Poll: Official 2024 Chinese Grand Prix Race Thread - Shanghai International Circuit - Race 5/24

I bet their new investors are well pleased how it's going at the moment

Guess what happens when you sack people leading the team who have a combined near century of F1 experience?

Cool qualy. Cream seemed to rise to the top with the conditions. Interestingly I rate the top 4 qualifiers as the four best drivers on the grid at the moment (not in the same order though).

Shame that if it's dry Max will be leading after a few laps anyway.

Said before as a disgruntled fan I'm glad the management are reaping what they've sowed here. Genuinely wouldn't care if Renault walked away.

Engine is terrible
Chasis is terrible
Senior management are absolute tools.

They deserve to be at the back

Morning for anyone awake to watch the sprint

Morning. I missed the start but I see it was pointless as usual lol

 

[spook2575]

Yep was hoping changeable weather conditions would’ve occured

 

[koolpc]

Good sprint race. Nice one Max..

 

[Garido]

Zhou did well given the car. Decent result for Lewis too but just not good enough today to hold Max back.

EDIT: Crowd seems to love Lewis.

 

[SpartaP]

They should just give Max the championship, let him sit out so he can enjoy his sim racing, and then everyone else can enjoy F1

 

[LizardKing]

You've gotta appreciate greatness, that Red Bull partnered with Max and for all its annoyances of taking away any sort of question of who will win the race is a piece of engineering perfection.

 

[ci_newman]

Just caught the highlights and glad I didn't get up early for that. Ignoring Max there was barely a handful of overtakes in that race.

 

[Mr Jack]

Pity Norris went off early. Nice to see a fight at the front, and the battle for 3rd was fun. Better than many Sprints, I guess.

 

[Mr Jack]

Alonso given an (irrelevant) 10s penalty and 3 points for the incident with Sainz. Thought that was the other way round myself, but I guess I'd need to see it again.

Speak for yourself. I'm enjoying F1 a lot.
If you don't enjoy it why on earth are you still watching it!

 

[SpartaP]

Here we go, quali…. Bring the rain

 

[Mr Jack]

Quite the contrast to this morning for Lewis!

 

[Stumble Bum]

Lol Lewis in 18th place?

 

[SpartaP]

Oh dear, massive understeer in to the hairpin.

 

[Garido]

Hamilton failed to get out of Q3. No doubt he'll find an excuse but he really should've done better.

I'm really thinking that he has "left the room"
