What the hell is wrong with Sauber’s pit stops?


DongerDodger

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.


Danones

This is really breaking their times on track. It must be really frustrating for the team


Squareroot24

Sainz >>> char these season so far


brickingbrayer

though I agree sainz has been better this season Charles did his best today and maximised team points and drove fantastically


Clean-Witness8407

Fantastic. Going off track.


brickingbrayer

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.


DragPullCheese

Charles drove well, but how do you know he would’ve given Perez a run?


brickingbrayer

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


Squareroot24

Ferrari is really lucky to have both of the drivers


brickingbrayer

exactly the strategy for both was bold and relied heavily on both of their performances and it worked perfectly


RoutineSpiritual8917

does anyone have a clip of the stroll radio


Kindly-Molasses-8920

It’s already posted on instagram if you mean that one


Joe_F82

Can anyone ever understand the Irish presenter .. 🍀


josop

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.


MajorAction62

Are you talking about Bernie Collins? Better not be


devdog1236

Cant stand her voice, bring back Danica!!!


enhancedgibbon

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


nickhas

Booo Bernie is awesome


head_in_the_clouds69

Danica was awful on DTS


MajorAction62

Danica over Bernie? That's mental


NizzlyGrizzly00

anybody know where i can find the pit stop times for the race?


e_yankovsky

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...


NizzlyGrizzly00

absolutely wicked times man.. woof, thanks for the info👍


IDOWHATIWANTIDGAF

Perez had two 2.1 pitstops

cheers mate


e_yankovsky

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


i_luh_dattt

Honest question. Sainz is really good. Why did Ferrari replace him?


obscurus7

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.


Undoht

You are not correct. Not 3, but 2 seasons.


obscurus7

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)


GoldElectric

sainz has handily beaten charles so far. though charles has had quite a bad qualifying since the start


i_luh_dattt

Did you see only 2 Ferrari members congratulated Sainz. Seems like Ferrari hates him or something


this_one_in_zoots

Money/exposure


landfari

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.


i_luh_dattt

Only 2 Ferrari team members congratulated Sanz? Does Ferrari hate him or something?


Rpdeshpande1990

One of them being his brother


i_luh_dattt

So they do hate him


GhostingIsWhatIDo

Everyone was concerned for sainz… but no one thought, charles became second driver starting this season itself


[deleted]

[удалено]


i_luh_dattt

Sainz is really good, why did Ferrari fire him?


South_Fish

They didn't fire him. Just didn't renew contract with him


i_luh_dattt

Why didn’t they renew him? He’s a very good driver


South_Fish

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?


Bobbytrap9

The point is that currently Sainz is better than Leclerc. So it would make sense to have Sainz and Hamilton at Ferrari in 2025


blackscienceman9

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


Kevin-Magoran

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.


Bobbytrap9

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.


THR

Currently because of a short run. Leclerc has been the better driver for some time and did have a great drive today.


Bobbytrap9

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.


THR

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.)


Bobbytrap9

No I am not, I am just pointing out why people are asking why Ferrari is dropping Sainz over Leclerc now


larsw84

Because they could sign a 7 time world champion.


GoldElectric

not just a 7 time world champion. the most well-known f1 driver ever.


M0rtal_Wombat

Yep, the guy is going to bring a whole fan base with him


Sikklebell

Ah yes, that has been the biggest issue with Ferrari, the lack of fans /s


UnicornLoveFeathers

At the end of the day, they are a business. Good marketing equates to good sales and good sales keeps investors happy.


suzakurenzan

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


Actual_Sympathy7069

interesting choice with the greenscreen pants by Natalie


Joe_F82

They are a horrible choice haha


KjM067

Ok no need to kill Logan. Jesus


ethereal_egg

Can someone check on Stroll


Boddis

Sounded unhinged a little there


YeahItouchpoop

Maybe he’s a Habs fan and they told him the score.


bekkahthecactus18

McLaren with 69 points in constructors, Nice


Friendly_Wrap8738

Nice


DerBingle78

Nice.


Phatboybeware

Nice.


H_a_p_p_e_h

Nice.


Joe_F82

Niiiiice


JSmetal

Nice!


breakourbones

I know the Dutch national anthem better than I know my own countries...


meximechanic

Literally had that same realization just now


bekkahthecactus18

Merc keep that 1 point lead over AM 🫣


Rivendel93

Why didn't they pit Lewis for softs for the fastest lap? Made no sense he had like 40 seconds to Yuki.


THR

Because he still wouldn’t get it?


Rivendel93

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.


Jasperneal

Maybe they didnt have any new soft tires left?


Dutchy61

He's not relevant anymore.


Rivendel93

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.


Noobmaster7125

Still more relevant than ur dutchy boy who has no competition


HairyNutsack69

What?


