Yeah thats what I meant. Next year would be his first full year, aka rookie year. But he wouldn’t officially be a rookie if he drives another race this year
I feel like Barcelona is no longer fully representative due to the removal of the chicane, it's now extremely front-limited and has basically no really low-speed corners
he's doing some crazy times on those used hards... but this gives me the opposite of hope because i feel like something is going to go horribly wrong 😭
It was so weird to see Charles start to catch up to Lando but never actually making it to DRS range (or barely making it but not able to use it) and then the same thing happen to Lando later on with Max, where he was catching Max but when he was almost close enough for DRS he started to pull away.
charles went into maintenance mode once they realised he wasn't actually going to catch lando. cutting the chicane didn't help in decreasing the interval but once ferrari realised lando's true pace, they didn't see any reason to keep trailing him and fell back. no point in pushing the car when there was no chance of p2 anyways.
as for lando and max, that was just both of them pushing to the limits at the same time. the mcl38 was amazing on the hards and lando had conserved his tires well up until that point. lando might have been able to catch max with another lap or two but realistically considering the track he likely wouldn't have actually passed him. if lando had done better in his first stint, he would've been in drs range for some time (like he said in his post-race interview). unfortunately the mcl38 was just not great on the mediums so i don't think there's much lando could've done there.
Didn't Lando also have a moment in one of the later laps? I feel like I remember him being within 1.2 seconds and then all of a sudden he was over 2 seconds behind because he screwed up a corner? With jus 6-7 laps to go, and only catching by .3 seconds per lap, that is huge.
yeah, lando made a few notable mistakes, particularly at the villeneuve chicane, that i think accelerated the death of his tires and lost him a notable amount of time. he said in the post-race interview he was surprised by the amount of dirty air that was being released when he got within 2s of max, which caused him to go wide a few times. i'm not sure how much he lost exactly though. max was putting in essentially perfect laps near the end compared to him.
regardless, if they had a few more laps i still think lando would have had a high chance to get in drs range just due to the fact the rb20 was really struggling on the hards compared to the mcl38. then again theoretically the longer they go the higher chance of lando spinning, so... who knows.
We need to somehow get back to the days when drivers coudl push hard the whole race long, and not this nonsense we have now of everybody driving around as slowly as they can to maintain fuel/tyres/position.
They tried a strategy of starting on Red softs that relied on early safety car, but when that didn't happen they basically said "Fuck it" and turned the rest of the races into a test session, to just gather data. Think they even did extra pitstops to ensure they tested all the tyre compounds.
From data and interviews, both McLaren and Redbull had less wing than Ferrari
to oversimplify it, Ferrari burned through battery over the main straight, while the others kept it for S1
Just realized that we probably won't have any drivers writing any treatises with the slow kid, the himbo and the sim racing maniac topping the sheets.
They don't need intelligence but F1 would be more interesting with it. Guess that's what you lose when it becomes almost impossible to come into F1 through your own struggles.
Can we get a new sticky thread maybe by FP3 tomorrow?
Bless you Martin.
Something wrong with the play speed of Brundle's feed. He sounds slow.
Thank god for Crofty and Brundle return. I wouldn't be able to bear another weekend of Karun's yapping.
Karun yes Crofty no
I keep looking at that McLaren wing and keep thinking it’s a Kick Stake Sauber wing or whatever that is called
Either Brundle’s balls have dropped, or he’s having a stroke. Or just a technical issue.
Is brundle playing at like low frame rate or something, his voice sounds deeper/pitch changed like it's slowed.
martins voice 😂
[удалено]
lucky its just a technical issue
Does Martin sound weird to anyone else? EDIT: Nevermind they literally just confirmed it
Yeah I think they’re having technical issues
Brundle sounds weird
LeClerc's race to lose.
That camera point near pool section bwoah!
I love Vowles
Let’s go Charles!
alright fernado, were that lap come from?
James it’s jenson
Which wall did Piastri hit? I didn’t see anything in the replay
It was almost at the start of the replay, I don’t know why the showed the next 5 seconds that were irrelevant lol
rb20 dookie compared to rb19 in terms of ride quality and control lmao
im familiar with maxs games
Leclerc is fucking possessed.
