2023 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix - Race Thread

[brucewayne]

My last two cents (probably!) for tonight...

Mercedes developed a car that was so radically different that didn't work. They stuck with it but ultimately with these new aero rules it's clear as day that whatever data through simulations they've gathered doesn't correlate to what happens on a race track.

We are not that different in this respect it's just our car looks similar but the technical directive 39 must of played a far bigger part than Binotto was letting others know and our cars performance was fundementally linked to that because despite the porpoising we could generate so much downforce that it worked the tyres properly.

Binotto didn’t know better, which would be a problem. Or he lied all the time and didn’t do the necessary steps last year. Both unforgivable.

2023 is already more or less over. We won’t fight RB, and to be honest 2024 will be the same. So we should look at 2026? And fail again?

I know, that's him though, says I'm making up things.

btw, it was a response to your post that he laughed at.

He won't admit it though. He'll still stand by his post that "I'm making up things."

Laughing at someone's comment is not quite the same, so when did I laugh AT Aston Martin?

[jgonzalesm6]

I was laughing at your comment, as I tend to do often.

His comment wasn't far off was it?

Did you read what you said? Or should I repost it here?

[Greig]

I know what I said, I laughed at his comment. Post it if you want won't change that fact.

And I still don't think AM is something special.

It’s nothing new, we get used to it from Mr. Excuse.

LOL......as usual. You're an amazing character I must admit.

So you make something up, then double down on it and turn it around onto me.....great stuff.

I remember when you used to cheer Red Bull's overtaking a Ferrari....

Ricky: “You did a good job. Very consistent and no mistakes.”


No mistakes? Consistent? You mean consistently slow. You lost positions and did nothing to make them up. The only thing you did was hold up your teammate. Stop coddling this mediocre driver ffs.

Hey, guess what, it's not just RedBull overtaking Ferrari, you'll have AMRF1 and soon Mercedes for 2023.

And you will cheer them in doing so I suspect.

[jgonzalesm6]

I commend them on their advancement in performance instead of mediocrity and stagnation.

You are sending warnings regarding trolling or baiting, you should also send one to yourself. But I guess the rules don’t apply to you, I suspect.

2022 was our one chance to win the title and we threw it away…Instead of backing Charles, we prioritized Carlos. Instead of developing the F1-75, we gave up to build this turd of a car. That’s what is the most upsetting, we had a chance and blew it. And we won’t have a chance again for years. So disheartening.

[Greig]

Charles saying his pace was not much different to Carlos after they went to hards and he made some mistakes and once he lost being in the DRS zone he has nothing in the car to make up the gap and pass.

But that does not fit into agenda on here.

After TD39, we were lost. And we are still. We wouldn’t have won anything. And we wont win anything. We had a headstart and look what we have done.

In 2020 we finished 6th just to remind you.

In 2022, AMRF1 finished 7th. Your point is what again?

Yet to see you commend Ferrari for advancement in performance.....

Carlos was told that Charles has the pace to catch Hamilton. Sainz wanted to wait to get DRS on Hamilton. Obviously… After that, everything was set. No point to change anymore. But you won’t acknowledge the obvious.

Nevertheless, our goal is to fight for wins. We missed all of our targets.

I get it, you're happy with being 4th, 3rd or 2nd in this turbo-hybrid era then with Ferrari F1 after 75 years in F1.

RedBull has done it in less than 10 years.

AMRF1 has done it in less than 1 years time.

Mercedes will be back at the top fighting against AMRF1.

I did not hear that radio, interesting can you post it?

When have I said I am happy, again making things up again.

Length of time in F1 means nothing, its a ever changing sport.

[paolo lalli]

What else is new,,same old results week in week out,followed by the blame game,and then followed by we must do better,followed by team in chaos followed by rumours followed by vigna and Vasquez round 3 what a minestrone.

[brucewayne]

I will, if I find it online.

[paolo lalli]

4th best team.Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Yeah looks like Ferrari had a great concept until TD39. That Merc initiated change dis for them and Ferrari and means everyone needs to shift to RB concept. TD39 has shoe horned everyone to RB concept.

[jgonzalesm6]

The FIA have reversed their decision on the Alonso 10sec time penalty.

Alonso keeps his 3rd place finish and trophy.

It was an unfair decision anyway.
I thought our car was quite fast on the soft tyres but as soon as the hards went on it became really sluggish. Hopefully it's a quick fix.

Lol. What a joke of a formula. This is the correct result, but a bad look for F1. Suppose it was Hamilton on the podium they wouldn’t have reversed it. Maybe Toto’s envelope wasn’t big enough to keep the podium for George. Ah well….
