Poll: Official 2024 Dutch Grand Prix Race Thread - Circuit Zandvoort - Race 15/24

[Flibster]

Piastri pit radio - At the race start Hamilton did 21 laps on a soft and he's just fitted a second soft now. Would you choose soft or medium at a safety car?

Piastri - I'd choose medium still

Pit - Copy

When tyre management kicks in for everyone, it always deflates the race somewhat.

 

[Flibster]

Russell 10s behind Perez and Hamilton 14s behind Perez now. Down from 22.

Last lap both Russell and Hamilton were 1.2s faster than him.

It was nice of the entire crowd coming dressed to support McLaren, didn't realise the Dutch were such big fans.

 

[Mesai]

Charles really should get DotD; no idea why people are voting for Norris.

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton pit radio - Happy with the sliding now, going to be close to catching Perez, maybe not enough at the moment.

 

[Flibster]

14 laps in on the soft tyre, Hamilton does another fastest lap.

It's been a real solid race for both Ferrari drivers today. Good to see.

 

[Flibster]

Norris asking what the fastest lap is.

 

[GravyMonster]

Piastri really needs to pass Leclerc. I don't know how he's managed his tyres so badly. I know it's not his strong suit, but this has been one of his worst races for it.

 

[uscool]

Piastri with fresher tires , come on

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Anyone NOT voting Sargeant for driver of the day needs to question if they are a real fan.
Do you know how difficult it's been for him to drive on the black stuff, rather than smash it into the wall?
One for the history books.

Russell pit radio - And George, Lewis has been given a target of 13.8. We can achieve similar.

Russell - Repeat

Pit - So Lewis has been given a laptime target of 13.8, he's done a 13.9 and been in traffic.

Russell - Repeat

Pit - So Lewis has been given a laptime target of 13.8, he's done a 13.9 and been in traffic.

What happened to Russell's race? He had that slow stop, then it just seemed to disappear from there. He looked good at the start.

 

[Flibster]

Race control - Zhou time 1:19.340 deleted - track limits turn 3 lap 64

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton pit radio - Perez 14.8. So he has found some pace. 9 seconds up the road.

 

[Stu999]

Dominant performance from Lando.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Dominant performance from Lando.

Absolutely. A terrible start, as is his speciality but got it back on track, and kept it.

 

[Flibster]

What happened to Russell's race? He had that slow stop, then it just seemed to disappear from there. He looked good at the start.

The hard tyre didn't work for him.

 

[GravyMonster]

Well done Lando. Good to see McLaren close the WCC gap too.
