F1 2024

Interesting that Max is moaning and making mistakes so quickly after falling back into the pack, but Spa next week so we will see then who really has the fastest car

Looking forward to it

Nozza should have strung out the overtaking requests by replying:

"I'll think about it."
"Can you get my lawyers on the radio?"
"I want a free McLaren road car and a kilo of cocaine."

Talk about missed comedy moments.

Don't let Lando anywhere near that trophy

 

[Buddy Bradley]

Someone on another group said they should penalise Max 70 WDC points, just enough so that Lando would have been in the lead if he hadn't let Piastri past.

I think he'll get 5 or 10 second penalty, but hope he get a grid penalty for Spa (unlikely)

Bog off Nico.

That's a great philosophy for life.

I was pleased the (Sky) commentators called it right away. Even Nico (Miami Vice) Rosberg said it should be a 10 second penalty.

A pal of mine has a great line every time someone drops something:

"Whoa! Everybody, let's have a big hand for the juggler!"

 

[Limejuice]

Well, that was a two-tins-of-Abbot-Ale (plus several snacks) race.

More of the same, please.

The governor says she feels like she wants to mother Oscar Piastri, I hope that isn't a youthanism

Nico Who? needs a good haircut.

Don't they have barbers in Monaco?

The more i think about it, my view is Lando did the right thing but the team did the wrong thing

Same points for the team but lost points for Lando

They do, but very expensive for a retiree

Agreed. I also believe that Nozza did the right thing in the wrong way. Instead of the post-race natterati talking about the ins and outs of the Nozza's conduct, it should be about the team strategy bringing in drivers out of sequence.

 

[spitfire]

Max up next.

 

[planetgeli]

Only came in for the end bit. Can someone say why Norris had to give up the place? Had he nicked it in the first place (and if so, how)?

Yes. the team would have got the constructors points whichever way hey finished, but they lost upto 9 points in the drivers championship. Having that number 1 on your car is really important for sponsorship etc.

Team let him box first when he was in 2nd place, should have been Piastri as he was infront

 

[Ax^]

max been crying

 

[Limejuice]

Max's explanation of his contact with Hammy indicates he hasn't seen an external replay of his fuck-up.

ETA: Nico has said exactly the same thing. I feel unclean.

 

[Ax^]

it unfair that the guy going around the corner continued to go around the corner

when i appeared out of fucking nowhere "wahhhhhhhhh"

 

[Ax^]

someone show him the footage


going to be interesting see him coming out of the stewards


"well shitttteee"

 

[planetgeli]

Cheers. So what was McLaren's reasoning for doing so? Tactical fuck up? Or done in the knowledge (hope?) that Norris would 'do the right thing'? Or something more complicated?

Just trying to work out the 'morals' of this.

 

[spitfire]

Crofty sneaked in a reference to the second part* of the famous saying. "There's no I in team" during the final laps when he was talking to Brundle, "Great to have U here today."







*But there is a U in cunt.

 

[1%er]

Max is a real hypocrite, he turns in on other drivers all the time. Lewis was well infront when he turned into the corner.

He put all the blame on the team, really not a team player and after all his team has done for him. Way to go to get your team to turn against you

I personally think it was a wrong team call, they get the same points whoever finished first, but didn't help Lando in the drivers championship.

Bad call in my view and not a good way for Piastri to win his first race, Lando was over 5 seconds infront when they told him to give up the place

Agree.

Lewis was infront it is his choice to decide when to turn in, Max left it to late to brake
