2025 Formula 1 Season Paddock

Will the track and stewards allow passing this race? The grid alone is screaming for passing.

Spoiler: Grid

 

Looks to me like the lap 35 safety car was completely unnecessary. Will see what is reported after the race.

 

There was debris from Carlos' side pod all over, feel like it was actually necessary but could have been ended a bit shorter

Happy for Piastri, he's really fun to watch

 

Does Piastri remind anyone else of Kimi Raikkonen? He's got the same eerily calm demeanor, the same deadpan humor. And he can drive the isht out of aF1 car.

 

Max reminds me of Kimi, especially the deadpan humour, positive or negative.

 

Stroll reminds me of…wait why is he still around?

 

It's clear to me that he really doesn't want to be in F1. I'm guessing daddy is making him race at this point since he hasn't gained any other skills.

 

All in all it was a great race. Lots of action everywhere in the track. Huge congrats to Piastri and Lando for 1st and 3rd. I think the biggest congrats go to Russell at Mercedes for finishing second even when his DRS system was faulty, his dash and electronics were going out with five laps left, and he did to 27 laps on soft tires In Bahrain and made them last......... that was almost an impossible feat.

 

& especially for backing off briefly after accidentally opening DRS, that's solid in-the-moment awareness

 

Wasn't he working on his tennis game or was there no love there either?

 

Aced it!

 

Never count out a world champion in a slow car.....

 

Hamilton isn’t going anywhere

 

He needs to stop whining so much.

 

Is he still whining?

 

It’s so brutal seeing him out there every week.

 

I didn't catch any in last weekend's race but quite a bit in the previous.

 

I think he qualified a bit better than usual

 

He edged out Doohan
