Everyone at the sportsbook ☕
Look, I know this makes zero sense and sounds totally unhinged, but I’ve got my reasons 😁
Predictions from the future by stormybadger8 🧐
Sam Clark75 said:Everyone has their own opinion, I suppose, but I nearly drifted off to sleep three different times. Watching that ALB-GAS-HAM train was easily the most tedious experience; in the end, nobody even managed to overtake anyone else. 🤦
Aside from Leclerc's self-inflicted blunder a few laps from the finish, it was pure, unadulterated boredom from the moment the safety car came out.
graniteharbor502 said:Apparently, the sprint race format just makes it a losing proposition for them. With only two practice sessions on the schedule, they simply don't get enough track time to accurately gauge if their new upgrades actually work.
swiftmaker12 said:Yesterday was the 13th, and honestly, it was one of the best days I've had all year.
Photographer Veljko Jukič, who has been covering Formula 1 for over 40 years—writing for Car and Driver back in the old days and now for MotorTrend—helped me secure an F1 Photo pass once again...
I won't post them here on the forum, but since I'm already in touch with ZekoHond, I'll send him a screenshot of my email via Wocap...
Damn, whoever was feeling jealous of both me and you guys...
The only place I'm going to vent about this forum is right here, so I'll send some photos directly from the center of the action at the track instead...
assuming, of course, the Italians let me inside...
cosmicmoose2 said:An interesting statistic:
In 2021, Perez's average qualifying gap to Max was 0.673 seconds. In 2022, it dropped to just 0.065 seconds.
Jason Campbell70 said:There were all those interesting theories and predictions about how the new cars would be so good at following one another that we might even consider getting rid of DRS entirely in the future.
Looking at what happened today, and even what we saw during those first two races... man, it’s quite something...
mellowtiger83 said:Someone tell Charles Leclerc what kind of message he needs to send out there.
Tibac, I already told you what I thought about Leclerc...🙂
Max is trailing by 46 points now, and both Lewis Hamilton and George Russell have pulled ahead of him in the standings. Oh, my dear Max...
Alexander Albon finally secured a point for Williams...🙂
Raymond Anderson4 said:Perez told Sky that they likely went with the wrong setup. He used "we," which suggests he feels he and Max were running pretty much the same configuration.
Today they ran a setup with higher downforce, which might be the culprit. They actually looked more competitive when they were running lower downforce...
stormybadger8 said:I haven't had this specific feeling since way back in 2008 before the race at Monza, so you can imagine how I feel 😁
The odds on a Vettel victory are looking incredibly tempting at 999 🤣
Tibi placed his bet, though it would have been a much more interesting move if the odds were 666 😈🤣
stormybadger8 said:Probably 🤣
Well, at least he can start looking for a new team right away or just start thinking about retirement...
Joining AM was clearly a massive disaster...
It’s such a shame because I really liked the FI crew; they always knew how to punch above their weight class despite their size and budget, but now that they finally have the money, they're worse than ever 🤦
Based on everything I've seen so far, I have a feeling AM won't even see a podium this season....
It's blindingly obvious that old man Stroll is an idiot who meddles in everything, basically tearing the team apart to its breaking point...
Such a waste, especially since back when VJ was running things, they functioned almost flawlessly...
And honestly, if you look at the whole transfer saga, it turns out they did Perez a huge favor by kicking him to the curb, and it's starting to look like Bottas might be next...
Magnussen absolutely nailed it, while the old man and his son Mazepin are probably sitting at home biting their nails seeing how good Haas has suddenly become 🤣
Nancy Perez75 said:The big question for tomorrow is this: how exactly is Ferrari going to mess up the race?
a) They’ll nail the pit stop timing all wrong because they’re terrified of an undercut from Hamilton or Checo.
b) The crew will screw something up during a tire change.
c) They'll get too aggressive in Turn 1 and let Max blow right past them.
d) They'll come up with some other ridiculous strategy on the fly.