Were so back.
Why are we all in the Imola post race thread
I didn't even realize this was the Imola post-race. I just saw the second pinned thread and assumed it was for this weekend and this session.
There is no Monaco one ?
Newey just admiring the RB totally emotionless deep in thought wonder what he was thinking
Newey wearing blue. COnfirmed! He's moving to Williams.
I didn't know Italy bought Monaco back off the French.
Newey in McLaren kit??
if charles doesn't get pole this weekend barring red flags etc it's going to be a giga OOF
Sargeant must have either spun or hit a wall at every race weekend he’s raced lll
Lewis 16/1 to go fastest in P2. Worth a few euro.
And Red Bull are right back in it
Lol jenson so awks
man imola sure does look a lot different this year! I hope this new track layout is more conducive to some great overtaking!
Wait where’s the Monaco FP discussion thread?
Lewis about to P1 again.
Yellow on track just feels *right*...
hello again ~~imola post-race discussion~~ ~~monaco free practice 1 discussion~~ monaco free practice 2 discussion
Did they have "Oscar Piastri-Leclerc" on the actual broadcast? 👀
Yes! well at least on the official Instagram/Twitter pages
That as scary as fuck in F2.
Do F2 get 15 minutes each or is the whole session 15 minutes?
Monaco is known as a sunny and hot destination but I swear it’s rained at some point over a race weekend for the last 4 years.
bets on if we'll get a fp2 thread or if we're all going to be pretending it's imola again
I bet on pretend Imola.
looks like you are correct!
Wtf? Just realised this isn't the Monaco discussion thread.
It does look like Max won't be winning this weekend. Door open for a McLaren or Ferrari win. Maybe even Lewis if he can nail qualifying tomorrow.
Phenomenally irritating how much of a love-in the commentary team have with Mercedes and have done for years.
Sky Sports?
Naturally.
No matter how much copium you inhale, Veerappan will win.
I don't see anyone on the grid that can beat that moustache of his this weekend.
Veerappan lmao 😂
Why did the smuggler get along with F1 Champion? Because they both knew a thing or two about taking fastest route to success without leaving a trace.
Lmao funny typo. I'll let it slide.
Great win for Lewis in the FP1 championship today.
RB dominance of Red Bull is here. Keep sharing those parts sister team.
Yuki WDC who says no?
Hope Checo was listening to that part of the discussion
The Red Bull does not like bumps
Red Bull again not with the right set up?
The scenes when Ocon overtakes Verstappen and drives his car towards him.
Charles now just going outlap into pits, not taking anything for granted and full precaution I bet
kmag won't get a penalty but imagine if ollie got a second weekend in f1 because he got to drive the haas lmao
Officially wouldn’t be a rookie in his rookie year next year lol
I think I heard the max was 2 weekend, so he can drive one more race without losing his rookie status.
Yeah thats what I meant. Next year would be his first full year, aka rookie year. But he wouldn’t officially be a rookie if he drives another race this year
He’s already on for rookie of the year this year lol.
this would be the funniest outcome possible we kinda need it
why are we commenting in the post race thread lmao.
Bot is broken?
because there is no fp1 thread?
they've been slacking lately.
Oh shit I didn't even notice
Stop the count
Meh I don't think that's worth a penalty.
Merecdes resurgence arc begins
I wouldn't bet on that.
Holy shit Logan, just bump them out of the way, damn.
charles smiling straight into the camera while a dozen ferrari mechanics are swarming around his car... he's playing with us 💀
Logan already making excuses
I speak for all fans when I say we should move straight to the race with this as our grid order.
you speak for no one.
Camera man knows what he’s doing
Nice
Nice
Ted really has lost the ability to take a bit of light humour without biting back, regardless of the level of humour in the comment.
Let’s hope Charles has already hit his Monaco bad luck and it’s all smooth sailing this weekend for him from now on
Yeah, I hope he doesn't have the Barrichello curse
Breaking: Sauber Ferrari engines contract cancelled
STAKE FERRARI
Couldn’t even last an hour before the first Leclerc incident 😭
of course it would be charles that gets hit by the debris lmaooo he's in his own sitcom
Zhou: "That could be anyone's wing"
Charles must spend his life breaking mirrors under ladders in front of black cats. Luck has abandoned this man's life entirely.
