2023 Formula 1 Season Paddock

Overall good race but they need other races before F1 to grip up the track. It would also help to have this during the hottest part of the day.

 

Pretty entertaining race

 

That was fun. Except for Norris! It looked like something broke on his car. I haven't looked for followups yet. I think Alonso and Max might have both been bitten by the same extra-slick spot on the track in the first turn. LeClerc made that Ferrari look a good bit better than it really was, well done. Checo had another humdinger of a scrap.

EDIT: looks like Lando just lost control over a bump. That was a scary crash.

 

Turn the sound up for the in car view of Norris' crash. Made my nut hairs stand up.

 

So I say scrap Miami and put the Nurburgring back on the schedule.

 

Since I started watching F1 in 1999 I still haven't enjoyed a season like in 2009.

Now on HuLu, if you have it.

About to start Part 3! Really good series since I wasn't into F1 in 2009. I know for the average fan/non fan a lot of the terms in the beginning would go over their heads. Only complaint so far would be a little bit of previous knowledge to fully understand what all their talking about.

 

ESPN+ has it too. Only temporarily though I think. Good stuff, although I wish Keanu had a word besides "f**k" in his vocabulary.

 

Scrap Miami and put basically any other track back on the schedule

 

Sainz is claiming that a parade car left an oil slick on the inside of Turn 1.

I heard one of the announcers mention one of the parade lap "jalopies", as he put it, had left oil on the track in that area. It was mentioned there was dirt on the track around the starting area, presumably from the oil dry.

 

Yep, its very good.

 

Before and after…

 

Lap of Legends

Modern drivers racing AI past drivers and cars. Yep.

Guess that means Logan didn't get fired.

 

Most boring season I can remember.

 

This.
The whole package is not winning

Not hating on Max. Red Bull. They did the job. But unless there is a true leadership battle racing is boring. Any race.

 

It wasn’t the worst. Aston Martin kept the first half interesting and McLaren made the second half interesting. Just ignore Redbull’s massive step above everyone else and it was pretty good.

 

Disagree
