Poll: Official 2023 Spanish Grand Prix Thread - Circuit de Catalunya, Barcelona - Round 8

[Flibster]

Thought that was the 20th Century Fox opening for a moment at the start there....

 

[Flibster]

And now Freddie and Montserrat. Much better.

 

[Flibster]

36°C Track temperature
23°C Air temperature
Risk of rain for F1 race is 40%

I thought he wasn't allowed at F1 events any more

He took his case to a real court of law rather than the FIA's kangaroo court, and won. It was found that Max Moseley had a vendetta against him and that the FIA court was biased.

 

[Personality+]

Some light rain and random times of the race please

 

[Flibster]

Let's see how Ferrari can stuff this one up. A Soft - soft - full Wet strategy?

Max had a vendetta against all of the teams. The $100 million fine - Max was quoted in a book as saying "$5 million for the offence and $95 million for Ron being a ****"

If its going to rain it needs to rain properly.

If its just moist they will all just mince about on inters for the race as they turn into 'slicktermediates'

What is our strategy?

'we are checking.. come back to you'

 

[Flibster]

Lots of soft tyres out there.

Verstappen, Perez and Sargeant on new mediums.
Leclerc on new hards

Remainder of the top 10 are on used softs, all others on new softs.

 

[el_dazza]

Lan-d'oh

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

FFS Lando

 

[Flibster]

Ocon radio - I did hit debris, turn 1, let me know

 

[Purdy]

Characteristically garbage from Sainz when he had a real chance to make something stick

 

[Flibster]

Turn 1 incident involving Russell noted - Leaving the track and gaining an advantage

 

[CSMonkeh]

Well this race is over, now

 

[Dr Jack]

Norris stuffed his best chance of the season so far there.

 

[Flibster]

But, he stayed in the lane required if he went off, if he could go faster than anyone on the track by going there, sounds like an FIA track design issue.

 

[el_dazza]

This is going to be a borefest unless the magic moisture from the sky appears.

 

[imtoooldforthis]

Oh what a surprise, no one is actually very close after all

Yeh I dunno why people get excited based on quali, the problem is and always has been the disparity in race trim.
