2013 United States Grand Prix (Las Vegas) - April 21st

here comes the chemistry 🍿

maestro currently sitting on those points.. 🙏
what a masterclass of a drive without even needing that šugav DRS 🙏
and yet there are always those "experts" trying to claim he was off track 🤦

The maestro and Hamilton are absolutely shredding two seconds off the McLaren's lap time

DiResta... just like always, he wouldn't defend his driver for anything; he just let him sail right through.

Jenson Button over team radio: "Come on guys."

🤣

Ferrari definitely had the pace today—they just got absolutely wrecked by bad luck

And what exactly is the deal with the penalty handed down to Alonso? 😁

Man, someone needs to remind them that this is actually called "racing."
Ra-cing.

Racing.

It’s honestly criminal how they screwed over Bianchi when they handed his car over to that total amateur on Friday

And yeah, he definitely overreacted a bit. Perez was right there next to him, but he didn't give him an inch of breathing room.

A wounded lion is the most dangerous.

Maestro. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Baby maestro at the controls

You just can't trust anyone. 🤦

Seriously, what is going on with those tires?

Artificial intelligence is absolutely wrecking the race for us.

Ashley Ramirez4 said:Tbf1, you're saying the guy used up all his sets, which might give Vettel an edge. I don't know, maybe—there's a chance Ferrari did that on purpose. If we look back at last year, Ferrari struggled right after their pit stops. People were saying they couldn't get the tires up to temperature, but what if it was actually just the initial surface layer? Like, maybe there's such a massive gap in how fast the rubber wears down that Red Bull hits that optimal "working" layer almost immediately, while Ferrari needs like three laps to get there. And honestly, it doesn't look like tire durability is even their issue this time.

Oh yeah, sure. The maestro is a total genius who obviously braked like an amateur just to ruin his tire sets, intentionally botched that final flyer, and purposefully finished third even though he had a car so fast he could have taken pole from even a Kartikeyan...
The maestro is just so brilliant that everything he does is purely intentional.😍

Honestly, sometimes I wonder why I'm one of the few people left on this forum reading all this nonsense about the maestro.😵
Maybe it's finally time for me to bail too, regardless of who's left from the old guard...

If you were actually thinking about Kartikeyan, then 🤦

everyone else here is just talking total nonsense 🤣

Look, if people claim he could've had a seat at Red Bull Racing before, then sure, he can handle a Ferrari this year too. 😛🤣

I was tied up all day yesterday so I didn't get a chance to catch qualifying, but I see there were a few surprises.
First off, seeing Nico sitting at the halfway mark—I definitely didn't see that coming. Credit where credit is due, though I suspect he’ll struggle to climb higher than third during the actual race, and honestly, maybe I'm being too harsh on him.
As for Ferrari, for heaven's sake, if they don't walk away with the win today—assuming everyone else performs—it’s an absolute failure. They’ve got two cars on different strategies sitting within the top four. Given they almost always nail their starts, I wouldn't be shocked if both Alonso and Masa are fighting for a top three spot by the end of the first turn. All things considered, if they actually play this smart, they have the potential to absolutely crush the competition.
Vettel had a solid qualifying session; I see no reason why he shouldn't be right in the thick of the fight for the win, or at the very least, a podium finish.

Then there's Lotus. What on earth happened to them? Look, let's not dwell on a mediocre qualifying session; they just need to go out there and push as hard as possible during the race. Their race pace is solid, they tend to be quite gentle on their tires, and they usually have a decent start, so they should be hunting for a massive haul of points.
They managed to pull an incredible result out of a similar situation last year, so why couldn't they do it again this time?