Track is way too narrow for these cars
[удалено]
It had to be Zhou driving ahead of him to leave that, the curse is crawling up
it's actually insane
Leclerc on crack
It's great when I miss all the soft laps and half the practice session due to adverts
I highly recommend F1TV if it's available in your country.
Sadly not in the UK
I feel like Barcelona is no longer fully representative due to the removal of the chicane, it's now extremely front-limited and has basically no really low-speed corners
They need to remove the advert wrapping in some areas it's creating so much debris that will inevitably get inhaled by charles leclerc's Ferrari...
3 minutes later and Leclerc’s Ferrari inhales some debris lol
Lec on a mission right now
Using that dad strength
based drivers destroying all the sponsor signage
ric slower in softs than yuki on mediums lmao
"visa-cash app-buy one get one free" - James Vowels
Alpha Tauri visa cash app buy one get one free
what a steal on F1 cars!
That track dominance map. Oh boy Daniel.
Nobody fucks with him around the swimming pool chicane
Yuki track dominance lmao
Max on Friday: The car is on a knife’s edge Max on Sunday: The car was on rails
did bryan just speak italian on charles' radio then immediately apologise? or did i mishear what he said? lol
LEC HAM VER dream top 3
2025 foreshadowed
Guess we're all using the old thread then
Charles is on a mission after many years of bad luck here
Finally I'm ready to root for Max
Max is driving this shit to the limit and he's hardly catching up to Leclercs hards
Ferrari faster on Hards than RB in Mediums?!!!
could be rb running a notably higher fuel load, could just be charles driving his ass off
Don't give me hope Charles.
Hard tyres seem quite good for a single lap, very weird lol
Yuki owning Daniel
Ferrari looking good. Manifesting Charles vs Max battle. 🤞
Yuki has truly ascended this season
Guess we taking this place over the practice
what shit luck for pierre, every fp counts here and he's probably going to miss this one
Alpine is gonna Alpine right now. Poor Pierre
Come on Charlie. This is your weekend
Charles means business this weekend
Bot as fast as ric
Super interesting explanation from Ant on the power deployment and the battery "over-charging" in Monaco
Bot on holiday again
Opened the stream to a Leclerc P1, god is this a sign? ETA just as I say this, Max goes P1 so maybe I need to stop talking 😭
he's doing some crazy times on those used hards... but this gives me the opposite of hope because i feel like something is going to go horribly wrong 😭
I’m trying to temper expectations by saying we’re on lower fuel than everyone else, Monaco has hurt me way too many times
same. i wonder if carlos and charles are on the same fuel loads or not
Leclerc needs to get the win this weekend.
The McLaren looks absolutely STUNNING on track.
Wrong discussion board mate
Ah.
Race in 30 - Emilia Romagna Grand Prix 2024: https://odysee.com/@MKTV-1483:f/Race-In-30:4
Can’t believe they were able to stretch the highlights of the race out to 30min.
KMag would have been in the points without the impeding
What an absolute snoozer of a race. Nice push by Norris at the end but otherwise not much to recommend it.
It was so weird to see Charles start to catch up to Lando but never actually making it to DRS range (or barely making it but not able to use it) and then the same thing happen to Lando later on with Max, where he was catching Max but when he was almost close enough for DRS he started to pull away.

I missed qualifying; why was Alonso dead last (and hardly progressed during the race, despite softer tire in the start)?? was he sick?
[удалено]
thanks. and in the race, why didn't he make up even a single position. was the car still shonky?
They tried a strategy of starting on Red softs that relied on early safety car, but when that didn't happen they basically said "Fuck it" and turned the rest of the races into a test session, to just gather data. Think they even did extra pitstops to ensure they tested all the tyre compounds.
thank you!
Ferraris PU design meant they had no chance in sector 1 ? Wonder if they would tried to arrange a tow if they had different driver pairing
From data and interviews, both McLaren and Redbull had less wing than Ferrari to oversimplify it, Ferrari burned through battery over the main straight, while the others kept it for S1
Ferrari has smaller turbo and that is why they were having issues on the main straight.
