FORMULA 1 ROLEX GRANDE PRÊMIO DE SÃO PAULO 2023
Throw away all the oil money race tracks and have multiple races here
Probably my favorite race of the year, even though it was only a sprint. That brings my hopes up for tomorrow's race a lot.
Alpha Tauri looking good for the real race tomorrow.
Absolutely. And RIC is driving really well. He’s back! :D
Max and Lando went into the sunset
Best pace of the race from both
What an absolute stonker of a race! Possibly the best sprint this year. Hopefully the main race is also this entertaining!
Hats off to the direction and F1tv commentary!
Amazing how good are the Alpha Tauris at nursing the tires
Yeah, Yuki was a few tenths of a second faster than LeClerc in the last few laps after following LeClerc for the entire race. A few more laps and Yuki would've had a good chance to overtake LeClerc, which is insane to think about.
It was amusing to see Yuki be cautious this time, after the Mexico course-out. Just tried a little against Lewis and then backed down, anticipating he'll overtake him later easily. In Mexico he made that exact mistake. A beautiful rhyme.
Yes Yuki
He somehow managed to keep the same pace as LeClerc and pull away from Sainz. And the AT's tire degradation is clearly better than Ferrari's. He was a few tenths faster than LeClerc in the last couple of laps. Another 3 laps and he would've been ahead.
This sprint race might be the best of any race this season so far. So much going on.
OK, that was a sick pass of Perez by Hamilton. Goddamn.
Perez better pick it up.
Pretty exciting so far. Lots of close racing and overtaking.
Absolutely! Even before DRS there was a ton of action.
Ferraris: “Tasty tires! Nom, nom, nom!”
Those with some tire left must now push
Now this is pretty exciting
What a race
I always love those shots from the front where a car appears from another one to make a pass. Like what we just saw with Perez on Russell. Very cinematic.
What a fantastic sprint. Just pure, clean racing. Hope to have more of them in the future.
Am I crazy or is it way too advantageous to start second? Verstappen had the best line...
This isn't a bad place to start second, but Max had a bit better start and Lando was perhaps a bit too cautious with breaks going into the first corner.
Some tracks are like that, but I suppose we'll see what happens in the real race tomorrow. Though this practice/sprint race tends to ruin any surprises.
Norris could have moved over to cover verstappen off. For some reason he was too late.
Some tracks are like that, first isn’t always best unless you have the acceleration speed to keep ahead
I'm liking that Checo is proving on track that he can be the best number 2. Vamos Checo!
He was closest to his team mate?
He gained positions, kept it clean and widened the gap with Hamilton. Which is what he needs to do.
Ahh you mean number 2 in championship, not a number 2 driver.
HAM SAI RIC close!
The Alpha Tauris have good pace. TSU is right behind LEC.
Oof Lando dropped 2 places. Doesn't look like he tried to push hard on that first corner.
Perez down 2 places as well.
Danny only .3 behind Sainz..
He passed up Sainz! He passed up a Ferrari!
Then he lost the spot back to Sainz due to DRS, but still, that it happened at all!
I love this track
That GAS ALO battle!
SAI is lucky that RIC is right behind PIA, and distracts him, because the Ferraris are degrading like mad.
Giga chad Padre
The Maccas now starting to degrade too. PIA is slow.
LEC with nice pace, catching HAM.
Eat that ocon
Perez dropping back from Lando? Used up his tires working his way forwards, maybe..
Hamilton’s pace is gone
That was quite a race!
That was already entertaining before DRS was enabled.
