Is Max taking orders for a McDonalds stop yet?

 

[antijoke]

Did you miss 2022? They didn't have them last year

Nope, I thought they had at least tiny ones last year

Wispa McFlurry on lap 12

Re dull just driving off

 

[Flibster]

Hulkenberg pit radio - How does the car feel Nico?

Hulkenberg - Pace is high. Sliding more than I would like.

Pit - Copy that. We're looking at a few things. Just try to get into a rhythm and we'll try to help you.

KMag on the hard tyres seems an odd choice. Is that an error on the timing tree? I thought comms said everyone was on softs.

Great to see the Williams in mid-table.

Re dull just driving off

Yeah another yawn fest of a season. When Netflix has more drama than the actual sport you knows something is not right.

 

[imtoooldforthis]

Meh, already got bad vibes for this season after the first few laps.

Maybe in 20 years time the sport might fluke a close title battle like 2020

 

[Stumble Bum]

Bit of a Trulli train at the moment.

 

[chrismscotland]

I think people forget that neither Red Bull finished last year, its only lap 8 for Christ sake

 

[Flibster]

Sargeant getting close to passing Norris. That'd put both Williams ahead of both McLarens

 

[Junglist]

As a Hamilton fan I thoroughly enjoyed 2014-2021 but now the shoe is on the other foot I apologise to everyone who told me it was boring and I didn't listen

 

[UTmaniac]

Looks like we're heavily relying on Max needing to pit before others. Alonso getting closer to DRS gap to Russell...

 

[Trusty]

I think people forget that neither Red Bull finished last year, its only lap 8 for Christ sake

I think some people have some false memories of F1. It's always been this boring

 

[Flibster]

Hulkenberg radio - We cannot just hang in here. Not much going on. So don't know if you want to think about plan B

Pit - Yeah. Copy that. We looking at it.

Hulkenberg - Deg feels quite high at rear and front as well.
