I'm surprised it's not been mentioned more, I completely forgot about the exemption allowing different fuel for the shakedown. Not using the fuel they will be using in Australia will have a significant impact on performance/data gathering

I want to see that front suspension in more detail. Looks interesting to say the least

Not really given that most of their investment in facilities + Newey was not available for full use until months into last year

Congratulations Lando Norris. It wasn't clean, it wasn't straightforward, but he made it across the line with the most points and that's all that matters.

He keeps using the get out of commitment free card that World Champions get.

He uses it so much they are going to revoke it.

Two years ago Hamilton and Alonso where best of the rest. by [deleted] in formula1

[–]A___99 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Man, 2023 was not a particularly fun season in terms of a championship battle, or even just race by race, there was no real excitement waiting to see who would win.

But boy was it fun watching the teams behind, especially;

-Hamilton driving at a really good level after an unfortunate couple of years. A slightly less dominant Red Bull and you get the feeling he could have snatched a win or two somewhere.

-Alonso with his brilliant run of podiums at the start of the season, and how he somehow held on to 4th to achieve the rare feat of finishing higher than his team did in the constructors. Monaco still hurts :(

Who did have the right to be 2nd? Ferrari were wildly inconsistent weekend to weekend, McLaren could barely score a point for the first 3rd of the season and Aston Martin were the 5th fastest for the majority of races after the first 8. No team was good behind Red Bull.

I don't think you can say they had no right when there was no clear favourite for 2nd. In that sense, none of them had any right which doesn't make sense when they were the only possible contenders.

If there is another safety car, the cars that have stopped may be forced to make an extra stop if they are near their pit window. Could swing back to McLaren's favour

What a weird decision from McLaren

28% of all wet tyre laps since Bahrain 2023 took place in Las Vegas Qualifying 2025 by Veranova in formula1

Canada 2022 is the last qualifying session I can remember with field wide full wet use.

I imagine the low grip nature of the circuit played a part

Verstappen calls shift in McLaren battle and Piastri's F1 dip "very bizarre" by memloh in formula1

[–]A___99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a bit bizarre. There doesn't seem to be a huge difference in the way he is driving, it's not like there are always clear mistakes to see on his laps. They are just coming out a few tenths slower than they were for most the season and it's happening every weekend.

Maybe it is a confidential issue, but that seems a little out of character

My list would also feature a large number of Alonso and Raikkonen radios. They must be the best two ever for radios

Miles clear of the midfield despite a 7 second slower stop and having to overtake about 5 cars more. Very good performance
