The Formula 1 Thread 🏎

At that point both red cars had two sets of mediums, so they could choose between a third pit stop, softs, and hards. With 30 laps left, softs weren’t really an option, so they were left with hards as an only choice.

However, they have no one but themselves to blame for being in a shitty situation in the first place. Putting softs on for the second stint would’ve allowed a third stint of either mediums or hards, depending on how the race was going, giving you valuable OPTIONS.

I’m calling it now, Ferarri strategy department is run by a bunch of hamsters in a spinny wheel.

Yep, and what colour is a clown’s nose? I rest my case.

The “S” in Ferrari is for strategy.

I think Ferrari need to bulk buy F1 Manager and make it required training for their entire pit wall and strategy teams.

When the race started my mate and I went - so how do ferrari fuckup today (we are ferrari supporters btw…).
When they call in leclerc (ON MEDIUMS) to pit a lap after russell (ON SOFTS) when it was early even for a soft pit…we were like. yip. there it is!

Then we even joked about how they probably gonna put someone on hards when the commentators were talking about how the hard was shit, and i think magnussen came in to swap OFF them…sure enough, a few laps later, in comes leclerc for hards.

We stopped watching (technically) at that point. heads in hands, just laughing out of sheer frustration…

That’s the quickest Aston has been all season :smiley:

Good for Fernando to be racing into his mid-40s, but I think you’re right - he should have stayed with Alpine, but maybe his relationship with the Frenchies is starting to get strained.

So, the question that just a few days ago was “Who replaces Seb at Aston?” now becomes “Who replaces Nando at Alpine?”

Just had a thought… daddy Stroll makes sure another World Champion is there to mentor his laitie.
This move is equivalent to Ferrari strategy yesterday.

Gotta love Risitas, everytime something outragous happens, I hope someone makes a video and generally I’m left with nothing. Glad to see another video.

They should really replace the people in charge of the driver contracts over at Alpine.

And also I get the impression that drivers are never really all that happy at Alpine/Renault. I wish they can fix that.

Oh well. Let’s see what happens.

Piastri going to McLaren and Ricciardo without a seat? I doubt Alpine will take him back.
