FORMULA 1 ARAMCO BRITISH GRAND PRIX 2023
Happy with that. Norris in a well deserved 2nd. And 2 Brits on the podium.
Well deserved indeed. I’m so happy for him and Piastri right now.
I was skeptical but I’m really glad the hards ended up being the right call for Lando
Very happy for Lando! What a drive.
Really impressive drive from Oscar too. I think he would have gotten 3rd if he pitted under the full safety car instead of the VSC
I think Hamilton might have got him at the restart, he would have been slower in maggots and beckets trailing lando and landos defense was nearly perfect
Max was Max, Norris was brilliant, Hamilton drove well (and got some luck), Piastri was great, Perez again finished behind slower cars, Stroll needs to go.
I just want to say how great the growth of content and conversation has been here in just a few weeks. Let’s see what the McCedes can do.
I finally switched over from reddit this week, barely commented there. But I want to contribute here and noticed way less comments immediately blasting you.
Me too. I never commented on Reddit as it would get buried anyways. Today I switched and I already commented twice. I would like to see a good conversation here during live events.
Um, wtf, hards for Norris?
That’s going to hurt them
Aged like milk ;)
still can’t believe mclaren made the hards work, lewis’s softs were done shortly after the restart
It’s a bummer Piastri didn’t have softs, not that it was anyone’s fault of course. But I bet he would’ve passed Hamilton before the end of the race!
Why would they do that!?
Fuuuck…
Why?? What was going through their heads?
Damn. Stroll hitting Gasly was very unnecessary.
Really understating it here. Stroll’s driven quite poorly today in general, to be honest, so I can’t say I’m entirely shocked.
He should be getting penalty points for that move.
Is that not already the case?
He got two points, and is up to seven this season.
Doesn’t that put him close to a race ban?
5 second penalty 🙄
Sometimes the penalties are insane, considering that the other driver had to retire…
Gasly got Strolled
I’m impressed the Mclarens have been able to keep up with the Red Bull so far
Definitely impressive. Rather than max pulling a gap, it seems the top 3 are pulling a nice gap.
Max is starting to pull away now. Over 2 seconds between him and Lando.
Yeah I think my stream is a bit behind tbf.
Wonder if max is pulling away or Mclaren are holding back a touch.Eh, a bit of both, if you ask me. Will be interesting to see when the top 3 pit to go onto hards.
Verstappen watching TV again
Edit: while doing a fastest lap, lol
Great defense from Norris and Piastri, didnt think they would keep the mercedes behind them.
I’m gonna need a replay of Norris’ defence against Hamilton. That was imo the best racing we got this year so far.
I just don’t understand why McLaren put Norris and Piastri on hard tyres.
Even split strategies surely after seeing how long George lasted on softs
We’ll see, the C1 is a new tire this year. It’s possible most teams underestimated it.
TIL. I really need to pay more attention to things like this.
The garbage tire from Silverstone last year is called C0 this year.
Wait I didn’t know C0 was a thing. (Unless this means they just binned it, and I’m missing the joke.)
No they’re still technically available though I doubt Pirelli are actually going to bring them out on any circuit this season. We have six compounds this year, C0-C5.
Huh. Thank you for the explanation!
I get the hards for Piastri, but soft was the obvious call for Lando. Just strange that they would give him such a disadvantage on the restart.
I can’t believe how good Lando is defending himself against Hamilton… Impressive!
Norris is driving like a madman out there and it’s so much fun to watch
Yes! DoTD for me (and not just because I’m a fan)!
McLaren just giving it to Hamilton I’m afraid
Hamilton just got gifted a podium on a silver platter…
As always. Can’t remember the last time he was on the podium on merit!
Norris sounds pissed, and I can’t say I blame him. What the fuck were McLaren thinking?
I don’t think giving McLarens hard tires is a good idea… They’re trying to play it too safe.
I’m gonna be so sad if Norris gets overtaken by all the soft runners…whyyyy
Exactly! Hamilton is on softs, I feel like he will overtake Lando after restart…
I’m so happy I was wrong here
Yeah why not at least softs on one car?!
McLaren seems comfortably quicker than Ferrari right now
I’m honestly shocked that Sainz hasn’t done better than he has. I’d backed him for a podium shot, but this has not been a great race for him.
