Yep you're right, feckin sky app!

This could actually be an exciting race. Could be a track that doesn't suit Red Bull which leaves the door open a bit for Mercedes and McLaren to potentially take a win, or maybe even Ferrari. Hard to look past Verstappen though all things considered. Unfortunately it's another sprint weekend so we should have a good idea of who has good race pace before the race starts.

Checo needs a big performance to solidify second in the championship. He's arguably the driver under the most pressure for the remaining races. Personally I feel he's leaving it too little too late unless he comes away with 2/3 wins, but if he loses second place to Hamilton it'll be devastating for him.

I fully expect a Hamilton masterclass this weekend, the man just comes alive at Interlagos

Especially when he has a spicy engine. 😜

Turn the engine up to 11 and it's hammer time

dulpit · 01-11-2023 12:12pm

I wouldn't call myself a Hamilton fan at all - but I really hope that he beats Perez to 2nd in the championship.

Frank Bullitt · 01-11-2023 8:48pm

I do like this track, one of the older ones left on the track that still has its character.

Hard to look past RB/Max though...again

Andrew76 · 02-11-2023 5:12pm

Watching a bit of the drivers press conference - Stroll has the look of a man who’s lost interest on the sport. He had a bigger smile talking about golf.

Golf, a game you can swing to.

Jordan 199 · 03-11-2023 5:05pm

Interlagos to stay on calendar until 2030.

PsychoPete · 03-11-2023 6:01pm

Ferrari quickest over all, hopefully a sign of things to come over the weekend. Good chance of RedBull struggling this weekend with the slow corners

Red Bull only ran hard tyres, atl east to set times, while the Ferrari's used softs to set their fastest time.

Slow corners is the weakest part of that RedBull so hopefully they are off the pace like last year

Itssoeasy · 03-11-2023 6:35pm

Not against Friday evening live F1 but I can’t stand the sprint weekends. Also 👍 on the thread title being logical and calling this race what we know it actually is.

Frank Bullitt · 03-11-2023 6:40pm

Hard to read anything so far, RB used just hards in FP1 so I get the feeling they are confident of their setup already.

Jordan 199 · 03-11-2023 6:57pm

Good evening.

Frank Bullitt · 03-11-2023 6:58pm

Start delayed

Itssoeasy · 03-11-2023 7:04pm

guenther says water like someone from this country. Haha.

Andrew76 · 03-11-2023 7:14pm

Piastri not driven this track before.

Itssoeasy · 03-11-2023 7:18pm

60% chance of rain for the session.

PsychoPete · 03-11-2023 7:24pm

Russell has been making a lot of silly mistakes lately

Itssoeasy · 03-11-2023 7:31pm

So Lewis in P8 needs to use a new set as they aren’t confident of getting into Q2. Love it in general as it means the track is ramping up.

PsychoPete · 03-11-2023 7:36pm

Big contrast for Alpha Tauri from Mexico

Andrew76 · 03-11-2023 7:37pm

Some drivers not staying to the left when they come out if there pit lane, that will surely be a reprimand or something similar.

Frank Bullitt · 03-11-2023 7:38pm

Love the shorter tracks, the gaps are so much more compressed so it really ups the stakes.

Itssoeasy · 03-11-2023 7:49pm

Well if the drivers won’t even try to do what they’ve been asked by the stewards then yes they should expect to be called on it.
