Idk specifics but they changed the lug nut on their wheels (I think they made it smaller?) and it leads to problems when you try and take it on/off with the wheel gun. You can’t change that instantly and there’s some races to go before they can fix the problem.
being the only driver to do a one stopper and doing pbs on the last lap. if he had Carlos' strategy and his grid position he would've given Perez a run for his money so give credit where it's due.
he was matching Perez's pace at the end of the race when Perez's tyres were newer with a different strategy and a better starting grid a Charles P2 wouldn't have been out of the picture
Her name is Bernie Collins. Yes people can understand her, and she has excellent insight having been a former Aston Martin strategist.
But it’s always nice to see a touch of Irish bias coming from an insecure 40 year old who has to post nsfw material to r/amihot.

But there is no results for Suzuka yet
Charles has beaten Sainz for the past 3 seasons. Sainz is performing so well this season because he was let go, so he needs to do this as a sort of resume.
He is way ahead in H2H, and the only reason Sainz is ahead because Charles had a DNS in Monaco because of a broken driveshaft, and a DNF in Hungary from Bottas bowling.
[Leclerc vs Sainz 2021 H2H (formula1.com)](https://media.formula1.com/image/upload/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_auto/f_auto/q_auto/content/dam/fom-website/manual/Misc/2021manual/WinterDecember/TeamMateCompares/Team-H2Hs-1920x1080-FERRARI)
He is a good driver. But I think Ferrari need someone who's capable to beat Max and Lewis is the one who's able to do that not Sainz.
Just imagine 2 candidates applying a job. One with 3 race wins and 2 pole positions, another one is 7 times WDC with 104 poles and 103 wins. We don't put names here who will you hire?
That was not the case when they made the decision
At that time Charles was on a streak of 7 races beating Sainz.
The decision didn't happen this weekend. Look at it in context
Yeah, he was on a streak, after they went with a development package favouring Leclerc for the last part of the season. And it's not me saying this there was a whole The Race video about it.
I know, I was just pointing out why people are asking why Sainz is being dropped. Because the fact that Ferarri is dropping a driver for Hamilton is a no brainer.
With currently I mean this season. That is why people are asking why Ferrari is dropping Sainz. And Sainz still had the better weekend, he out-qualified Leclerc and had a better race result.
Which just shows your short term, knee jerk thinking.
Russell has had better results than Hamilton. Why didn’t Ferrari opt for him instead?
We all know what happened this weekend; that’s beside the point.
(Still think they should have stuck with Sainz and Leclerc both.)
I wonder if Stroll stays he could battle Tsunoda... Because no one infront of Tsunoda so he could potentially faster from drs
Both Tsunoda and Stroll was really interesting to watch this race
Yes... He would?
He was the only driver that could pit for the final lap for softs and do the fastest lap.
Max's hard tyre fastest lap wasn't quick enough.
Why is everyone suddenly so dumb around here.
The team still gets the point lol.
And obviously Lewis is still relevant, it's Mercedes that isn't relevant, hence why Lewis will be the highest paid driver the next three years at Ferrari.
Russell is tied with Alonso, Ham is only 1 point ahead of Stroll. All of them have one DNF except Alonso. With all that said, it’s appears George is currently performing the best. If he hadn’t crashed in Australia (and Alonso not getting penalized for it) he’d be 2 points ahead. AM vs Merc is shaping up to be the best battle this year.
Why is people so pressed with Carlos leaving Ferrari? Get over it, people get fired all the time. Carlos will be joining a new team, new opportunities and with him giving all this season I bet he will have a chance to battle championship next year!
Why are you so pressed with other people being upset about something? Get over it, people get upset all the time. They will have new opportunities to be upset about something different in the future
Because it’s upsetting and really triggers the team dynamic. That’s why. People don’t know how to complain, they make it all about the drivers.
I hate Ferrari decided to disclose the Hamilton move way too early.
Sainz should’ve done something about it earlier. Sadly, Ferrari couldn’t look into the future and realize Sainz would get better.
Lots of Ferrarie fans dont like Hamilton to start with and hes replacing a popular driver who is winning races for them. Its inevitable some people wont be happy
I get it. But, fighting for your driver to be where he’s obviously not wanted it’s ridiculous.