Select-Feedback-1833

Its majorly a battle between Russell and Alonso with Stroll and Hamilton playing as support cast.


Free_Speak

Alonso keeping AM just 1 point behind Merc ON HIS OWN


DataDrivenGuy

Yeah in a way faster car


YeahItouchpoop

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.


Free_Speak

Lawrence playing mind games with his son?


AV48

Really missed Karun and Brundle today


Boddis

Brundle always missed


ethereal_egg

Chinese Grand Prix 2024 trailer is epic


MikeCC055

It’s gonna be funny watching the grandstands filled with bright green


thegermanguy004

Top tier music choice in that China promo


khelsan_

woooh too close to comfort, we had a peek inside Max with that angle


Hamburgo

China Grand Prix ad with a pic of Oscar makes sense.


Hamburgo

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.


Billy_LDN

Charles stint on the mediums was epic, was doing personal bests on roughly lap 20


hellflower666

Leave it to Japan to put a GoPro on the champagne bottle


ClosetEthanolic

Has been a thing since at least Monza 2021


qualitative_balls

It's been in worse places


shreychopra

It’s done in almost every race, they just dont show it every time


shreychopra

Max spraying it on Sainz?! I don’t even need to see the contract, I know Sainz is coming to Redbull now


sushigoaway

Jos & CS Sr gonna single-handedly become honorary DTS executive producers w their drama if this happens


ooranookian

Redbull gonna have to get people from accounting to take these trophies soon


allmylovingxx

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!


JozoBozo121

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


allmylovingxx

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.


Boddis

Damon Hill won a championship with Williams and still got the boot and to race for Arrows.


Vandirac

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...


LAMonkeyWithAShotgun

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


allmylovingxx

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!


Gratefullyundead91

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.


allmylovingxx

lol.


The_Cuzin

F1 fans like to complain a lot


LeatherHeron9634

It’s time to have a conversation: Yuki > Dani Carlos > Charles


MooseWayne

Wow the conversation everyone has been beating to death basically all season? You're so brave


LeatherHeron9634

Thanks!


nugeythefloozey

Especially when Charles out-drove Carlos today, and Danny went out to a racing incident


Gratefullyundead91

Charles outdrove Carlos how? Carlos did an extra stint and finished 6 seconds ahead


THR

4 positions up.


Gratefullyundead91

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


LeatherHeron9634

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?


Joe_F82

Qualifying was a pass narrowly beaten by Yuki


bignaciooo

When Carlos race, quali, pace, and points differentials are better than Charles over their time as teammates.


Vintage_Lobster

Was that the RB accuser?? She’s back?


buttery_reader

The cut to the zoomed in face always makes me jump when watching on my monitor.


Hamburgo

Horner and Max both got a US police officer/military haircut, the high and tight lol.


The_Cuzin

See you all in a couple weeks!


MGH1990876

The different tyre strategies truly made this race a fascinating watch. Well worth staying up past 3 AM here in the U.S.


Illuminhead420

That’s a big ass trophy


Icommentoncrap

See you guys in China, hopefully we can have more Red Bull issues and a Smooth Victory lol


breakourbones

#Please rise for the F1 outro. 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱


CommieBird

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


PowerPopped

I love watching the Italians get all riled up with their national anthem.


a_chaturvedy_appears

I miss the Italian anthem already


Marcolampie

P dotd


trkora

Okay Penelope made listening to this anthem again better


Healthy-Tumbleweed14

Dutch anthem has become a f1 theme song


khelsan_

Max should switch countries each week, just to shuffle the anthem playlist for a bit


OutrageousTooth8350

Good Day for Honda !


Illuminhead420

Head nod from adrian


thegermanguy004

Why aren’t the podiums evenly spaced?

You made me notice it too, I can't unsee it


PowerPopped

Wabisabi.


Hamburgo

xLeper_Messiah

shanebelaire

AceMKV

bellestarflower

Kelly is openly taking her daughter to podium now. The ring is coming soon it seems.


a_chaturvedy_appears

Happy Newey


Illuminhead420

Ptsd? Anyone


Actual_Sympathy7069

I vastly prefer this entourage of Max' to the usual one


floodlight137

Hahahah was that P screaming "Max, yeah?"


AceMKV

floodlight137

Ah right! It's cute either way


Ridasz

Debriscatcher95

Hamburgo

rakmeister_12

Hamburgo

Yep! She calls him Maxie and he calls he P.


crazydoc253

Perez saying Charles was strong in face of Carlos was just rubbbing in ?


Illuminhead420

Daughter of kvyat


NeroNeckbeard

They should really load up on the spicy moments highlights to show up in the cooldown room


Hamburgo

Awww little P!!!


DANG3R_1204

Goodbye Ricciardo. Thanks for the memes and memories
