G30M · 04-13-2025, 11:41 AM

Russell does half the race on used softs but he will likely get a penalty for DRS infringement

Looks like papaya will be 1 & 2 and Charles...3rd..

Also Ocon?! Good so far for Haas

RUS will be doing those wheelies again in W London...if he holds onto 2nd place

GuidoK · 04-13-2025, 11:43 AM

What an interesting race.
For sure Oscar made 0.0 mistakes so a very deserved win.
And RUS/NOR?
Is RUS gonna get that penalty. In that case he falls back behind LEC I believe.
And Max managed to pass GAS on the finish line. What a bad weekend for him/RB

And a worthy checkerd flag waver (old Ferrari boss for years)

And AMR...if one team needs Newey....it's them

1- Piastri (congrats)!

2- Rus
3- Nor
4- Charlie
5- Lew
6- Max
7- Gas
8- Ocon
9- Yuki
10 - Bearman

Yuki scored his first WDC points in the terrible RB21. Great job !

Fantastic last gasp move by MAX to bag 8 badly needed points to stay in touch with NOR.

Congrats to Oscar.. great race - *Max-like race for him. Out front/cruise control.

Next weekend at Jeddah it will be very hot too ...

That means the same 5H1T in the Frankenstein car again (!)

Hopefully they can fix the pit 'GO lights . That's actually a beginners issue !
As MAX said : It's RIDICULOUS !!!

Brake failure in free practice , qualifying and race ...Imagine (!)

He'd probably be better off with my old well worn brake pads which I still have

Yeah I fear the worst.

Interesting that Mercedes now seem to have a car with a good operating window. The main thing they've been missing for the last 3 years.
The speed still isn't there yet compared to McLaren, but everything else seems to be pretty consistent.
ANT still has some rookie mistakes, but he's fast.

Papaya rules (!)

Rono63 · 04-13-2025, 12:36 PM

Congratulations to Oscar. A Flawless performance.

Papaya #1 WCC. 1 and 2 in the WDC.

May change as other teams bring updates but I’m hoping they will competitive though the year.

Great racing between Charles and Lando.

Looks like the 1 car wasn't allowed to be fixed in park ferme, Marko was saying they knew what it was which likely involved stripping the whole system down I'm guessing. Well they have one week to replace the whole brake system and at least there are no penalties imposed for doing this afaik and to sort those silly green lights out.

She can't do much forming a strat for a wayward car and those new hards he had were not good at all.

In a way was good for MAX that LAN slipped up there and glad it did as 15 instead of 25 points for him is good for MAX to keep him in check.

As I said : Nothing works - nothing is good !

The RB21 just s@cks and far beyond our imagination (!)

The Red Bull clock is ticking , but probably It's already too late .
Jeddah will be the next Red Bull disaster ...

To be fair MAX did say it should be better for the 21's at Jeddah with the fast nature of the track, I won't stick my neck out for a win for MAX as I'm only thinking of those coming big upgrades.

Well...Red Bull got the FIA permission to fix MAX's brakes in park ferme (!)
And that's what they did . But let's say : An attempt to...

What a RB mess , as we know MAX still got the whole race brake issues (!)

Red Bull worked on MAX's brakes in park ferme . The Dutch article => https://www.f1maximaal.nl/formule-1/...a-geeft-update

Things are going from bad to worse with the RB21 Frankenstein car ..
Ohhhh...Man . What a shame (!)
No wonder that MAX said It's just : 'Ridiculous

Pierre Waché is a French S@cker (!)