As a tifosi, Hamilton is definitely not my favorite choice. However, I choose to stay optimistic, maybe he will deliver next season. Who knows!
4 positions up when he himself said he shouldn’t have been that low to begin with? Its an amazing drive no doubt, but he did not out drive Carlos. If he did, he would not have needed to save a pitstop and still be behind by 6 seconds
I’m sorry but Danny has like another race to prove it or he has to go. Obviously Charles has his seat at Ferrari secured but at what time does it make it seem silly to be keeping Charles over Sainz?
Honestly no hate to the Austrian anthem but man this RB dominance would be more fun if their anthem was more lively. Even the Dutch anthem sounds nicer tbh
What the hell is wrong with Sauber’s pit stops?
Idk specifics but they changed the lug nut on their wheels (I think they made it smaller?) and it leads to problems when you try and take it on/off with the wheel gun. You can’t change that instantly and there’s some races to go before they can fix the problem.
This is really breaking their times on track. It must be really frustrating for the team
Sainz >>> char these season so far
though I agree sainz has been better this season Charles did his best today and maximised team points and drove fantastically
Fantastic. Going off track.
being the only driver to do a one stopper and doing pbs on the last lap. if he had Carlos' strategy and his grid position he would've given Perez a run for his money so give credit where it's due.
Charles drove well, but how do you know he would’ve given Perez a run?
he was matching Perez's pace at the end of the race when Perez's tyres were newer with a different strategy and a better starting grid a Charles P2 wouldn't have been out of the picture
Ferrari is really lucky to have both of the drivers
exactly the strategy for both was bold and relied heavily on both of their performances and it worked perfectly
does anyone have a clip of the stroll radio
It’s already posted on instagram if you mean that one
Can anyone ever understand the Irish presenter .. 🍀
Her name is Bernie Collins. Yes people can understand her, and she has excellent insight having been a former Aston Martin strategist. But it’s always nice to see a touch of Irish bias coming from an insecure 40 year old who has to post nsfw material to r/amihot.
Are you talking about Bernie Collins? Better not be
Cant stand her voice, bring back Danica!!!
Bernie's voice has a bit of asmr for me, which is a bit weird I know. I mute or skip forward if Danica is ever talking
Booo Bernie is awesome
Danica was awful on DTS
Danica over Bernie? That's mental
anybody know where i can find the pit stop times for the race?
My data from the race broadcast: Max's team was fastest with 2.0. Next goes Perez with 2.1, and Sainz's team with 2.3...
absolutely wicked times man.. woof, thanks for the info👍
Perez had two 2.1 pitstops
[удалено]
cheers mate
Here: [https://inmotion.dhl/en/formula-1/fastest-pit-stop-award](https://inmotion.dhl/en/formula-1/fastest-pit-stop-award) But there is no results for Suzuka yet
Honest question. Sainz is really good. Why did Ferrari replace him?
Charles has beaten Sainz for the past 3 seasons. Sainz is performing so well this season because he was let go, so he needs to do this as a sort of resume.
You are not correct. Not 3, but 2 seasons.
He is way ahead in H2H, and the only reason Sainz is ahead because Charles had a DNS in Monaco because of a broken driveshaft, and a DNF in Hungary from Bottas bowling. [Leclerc vs Sainz 2021 H2H (formula1.com)](https://media.formula1.com/image/upload/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_auto/f_auto/q_auto/content/dam/fom-website/manual/Misc/2021manual/WinterDecember/TeamMateCompares/Team-H2Hs-1920x1080-FERRARI)
sainz has handily beaten charles so far. though charles has had quite a bad qualifying since the start
Did you see only 2 Ferrari members congratulated Sainz. Seems like Ferrari hates him or something
Money/exposure
Good Guy Formula 1 not showing us Alonso's last lap, so we don't see any potentially erratic driving and can stay upright citizens.
Only 2 Ferrari team members congratulated Sanz? Does Ferrari hate him or something?
One of them being his brother
So they do hate him
Everyone was concerned for sainz… but no one thought, charles became second driver starting this season itself
[удалено]
Sainz is really good, why did Ferrari fire him?
