2024 Qatar Grand Prix - Race

[tifosi1993]

This was a McLaren track. But Max turned his ship around, and Russell too was very strong, until he bolted the hards.
But we need the same thing to happen in Abu Dhabi. Only this time them being behind us.

Under pressure, the McLaren guys will make mistakes.

[FerrariF60]

Could’ve swore I heard crofty say 31 points. The guy either can’t count or is delusional. Keep coping buddy

Crafty peed himself and lost words when Norris got the 10 seconds stop and go so he forgot how to do math

[jgonzalesm6]

I don't know what you all thing sainz should have done here? He did his best, look where piastri end up? He didn't take over leclerc with a fastest car under him. Sainz did all he can but unfortunately he was not able to. Maybe he had damage from the puncture. Do you all think Hamilton will be any better than him next year? I very much doubt it. For the record I don't support or favouring sainz here.

I'm going to compare:

Leclerc vs Sainz 2024 points race for race.

Leclerc vs Hamilton 2025 points race for race.

[Rishu]

True. 10 seconds stop and go is appropriate for safety car breach, but not for failing slow under the yellow.

I think the message is "safety first", hence penalty seems ok

[GoodtimesF1]

I'm not saying it was easy but the Alpine is one of the slowest cars. We needed these points.

Yes when you look at it over the whole season but the Alpine was not bad this weekend and many were suprised. We were lacking the overspeed to get passed him on the straight. The straight is the only place where you can overtake on this terrible track.

[nani_s23]

Wow, the new steward is coming down hard on any infringements, whether its minor or major. I hate McLaren, but I don't agree with the 10 seconds stop-go penalty for failing to slow down under the yellow, it seemed way too harsh.

Charles drove brilliantly.
Carlos had some bad luck, but then he couldn't overtake Gasly. I sure he will blame on something being broken on the car, rather than his own inability to pass an Alpine. He got very close a couple of times but made mistakes.

The gap between us and McLaren is 21 points. We need luck to overcome that point deficit.

Ferrari need 1-2 finish in AD & McLaren 4-5 or lower down the grid.

Norris pace on Hards last stint was super fast. I guess Ferrari went with wrong setup as they did most of Sim on Hards in FP1 yet unable to make in roads.

As I expected this Ferrari car will suffer at restarts due to Tyre temp issue + S1 is pretty weak for Ferrari with no grip at all.

I’m sure the post race coverage on Sky will be a funeral. I can’t watch, but I would love to see the look on all of their faces as they try to make sense and cope with McLaren not winning today LOL

I guess it’s for Pitlane infringement

Mercs might struggle, our hope is on Max.

[drax]

Even if we get a 1,2 they just need a 4,5 so we need extra help

[nani_s23]

Sainz does have floor damage due to tyre puncture. @SkyF1

Damn we might regret mid season even more

[Cavallino]

ugh if it wasn't for this stupid sprint race, we'd be within 20

[nani_s23]

Sainz Baku & Brazil crash is even more painful now.

Max is our man/saviour

[FerrariF60]

Like I’ve been saying all along….only if that Barca update would have delivered…..we’d be in a totally different situation now….i know, I know…..IF’s AND’s or BUT’s

[Greig]

Sainz Baku & Brazil crash is even more painful now.

Yeah those are the only 2 mistakes alll season, nothing else happened.....

Desperate to blame Sainz.....

[PURE PASSION]

OK
After SO many years, I saw again the Ferrari International Assistance :):):) from the McL boys !!!!!

[elnano14]

I think the AD track layout will be well suited for us

Hopefully track temps will be high

We need Max (and Red Bull) at his absolute best (but not better than us) to finish in front of McLaren, and maybe Mercs can cause some trouble too

[racingbradley]

Luck was on our side today. Now we need we need similar in Abu Dhabi next week..

[nani_s23]

Didn’t blame him, I’ve just said those were potential points finish & not scoring is even more painful.

[Greig]

Max Verstappen on George Russell in the post-race press conference: "I've been in the meeting room (stewards) many times, and I've never seen someone screw someone over that hard, and that for me, I lost all the respect."

[racingbradley]

Typical George. He's fighting for his survival at the team come 2026.

If Max loses title next year at RB, I see him making a move either to Aston or Mercs.

[Schaun]

An Aston Martin move is more likely than a Mercedes move.

[Cavallino]

it was Red Bull / Max who complained.

Don't mess with Red Bull man, they nuked our engine for 3 seasons.

Pretty sure it was Mercedes and Allison....
