FORMULA 1 PIRELLI UNITED STATES GRAND PRIX 2024
Well I guess we can say goodbye to the title fight. Norris has to win every race and with how good Ferrari look, that seems unlikely. Even red bull have clawed back some of the advantage so it's difficult for Lando gain 11 points per event.
I'll enjoy it for a little while longer. Max could get a DNF, I know it's unlikely but there's still some chaos to come with all these sprints and no practice sessions
The days of guaranteed chaos are over in F1, at least within these regulations. The drivers are higher quality than ever and the cars are more reliable than ever. This was what, the first safety car in 9 races or something like that? I remember a few years ago when a big deal was made of the first incident free F1 race ever (no red or yellow flags and all starting cars finishing the race) and now that is pretty much standard procedure.
I too will attempt to pretend the title race is still on, but I'm not exactly holding my breath.
The title race for constructor (and #2 in constructors too) definitely is still on.
I'm pretty sure Red Bull is not in contention for the WCC. Unless Perez turns around and can drive consistently into the top 4 next to Verstappen. Which I don't see happening. He will probably choke in Mexico again and drive the car into the walls.
Yeah same. It's preferable to Max having already won but I still think he'll do it
Max could get a DNF
This argument never made sense to me because so could Lando. Like the two possibilities (Max having a DNF and Lando having a DNF) offset each other
Sure, but it's simply to say the possibility exists until the last race, meaning the gap only needs to be < 26 for the final race for the championship battle to stay active. That's all
It was always going to be unlikely though. It was based purely on the condition that the field stays static.
Get the cork board and red sting out boys. It times to theorise about conspiracies
What happened to the Mickey Mouse-esque trophies? Disney sent their lawyer team?
Pirelli got rid of it on their press release website too.
Funny how Ferrari were far enough ahead that the broadcast just forgot about them
This has happened in the past where the broadcast would focus on the "Formula 1.5" battle behind the dominant Red Bull or Mercedes, but it's a nice place to be.
I genuinely think Lando should look more in his mirrors than ahead of him, because Charles is closer to P2 that land has ever been for P1 in the WDC.
It's so frustrating watching Norris vs Verstappen battles. Norris is without doubt absolutetly rapid, but I feel like his racecraft really needs to improve, in both defence and offence, especially with the very "dark grey" way that Verstappen defends. He doesn't seem to have any issue with cunting people off the track, I'd love to see people doing it to him more often.
Were there any teams that followed the recommended/predicted tyre strategies?
All the toppers did one-stops, which were not on the list. How about further down?
Magnussen did a 2-stop but it seemed like there was a issue with tyre/car that forced the 2nd stop (based on the urgency in the engineers voice).
On the BBC Radio 5 coverage they sent someone down to talk to Haas and it was just a routine pit stop apparently. Which, yeah, sure it was...
