I have been watching 3Dbotmaker recently. Racing is far superior as is the commentry and banter between 2D and 3D (technically one guy running the channel). Puts F1 to shame.
 
Lol. Only watched 5 laps as alpine went out on lap 1.doesnt look like I missed anything!

Probably just watching qualifying now.

This isn't really worth paying for now

An absolute snooze fest once Max managed to get into the lead into T1. Feel sorry for Piastri on the strategy call as it put him out of kilter but Norris seemed to have the legs on him today. Mercedes pace bizarre, seemed to be nowhere then all of a sudden once the fuel load came down they started really pushing on. Can't see anyone beating Max in Spa - barring mechanical failure I just can't see anyone beating him for the remainder of the season.

Looks as though the Alonso fairytale is starting to derail somewhat, feels like the rest of the pack have leapfrogged them by some margin.

It feels like Aston haven't had many upgrades since the start of the year, I also suspect they're now being disrupted by the move into the new factory mid-season
 
What a dismal race. Knew it was going to be crap as soon as Hamilton forgot to defend T1 and Verstappen was straight through.

Also, how tf did Perez get driver of the day? He struggled to P3, and very nearly ended up off the podium, in a car which was almost 2 seconds quicker than anything in the field - as proved by the 1 push lap RB let Max do to get fastest lap.

Ditch water again from F1, its no wonder they keep trying to add excitement in other ways. F1 vs Forumula E this year, and F1 has been a shadow of the later, lets move away from this dead end 'sport' with too many regulations to a new better 21st century racing series.

With the way things are going F.E is the way to go. The problem we’ve got is with D.T.S making it’s mark in the states, F1 has a bit of momentum behind it. Which in turn means money, support, sponsorship and what could be described as a new market. The biggest market at that.
 
Just seen the lap timings for everyone. Lewis' pit lap was 4 seconds slower than Norris' and it then he was a couple of seconds slower for a few laps and it took him 5 or 6 laps to start to equal Norris.

The Merc seems to have major issues with warming up tyres....and this was even on a mega hot day/track.

I think the Merc was as quick as the McLaren here, but lost so much time turning on the tyres. It's likely why Lewis got mugged at the start too.

They've had that issue for more than one season, the bonus is that the car tends to easier on their tyres.

You broke it :cry: https://www.skysports.com/watch/vid...pen-questions-lando-norris-after-trophy-smash
 
I seem to vote these these races completely opposite to the masses.

First lap was good, Max did well and made records, Lando did good, Perez made very good progress as well as Russell. Ferrari seemed to mess everything up again. Good start, good finish. But yes, boring middle. I'm sure there was a part where no-one was in DRS range at all!

I want to moan about Redbull being so dominant, but I never moaned when Hamilton was winning it all - so it is, what it is.
 
I'm a fairly recent f1 subscriber, so I come in here most races to try and get some insight to things I might miss out not understand as a noob.

What i get from these threads mostly is the same people every week.
Boring, pointless, more fun watching paint dry. Turned it off, fell asleep, going to stop watching and start watching xyz instead.

STOP WATCHING IT THEN!!!
