Poll: Official 2023 Dutch Grand Prix Thread - Circuit Zandvoort - Round 14

In theory, would Albon be allowed to pit on to another set of softs for his only stop, because of the earlier rain?

No because he didn’t put Inters on

So he does need to use another compound

Need to use at least 2 compounds, so unfortunately not

And yet, still have the 10th best strategists.

11th. For once the internet armchair strategists are actually better at the job.

Maybe Sky should focus on the actual race, than trying to make it another episode of drive to survive.

Sky serve their customers interest, who were denied a battle for P1. Battles for race wins are what people watch F1 for, that’s kinda obvious right?

 

[CSMonkeh]

Lol Sainz makes the move on Tsunoda looking very easy

I watch F1 for any action that happens on the track. If you've watched F1 for longer than a few years, it shouldn't be wildly surprising to see the same team win each race.
Every race thread you have the same chip on the shoulder.

 

[el_dazza]

Sigh, where's this rain

 

[Flibster]

Oops Aston.

15 minutes now….

 

[booyaka]

Sigh, where's this rain

yeah - you take the rain out of this race at the start, and it's a nothing race really.

It's certainly mixed things up nicely for some decent mid pack racing but it's a bit sad that mother nature has to intervene to spice up F1 these days.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Alonso not giving up on this podium.

it's the same for quite a few people it seems, they watch for their driver to win anything else and it's a snoozefest. I enjoy all the racing for the technical side, the skill of all the drivers. I get enjoyment from the midfield battles and the almost overtakes

 

[Flibster]

Looks like Tsunoda understeered into Russell and took a chunk off his front wing.

 

[bayo000]

Was there a touch between George and Yuki?

According to sky it was an easy overtake. They completely missed it when they showed the replay.

Yes.

Yeah, you can read between the lines. "My guy isn't winning, it's a terrible race."

I'm happy to see Alonso doing well. I was happy to have some faith that Zhou could keep it in the points. There's usually something to see.
I used to support Minardi ffs, no hope of them winning.

 

[Stu999]

Dunno how Sky comms missed the Russell / Tsunoda contact there.

 

[CSMonkeh]

Brazil 2008 anybody?

 

[el_dazza]

Red Bull reckon heavy rain in 8 laps time or so.. please happen.
