2023 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix - Race Thread

[Schumiklub]

Charles sounds so depressed on the radio.

[ferrari1.8t]

One thing is for sure, Leclerc will start looking elsewhere after today. They proved to him again that they don’t have what it takes and can’t/won’t prioritize him. What a shame, generational talent and we wasted it.

[nani_s23]

They sacrificed two years and half of last for this?!?!

Wts more interesting is … they lost 2nd position in WCC as well this season. Great turn around

[ferrari1.8t]

When the car is weak, what’s the point of Swap?

Anyways Sainz proving me again…. He’s not ready for big seat.

Principle, showing Leclerc you still believe and back him.

As many before him... Sadly

[JacKy]

Leclerc walking around as usual after he lost his purpose

Only Ferrari can do that! Great job!

He never got close enough to show he was faster on these tyres.

Where will he look, Merc who did not switch Lewis and Russell, or Red Bull who did not switch their drivers either? Sounds like a plan lol

[Greig]

Alonso will prob get another penalty won't affect us though.

[458 Italia]

What a pathetic none event that was.

I wouldnt say “ready”.

He just doesnt have the “talent” for it.

[tifosi1993]

I'm speechless. Today was a proper thrashing. Just pack up and move one. Those at Maranello are hapless bunch. No direction whatsoever.

[brucewayne]

He never got close enough to show he was faster on these tyres. Why did Red Bull not switch Perez with Max?

Perez is driving for the win, shows he at least is capable to benefit if the situation arrives. Sainz never did it, and he never will. Ferrari loves to screw Charles over, this won’t change.

Again, for the principle. He got screwed at no fault of his own. He was and is the faster driver. Carlos and his stupid ‘smooth operator bit’ can move over for a real racer.

Charles never even got close then started making mistakes.

[Schumiklub]

Charles is fed up. He didn't say a single word over the radio during the cool down lap.

[jgonzalesm6]

That AMR23 is a fast car under the hands of Alonso.

Didn't you laugh at them?

[tifosi1993]

This team is one trick pony. Doesn't have any engine advantage over the Honda, apart from going up in smokes, and soon as the FIA raised the floor height, all the aero performance is lost.

[Greig]

Again, for the principle. He got screwed at no fault of his own. He was and is the faster driver. Carlos and his stupid ‘smooth operator bit’ can move over for a real racer.

He should have pushed Carlos then rather than fall behind.

[Ferrari312T4]

Well we get more aero time ...

[Greig]

Didn't you laugh at them?

When did I laugh at them? Making up more things?

[brucewayne]

So we are 2s off RB. Wow.

[patrese86]

Charles didn't even get DRS on Carlos. I think Charles is great but if your swapping places when your down in 7th and 8th and clearly not competing for anything you should frankly leave the sport.

Can't believe people are even suggesting swapping drivers when there's nothing on the line.

[ferrari1.8t]

Can’t believe you are defending Carlos. I really can’t believe that you are defending Ferrari yet again after another race full of mistakes.

[Greig]

So we are 2s off RB. Wow.

Will take us a long time to rebuild, many seemed to thinking changing TP would just fix everything.

[tifosi1993]

Well we get more aero time ...

Wasted 2020 and 2021 and the end result was zero. Getting a few extra wind tunnel time isn't going to be any advantage for us.

[stefa]

I don't see Ferrari taking a single win this season

[Juan]

i’m wasting my time, and watching today’s F1 makes me sick, feels soulless and fixed… i’m only seeing Spa Monza & Interlagos. Good bye guys.

[Greig]

Can’t believe you are defending Carlos. I really can’t believe that you are defending Ferrari yet again after another race full of mistakes.

Not defending anyone, Charles never pushed him. Not shocked your throwing a hissy fit though.

[brucewayne]

He did, but there is no point in doing it. Ferrari is scared to make uncomfortable decisions. Nothing new. One mistake after another. They really went for hards with Charles, this is so laughable.
