OV9

Not a word I often associate with The Staph but respect.

I cannot imagine how nuts N24hr will be if/when Max enters.

He qualified 25 seconds faster than the next car in his category. And 15 seconds off P1 with 130hp less.
Look how much he loses out on the straight at the start

Everything crossed for a bit of rain right now for a Williams pole

Just needs one more red flag…

£52m payout for Horner. I bet he'll be crying all the way home, onto his bed made of money and onto his Spice Girl wife.

It’s a tough life

The gp was dull. Lots of promise but most of the race was just queue of cars following each other not being able to get past. Tough weekend for the maclaren team. Bit of a worry that Max isn’t really that far behind in the drivers championship.

On tracks like that is seems you just need to trim it out for traction and top speed and not worry too much about cornering speed because no one can get past anywhere but the long straight anyway.

Maybe that’s where maclaren are lacking a bit? Obviously the car is great, but they’re always going for a good all rounder which is decent everywhere rather than having a particular strength where maybe sometimes they need to make a more compromised setup and the drivers learn how to make it work.

Saw someone doing the maths that said max no longer needs a McLaren dnf to theoretically win th driver’s championship

Whole ground effect era has been a bit weird now that the cars are all closer to each other. Cars going from nowhere to winning almost a second a lap faster than everyone else. Hard to follow what’s going on really. Also everyone trimming the car out has really killed all the racing at the exciting fast tracks. Spa - shite. Monza - shite. Baku - shite.