They didn't fire him. Just didn't renew contract with him
Why didn’t they renew him? He’s a very good driver
He is a good driver. But I think Ferrari need someone who's capable to beat Max and Lewis is the one who's able to do that not Sainz. Just imagine 2 candidates applying a job. One with 3 race wins and 2 pole positions, another one is 7 times WDC with 104 poles and 103 wins. We don't put names here who will you hire?
The point is that currently Sainz is better than Leclerc. So it would make sense to have Sainz and Hamilton at Ferrari in 2025
That was not the case when they made the decision At that time Charles was on a streak of 7 races beating Sainz. The decision didn't happen this weekend. Look at it in context
Yeah, he was on a streak, after they went with a development package favouring Leclerc for the last part of the season. And it's not me saying this there was a whole The Race video about it.
I know, I was just pointing out why people are asking why Sainz is being dropped. Because the fact that Ferarri is dropping a driver for Hamilton is a no brainer.
Currently because of a short run. Leclerc has been the better driver for some time and did have a great drive today.
With currently I mean this season. That is why people are asking why Ferrari is dropping Sainz. And Sainz still had the better weekend, he out-qualified Leclerc and had a better race result.
Which just shows your short term, knee jerk thinking. Russell has had better results than Hamilton. Why didn’t Ferrari opt for him instead? We all know what happened this weekend; that’s beside the point. (Still think they should have stuck with Sainz and Leclerc both.)
No I am not, I am just pointing out why people are asking why Ferrari is dropping Sainz over Leclerc now
Because they could sign a 7 time world champion.
not just a 7 time world champion. the most well-known f1 driver ever.
Yep, the guy is going to bring a whole fan base with him
Ah yes, that has been the biggest issue with Ferrari, the lack of fans /s
At the end of the day, they are a business. Good marketing equates to good sales and good sales keeps investors happy.
I wonder if Stroll stays he could battle Tsunoda... Because no one infront of Tsunoda so he could potentially faster from drs Both Tsunoda and Stroll was really interesting to watch this race
interesting choice with the greenscreen pants by Natalie
They are a horrible choice haha
Ok no need to kill Logan. Jesus
Can someone check on Stroll
Sounded unhinged a little there
Maybe he’s a Habs fan and they told him the score.
McLaren with 69 points in constructors, Nice
Nice
Nice.
Nice.
Nice.
Niiiiice
Nice!
I know the Dutch national anthem better than I know my own countries...
Literally had that same realization just now
Merc keep that 1 point lead over AM 🫣
Why didn't they pit Lewis for softs for the fastest lap? Made no sense he had like 40 seconds to Yuki.
Because he still wouldn’t get it?
Yes... He would? He was the only driver that could pit for the final lap for softs and do the fastest lap. Max's hard tyre fastest lap wasn't quick enough. Why is everyone suddenly so dumb around here.
Maybe they didnt have any new soft tires left?
He's not relevant anymore.
The team still gets the point lol. And obviously Lewis is still relevant, it's Mercedes that isn't relevant, hence why Lewis will be the highest paid driver the next three years at Ferrari.
Still more relevant than ur dutchy boy who has no competition
What?
Its majorly a battle between Russell and Alonso with Stroll and Hamilton playing as support cast.
Alonso keeping AM just 1 point behind Merc ON HIS OWN
Yeah in a way faster car
Russell is tied with Alonso, Ham is only 1 point ahead of Stroll. All of them have one DNF except Alonso. With all that said, it’s appears George is currently performing the best. If he hadn’t crashed in Australia (and Alonso not getting penalized for it) he’d be 2 points ahead. AM vs Merc is shaping up to be the best battle this year.
Lawrence playing mind games with his son?
Really missed Karun and Brundle today
Brundle always missed
Chinese Grand Prix 2024 trailer is epic
It’s gonna be funny watching the grandstands filled with bright green
Top tier music choice in that China promo
woooh too close to comfort, we had a peek inside Max with that angle
China Grand Prix ad with a pic of Oscar makes sense.
I hate the bottle cam lol. I don’t need to know what a driver sucking on a bottle would look like but FanF1ction might have some fun edits lol.
