Grand Prix thread GRAN PREMIO DE LA CIUDAD DE MÉXICO 2023

norris, no progress.

Hamilton, slow progress and a podium is well on when le clerc finally changes that front wing

 

Sounds like cooling is more of an issue than they expected. I am guessing we are going to have a few retirements.

 

I’m only watching to see if Lewis can beat both Ferrari and get 2nd

 

Second is definitely on the cards I would think.

 

inevitable, I'd say.

unless verstappen engine blows.

 

Charles is not getting that tenner from me unless he finishes the job and takes Max off too.

 

If only

 

I think that's George's job now

 

So with that broken wing Leclerc has still pulled 7 seconds on Sainz. Do the endplates just do nothing these days?

 

Surely Ferrari should split the strat now Lewis has undercut them?
I forgot, Ferrari don't do strat....

 

Am I the only who utterly detests this era?

Im not sure this 18inch wheel thing has worked. The DRS is a nonsense and remains crucial to overtakes. The budget cap has left the dominant car miles ahead in the same way as the engine token system 2014 left the dominant engine miles ahead.

The whole thing needs a good look at.

And this isn’t a max thing - I hated the 2014 and 2015 seasons with an absolute passion too.

This is as dull as dishwater. Absolutely woeful.

 

Wow that’s a nasty one- SC please

 

red flag?

 

we are just watching two ferrari who's team has decided to cruise round for a one stopper against a team going 2 stop.

now we've a safety car and the whole strategy is out the window.

 

Ferrari got so close to holding out long enough to benefit from that

 

That's a nasty one

 

As Charles is on 2 lap old tyres at least that has negated Max’s spare hard tyre advantage

 

Does Red Flag give us a lights out grid start?

 

Should do
