Poll: Official 2024 Qatar Grand Prix Race Thread - Lusail International Circuit - Race 23/24

[Kautya]

Absolute mess of a race. FIA need to put their hand up and accept they screwed up on this one.

Joke of a race.
Well done Max for somehow surviving that mess.

 

[Slam62]

Jensen thought that was a fantastic race, I thought it was a clown show.

 

[Hawk Tuah]

I wonder if any other drivers didn't lift in that mini sector.

I agree - FIA should apologise to Lewis and Carlos for the mess of that situation

 

[I_M_Weasel]

What a ridiculous way to run a race - did they think the mirror would walk off the track on its own?

 

[Kenai]

I hope they do a proper in depth analysis of the yellow flag situation with Norris, it's not like he closed up massively, so surely Max hasn't lifted much himself, otherwise Norris would have been right on his bumper.

All a bit of a nonsense if just lifting ever so slightly is enough to be deemed safe, in reality blasting past at 180mph or 200mph, neither are anywhere near being safe in terms of double yellows in reality (assuming it was double waved yellow, I think that was the conclusion).

 

[Slam62]

Oh look fireworks

 

[Stumble Bum]

Farcical race.

 

[Flibster]

Race control - UPDATE - Turn 14 incident involving Perez noted - Dangerous driving.

 

[Flibster]

FIA Stewards - Turn 14 incident involving Perez will be investigated after the race - Dangerous driving.

 

[GhostWKD]

Did I read somewhere Ocon been kicked out for next race? Heck of a penalty even for him

 

[ChrisD.]

Garry Connelly, Mathieu Remmerie, Derek Warwick and Amro Al Hamad

Ding ding ding ding ding!

Not surprised at all

 

[Flibster]

Zhou radio - Yes, I would say.... LETS ******* GO! Come on guys! Come on! Oh my god. What a race man, what a race.

Seems like it. Doohan in for the final race and Ocon booted out. Hopefully they release him from his contract fully and allow him to go to Haas immediately for the post season test.

Puzzled by why Haas even wanted him so many other drivers who are far better.

 

[englishpremier]

Bit of a farce again from the FIA/Stewards, but at least it made what was otherwise looking pretty dull, more interesting.

 

[Flibster]

Russell's 5 second penalty for the safety car infringement was for not following the delta apparently.

Isn't Stroll, has experience, is a race winner, probably doesn't cost a lot.

Yet Lando gets 10 sec and drive through it makes 0 sense.
