Poll: Official 2025 United States Grand Prix Race Thread - Circuit of the Americas - Race 19/24

[Stumble Bum]

Exactly what Russell did to Verstappen, except Verstappen evaded it whereas Ocon did not and Russell is praised for his aggression.

Stroll was a mile back making a move that was never ever on, no comparison to Russell's move whatsoever.

Surprised that there's steel on the edge of the floor where they were grinding at that AM.

F1 TV interviewing the local fans in the stand, apparently Russell is going to win the Tournament this year and Fernando is going to win tomorrow as he always has a trick up his sleeve

 

[Penfold101]

Fernando is going to win tomorrow as he always has a trick up his sleeve

Pull out the second amendment and claim self defence from Stroll trying to do a Stroll?

Hadjar in the barrier - red flag

 

[andy_mk3]

Gutted for him

 

[Dr Jack]

Oh dear, Hadjar. His season is quite the rollercoaster.

That reminded me of the classic Le Mans start.

Nothing...

Nothing...

Nothing...

CHAOS!

2 and a half minutes there going to be sitting there.

Piastri may have made the sensible decision not to go out and sit in the pit lane with the heatsoak, having to use battery to start the car, and tyres getting cold.

Not read back through the thread but i'm sure it's been mentioned (and IMO) the McLarens double DNF was Oscars fault for trying a big switchback move in the first corner,
I put the blame firmly on him... It's a shame really as i would have preferred him to win the WDC, but with moves like that he doesn't deserve it

I agree. Surprised he’s not getting more flack for it. It was a very stupid move — there was always going to be someone alongside him somewhere.

 

[andy_mk3]

Both McLaren's half a second off at the moment. They're going to want to find a bit of pace from somewhere.

 

[Flibster]

Very surprised that Sauber haven't tried to get a joint merch deal with The Simpsons...

License plates, key rings and so on with Bort printed on them.

 

[Flibster]

Oooof... that's going to annoy Albon.

From P8 dropped to P19.

 

[andy_mk3]

Yuki is not a fan of other cars on track in quali

 

[Scam]

Why do they have the graphic saying “session restart” time? That’s confusing. Shouldn’t it say “Q3 starts”

 

[andy_mk3]

I thought that too, it's not ideally worded.

 

[Scam]

Saw the halo saved Hamilton from what could have been a nasty incident with some carbon fibre on that lap one sprint incident https://www.facebook.com/share/17JAp8hnbe/?mibextid=wwXIfr

 

[andy_mk3]

Stunning lap from Max there.

 

[edGfaCTor]

Looks like Max has this easy.
