F1 The Wash Up - Previous 2024 Race Weekends

Haha and our first snippet of RUS team radio for the race and it doesn’t disappoint

He has reasons to bitch to be fair

 

[DamoESP]

So no mention from the stewards re: NOR not lifting under double yellows?

Not yet surely he gets a 5 or 10 sec penalty but who knows with the FIA

 

[DamoESP]

As chaotic as a race this has been, it’s still been a rather boring shit show

Not sure why McLaren pitted Piastri, when it was pretty clear a safety car was going to be called

MCL have proved all year they have a shit pitwall

They have FINALLY noted it, only took 20 minutes

 

[Gunf]

HAHAHA Lando

10 sec stop and go

 

[DamoESP]

Well a WCC title fight is still on the card it seems

Ferrari International Assistance to the rescue

FIA is so incompetent but he did **** up

I dont particularly like Lando, but that is tough.
Basically giving him a DSQ on grounds of safety, when the FIA were too chicken shit to call a safety car when they should have.

100% they should have called a VSC sooner but Lando not slowing was before they should have done one at the earliest so the penalty is 100% deserved but it should have been a 5 or 10 seconds penalty

Zhou DOTD let’s go!

 

[Gunf]

Zhou DOTD let’s go!

Hell yes

 

[Gunf]

Lec within striking distance of second
And Fer are within range of MCL for constructors

Yep agree
A penalty for Lando was needed, but not a 10 second stop go, particularly given it was applied after the safety car ended so they knew what the outcome of that penalty would be.

Couldn't watch, I take that Lando moved aside to let Oscar get the podium because he doesn't care about 3rd place?

 

[Gunf]

Ant on the skypad showing the difference between Max and Lando.

Lando had way more time to slow for the double yellows and didn't.

 

[Festerz]

 

[Gunf]

Interesting ... Did he have double yellows when he went passed though?

 

[Cromulant]

You think he will walk from F1, or just from Red Bull ?

Could be something like he takes a 2 year break, then comes back to Newey and Aston Martin once Alonso is ready to call it a day.

That would not surprise me in the slightest.

Not sure.

Ferrari are disputing. I'm just laughing at them having this out on their twitter feeds.

The yellows kept going on and off it was such a shit show who knows which drivers besides Max and Lando were actually shown double yellows.

 

[Gunf]

That would not surprise me in the slightest.

I could easily see Max quitting F1 to go do WEC or similar series and coming back a few years later.
You can clearly see it in his words and actions he is getting sick of the FIA bullshit.
