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

[.:MBK:.]

well, that was fun, normal service is resumed I guess now.

Lol Checo still doesn't realise where he is in the RBR pecking order does he? I.e. lower than a snakes belly.

 

[chrismscotland]

Karun just said it. They used that strategic decision to swap their drivers. Let’s see what Horner says.

Edit: Perez radio lol. He’s being taken for a fool. What a horrible team RB are.

He's the 2nd driver - he should get over it

 

[Tigget]

Well they just ****ed Perez by letting Max undercut him for softs. You telling me Perez wanted to stay out? Teammate in front normally gets priority for strategy.

I know it’s hard for you to accept but Max is significantly faster than Perez, strategy doesn’t matter, if they are 1-2 and close enough to pass only one driver is going to win. 1 is a generational talent, the other is an average driver in a fast car.

Honestly, makes sense from a Team point of view.

 

[Kenai]

Red Bull have timed their stops brilliantly really - used Perez as the guinea pig and have managed to navigate the whole scenario and get Max back in the lead in a situation where you often see the 'gamblers' take advantage with brave calls.

He's in exactly the same place the the pecking order that a second driver normally is

 

[el_dazza]

That looked fairly steady rain just then.

 

[UTmaniac]

Raining again.

 

[Mr Jack]

Max oddly slow.

 

[chrismscotland]

That looked a bit dangerous from Tsunoda

I know Max is significantly faster than Perez. Why do RB need to so obviously screw over their other driver at every given opportunity? They could have let them race or at least have Max make an overtake.

That’s my point, it’s totally unnecessary to screw Perez at that point in time. It’s almost vindictive.

 

[CSMonkeh]

Safety car surely with Sargeant?

 

[el_dazza]

Sargeant binned it

Oh, I had Williams to be the first retirement at 7/1. Woo

 

[Hodders]

Please please could Max end up beached in the kitty litter in-front of a huge grandstand!

 

[Mr Jack]

Terrible SC timing for Piastri.

 

[Psycho Ned]

He's in exactly the same place the the pecking order that a second driver normally is

Oh for sure, and it's irrelevant anyway as Max would have beat him sooner than later.

Just funny how he acts like how was Max allowed to have the jump on him in the pits! You get done over every week mate haven't you got it by now?!

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Get Sargeant out of that seat. He is utterly trash.

Edit: Time to get Devries on the phone.

 

[chrismscotland]

Sargeant not doing much to prolong his F1 career

 

[Stu999]

Yeah, they would have done team orders anyway so Max equals the wins record and extends his drivers championship lead.

Have they showed a replay of the dodgy pass on Ocon?

This is true
