2024 Motorsports Thread

Red Bull's pace advantage over the field is at the highest it's been in the new regulations. Unless they get nerfed by rule change, the WDC and WCC is over until 2026. In hindsight the engine freeze was a massive mistake. If Ferrari/Mercedes were able to develop their PUs, they could maybe try to claw back the gap there but nope, Red Bull got an engine freeze at the most opportune time for them.

Thread seems a bit dead compared to years past.

Are you F1 guys getting bored with Red Bull's domination?

 

[fica]

No not getting bored but looks like media is and is trying to minimaze historic effect what max is doing. If lewis was this we would have headlines all oved.but i belive mefia is minimizing historic signifance of max domination intentionaly

 

[Gunny]

Hamilton’s done. Ferrari is going to have big time regrets as this season progresses

 

[NickNick]

That’s the only thing that will stop him. Why was he saying was stupid to his crew? Thats just bad luck.

It looked like he said "fucking stupid" but I've only seen it once. But yeah, a Max DNF via car problems is probably the only way we get a different winner this year.

Is Ferrari gonna screw Sainz here?

 

[NickNick]

So Max had a stuck rear brake and was still able to pull a second gap on the first lap until his brake eventually overheated and exploded, yikes.

Marco Andretti lost his rear end during the truck race at the Circuit of the Americas race in Texas. Looks like the track bar that keeps the axle centered broke causing the track arms that the axle in mounted to to break as he tried to limp it home.

I heard on NPR this morning that Liberty expects to give MotoGP the Netflix treatment, and get their very own version of Drive to Survive. Also, that they will look to bring a race to the US.

 

[LEWIS540]

So Ferrari have basically spent a fortune to replace there #1 driver with Mercedes' #2 driver, who is on the decline, right?

Potential to look really foolish?
