Formula 1 Gran Premio de la Ciudad de México 2023Formula 1

[Grayfox]

Ferrari did not screw up the pit stop.

And the undercut for Lewis failed.
Overall time lost 1.5s.

 

[TumeK5]

Wow

 

[PaMu1337]

Big crash for KMag!

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Yikes, KMag brings out the SC. Nasty. 😔

 

[Grayfox]

SC.

 

[TumeK5]

I assume he lost it on that kerb

 

[Veinz]

Might be a red flag

 

[Jimlaad43]

That could be a Red Flag for barrier damage tbh

 

[Bosso]

This is good for Ferrari and their fresh tyres.

 

[TumeK5]

Oh, the suspension failed

 

[PaMu1337]

Might be a red flag

That could be a Red Flag for barrier damage tbh

Surely will be

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Wow, Haas just shot off into the wall. Glad he's OK.

edit: Aaaand red flag.

 

[Famine]

Verstappen in and out with fresh tyres. Leclerc could have had that too if he'd been in one lap later...

 

[TumeK5]

🚩

 

[PaMu1337]

This is excellent for Hamilton

 

[Jimlaad43]

Aaaand the FIA once again fail to let the marshals go out and deal with a crashed car for too long. Kevin is obviously a bit sore after the hit and is sitting on a barrier with nobody being able to go out and check him, while the car just sits there and catches fire.

The Safety Car was out, let the marshals do their job.

These FIA marshalling rules are stupid.

They REALLY need to have a traveling safety crew (unless they do already and I have forgotten).

 

[Mae Borowski]

That was a huge hit, jesus christ. Glad Kevin looks relatively alright

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Good for everyone less Verstappen and Norris who just pitted under the safety car

I'm not sure about the wing change for Leclerc. He seemed to be doing well without the endplate.

 

[TumeK5]

Verstappen moaning about the red flag...hasn't he learned by now it's always about the barrier?

 

[Jimlaad43]

No, they need to penalise speeding under yellows. Do that and drivers will slow down and ALL these problems go away.

 

[PaMu1337]

That was a weird looking suspension failure

 

[Mae Borowski]

I have words for Max that are not allowed on this site. What an entitled child

 

[Jimlaad43]

New Front Wing for Leclerc though, if they can get the change cleared by the FIA

 

[Liquid]

That was a weird looking suspension failure

Looked like the back left to me.

 

[TumeK5]

That was a weird looking suspension failure

Identical to Perez in Hungary 2015

 

[PaMu1337]

Looked like the back left to me.

It was, it suddenly snapped into a 45 degree angle

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

I wonder if his bumpy ride coming onto the straight had something to do with it.

 

[Grayfox]

Yup, like Gasly doing 200km/h+ under SC as he was catching wanted to catch up to the pack.

 

[Jimlaad43]

So it'll likely be a standing start. Max getting swamped maybe?
Hard tyres will go to the end of the 35 lap sprint, but will anyone want to Medium-Medium it and go at speed?
