Formula 1 STC Saudi Arabian Grand Prix 2024 (Saturday race)Formula 1

False Start and Jump Start are different things. A False is like what Lando did, where you go early, stop and then go after the lights go out. Jump Start is when you go early and don't stop.

Both should be penalised. Jump Start a minimum of a Drive-Through and False start a minimum of +10 seconds.

Lando not getting a penalty for that is a joke.

 

[MagpieRacer]

Yes Lewis, GPS agrees 🤣

 

[Fezzik]

The DRS on the McLaren is a bit useless

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Yikes, KMag collecting another 10 sec penalty.

 

[TumeK5]

He's trying so hard to collect penalties to pay homage to Ocon in Bahrain last year.

 

[Veinz]

Bring back the drive through penalties

 

[Grayfox]

They should bring back the rule, you must serve your penalty with in 3 laps.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

So conflicted. KMag's being a bit of a menace, but it's helping Nico / Haas. 🤔

 

[Veinz]

This is just painful to watch.

 

[Veinz]

Those were definitely some greasy tactics

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Piastri vs Hamilton, Round 113.

edit: Finally... Lewis boxes. 😤

moar edit: Wow, the way Lando pulled away from Lewis... 😮

even moar edit: I forgot how he weaved around a bit earlier. Naughty. 😤

Have Sauber forgotten that Zhou needs to put or something?

Hell of a drive from the kid. Someone has to give him a seat next year.

Leclerc has a 2100 year contract because #1 driver.
Lewis has the other seat.

There are other cars

There are other cars

Really want to see him rot at the bottom of the grid in a Haas?

 

[Grayfox]

There are other cars

What HASS?
Yeah, lets put a rookie who is in the top 10 on his first outing and put him at the back of the grid or near back as Alpine has exclusive rights for the last two spots.

(ignoring the fact that there’s a Haas in the points right now)

Sure, why not. What’s the alternative? A third year in F2? WEC? Non-racing reserve until Lewis retires or someone else takes the Ferrari seat?

That Haas is in the points because of rolling roadblock Kmag.
Non racing reserve role, like Mick?

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Podium places went about as expected. Congrats to Max on his 100th.

Too bad Sainz was out, but Bearman had a fine debut!

McLarens woefully slow with DRS. Piastri done did good. Lando being naughty with the start and some weaving. Decent points. Hopefully they do well in Australia.

KMag being a menace, but helping the team.

Forgot Ricciardo was racing.

Racing is better. Nothing wrong with learning in a backmarker. Didn’t do Russell any harm, or Leclerc, or countless others over the years.

 

[Atarwii]

The leading driver didn’t see the chequered flag and the team didn’t notify her that the race was over. So she kept racing for another lap.

What a performance by Ollie. Just simply wow. Someone needs to give him an F1 seat, especially if he wins the F2 this year

 

[TumeK5]

Incredible how Formula Academy managed to get another driver to win, but F1 can't 🤣

Only seat available will be either Haas or Williams, I'm afraid. Simply nowhere else to go. F1 be like that...

Howeverr...then there's 2026...

Yes, because an 11th team will not add "VALUE" to the sport.

Can't argue with the result for Piastri but what an amazing achievement from McLaren to design a car that's basically as fast without DRS, as it is with it.

I think they borrowed from Polyphony whovever modelled the DRS on the likes of the DTM Audi - you open it up and nothing much happens.

At least they know the car works on the high speed bends - that was a great view from Lewis’ onboard cam as Lando zoomed off.

Weird you didn't bring up the 911 GT3 RS.

Yeah, the onboard from Lewis was insane, with how much Lando was able to gap him in the first sector. Hopefully they figure out the DRS pace at some point.
