The Official 2023 F1 Thread

Great F1 series to watch if you can get Discovery +. It is called "Lucky" and is a trip through the years from Bernie Ecclestones point of view. A good watch, very nostalgic.

I need to check that out!

Bernie is a bit of an enigma.

The RB win streak is over.
I imagine they decided to try something really different for the car to see how it will perform next year. Having pretty much wrapped up both championships already, getting ready for next year is their focus.

That went from the most boring race of the season to the best race of the season. Worth watching if you're catching it on replay!

One of that races when you enjoy to watch who will win the race.
Carlos did a perfect job today and deserved win for Ferrari although I was afraid of both Mer drivers at the end.

Nice to see Ferrari get P1. Looks like Charles is becoming #2. His race pace has been off since early 2022. No one is better than Max. His P5 was almost close to P4. The Merc are now #3. They couldn't pass Lando (whom drove a good race). The British so called "Press" are saying Carlos slowed the pace. Didn't Prost say the slowest race will get you wins.

That was a great last 10 laps...Even F1 drivers can red mist ..Russel was so focused on passing Lando he forgot where he was..Plus he was in hotter dirty air at 100% ..Hammo had less tire deg sailing behind him. Still nice to see almighty RB stuck with a slower car and offside tire strategy..

I was not a fan of the pediatric color commentary,,, Maybe for 50% race distance, then bring in the adults..

Also it was nice to hear the Italian Anthem, very stirring and the guys singing, ect..

I watched the opening few laps before flying out of town for work. I saw the end of the race at the airport bar, but didn’t have focus as I was getting ready to board my plane.

Need ti watch the race on replay as it does sound as if it was an exciting race.

Suzuka is this weekend. RB is already back on form undoing last weeks experiment.
