Prancing horse 1-2!!!!

Well done Oscar - bravo lad!

Danny Ric might be time to try Sportscar or Indy racing

“I think Ericsson hit us!” - George Russell, probably

A popular winner.

Also sends a bit of a message to Ferrari - and future employers.

Hopefully can go towards landing Sainz a better seat next year. * all the other names, get him in to that Red Bull seat.

 

[Acinath]

What a difference a year makes, Sainz 2024 Aus GP could not be more different to his 2023

 

[Broken]

Really happy for Sainz Jr. Hopefully he gets a good seat next year... Perez' seat for the ex Toro Rosso Sainz would be nice.

Without Max the races would be exciting…that was boring as bat s**t.

Double points for Haas with Russell's crash

I would like to see it on less of a high speed track.

I like the guy but guenther as a ******* interviewer?

Haha yeah like I said earlier, ironic that for the first time in years it looked like we might have actually had a legit race on our hands with Max and his brakes decided to explode

Toto and Helmut should be starting a bidding war for Sainz.

He's more consistent that Charles who I feel is a bit overrated.

He'd be a leading contender - surely he'd take it if offered?

Yeah drivers can barely understand him

As long as the money is comparable he would be crazy not to, although maybe with the talk that adrian newey will be leaving the seat may not be AS attractive?

Leclerc is purely retaining the spot because he's younger. However, there was a clear gap between them before this year but this seems like a new Carlos (inb4 appendix jokes) and it may simply be due to him being forced out because Hamilton wanted a change. Determination to prove himself to his doubters.

I never doubted him in his career.

Depends on how much they can sell him on the Ford 2026 engine.
Next year, absolutely its the best seat on the grid. Beyond that though ?

 

[gaskin]

I think Charles is the more consistent driver but Carlos's best seems to be better than LeClerc's best.

Wait up, that’s not the Dutch national anthem!

Thoughts on DR's race? Started 18th, finished 12th. Helped by the retirements of Verstappen, Hamilton & Russell, all of whom were ahead of him. Also helped by the Saubers needing to spend 30 minutes every time they pit, due to cross-threading wheel nuts.

I'd argue that his race day was considerably better than qualifying. May have finished higher if qualifying hadn't been such a disaster. Still not good enough though.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Leclerc has won more (albeit 5 wins to Sainz' 3). it's 2-1 in the standings since they've been teammates, and Leclerc has finished 2nd one time, threatening to be a challenger. Sainz' best is 5th.

 

[DamoESP]

Read ALO under investigation for brake checking Russell on that corner??

 

[Barrybran]

Probably because he wasn't swearing

It’s the national anthem of MotoGP

He was very slow into that corner
