Ferrari not being able to get around Merc at Jeddah is a pretty ominous sign for the rest of the year.

Piastri was excellent in Qualifying. Just had some bad luck with car damage.

As an aussie I am naturally following piastri.
Been impressed with his speed after 10 or so laps.
1st race was gaining places before the tractor gave up.
Last race he caught up to a group of 4 cars just before the yellow flag and mclaren kept him out and didn't even gain a place.
Naturally everyone on new rubber moved away from him while Norris was able to pass.
Aussies traditionally have been hard on tires but from the first 2 races Piastri gives me hope we have an aussie who can gain places on old rubber instead of going backwards halfway through a stint.

Merc has shite pace, but they do manage to finish just about every race. If they figure literally anything out, they’ll be trouble again.

Honestly, if in 2018 Horner hadn't screwed up and hired Perez, instead of hiring an available Alonzo, just to protect the fragile ego of Max, it would have been amazing fun to see the two Red Bulls fiercely competing against each other for points. Instead, Max is treated "special" and Perez's success is predicated on positioning Max to win.
His goal is to win championships. Having two drivers fueding with each other is a recipe for disaster, this has been documented time and time again. Especially with Alonso. Having a clear 1-2 is better to win championships, especially when your number 1 driver is a self motivated psychopath who doesn't need to be pushed. Max so how helpful Bottas was to Hamilton, its successful formula.

Also for these penalties, why don't they just let them execute the pit stop then start the time penalty? They hae the little red/green light thing anyway.

Or draw square boxes around each stall about 2 feet from car on all 4 sides and they can’t cross it with feet during the counting. Would be easier ro see for officials too.

For us old timers who've watched F1 going back to the late 80's; seeing both McLaren and Williams at the bottom of the table is something that still just doesn't compute. Even after watching them both methodically slide year after year, it just doesn't sit quite right.

A couple of awkward moments during the weekend telecasts.
Question to the Williams paddock started out with "with Frank Williams now dead". WTF?
Second, in Q1 one of the announcers was asked to take us through a lap and it was "uh, uh, uh..." I ithink it was Damon but I could be wrong.

I read all this in the voice of Steve Irwin.
Are you Brad Wing?

The guy who asked the questions to the top 3 after was the worst. It was like he was just wanting to start drama. His first or second question to Checco was about Max getting the fastest lap in the end so Max is leading the cup and not him. Then he said the same thing to Max trying to bait him into a answer that might stir the pot. With Checco and Alonso he talked about how they both had sweat on their brow so it must have been a tough race. I'm like you get three questions with each guy and this is the stuff you're talking about.

All the media people ask the same questions different ways hoping for a sound bite so they can stir shite with headlines.
Teammates answer a question the 'right way' 19 times, but the 20th they don't have enough inflection and that is the headline.

Could you imagine a Senna in today's F1. We couldn't handle what Mazepin did when leaving F2.
Posted on 3/20/23 at 6:25 pm to fightin tigers
But Senna was a great driver. Mazespin? Not so much.
