F1 The Wash Up - Previous 2024 Race Weekends

[Gak Attack]

Nice, Piastri not lapped.

Did we miss the Hamilton pass and Lando finishing lol

We had some oil money fireworks and oil money demands that's the shot!

I got both on Kayo, maybe people are watching something else.

Thanks for everything people, see you all in 2025.

Thanks to Lando's kindness Piastri officially completes every single lap of the season (1386), and with the 24 races has the record for most laps completed in a season

Only the fourth driver ever to complete 100% of laps in a season

Verstappen 2023
Hamilton 2019
Schumacher 2002

MBS right there to insert himself into the glory. ****head.

Also an odd fact

This is the first time McLaren have won the Constructors without winning the Drivers' Championship in the same season

Wouldn't happen that often at all that winning driver isn't from winning constructor surely?

Only the third time since 2000

The others being Mercedes in 2021 when Max won the title and Ferrari in 2008 when Lewis won the title

They're quick off the track too..

 

[juice t]

The last time Lewis can touch a Mercedes without getting a monster fine for several years

 

[Gak Attack]

Imagine the carry on when he retires.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Credit to Lewis for ditching the interview in favour of hanging out in the garage.

Also Gasly finished 10th in the Championship in a car that was the 9th-fastest for most of the season and dragged them kicking and screaming into 6th in the Constructors

Might just about be the drive of the year

Only driver of the four not to be the respective WDC of that year too.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Oscar has been completely MIA since the race ended.

Correct
And all four were in the Constructors' champion car of that year

 

[Eaglette01]

In the garage - loved it !!!! Wild Boys....

Carlos - 2nd - loved it too !!!

Goodbye 2024 - bring on 2025

Ted Kravitz is not quite correct that this is McLaren's first non-Ron Dennis Constructors' championship

1974 (When Teddy Mayer was the managing director) with Emerson Fittipaldi and Denny Hulme is the only other one

Dennis and Project Four didn't join until 1980

Ted is rarely right in general.

Shame for Piastri tonight, he did squeeze Max who was ALWAYS going to put his nose up the inside. 10 seconds was a bit harsh really.

Epic drive by Charles, and of course Lando

And well done to Jack for getting through his first race unscathed

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Don't know if I see him in a top team again

Will be in 2027 i reckon.

Nah - as the stewards found and Brundle agreed on watching the the playback - Max was totally at fault for causing the collision. The fact he does those late runs up the inside so often does not place the shift the blame away from him, especially on the first corner at the start of the race when the pack is so bunched up.

Could Oscar had gone wide and avoided any chance of contact? Sure, but that is not what you expect a driver sitting on P2 of the grid with the constructors championship on the line to do at the start of the race - there was plenty of room given for Max but he just barged through going wide as a result . No way Oscar gets any blame for that contact simply because he refused to be bullied out of the corner and wave Verstappen through.

Stewards notes on the penalty explains it best:

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Agree.I mean he's going to another team ffs.

 

[Jatz]

It'll be warranted when he retires.

I'm a massive Hamilton fan, I understand the end of an era thing but it should've been more for Mercedes than the rest of the world last night.

I think he still needed a penalty for sure, and I think Oscar did the right thing as well. There wasnt a whole heap between being far enough up and not, so 10 seconds is too much IMO. You're also right in mentioning the Constructors but drivers dont think about that. Every time they go out they want to do the best they can.

It might not seem like much but Oscar closing the door could very well be the first sign of just how ruthless this kid is. Max might not have said it in the heat of the moment, but he'll respect him more for doing what he did rather than opening the wheel and letting him in.

To me there isnt much in it, penalties are handed out like lollies at Christmas pageants now and its getting a bit ridiculous.
