Mercedes snappy rear stroke again. It was a mistake though.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑24 Mar 2024, 07:25Okkkaaay guess that crash injected some excitement though a few laps too late!
Was it an unforced error or was it the car?
Nah, left a lot of time on the table in quali and couldn't even score a single point despite 3 top cars not finishing. That car had a point in it today and he wasn't good enough to pull it out. Haas running away in the WCC.Seanspeed wrote: ↑24 Mar 2024, 03:16
Fantastic hard lap in Q1, and a really solid P12 overall. No matter what happens, that hard Q1 lap proves he had no restraint like you were claiming he would.
You should really stop making so many assumptions and misunderstanding how top competitors minds' work. Making a mistake in a place is not gonna stop everybody from still being able to push hard after. I know this perfectly myself doing sim racing. Yea, maybe I'll double check myself on some non-essential laps just to get the feeling back, but typically I dont let something like a mistake create some submissive/scared situation. If you have that mentality, you've already lost and probably wouldn't ever cut it in a professional situation.
It did look like the car looked to give a nasty snap. I wouldn't completely give all blame to him but he was driving desperately to score extra pointsHammerfist wrote: ↑24 Mar 2024, 07:28Mercedes snappy rear stroke again.

Alonso let up the gas strangely well before the corner, hence why George got so close suddenly.Spacepace wrote: ↑24 Mar 2024, 07:33It did look like the car looked to give a nasty snap.

1000 race IQ. He knew the dirty air would cause instabilityCs98 wrote: ↑24 Mar 2024, 07:33Alonso let up the gas strangely well before the corner, hence why George got so close suddenly.
Maybe. Will have to compare with previous laps when the telemetry is available. If true it's a very questionable tactic for exactly the reason we see here.
Wouldn't put it past him. Alonso will beat you at any cost no matter the implications. He's being investigated for break testing him so....
Doesn't surprise me they are investigating, the initial reaction from the onboard is that he just lifts off well before the corner. The telemetry will be fascinating. If it is what it looks like that is incredibly dangerous, just look at where his car ends up afterwards. Lucky no one was close behind.
Wow the jinx worked at last! I’ll do it again next time tooWouter wrote: ↑24 Mar 2024, 00:11.AMG.Tzan wrote: ↑23 Mar 2024, 23:45.Sieper wrote: ↑23 Mar 2024, 21:53Yep, red flags, rain. Start at 07:00 here would mean a chance of it getting too dark there. Apparently last year they really feared that.
I am not going to watch it live. Under the weather myself.
So I’d appreciate it if nobody talks about the race until at least 10:00. Thank you.
Why? Don’t you know the outcome already?
I see you do, so please tell me the results. Thanks!

Is this real? Where was it announced? It would be a very serious issue IMHO if real.Cs98 wrote: ↑24 Mar 2024, 07:44Doesn't surprise me they are investigating, the initial reaction from the onboard is that he just lifts off well before the corner.

I turned off the race just after the finish so don't know, the other poster said they were investigating.dialtone wrote: ↑24 Mar 2024, 07:48Is this real? Where was it announced?
