Yeah his racing, on top of his off track antics, will make things entertaining if with him in a podium capable car in THAT team.

Here's to Alonso to save us from a boring season.

Ferrari looked bloody awful.

Podium predictions for next weekend? Alonso again?

I was going to replace one of your 2nd RB cans by a Red Coke can but seems Leclair gets 10 place penalty or more for the next one, but your drinks looks good to me as is...

The Red One · 03-18-2023, 08:43 PM

This is going to be tough.

Can I root for Perrez, Alonso, Russel, Sainz, the Alpine guys and also my Homeboy Stroll?

The Max & Charlie comback show should be quite the fun watch as well.

Tough? It was agony and ecstasy personified. But mostly it was a clear showing of how screwed up the F.IA. (Feeble Incompetent A$$hats) is!
Noway they should have gone to a full course yellow with a safety car. That was done specifically for the benefit a certain back marker. Which one depends on your allegiance.
Any race I've been to, competed in or worked at in some capacity has always shown only a waved yellow were there was a need. In this case the car was all but tucked up behind the safety barrier. The rest of the track should have remained green! The car was far away from the track. The little bit of rear wing left showing was quickly hidden before the entire field had made one lap.
AND! What's this Bull Snot about waiting 35 laps before telling anyone that they were going to look into one penalty infringement. Then announcing their findings after the podium celebrations.
I hope the excrement starts to impact the wind devise soon.

I remain convinced that the FIA is staffed by a troop of undertrained, malevolent, circus clowns.

They say the FIA stands for Ferrari International Assistance. Judging by your description of FIA staff, its sounds like Ferrari and the FIA are staffed by the same people. Question?

Good to see Aston absolutely lawyering the **** out of the stewards and race control to get Alonso's 100th podium back!

spcmafia · 03-20-2023, 11:21 AM

It was a pretty good race, but mostly from the rear of the grid. The pace of the RB is just absolutely insane. Didn't quite like what RB was trying to do to Perez, good on him for calling them out on it.

Kind of weird to deploy a full safety car after Stroll's retirement.

WolfpackS2k · 03-21-2023, 10:16 AM

The incompetence of the FIA's rule enforcement, and race management, blows my mind. Penalties seem to be applied willy nilly. It's a joke.

It's ironic that, in a sport so clearly defined by the technical wizardry and skill of its participants, the sanctioning body seems so utterly unable to remove its head from its anus.
