Poll: Official 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Race Thread - Yas Marina Circuit - Race 24/24 - We finally made it folks!

No, but you often see RBR have Perez pit from say 11th to take fastest lap, so someone else can't have it

Does Perez have the skills to effectively do this task?

 

[SpartaP]

Maybe Russell can add some pressure on to Charles !

 

[Journey]

Hamilton could end up 3rd still if Charles has to stop.

 

[Psycho Ned]

New undercrackers needed for Piastri.

 

[Flibster]

As long as the Ferraris stay P2/P3, if Leclerc has to pit because he's on ancient tyres then pressure is off a bit

That'll drop Leclerc to maybe P6...

Haha, that Leclerc radio. I always get the impression he doesn’t like his engineer.

Surely Ferrari pit Sainz for softs or something and absolutely go for it, what have they got to lose?

 

[SpartaP]

Great move Piastri!

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Guess I’d just not been paying attention to him but how is Albon in the points? Needs to stop again?
It’d be nice if Williams got something from this race, they’ve had some god awful luck lately.

SC is what they want, ala Abu Dhabi 2021.

What happened in that race?

Latifi, emergency helicoptering in.

 

[Scam]

Does Piastri have damage? He struggled to get past Yuki. /missed first 27 laps

Surely Russell wouldn’t be asked to move over for Lewis would he? Seems unnecessary.

 

[Kenai]

Imagine the conspiracies if a Ferrari engined Haas causes a late SC

 

[booyaka]

Anyone seen Michael Massi today??

Could do with something wild here

 

[RavenXXX2]

Alonso going to take out oscar for safety car......

Slight nibble on the nose from hitting Colapinto. May have some floor damage from Verstappen too.
