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

Just realised we're only just half way through, this better liven up a bit - spoiled by the first 12 laps!

Rain should be hitting fairly soon.

 

[Flibster]

I don't have a copy of the 2023 regulations here, but it sounds right.

That's for the full wet's obviously.

 

[Stu999]

LOL Logan.

I have the Sky feed on, incase Chinese TV cut to an advert. They sometimes do it halfway through.
Sky talking like there's a big mystery surrounding Red Bull pitting Verstappen before Perez... I know they want to pretend like there's drama, but it's pretty simple.

They will all be pressing Horner and Checo for a headline quote after the race. It's what Sky do best.

How is Albon still on his starting softs on lap 36? Guess he's now wanting to wait and see how the incoming rain is before his first stop.

Is Sargeant trying to gain the spirit of Alonso in that deckchair?

He was channeling Hakkinen earlier. Crying in the grass. I'd rather he stayed in that deck chair, than got back into the Williams seat.

 

[CSMonkeh]

Light rain in 5 minutes

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Baffled by Alfa Romeo pitting Zhou there.

Leclerc getting passed by Lawson..retire the car

 

[Flibster]

39 laps on the soft tyre?

More than 50% race distance ON THE SOFT?

 

[el_dazza]

Lawson passes Leclerc

 

[CSMonkeh]

Lawson on LeClerc…

New low for Ferrari

 

[dansew123]

Leclerc has got floor damage, not sure why sky dont know about it

 

[Flibster]

Finally... Leclerc retires.

 

[Psycho Ned]

At the very start of the regs Ferrari arguably had the best car, season and a half later you could easily argue they have the 5th best car! That is shocking development for a team of their resources.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Maybe Sky should focus on the actual race, than trying to make it another episode of drive to survive.

 

[UTmaniac]

In theory, would Albon be allowed to pit on to another set of softs for his only stop, because of the earlier rain?

 

[CSMonkeh]

Watch as they all jump back in pits - bunch of sheep

 

[Flibster]

At the very start of the regs Ferrari arguably had the best car, season and a half later you could easily argue they have the 5th best car! That is shocking development for a team of their resources.

And yet, still have the 10th best strategists.

 

[imtoooldforthis]

Merc and their passive strategy, they should have been undercutting Norris and Tsunoda
