Poll: Official 2023 Japanese Grand Prix Thread - Suzuka International - Round 17

[IPBA]

Easy to see why

Would you mind elaborating?

 

[Flibster]

So, Lawson in at Williams, making it the Red Bull Juniors 2 or in at Aston making Stroll's retirement to play Tennis happen whether he wants it or not?

 

[Psycho Ned]

Aston are just going back and back. That car was 2nd best at the start of the season probably about 6th now.

Behind the first team this has actually been one of the better seasons for mobility of teams going up and down the grid with development.

He nearly binned it in turn 9.

FIA Stewards - Incident involving Leclerc, Zhou and Bottas will be investigated after the session - Failing to follow race directors instructions - Maximum lap time

Well at least this qualifying confirms I don't need to wake up early tomorrow and I'll stay in bed for a lie-in instead

The Japanese fans who sit there in race suits and helmets....

Nutters.

Hmmm, might be sensible. I wonder what time the replay will be. Also I think there were massive delays / red flags last year.

Apparently full replay starts at 9:30am on Sky, just after Ted's Notebook.

Probably my favourite from what I've seen so far.

Think it was clear as early as FP1 that Max was too far ahead this weekend, unfortunately

 

[Stu999]

Mercs not having a good session. Nice to see the McLarens up there.

 

[SDK^]

Max in a league of his own here.
Half a second up on the whole field by sector 1

I thought the McLaren's would challenge P1 but even with all of the upgrades they are some way off

 

[Johnz0r]

Max is driving at a level that can only be appreciated - what a way to rectify last week... dear me!

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Immense lap from Max and another great performance from the McLarens.

Max suffering from mechanical issues and a McLaren 1, 2 tomorrow would be nice.

 

[reef]

Perez should be embarrassed with that. P5 and 8 tenths off in that car. Max did an awesome lap, but P2 should have been a shoe in.

 

[azazl187]

Max pulled 5.5gs at one point. That's crazy! I've never been a fan but that was an incredible lap from him

Another weekend another Logan Sargent car to rebuild, I understand giving him until the end of the year but he looks out of his depth, will be surprised if he's there next season.

If you like Lego and F1, Williams is a great team to join while Sargent is there.
