Mode 7 posted:If Danny Ric is so bad how did he beat noted poggers driver Lando Norris then? Check and mate, Ric haters IKR what a poo poo pair of cars they have this season. That was the only disappointment for me in this race, otherwise it was just refreshing to see a different ending with unexpected results. K-mag 5th! Zhou 10th in his first f1! The Alpines and Alpha-Romeo-Ferrari in the points! Red Bull nowhere! Mercedes not at the front! This could be an interesting year.

Another great race, K-Mag still impressing, Ocon somehow has somehow become a racing driver at some point, astonishing, and ...well at least Lando is in the top ten. Danny stop blowing the car up.

Payndz posted:If Red Bull has to win then at least it was Checo, but god drat, Ferrari. How the hell do you turn a 1-2 into a 2-4 with the guy on pole in fourth? Other than apparently planning your race strategy using a ZX Spectrum F1 management game from 1983. The 2nd revision of the ZX Spectrum Next is due sometime halfway through 2023 now, thanks to covid and XILINX, so they had to work with what they had

Caught the race, and Monaco this year was much improved by the weather. Wet races are my jam anyway, they expose all the weaknesses in F1 and it was a constellation of poo poo-fuckery on display last weekend.

Deltasquid posted:Fam I’m not feeling super confident about that ferrari power unit It's not the mechanics I'd be concerned with at this point, it's whether Ferrari have an intelligible strategy for the season at all. Like the OP said, its a long season, things could change. Blowing one engine and possibly compromising another could indicate a deliberate strategy to win early points as a buffer and take penalties to replace the hardware, in which case that's come way too early. Or it could simply mean an over-anxious desire to win the grid, and stay ahead at all costs and they've just run the machines beyond their tolerance. Most people in this thread aren't going to credit Ferrari with the cunning of the former strategy, which makes more sense as a late-stage season move like we saw from Mercedes. But perhaps that's the gamble, who knows? At some point, most of the field are going to have issues just due to attrition, especially with a new hardware code, this "pit stop" could be lucky for Ferrari. Or it could be the signature of the end of their championship hopes.

Residency Evil posted:Pretty amazing that we’re unsure whether a team that has sunk billions in to its F1 program over the years has “an intelligible strategy.” I'm assuming the thread is going with the passion, it's just me trying to give them the benefit of the doubt that this was deliberate. Pushing the limits of the new code early in the series may not be too much of a risk if you're confident you can make up the difference later. Most of the other teams are just trying to make their implementations efficient, but you'd expect Mercedes, RB and Ferrari to be pushing it somewhere.Maybe this will be clearer in another 5 races.

Cimber posted:I'm not surprised Carlos hosed that up. There were a few different coloured bins for this weekend, not merely that McLaran's cars are poo poo and their drivers are helpless. Alpha Tauri massively failed, and I assume Haas crossed some French god. Vettel seemed to give up after his qualifying failure, but Stroll saved the day with a shiny new point and no walls were harmed...yet. The real loser of the day was Alonso who was owed better than that 7th place to a bunch of chancers gifted easy places by safety cars and cheap pitstops they did not deserve. Relying on safety cars as a strategy is getting a bit ridiculous, I think they should limit the safety car pitstops you can do and make them less of a temptation to go in. Then if one holds a safety car pitstop in reserve that might be a better tactic later in a race than one who used theirs earlier.

Crofty/Brundle Madness: the "awesome" British triad of Lewis Lando and George, only one of whom has ever one an F1 race and the other two can do everything but. In particular the gurgling about George der Wunderkind this weekend has developed into a weird narrative like he's got some kind of voodoo radar checking out all other racers and their strategies.

learnincurve posted:I'm slightly concerned by people confusing Jenson Button with Brundle tbh They all blur in to "general British commentator accent" after a while, and I forgot to throw Button into the mix. And it wasn't the obvious favouritism for you dumbos on the thread who pick the most stupid interpretation of everything, it was their weird expression of that favouritism.
