2023 São Paulo Grand Prix - [RACE] discussion thread
FORMULA 1 ROLEX GRANDE PRÊMIO DE SÃO PAULO 2023
Alonso, you magnificent bastard.
By 0.053!!!!
I don’t know if Russel is the whiniest shit on the grid or if they just televise his bitching more than others
Probably a mix of the 2
WHAT A FINISH FROM ALONSO AND PEREZ!
Wow! What a pass by ALO!
Fantastic racing from Checo and Alonso, that was so fun to watch
What a finish, 0.053 is insanity.
Great job Alonso, kudos to Perez as well.
Interlagos brings the fun yet again, love this track.
Hey, thanks for making these every weekend. I appreciate the effort you're putting into it!
I'm also looking forward to the race after the sprint yesterday, that was real fun. Still undecided on whether stroll takes out Perez or the other way around.....:p
This camera direction is bad. Perez fighting Hamilton out of the pits and they're focusing on Stroll.
Director is obviously big fan of the old Monaco director.
This TV direction is horrendous. Not showing us the battles that we actually care about.
What you don’t want to watch the Mercedes struggle to drive straight or max just putting in laps a mile ahead of anyone for 2 hours?
Alonso great at keeping Perez in the dirty air, making him use up his tires trying to get past. Interesting to see how this plays out.
Charles on his own little forest adventure lmao what is this race
Charles “I don’t know why I even bother” Leclerc
This is awesome to watch..
Ahhh, happy for Perez but Alo also deserved that one, too.
Edit: I spoke too soon!
That was a nice move from Perez
Nice late braking
Because you race for Ferrari charles
Wow photo finish
Stroll overtaking Russell wow
Anyone else notice Russel steal the place from Perez when SC was called? I thought there was no passing under SC, George
It looked like they were uncertain as to whose place it was, Perez and George drove next to each other for a bit.
That's how I saw it as well.
Pretty sure checo passed him after the SC flag came out, checo also left a gap then. I think checo would've complained otherwise.
Yeah looked like a slam dunk penalty to me
yeh, looked like it to me, but they are so busy replaying other stuff weve not seen it again
From the onboard just now it seemed clear that Perez would've made the move on George if no yellow flag, but just as the flag came out George was just ahead of Perez. I.e. they assumed the correct order.
Russell is gonna be steaming lol
Amazing how Hamilton can be simultaneously too slow because he wants to go past, and too fast because he pulled away from DRS range.
Tell him to slow down or I'll over take and show him how to drive slowly!
TSU in 10th. Great start.
The Mercedes degrading like mad. GAS reaching RUS
Hopefully that wasn't the last overtaking attempt for Norris.
I suspect Max was holding back, just saving his tires.
Let’s hope. But VER is now putting some distance
Charles taking his car on a forest picnic.
I love ric and piastri, two aussies just hanging at the back, vibing.
They're cruising
Russel is so annoying
I wish they would stop showing the predicted drivers and constructors championship points before the race is done. Just wait until the end and we will know the actual points.
Don't really think anyone has done anything spectacular this race. I guess Perez will get it for at least vaguely achieving what the car is capable of.
I've gone with Ricciardo for shits n giggles
I voted for stroll because he wasn't awful for once
That third place still in the air
Hope they can fix Daniel’s wing.
Charles is on a wilderness excursion lol
Alonso baby
Already third
All this chaos without the rain
So Netflix clearly decided this episode is gonna be the Checo and Lance redemption show
Aston Martin: I’m the Mercedes now…
I am not that familiar with the anthem, did the singer forgot her lines at the beginning or is the anthem like that? Because I swear I saw people still singing despite her being silent
Her actual singing sucked too, stroll and a steward both were cringing
Don't know it either but it seemed to be a very minimalist interpretation of it, as most national anthems are bombastic by design.
There were tech issues with the broadcast during the Sprint Shootout, I wonder if she had a mic problem? It seemed to come back quite suddenly
Mercedes not having a great weekend here. That deg is bad. Being battled and passed up by cars that don't typically pass up a Mercedes...
Yuki should've pit ages ago. Alphatauri having horrible strategy as usual.
Alpha tauri's race operations don't deserve all the great drivers they have had in the team. So many strategic mistakes over the season
I was wondering when they pit, and then he started to lose a second after another. That said, the end result was not too bad. Maybe he lost one position (to Lewis). I don't think he lost two.
Let's be fair to Charles. With Ferrari's strategists I would try to eliminate myself too.
The Astons still have good pace. ALO controlling PER. STR far from SAI
Wow, Machine Gun Kelly might the grid walk interview that I have cringed at the hardest so far
No idea why Brundle bothered to stop for him
Part of it seems like he couldn’t hear and the other part was that he’s just an idiot
Russell and whining on the radio that he wants to be let through. Sunday traditions.
LEC, MAG, ALB out. PIA in doubts.
Unless they fix his car, Danny is out as well
That tyre could have landed on somebody's head
Hit Riccardo's back wing. I'm guessing he's out as well.
Happened more than once in the past
They were showing the highlights for the 2003 Brazilian Grand Prix on F1TV and wow, that race was something. 10 retirements.
I remember that one. There really was so much going on..
The howl of the V10, god that was intoxicating..
What a weird start already
So anyone else who thinks Stroll will DNF before the end of first lap? I'm not a fan of his, so definitely biased but his best recent results were after he could get a safe start from the pitlane.
I'd say here's about a 70% chance he'll ram someone at the first corner?
I’d say here’s about a 70% chance he’ll ram someone at the first corner?
I'd say there's about a 90% chance it will be Alonso
Ohh, was stroll involved in that leclerc incident? 😂
What the heck, Charles..
Ah, lost hydraulics. That sucks..
That Williams got WRECKED.
Bro, just redflag this and try again
If they keep crashing at this rate no car will reach the finish.
Thunderdome:Sao Paolo edition. 20 cars enter. One car leaves.
Oh, my! That tire came close to RIC! :O
It actually hit him, or his rear wing, I should say.
Yes, confirmed by the replay: it hit the rear wing
I don’t wanna jinx it but Checo is looking TIDY today, nice racing
Both Mercedes going backwards.
