I watched the first one haven't watched the second one yet. I hope things get better than that first race because I am going to get tired of watching the Ver parade real quick.

Some good racing from 3rd on back. Australia this weekend. P1 is Thursday here.

Critterman · « **Reply #4052 on:** March 24, 2024, 11:41:42 AM »

SPOILER ALERT!

Max did not win Australia.

I picked up F1 TV right before Australia and am fully caught up.
I figured I would give it another chance after watching Last season via the Netflix special

SA
You will like this past weekend's race. That's all I will say.

Second race Red Bull ran away with it, but 3rd place down had some great racing.
Hell 10-15 was pretty insane
Kudos to the Bearman. That was a heck of a drive for his first F1 Race

I'll wait for others to confirm they have seen Australia

So far in the off season we have:

Gunther is out at Haas

Ham is headed to Ferrari in a year

Horner is being investigated for misconduct.

Did I miss anything?

What was up with Horner?
I never heard anything.

Critterman · « **Reply #4055 on:** March 29, 2024, 01:55:39 PM »

He supposed to have been inappropriate with a female RB employee. She was suspended with pay and moved. Horner appears to me be making a grab for team ownership/control. Max's dad is against it and is rumored to be the source of the information.

Hmmm. Wonder what Ginger had to say about that.

Critterman · « **Reply #4057 on:** April 01, 2024, 01:26:20 PM »

At the moment she seems to be supportive.

elff · « **Reply #4058 on:** April 06, 2024, 08:56:21 AM »

O damn
Never heard about that.

So last race was quite interesting and I think Sainz is doing a great job for his CV.
Comes back from surgery to win

Apparently Ferrari poached some MB personel for next season which was a big part of why Hamilton is moving to them.

Watching Qualifying now

Finally watched Australia much better than the first two. Did anything come from the Russell crash investigation with regard to Alonso brake checking him?

Is it me or did Max's dad appear not to be in the pits the last few races?

elff · « **Reply #4060 on:** April 07, 2024, 09:22:23 AM »

Alonso got a 20 second race penalty. It dropped him from 6 to 8th.

I don't pay attention to who is in the pits much, so I don't know.

Verstappen and RB are still winning, so why would there be drama between Verstappen's father and Horner?
I'd assume people would not want to rock that boat.

Finally got to watch Japan, not much to comment about. Is Williams going to have two cars for China?

Critterman · « **Reply #4062 on:** April 14, 2024, 09:18:32 PM »

China is this week and Williams still don't have a spare tub. We will find out this weekend if they have repaired the one damaged.

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #4063 on:** April 15, 2024, 01:13:16 PM »

Do you know if the car Albon was driving in Japan, the same one he wrecked in Australia?

Critterman · « **Reply #4064 on:** April 16, 2024, 06:57:50 PM »

I don't think it was, they said during the broadcast but I don't remember for sure. I do remember the one wrecked was the same one that was wrecked before.

elff · « **Reply #4065 on:** April 20, 2024, 06:32:08 PM »

So far only 1 Williams
That was a heck of a battle for 2nd place in qualifying. Sprint was pretty exciting as well. Some people really got their elbows out in some turns.

elff · « **Reply #4066 on:** April 21, 2024, 11:59:16 AM »

Watching now

Sargeant is starting from the pits.
I dont recall seeing him in the Sprint or qualifying

Critterman · « **Reply #4067 on:** April 22, 2024, 03:59:27 PM »

You didn't look far enough down the order

The actual race was kind of a let down except for the safety car restarts. I feel for Riccardo he got screwed by Stroll. Miami is a sprint weekend as well.

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #4068 on:** April 29, 2024, 11:03:58 AM »

Watched it and well....

Do you think Miami is going to have the 30 min driver intro this year or did they decide to give up that crap?

Critterman · « **Reply #4069 on:** April 29, 2024, 04:43:47 PM »

Lets hope not, bad enough it is a sprint weekend.

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #4070 on:** April 29, 2024, 08:04:36 PM »

Nothing like watching a parking lot race with fake boats and water. You would think they could find some place in Florida that actually had a real marina.

Critterman · « **Reply #4071 on:** May 05, 2024, 05:46:41 PM »

Max DID NOT WIN Miami

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #4072 on:** May 13, 2024, 12:50:33 AM »

Watched it this evening, I could get used to more races like that.

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #4073 on:** May 15, 2024, 09:40:13 PM »

Emilia Romagna GP this weekend.

Critterman · « **Reply #4074 on:** May 20, 2024, 05:06:03 PM »

Italy was good as well except for the winner. Second place was lest than 1 second behind. McLaren and Ferrari are making great strides. Hell Hukenburg was in Q3

FWI - Formula 1 is releasing a 24/7 free streaming channel in the US. It will feature F1, F2, F3, and F3, not sure what all you can watch or when it will be available.
