Poll: Official 2024 Qatar Grand Prix Race Thread - Lusail International Circuit - Race 23/24

[Mr Jack]

Nice payback for Brazil from Norris. I wonder whether that was pre-planned?

 

[Mad_Jay]

Returning the favour for Brazil I guess.

Shows how much the drivers don't care about the sprint wins haha.

I don’t think George would have kept P2 if he’d have got past Piastri anyway. He never looked quicker.

 

[AlphariusOmegan]

can't wait to hear Russell interviews after that finish

What you think Norris had an issue on the last lap straight?

 

[muon]

He’ll probably enjoy some Coco Pops after that.

I reckon Ted knows something we don't

 

[AlphariusOmegan]

oooh Russell gave Norris (i think) massive side-eye after the race

Think he would have kept 2nd piastri was being saved by drs from Norris

 

[Mr Jack]

Interesting to hear Norris saying the team told him not to swap back.

Yeah his own decision, shows a good partnership.

Hoping Perez can get to P18 in this qualy. Would be a nice improvement for him.

Alex Jacques is commentating for F1TV at the track, he also commentated the F2 race with Alex Brundle who's at the F1TV studio back in the UK. The whole commentary was seemless, the tech and teamwork to make that happen blows my mind.

Hamilton radio - Why am I in strat 12?

Pit - We'll feed back to you in a sec. Strat 12 is good.

Hamilton - We're boxing right?

Pit - Affirm. Box box.

How much downforce have Aston Martin dialled out of their cars?

 

[Stu999]

They must have spent a fortune on all this gravel. It looks so smooth in some sections I thought it was tarmac still.

How much downforce have Aston Martin dialled out of their cars?

Well they did take it back to the configuration from close to the start of the year as the upgrades didn't seem to work.

No idea what the spec they're using is now. Maybe 2023's car?

 

[Flibster]

Perez has survived Q1?!
