F1 2023


Chance of rain this afternoon but it seems we don’t race in the rain anymore. Drivers complaining about the Pirelli extreme wets.

There is a tyre bidding contest coming up so we may see a new supplier.

The extreme wets are great at shifting water but are too slow. That’s why everyone jumped onto inters yeasterday in the sprint.

and then when it gets dry the inters melt like chocolate. I can't help think that with all the technology advances across the cars - the tyres are lagging behind. That said the pressure has always been for speed rather than longevity. I wonder if they need to increase the options, it is so crucial it could give some options - yesterday had their been slower longer lasting 'inters' up against the set ones then some teams might have stayed out and we would have had more tension - more of a factor in full races of course, but maybe there should be more dimensions to it than at present with teams.

Bizarre anthem singing - feels like Eurovision!
 
Our lass predicted that Verstappen wins by about 22 seconds today.

I genuinely think it'll be double that.
predictions for when maxwell takes the lead?

I’m going with lap 15
Take the 1 off the front of that and I'll go with that.
 
Hamilton lucky that the Ferrari chose to bin the McLaren instead of him. It was a three into one, but Ferrari never seem to cover themselves in glory anymore.
 
WTF did I misread the screen, Hamilton seemed to open the gap slightly and then MV just blasts him away. Ah mistake by hamilton on the replay - not Hamilton's fight I suppose - he needs to concentrate on the Ferrari - better driver better car he should finish ahead of LeClerc.
