Hey, thanks for making these every weekend. I appreciate the effort you’re putting into it!

I’m also looking forward to the race after the sprint yesterday, that was real fun. Still undecided on whether stroll takes out Perez or the other way around…:p

Show threadDV8Nov 5, 2023
So anyone else who thinks Stroll will DNF before the end of first lap? I’m not a fan of his, so definitely biased but his best recent results were after he could get a safe start from the pitlane.
Show threadespentanNov 5, 2023
I’d say here’s about a 70% chance he’ll ram someone at the first corner?

I’d say here’s about a 70% chance he’ll ram someone at the first corner?

I’d say there’s about a 90% chance it will be Alonso

Show threadNighedNov 5, 2023
Ohh, was stroll involved in that leclerc incident? 😂
Show threadLCPNov 5, 2023
They were showing the highlights for the 2003 Brazilian Grand Prix on F1TV and wow, that race was something. 10 retirements.
Show threadespentanNov 5, 2023

I remember that one. There really was so much going on…

The howl of the V10, god that was intoxicating…

Show threadPhotographerNov 5, 2023
I thought Massa was banned from the grid because of his court case?
Show threadNighedNov 5, 2023
I’m not sure they would dare keep him out
Show threadPhotographerNov 5, 2023
Great Anthem this.
Show threadJCPhoenixNov 5, 2023
This is a pretty anthem.
Show thread4amNov 5, 2023
Wow, Machine Gun Kelly might the grid walk interview that I have cringed at the hardest so far
Show threadPhotographerNov 5, 2023
No idea why Brundle bothered to stop for him
Show threadJJROKCZNov 5, 2023
Part of it seems like he couldn’t hear and the other part was that he’s just an idiot
Show threadFrostyTrichsNov 5, 2023
Hoping Lando somehow finds his way to P1. It’ll take a miracle, but I’m here for it.
Show threadforsenNov 5, 2023
I am not that familiar with the anthem, did the singer forgot her lines at the beginning or is the anthem like that? Because I swear I saw people still singing despite her being silent
Show threadDV8Nov 5, 2023
Don’t know it either but it seemed to be a very minimalist interpretation of it, as most national anthems are bombastic by design.
Show threadJJROKCZNov 5, 2023
Her actual singing sucked too, stroll and a steward both were cringing
Show thread4amNov 5, 2023
There were tech issues with the broadcast during the Sprint Shootout, I wonder if she had a mic problem? It seemed to come back quite suddenly

Let’s be fair to Charles. With Ferrari’s strategists I would try to eliminate myself too.

That Williams got WRECKED.
Show thread💡dimNov 5, 2023
Did the McClaren pass Perez under SC? Certainly looked like it
Show threadPhotographerNov 5, 2023
Merc did, McLaren has retired
Show threadalphacyberrangerNov 5, 2023
That tyre could have landed on somebody’s head
Show threadLCPNov 5, 2023
Hit Riccardo’s back wing. I’m guessing he’s out as well.
Show threadPhotographerNov 5, 2023
Happened more than once in the past
Show threadDV8Nov 5, 2023
Is that a red flag to clean up and restore the barrier?
Show threadespentanNov 5, 2023
Yeap, and probably to bring out a sweeper car as well.
Show threadJJROKCZNov 5, 2023
There’s half a cars worth of carbon scattered across the first stretch yeah
Show threadTheBlue22Nov 5, 2023
Bro, just redflag this and try again
Show threadDmianNov 5, 2023
What a weird start already
Show threadShieldtoadNov 5, 2023
If they keep crashing at this rate no car will reach the finish.
Show threadDV8Nov 5, 2023
Thunderdome:Sao Paolo edition. 20 cars enter. One car leaves.

The tire carcas hit 2 cars! I hope it wasn’t ricciardos car it hit
Show threadDmianNov 5, 2023
LEC, MAG, ALB out. PIA in doubts.
Show threadTheBlue22Nov 5, 2023
Unless they fix his car, Danny is out as well
Show thread4amNov 5, 2023
Anyone else notice Russel steal the place from Perez when SC was called? I thought there was no passing under SC, George
Show threadPhotographerNov 5, 2023
Yeah looked like a slam dunk penalty to me
Show threadespentanNov 5, 2023
It looked like they were uncertain as to whose place it was, Perez and George drove next to each other for a bit.
Show threadFrostyTrichsNov 5, 2023
That’s how I saw it as well.
Show threadhillbicksNov 5, 2023
Pretty sure checo passed him after the SC flag came out, checo also left a gap then. I think checo would’ve complained otherwise.
Show thread💡dimNov 5, 2023
yeh, looked like it to me, but they are so busy replaying other stuff weve not seen it again
Show threadespentanNov 5, 2023
From the onboard just now it seemed clear that Perez would’ve made the move on George if no yellow flag, but just as the flag came out George was just ahead of Perez. I.e. they assumed the correct order.