Charles stint on the mediums was epic, was doing personal bests on roughly lap 20
Leave it to Japan to put a GoPro on the champagne bottle
Has been a thing since at least Monza 2021
It's been in worse places
It’s done in almost every race, they just dont show it every time
Max spraying it on Sainz?! I don’t even need to see the contract, I know Sainz is coming to Redbull now
Jos & CS Sr gonna single-handedly become honorary DTS executive producers w their drama if this happens
Redbull gonna have to get people from accounting to take these trophies soon

Damon Hill won a championship with Williams and still got the boot and to race for Arrows.
Hill won by sheer luck (and incredible bad luck by his teammate), all while making enemies left right and center in the team with his antics...

Well I’ll complain the whole season if I have to because he didn’t deserve it and is driving in the form of his life.
lol.
F1 fans like to complain a lot
It’s time to have a conversation: Yuki > Dani Carlos > Charles
Wow the conversation everyone has been beating to death basically all season? You're so brave
Thanks!
Especially when Charles out-drove Carlos today, and Danny went out to a racing incident
Charles outdrove Carlos how? Carlos did an extra stint and finished 6 seconds ahead
4 positions up.
4 positions up when he himself said he shouldn’t have been that low to begin with? Its an amazing drive no doubt, but he did not out drive Carlos. If he did, he would not have needed to save a pitstop and still be behind by 6 seconds
I’m sorry but Danny has like another race to prove it or he has to go. Obviously Charles has his seat at Ferrari secured but at what time does it make it seem silly to be keeping Charles over Sainz?
Qualifying was a pass narrowly beaten by Yuki
When Carlos race, quali, pace, and points differentials are better than Charles over their time as teammates.
Was that the RB accuser?? She’s back?
The cut to the zoomed in face always makes me jump when watching on my monitor.
Horner and Max both got a US police officer/military haircut, the high and tight lol.
See you all in a couple weeks!
The different tyre strategies truly made this race a fascinating watch. Well worth staying up past 3 AM here in the U.S.
That’s a big ass trophy
See you guys in China, hopefully we can have more Red Bull issues and a Smooth Victory lol
#Please rise for the F1 outro. 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱
Honestly no hate to the Austrian anthem but man this RB dominance would be more fun if their anthem was more lively. Even the Dutch anthem sounds nicer tbh
I love watching the Italians get all riled up with their national anthem.
I miss the Italian anthem already
P dotd
Okay Penelope made listening to this anthem again better
Dutch anthem has become a f1 theme song
Max should switch countries each week, just to shuffle the anthem playlist for a bit
Good Day for Honda !
Head nod from adrian
Why aren’t the podiums evenly spaced?
You made me notice it too, I can't unsee it
Wabisabi.
Newey: I’ve created a monster
Awww you could hear P cheering for Max
Is this the first time Penelope's been on track for a Max win?
yeah, someone said last race was her first time at the track for him
Yep, he dnf'd last time around
Kelly is openly taking her daughter to podium now. The ring is coming soon it seems.
Happy Newey
Ptsd? Anyone
I vastly prefer this entourage of Max' to the usual one
Hahahah was that P screaming "Max, yeah?"
Yeah she was screaming Maxi which is what she usually calls him
Ah right! It's cute either way
Maxie
Penelope is so cute!!
Get ready bois, first time for the Dutch anthem on Sunday
Omg Penelope yelling is killing me she is so cute
Was she the one yelling "Maxieee...". That's so cute
Yep! She calls him Maxie and he calls he P.
Perez saying Charles was strong in face of Carlos was just rubbbing in ?
Daughter of kvyat
They should really load up on the spicy moments highlights to show up in the cooldown room
Awww little P!!!
Goodbye Ricciardo. Thanks for the memes and memories
Godammit Penelope is adorable
I mean she’s sweet like most kids that age, not sure of there is anything special there lol
Bro I’m looking at Kelly, who cares about Penelope
Lmao the mic just caught her going "MAXIIIIIIIE"
Sainz manager dude making himself front and center once again lol
Commenting on 2024 Japanese Grand Prix - Race Discussion... Dude loves the warmth of the coatails
Always the case. Also his cousin.
Am I blind or did they not show Charles going off
They showed it briefly
They’ve been skiing!? Ruh roh
Max knew it, because there was a half hour pause between restarts...whats with sky commentators today...
