show threadbhmnscmmJul 23, 2023
What a start by Piastri! He’s so impressive for a rookie.
Show threadCoelacanthJul 23, 2023
Let’s hope he’ll start getting some recognition soon, I can’t believe how few people are hyping him!
Show threadbhmnscmmJul 23, 2023
I agree, I think more people will notice now that he’s got a competitive car. He hasn’t been that far off Lando all season
Show threadCoelacanthJul 23, 2023
And Lando is considered by many to be one of the best on the grid, only a hair behind the elites like Lewis/Max. Super impressive for a damn rookie!
Show threadBaskinRobbinsJul 23, 2023
Dude Alpine is so unlucky
Show threadEmetJul 23, 2023
Not a great start for danny, causing a double dnf
Show threadlackthoughtJul 23, 2023
Zhou hit him
Show threaddeejay4amJul 23, 2023
I thought it was Yuki
Show threadbrewdtypeJul 23, 2023
I don’t think that’s a fair characterization. He was boxed in on at least three sides (not sure about his right). Nowhere to go, then Zhou lost downforce and hit from behind.
Show threadCoelacanthJul 23, 2023
And Gasly had a fantastic start too, that was such bad luck.
Show threadbhmnscmmJul 23, 2023
They just said his seat broke in half when his car landed. That must have been a pretty painful incident too.
Show threadJJROKCZJul 23, 2023
That was Esteban iirc
Show threadHungoverRabbitJul 23, 2023
Lol 5s for causing 2 DNF +sending Ric down to last. WTF
Show threadKadath (she/her)Jul 23, 2023
Penalties are absolutely random.
Show threadHungoverRabbitJul 23, 2023
Might as well just send it into the midfield, gain 10 places and take the 5s
Show threadSninSJul 23, 2023

I reckon that’s fair. Probably as bad as going of the track 3 times

/s

Show threadstarlord2014Jul 23, 2023
They really need to change the approach, they should consider the outcome of the driver’s actions.
Show threadSninSJul 23, 2023
Yeah ridiculous that taking 2 drivers out is as bad as running wide 3 times
Show threadbhmnscmmJul 23, 2023
They’re always pretty lenient on incidents at race starts.
Show threadSninSJul 23, 2023
Yeah it makes sense but I think the track limit thing needs to change. I think Norris has 2 Track limit infringements right now… Maybe I’m just a bit traumatized by Austria tbh
Show threadJJROKCZJul 23, 2023
Yea I was sure he would get 10s at the very least but the 5s is almost worth it
Show threadKadath (she/her)Jul 23, 2023
+5 for Zhou.
Show thread💡dimJul 23, 2023
Really cannot fathom how/why Sainz is still behind Leclerc
Show threadHungoverRabbitJul 23, 2023
Just Ferrari things
Show threadjimmy90Jul 23, 2023
Can Lewis get past the McLarens?
Show threadBaskinRobbinsJul 23, 2023
It would take a safety car I think
