F1 The Wash Up - Previous 2024 Race Weekends

[Bradesmaen]

Good race by Sargent there in 12th

 

[ReidBetweenTheLines]

25 second penalty total for Mag lol

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Drive through penalty, lol.

 

[gaskin]

Awesome result for Daniel.

Lol at Ham getting a drive through penalty.

 

[99 Problems]

Brilliant from Danny Ric. Hard to believe he held off the Ferrari and McLaren. To be fair big from Tsunoda too to end up in the points.

Think qualifying and strategy will be the key for the race for most of the midfield going off that. Lots of close racing but cars struggling to overtake. Was a real bunch from Ric right through to 10th or so.

Not really. It was really from 8th down. Oscar was about 5 seconds ahead of Hulk and he had another 3-4 seconds IIRC on 8th.

You’re right. Not sure why but thought the gap from Oscar to the next group wasn’t as big as it was.

So happy for Danny Ric, will do wonders for his confidence. Fingers crossed he can back it up in a few hours.

He has a 3 place grid penalty so he needs to have a cracking quali again to make it easier on himself in the race.

 

[Festerz]

While it was all smiles for RIC with his superb drive in holding Sainz at bay and getting 4th in the sprint race, things were not as cheery with his RB team-mate.

Tsunoda went from a lowly 15th on the grid to scoring a point in the Spint race which would seem like a good result on paper but Yuki was very glum speaking to Sky after the race. Was very harsh on himself losing a place on the track to Lewis in that last lap even though he got the place back with Hamilton's penalty for speeding in the pit lane.

Apols for the ww2 sequitur but gotta say I loved the way Magnussen was completely honest about his kamikaze-like contest with Hamilton and admitted that getting 3 penalties for the race (totalling 25 seconds) in the process was 'well deserved'. Edit: Got summoned to the stewards for unsportsmanlike behaviour too. All of this over one solitary point that in the end neither he nor Hamilton got anyway.

Hamilton (and Stroll) VERY lucky not to get penalised for driving into other cars at the start. Maybe that's why Hamilton said he wasn't 'pissed off' at MAG's driving.

Good spicy stuff and great to watch.

Reckon this will be the best sprint race of the year.

From chocolates to boiled lollies In a matter of hours. Damn.

Narrator: he didn’t

 

[Skull Face]

Dunno who to really blame. Want to blame Stroll but Alonso needs to take a bit of blame.

McLaren will be pissed if Lando has damaged to thr new parts.

Pretty obvious who to blame, the last guy to arrive who dived in there and made it 4 wide.

Should have been a slam dunk penalty to Hamilton not that it ended up mattering

 

[No Quarter]

Geez what a let down in Q1 by DR. What gives?

Surprised the commentary team didn't call this out more but Magnussen virtually guaranteed that Hulkenberg finished with two points. If he hadn't have driven like he did, Hamilton would have gotten past both of them and Haas would have finished with 1 point at best. What looked like selfish, unsportsmanlike driving was actually some brilliant teamwork by the Dane.

I don't know how to describe how I feel about KMag to tell you the truth. He drives like an arsehole but he does a really good job of driving like an arsehole so you've got to give him some respect.

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

Not a lot of changes in fortune for the teams that decided to bring upgrades to Miami. McLaren, Mercedes and Aston all came to Miami with upgrade packages, McLaren with an extensive change to Nando's car that seems to start with a front wing change and alter the airflow across the whole car, Mercedes and AM with less extensive updates but still quite significant.

Aston struggled in the sprint and couldn't make it out of Q2. Mercedes fared no better in the sprint and were miles off in Q3. McLaren showed good pace at the start of the weekend which did not translate into the sprint race or qualifying where they're still behind Ferrari. Wonder if the upgrades that the teams have brought are more suitable to tracks in the European part of calendar rather than the high deg Miami circuit.

Geez what a let down in Q1 by DR. What gives?

No grip from the rear in the corners from the second set of softs.

Anthony Davidson showed footage of the lap and how it was sliding all over the place in his hot lap, saying Ricciardo’s RB looked like a “rally car” without enough traction to hold the rear around corners.

In his interview after Q1 DR said

“The first set was fine we were obviously chipping away at it. We were in a decent spot obviously to progress through. And the second set… we started sliding out of Turn 1 and then it got worse through the lap.

“I don’t think it’s the car. The car’s fine. It was just a set of soft tyres that didn’t feel like they were soft tyres.”

“This is the sport. Obviously I’m frustrated (at starting last), but it’s not like we got something really wrong.

“Hopefully we understand why. Everything looked fine with that. But, you know what you feel. You know the grip you feel and it simply isn’t the same as that first set. It doesn’t change the fact we’re going to start last.”

 

[gaskin]

I just watched his post-quali interview and he said even coming out of the final turn to begin the lap he was sliding around and it happened all lap.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

He's just got to keep his head up. If that sprint race form is legit, then it's only a matter of time before converting it to the big races.

Been away all weekend and just watching the Sprint race now…. How the hell did HAM get away with no penalty for steaming into T1 like a bowling ball? What a joke.
