    Driver standings:

    1. Max Verstappen - 429
    2. Lando Norris - 349
    3. Charles Leclerc - 341
    4. Oscar Piastri - 291
    5. Carlos Sainz - 272
    6. George Russell - 235
    7. Lewis Hamilton - 211
    8. Sergio Perez - 152
    9. Fernando Alonso - 68
    10. Nico Hulkenberg - 37
    11. Pierre Gasly - 36
    12. Yuki Tsunoda - 30
    13. Lance Stroll - 24
    14. Esteban Ocon - 23
    15. Kevin Magnussen - 16
    16. Alexander Albon - 12
    17. Daniel Ricciardo - 12
    18. Oliver Bearman - 7
    19. Franco Colapinto - 5
    20. Zhou Guanyu - 4
    21. Liam Lawson - 4
    22. Valtteri Bottas - 0
    23. Logan Sargeant - 0

    Of note - Charles is only 8 points behind Lando, so that race is definitely live. At the bottom, Jack Doohan will finish behind Logan Sargeant unless he gets points (Logan's best is an 11th, so matching this won't bump Doohan ahead of him).

    Constructors standings:

    1. McLaren Mercedes - 640
    2. Ferrari - 619
    3. Red Bull Racing Honda RBPT - 581
    4. Mercedes - 446
    5. Aston Martin Aramco Mercedes - 92
    6. Alpine Renault - 59
    7. Haas Ferrari - 54
    8. RB Honda RBPT - 46
    9. Williams Mercedes - 17
    10. Kick Sauber Ferrari - 4

    21 points between McLaren and Ferrari is not insurmountable, but McLaren have to be favourites. Red Bull are locked in 3rd, Mercedes are locked in 4th.

    Barring a miracle which won't happen, Aston will stay 5th. It's close then between Alpine, Haas and RB - you have to assume RB will continue to be terrible so it's a toss-up between Haas and Alpine - I think Haas are slight favourites to get more points, but they need to get 6 more than Alpine (as Alpine have the podium as best result).

    William will be 9th, Sauber will be 10th.

    Cheers @dulpit was in the middle of starting a new thread and just noticed a red dot notification.

    Hoping for a good last race and some Drivers on their last races for their teams go all Royal Rumble.

    There's also a championship showdown in F2. There's only half a point separating Hadjar and Bortoleto so that's something to watch aswell

    Arthur LeClerc is in Carlos's car for FP1, yep, the brother of Charles. Bunch of other rookies taking part of this session too.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,255 ✭✭✭rameire


    Loads of Rookies taking part in the Free Practice 1 now.

    Charles Leclerc and his brother Arthur are driving the Ferrari cars in the same session.

  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,723 Mod ✭✭✭✭Andrew76


    Problems with Charles's car so he's still to get out unfortunately. Interesting his brother is showing up as LEL in the driver list graphic, suppose they couldn't have two LEC.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,397 ✭✭✭✭Busi_Girl08


    Looks like LeClerc will have a grid penalty for Sunday. Power unit to be replaced I believe



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,750 ✭✭✭✭dulpit


    Oh that's a kick in the teeth for his push for 2nd (and Ferrari's push for the constructor's).

    It's his ERS, 10 place penalty. Confirmed here:

    Rolling my eyes listening to Crofty during FP2 - he’s banging on about 2021 again and the safety car. For. ****. Sake. Move on lad.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,067 ✭✭✭Hijpo


    Garaunteed to bring it up every session, either directly or through some kind of remark.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45 Barrett


    And that is very much the end of any hopes for Ferrari winning the WCC.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,750 ✭✭✭✭dulpit


    Simon Lazenby, Danica Patrick and Anthony Davidson on the f1 show today.

    Scraping the barrel of pundits...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,255 ✭✭✭rameire


    Max, George is all they are talking about this weekend.

    Got to watch one minute before little monster went mad. Sainz engine was looked to be throwing out smoke. Yikes.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,876 ✭✭✭blackbox


    I thought Sky had got rid of Brundle.



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,723 Mod ✭✭✭✭Andrew76


    Thankfully not. He doesn’t do all the races anymore, probably a combination of cost cutting and trying to bring in other pundits for the future. Would be good if his son Alex gets a more permanent gig on the main broadcast, he’s very good.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,787 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    Just turned in. Jesus help us it’s nico rosberg and Danica Patrick, two people who can used loads of words and actually say the square root of **** all.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,346 ✭✭✭PsychoPete


    Alex Jacques is leaving the F2 commentary gig so I'd be surprised if Alex Brundle wasn't first in line for that

    Perez gets his lap time back - strange, but looked like the correct call.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,775 ✭✭✭✭ctrl-alt-delete


    Hamilton out in Q1



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,723 Mod ✭✭✭✭Andrew76


    Eh Hamilton has a bollard stuck under his car??



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,346 ✭✭✭PsychoPete


    Ohhh P18 for Hamilton for his final race at Merc is going to sting



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,787 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy




  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 34,396 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    Hamilton's final start with the Merc from 18th - ouch

    The bollard really messed him up.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,775 ✭✭✭✭ctrl-alt-delete


    KMAG playing Mario Kart there, hit a bollard under Hamilton which he kept under there for quite some time.



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,723 Mod ✭✭✭✭Andrew76


    Kmag punted the bollard onto the track and Lewis collected it. How unlucky is that.



  • Moderators, Motoring & Transport Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 700 CMod ✭✭✭✭LIGHTNING


    lol of course it was Kmag

    Never mind Ham...Bottas in second place in Q1 .179 secs behind Lec. Like wtf!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,407 ✭✭✭✭Jordan 199


    Has Kmag knocked over a bollard? He haas!



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,723 Mod ✭✭✭✭Andrew76


    That was Russell impeding Lawson.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,775 ✭✭✭✭ctrl-alt-delete


    Lawson complaining about Russell?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,346 ✭✭✭PsychoPete


    Grid penalty for Russell for blocking Lawson.....



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,787 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy

    It's going to be strange seeing Lewis in red next year.



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 34,396 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    Go on the Hulk. He's got some speed.

    Good man Bottas!

    Disaster for LeClerc and Ferrari.



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 34,396 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    Oh Dear.... Charles is down to Last !



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,346 ✭✭✭PsychoPete


    What a disaster for Leclerc



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 34,396 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    Delighted for Bottas!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,407 ✭✭✭✭Jordan 199


    Ze boys in Hinwill, Ingolstadt und Wolfsburg vill be happy. Suhr gut!



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,723 Mod ✭✭✭✭Andrew76


    That was poor from LeClerc, just needed a banker to get into Q3, get as high as possible before the engine penalty kicks in.



  • Moderators, Motoring & Transport Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 700 CMod ✭✭✭✭LIGHTNING


    He is my driver of the year. Sure Max crushed it but its nearly expected.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,112 ✭✭✭✭klose


    Butt clenching moment from max there



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,723 Mod ✭✭✭✭Andrew76


    Lol did Max keep that within the track limits? 😁



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,876 ✭✭✭blackbox


    Max came close to crossing the line in reverse!
