Poll: Official 2024 Belgian Grand Prix Race Thread - Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps - Race 14/24

Man, it was refreshing to see Ocon pass a team mate without crashing and taking one (or both) cars out the race. Maybe he's a real talent?

 

[Mr Jack]

Not a fan of special liveries that make the cars look like a different team.

I've saw a lot of complaints about the new regulations coming in, and I do absolutely hate the new proposed regs. BUT. If there was a competent governing body, and they made decisions based on good racing, rather than some "green" feel-good nonsense, then they absolutely are needed.
These cars still aren't following each other that well, and DRS is the main way to pass.
We need better cars. These things are giant, and awful.

bring back a second tyre manufacturer for a tyre war, or the teams chose before the season which manufacturer they want for the first half then the second half so both tyres are used by all but not all on the same track
stop with the soft/med/hard each race and actually use ultra soft, soft, med hard maybe an ultra hard
make the compounds actually give a pit strategy go 3 stop us-soft-hard vs 2 stop med-ultra hard but allow the driver to actually lean on the tyres and race rather than have a 1 stop tyre saving race.
make the cars smaller again and not by 10cm really reduce the overall footprint to give more track space for fights

Perez is actually allowing Lando to gain on Max here

 

[Stu999]

Red Bull should just dump Perez behind Russell and Max. It’s knacking Max’s race.

Yeah, the mediocrity is causing real headaches here.

Plus he’s going to get the “max is faster than you, can you confirm” when max gets past Russell anyway. Lol

 

[Feek]

Perez to let George and Max past so that Max can get into DRS range of George while he (George) doesn’t have DRS?

 

[Flibster]

Now let's see how long Perez remains in front of Verstappen...

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

As a frequent armchair observer... I frequently don't understand the strategies many if these teams spend so much time and money on. I can't remember the last time I saw anyone go long on tyres and it worked out.

 

[Flibster]

Awwww... chickens! Boxed Perez instead.

 

[el_dazza]

Was that a 'get out of the ******* way' pit stop

 

[Flibster]

Half race distance to go for Perez on a single set of hard tyres.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Awwww... chickens! Boxed Perez instead.

Why open themselves up to the headaches when they can "cover Russell"?

 

[Flibster]

Perez radio - We are very slow on the straights

Getting the excuses in now.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

"We are very slow on the straights"
:'D
Perez only just waking up to why he was fast I quali yesterday.

 

[Stu999]

Well, they still left it way too late for Max. Norris has caught him now.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Perez’s last race for RB currently underway.

 

[Jimbeam3678]

Norris Max could be get tasty here.

 

[Flibster]

Verstappen radio - Front tyres are not really working.

Pit - Yup. As I said, diff is available Max.
