MikeO Posted July 24, 2023 Report Share Posted July 24, 2023 Ferrari have fallen off a cliff, Aston Martin too. McLaren still a long way behind them in the constructor standings but if they keep up their recent form could be interesting.

Norris completely wrecked his floor in Q1 & Piastri has said the track drying didnāt help him as he has never driven that track dry before so left a lot of time out there for breaking distances ect. Positive signs though, Piastri is going to be some driver though. MikeO and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the most exciting driving pair on the grid right now for potential. Hope Mclaren can continue to progress the car to match them.

MikeO Posted July 29, 2023 Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 What is the actual point of taking full wets to every race? When the weather calls for them the stewards stop the racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the weather calls for them the stewards stop the racing. It's because these bigger cars give off more spray so the drivers can literally see nothing and it's dangerous. Why they didn't start the race when it was dry instead of giving it another half an hour until the start time is ridiculous though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your guess is as good as mine, Mike, but as I understand it that lack of visibility was responsible for death of that young driver at the same tract a month ago.
