Poll: Official 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix Thread - Corniche Circuit, Jeddah - Round 2

Don't think a 5 second penalty will make any difference to Perez

 

[KiNgPiN83]

Ricciardo proving once more that he's the wrong driver for that seat.

It’s so weird. He was never this cack when he was at Red Bull and if anything kept Max reasonably honest. I don’t think his heart is in F1 anymore. (Or the Red Bull was just deeply flattering him.. lol!)

Everyone else improved, Ricciardo didn't.

Don't think a 5 second penalty will make any difference to Perez

It’ll mean he’ll be 25 seconds behind max rather than 20. Haha!

Wait... those are e-ink panels on the McLaren.

Horrific race for Magnussen.

 

[Stumble Bum]

I'm glad penalties are 10 secs rather than the pointless 5 seconds.

 

[Flibster]

Are they trying to get Norris and Hamilton to finish n the soft tyre? Neither have a new set of them.

That McLaren does not seem that much faster even with DRS on the straights.

 

[Stu999]

McLaren looks slower than the Merc in a straight line even with DRS.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Dunno why everyone thought the second coming was returning last year when he came back, he was bang average at Renault and trash at Mclaren yet a year out of F1 and all of a sudden he was gonna be the man?!

Not sure if his heart isn't in it or he can't drive these cars but he hasn't been any good for a long long time now. Could have probably had Lawson in the car for half the price and got better results.

 

[Flibster]

Piastri pit radio - Oscar, we see Hamilton moving under braking there, it was almost an accident there. We're reporting it.

Could become the Germany situation?

They're going to drive to Poland?
