Formula 1 - 2025 Season Discussion

@hallkbrdz I think it’s an Italian thing :grin:. Amazing race overall. That overtake from Max was absolutely inspired and I’m glad to see Ferrari showing pace.

I’m not uncomfortable with it but today has shown that the Redbull car is not a bad car. Just would love to see another top level driver beside Max. Tsunoda is not a good measure, he is third tier at best imho :man_shrugging:

Huge mistake by Pastry coming into T1. Then he got massively unlucky with the strategy. Still you cant get passed like this into turn 1.

Good recovery from Ferrari, sad for Leclerc though :frowning:

Solid nickname choice. Ole Pasty got absolutely smashed into T1. That was painful to watch!

INB4 Nando Loris retires after fumbling the WDC twice in a row

Retire at his age because of one bobble? Doubtful! The ego of an F1 driver knows no bounds.

It was more to do with Imola being a little old and not really being suited for the size or organization of a modern grandprix, which is a pity because of the history of the place.

Basically Bearman had broken down there earlier (which triggered the VSC) and they only had enough space to store one car at the cutout there. So a lift truck had to come from up the track (and i think take the car back). Once the truck was needed to drive down the side of the track they had to bring out the safety car.

This is so inspiring.

I’m not sure requiring 2 pit stops will make the Monaco parade much more interesting, but it’s at least something.

I like Monaco because it highlights how modern F1 cars are bloated barges and need to get smaller.

Inb4 teams pit on lap 1 and 2

Strolls spatial awareness is amazing. That’s all
I’m going to say so I don’t spoil it for anyone.

I was wondering if it’s two pit stops or three sets of tires. Because if it’s three set of tires could they do both in one stop.

Come in change tires, put it in the ground, pick it back up, change tires, put it back down and head out.

You need to use 3 sets of tyres, not install them on the car. Using means going out on the track for at least a lap

What a great Q Race for Monaco. Well done Lando.

Go Hadjar! Maybe the helmet design is helping and he’s got all of the wall tapping out of the way.

/edit and he just gained another spot after a penalty for another driver.

Horror show for Merc… I am curious to see if there are any strange strategies for tomorrow given the mandatory two stops. If there is a safety car early I imagine everyone pits and then the race will be business as usual.

Monaco should be a mandatory rain race. Wet the whole place down for the entire go.
