Imola canceled due to weather! Wow

The Producer 05-17-2023 08:10 AM

holy - logistics nightmare. pack up and head for Monaco I guess

EvoFire 05-17-2023 08:48 AM

Can they even go in and get their stuff if the weather doesn't let up? Seems like the teams have arrived and started setting up already.

StylinRed 05-18-2023 01:17 PM

Yeah most the teams stuff was sitting St the track before the storms hit, and the track got flooded too with their containers, wonder how much it'll affect Monaco

Eff-1 05-19-2023 11:18 AM

Essential de-rigging personnel were allowed into the paddock earlier this week and everything will make it to Monaco on time without issues (including Mercedes new upgraded car haha)

SkinnyPupp 05-19-2023 03:39 PM

What happens with the Imola race? Will they go back during what was normally an off weekend?

Monaco quali!!! Live spoilers below

Spoiler!


Holy shit what a nail biting quali down to the last sector. Amazing.

StylinRed 05-27-2023 07:16 AM

God damn what a quali

The Producer 05-27-2023 09:34 AM

certainly the best quali action of the season - maybe the best action in general

the race may be boring, but the Monaco quali is pretty exciting.

Max, what. Beast fuck thought Alonso was gonna hold onto it

With the track evolution I think Alonso could've taken it if he went after Max.

Credit where it's due tho, Max was down by 0.3 after sector 1 and 2, yet managed to get it all back in the shortest Q3 sector. That's nuts.

StylinRed 05-27-2023 02:30 PM

Leclerc 3place penalty so he'll be starting in 6th,his race engineer didn't tell him about Norris on a hot lap let alone ab any of the cars behind him, supposedly all they talked about was Verstappen

So it'll be Max, Alonso, Ocon!, Sainz, Ham, Lec

Certain drivers?

I would say Yuki takes the cake when it comes to outbursts, like how he was bitching about his brakes.

Yup I think that came after my post.. Sainz was really mad at his team too lol

Hondaracer 05-28-2023 05:18 PM

If it wasn’t for the rain would have been pretty boring typical Monaco but ended up being pretty good, basically going to have to be 1000% perfect in your strategy to have any chance at beating Max ie. if Alonso had pitted a lap later with the full wets etc.

Eff-1 05-29-2023 07:51 AM

My favourite thing about this year's race was the television coverage. So many new camera angles this year showing off the track. I had no idea there was a short steep hill starting at the exit of the tunnel going down into the chicane. Plus the helicopter shots were super cool, I'd constantly pause and spend a few seconds looking at the city, mountains, yachts and harbour lol.

In case anyone is wondering, it's because FOM finally took over the coverage away from the local Monaco TV production company who had been doing it every year up until now.

Great68 05-29-2023 08:21 AM

Just so crazy how Max could stretch the mediums out longer than Alonso could with the hards, while having pulled a 6 second gap. What's the point of different compounds at this point? I miss the tire performance cliffs of 2011-2012.

Hondaracer 05-30-2023 05:11 PM

Did anyone watch highlights from the Indy 500? Lol! What a fucking shit show. I haven’t watched Indy in as long as I can remember

There must have been almost 10 crashes IN THE PITS lol a car drove over a stray wheel, a few different times cars almost ran over pit crew etc. it was mayhem lol

Literally a Mario Kart burn out leaving the pits and almost crashing into the wall

Gasly was handed 2 penalties of 3 grid spot drops each. https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/a...SenvPgafq.html

SkinnyPupp 06-03-2023 05:21 PM

Good point, here's the final grid. I wonder if Ferrari finds something wrong with LeClerc's car and he starts from the pit on the spare chassis
