F1 2023: Spanish GP - Barcelona (June 4)

EdM5 · 06-03-2023, 02:33 PM

Just a few thoughts after qualifying:

Championship – Max will probably take the crown very early in the season. He is in the prime of his career and Checo, under obvious pressure, makes too many mistakes.
Ferrari – Years of mismanagement have destroyed the once fantastic prospect of Charly. He has no confidence and is prone to mistakes. His less talented teammate Sainz is having the upper hand. Such a shame because Charly should be rated in the Max/Lewis/Fernando/Prost/Hakkinen category. IMO Carlos is in the Barichello/Massa/Bottas/Berger/Patrese category.
Mclaren – Piastri may be a super talent but is now nowhere near Lando. Today the gap was 0.9 s.
Mercedes – Lewis has bounced back after last year’s struggle and seems to dominate Russell.
Alpine – What’s not to like about the Gasly/Ocon driver lineup?

Cheeky Lando saying Max held him up at Monaco, that was funny.

They'd be two seconds down instead of one.

Horner in his latest interview after the QF :

"If there's 'one driver at the grid who can challenge MAX a bit , It's Alonso"

So , by this I think that Alonso has a (big)! chance to get Checo's seat at Red Bull in 2024 ...

Sure Horner . Let's do it ! Can't wait to see that ..

41 YO Fernie would be a great TM for Max I think, well...it's down to Checo now, as the city money dealers say that if you can't make a pound anymore then what are you doing in the job.

Tick on the race weekend of your choice.

You can toggle between "MY TIME" and "TRACK TIME".

No more "digging" as regards time.

Also Barcelona, but 2016 - it paved the way for Verstappen's F1 maiden win.

Lauda's take on the 2016 ROS-HAM crash:

HAM's fault 100%, he could see RUS had to move over for SAI and he just stuck his nose in there while RUS was watching SAI.
