Hey there,
2023 season has ended and we are approaching season 2024. @ScarDuck14 has already opened a new thread regarding the new season.
See you there!

@Meza994 @Cpayne32 @ScarDuck14 this I can see happening.
Although Max/ Red Bull have got the season pretty much wrapped up and know all they need to do to secure it is not “wipe out” in races from now on, it does feel like Max and Red Bull have an axe to grind with Lewis and Mercedes respectively, and vice versa. Will they keep it clean with their most notorious adversaries? it will be interesting to see how this race unfolds for sure.
One thing is certain - it would be a great thing for another driver/ team to win a race on merit, and not just because Max/ Red Bull retired.
Interesting comments from Hamilton; he's insinuating that Red Bull have had to stop doing something with their DRS recently, nudging that the media should look into 🤔 I may be wrong but even still the DRS shouldn't have that influence on this track layout?
Anyway, good to see another team instead of Red Bull on pole. Not sure if the race result will change but should be a good battle. Considering that Max has been poor from starts on occasions this season, it should provide a tasty first corner scrap. For all the good the Hamilton result was, Mercedes like playing with fire with qualifying and sending their cars out. Poor Russell, team decision was poor as the car was fast enough to get into the later sessions
@Meza994As much as Hamilton is the master of spin, this is quite the accusation. Additionally, with all the teams coming with upgrades and new floors and philosophies, there doesn't seem to be another team that has imitated the Red Bull DRS.
Admittedly, I can just about get my head around how the system works but all the other teams would likely know how to copy it and get it working on their respective cars? It must have been discussed internally by all teams, and what worth would it be to throw shade on RB unless they had some evidence? I just find it interesting. RB haven't been as dominant in the last few races. It could even be the new tyre construction but there were reports of the new sidepods bringing two tenths of time this weekend?
As you said @Meza994 there are plenty of variables, it's fun to speculate (maybe I'm hoping there is truth to it so we can get some proper fights at the front).
Every thread needs a good meme;
