Quite an impressive explosion when Verstappen entered the pitlane.

Can you imagine that if SAI wins, and Max wins the rest of the year.....then SAI is the only one of competing teams to win races in the past 2 years....
And Ferrari ditched him

But the race (and this year) is still long. lots of things can happen.

When max got passed by Carlos it looked like a bag or some trash on the track, I wonder if some of it got sucked into the redbull rear end.

Makes today anybody’s race!

In the slowmotion replay : MAX got an explosion in the pitlane followed by flames ...

Damn !!!

G30M · 03-23-2024, 11:17 PM

well, IF the undercut people get stuck in traffic, Perez is now up to 3rd without doing anything lol

Disappointing for Max’s records, but the race will be more exciting.

As well, dumped Merc from my F1 pool and added Ferrari and a number of people in my pool have RB and Max.

I think something went wrong with his brake (or whatever it is) quite early, possibly from lap 2 or so.
Because he ran away from SAI to a certain point, and then SAI came back and I think that was on a part of the track that no DRS zone was passed. And within 1 lap that SAI had passed, we already saw smoke.

I don't think this is a matter of a tear-off or something on the track getting trapped in the brake. Because this was also non maneagable.

G30M · 03-23-2024, 11:24 PM

I predict Piastri will be told to let Norris past

Artemis · 03-23-2024, 11:27 PM

Hamilton DNF. Engine issue.

G30M · 03-23-2024, 11:27 PM

Merc 44 engine dead

GuidoK · 03-23-2024, 11:28 PM

And Hammy also has an engine failure.
Is ferrari now the most reliable car?

Sounded like something seriously breaking.

And ALO profits with a pit stop

Seeing only Max and Hammy out...you'd think its 2021 again....

G30M · 03-23-2024, 11:28 PM

Alo up to 5th

But will he?

G30M · 03-23-2024, 11:33 PM

not sure why Alo went medium, he's going to lose places

G30M · 03-23-2024, 11:34 PM

Russell is catching Perez

edit: i think maybe he got passed, i saw him 0.8s behind thought he was closing in but more likely just got passed

G30M · 03-23-2024, 11:36 PM

Haas team order

GuidoK · 03-23-2024, 11:39 PM

SAI has very good pace.
His tyres are newer than the ones from LEC, but he put an extra 1,5sec lead in just a few rounds.
I think he's gonna win.
His contract ends the same date Checo's contract ends I believe
