Re: 2023 Season Grand Prix Megathread

@mariohomohmaybe it’s a shield. Not that it’s hiding anything worth copying 😇

What the biscuit happened to Shuntles LeCrash!!! Well I got it well wrong 😂

craziest qualifying, they set Equal Performance 😬

LANDOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

@mariohomoh  Who’s team? Who’s team?😝

Lando’s Team!!!!!

RB's definitely cosplaying Merc of the 2020 season. 😈

Woo hooo 1000 posts.   MEGA   Great going guys 

Well done to the one person who voted Verstappen.  Id like to say who but this guy forgot to enable the show name option when setting up the poll 😂

Interesting Qualifying session with some random drivers in random spots!

Leclerc and Perez out before Q3? Crazy. I find it funny that they both found it "unbelievable" on the radio.

Russell and Hamilton crash? Nando Lorris in P2? Strange one really. If we exclude the pole sitter, that was pretty intriguing.

However, Rosberg as a pundit needs chucking. Hamilton left it late to come out for practice 3 date to the changing conditions. Rosberg and the sky team were slating Hamilton, asking the media guy to tell Hamilton to get out on the track. One lap later Verstappen out on damp track pipes up on the radio that he didn't want to push it it in the bad conditions, with his race eingeer saying everybody else on track is pushing. Verstappen 's curt response with an expletive was that he'd didn't care what everybody else is doing as it wasn't safe.

Rosberg's response ; plaudits to Verstappen, give the man the title, what a strong driver. 🙄

Ok mate. I wish we had better coverage than Sky.

I like C4 coverage cause it’s free and I don’t have to watch a whole boring race 😁

Hah, I'm chuffed seeing Nando Lorris up there! I don't think he'll get a podium but great to see.

If it wasn't for Steve Jones, I'd watch it. I don't mind DC. But Rosberg is ridiculous. I don't mind people having a bias but that guy is something else 😂 He stated that Hamilton needs to apologise to Russell because if the collision hadn't of happened, Lewis would have gone on to ruin George's lap. So he wants someone to apologise for something that factually didn't happen and was a hypothetical outcome? Even Schiff was doing my head in by asking Gunther questions he had just previously just said he couldn't answer.

@P4st3l1akThat just must mean heir highlight package consists of the first two laps of each race and nothing else? 😜

Think I'll have to switch over, Sky think they're high-brow and in the know, although I think I'll miss... absolutely nobody.

Maybe Ted a bit.

Interestingly, Sky had Horner on more than anybody last year

@TotosHeadphonesyou're on fire, pal 😉
I mean comments from Alex, Steve, Mark and DC are much better than Brundle and co.

I also watch my national broadcast, they have good commentators and they can make fun even out of boring race.

If you don't mind me asking, where are you from?

@mariohomohHave a look here;

There was plenty of talk of how the Red Bull underfloor is intricate and complex and with the Ferrari and Mercedes not being close. However, the Williams appears to be very basic. Not meaning to disparage Williams as they probably don't have the same level technical staff and obviously less funding, but you have to give it to Albon if he's driving a car which doesn't produce a comparatively good level of ground effect

@TotosHeadphonesDiscovering RB more and more, i start to lose my hope that Ferrari will bounce back. Till Ferrari and Mercedes try to figure it out and understand how the RB is working, DRS, floor, RB already is improving from there and they are a step ahead. Probably they make the gap lower to RB till the end of 2025 but i think all the championships are going to RB till new regulations.

@TotosHeadphonesOne got to really wonder how Williams are even near other with such a basic floor i would rather expect similar results as 2019 with this so hats off to them for being fairly good in the other aspects of the car.. Also no with some good pictures they should at least get somewhat closer to a competitive floor, at least get better ideas on what to try out in their simulations..

@HempyjrI wouldnt be so sure that it will keep till 2025 like that.. Red Bulls biggest "weakness" is mechanical grip and tyre temps being low, the latter being a big positive on hot days and races but - if they are still going to - next year they are gonna reduce the tyre blanket temps even more making it more difficult for teams with low heating (Red Bull) it would be a great task to either change their suspension to still give them their stable floor downforce but heat up the tyres more or deal with it on cold tyres in qualifying.. They would still be hard to beat in the races but starting lower down the field and struggling with every pitstop would definitely be more interesting races than we got now

BTW the weather of this year (IRL) is copying the game! Quick showers and equally quick drying out 🥳
