New track layout this year too - they've gotten rid of some slow corners towards the end of the lap after the turn 15 bend. Will make for a faster lap and looks like it might be an overtaking opportunity.

Old layout:

New layout:

This footage from the F1 game shows the difference - coming out of turn 14 (1:17s) it looks like a decent blast down to the next proper corner at 16.

While Max can't clinch the drivers title here. Red Bull could become beyond reach if Mercedes-Benz have a mare.

flazio · 13-09-2023 6:46pm

If any of you remember TWR Arrows from the late 90s early 00s and wonder what they would look like today.

McLaren liveries have been poor this year...

dulpit · 14-09-2023 12:32pm

The Williams looks tasty though...

Bonkers looking sidepods on the AT this week. Those are aggressive.

All the liveries have been poor this year

It would be nice if those upgrades bumped them up a few places and hopefully Lawson and Yuki have a clean weekend so we can better compare them. Liam doing a decent job so far to be fair to him.

Longing · 15-09-2023 10:27am

I don't like the new changes. The took away ironic part of the track for me represented Singapore GP. Its like taking out 130R Suzuka , Eau-rouge at Spa or taking away the tunnel in Monaco.

Longing · 15-09-2023 10:42am

Sky at it again another dig at Max from that tool Ted.

PsychoPete · 15-09-2023 11:25am

Didn't they change it because there was some kind of building work going on ?

Yeah it's for redevelopment work IIRC

Vicxas · 15-09-2023 2:14pm

That Gulf livery is just beautiful

Andrew76 · 15-09-2023 3:29pm

Red Bull with a bit of work to do tonight to close the gap to Ferrari, 7 tenths off the pace in FP2 there I see. Bit of a bogey track for them.

Frank Bullitt · 15-09-2023 4:50pm

We could have a great qulay on our hands. Not making any guesses on the race though, this is a bit of a lottery.

I would expect RB to improve, but Ferrari look to have the upper hand, and Merc and Alonso not too far off either.

This is it · 15-09-2023 9:20pm

All well and good getting pole but Ferrari will fall off in the race, will be lucky to have one in the podium.

flazio · 16-09-2023 5:21am

Annual reminder of what can happen at the start if Verstappen is sandwiched between 2 Ferraris

yeah we really need another omnishambles to give this dead season a bit of life/excitment for its last few races but sadly we all know it wont happen and max will go crusing off into the distance and win by like 40 seconds or something

Busi_Girl08 · 16-09-2023 1:28pm

The 2 red bulls have been struggling since yesterday with car updates (wing changes I think?). Could shake things up a bit today and tomorrow?

NinjaTruncs · 16-09-2023 1:34pm

Based on past experiences with the Ferrari's is still expect Max to win even if he's starting 3rd with the two Ferrari's ahead. His biggest risk will be getting out of turn 1 without incident.

Worst case for Max would be for Russell to be either alongside or on the row behind him.

Jordan 199 · 16-09-2023 1:55pm

Metallica....yeah!

Brundle seems to balance it off at least. I didn't hear Max's comments, but it must have been something along the lines of the car not being acceptable.

Martin said it could come across as petulent but that it is one of the reasons why he is a multiple world champion.

Most of the drivers out there come across as great guys on the radio when it is going well and the opposite when it is not.

Andrew76 · 16-09-2023 2:00pm

Looking at the free practice sessions Max will do well to get onto the second row of the grid, proper struggling they are.

ctrl-alt-delete · 16-09-2023 2:10pm

Some close times among the top runners here, might see someone visiting a wall giving it all for pole.

Andrew76 · 16-09-2023 2:13pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121118234#Comment_121118234

Yeah this is very tight. Going to be a great quali, up there with Monaco this year maybe.

Itssoeasy · 16-09-2023 2:17pm

For some reason my post didn’t eh post but yeah the closeness of the times with the top 16 covered by a second and it was haas saying the track improvement of over half a second.

ctrl-alt-delete · 16-09-2023 2:18pm

Look at that for track evolution, no wonder they are all out!

Andrew76 · 16-09-2023 2:19pm

Jesus that’s some track evolution!

ctrl-alt-delete · 16-09-2023 2:19pm

There is the visit to the wall, Stroll brings out the red flag.

Not much left of that car.

Andrew76 · 16-09-2023 2:19pm

Holy ****! Red flag surely?

Andrew76 · 16-09-2023 2:20pm

Nice, Stroll is ok. Big hit that.

Itssoeasy · 16-09-2023 2:20pm

Big shunt for lance stroll. Jesus.

Faugheen · 16-09-2023 2:21pm

That was a massive shunt.

Can’t remember the last time seeing a crash like that on board. Thankfully he’s alright.

ctrl-alt-delete · 16-09-2023 2:21pm

Looked like a lucky redbull following through there too.

Some mess.

PsychoPete · 16-09-2023 2:22pm

Ohh that's a nasty crash from Stroll

Itssoeasy · 16-09-2023 2:24pm

If you want a show of how much the safety features have improved in an F1 car, that shows it.

Andrew76 · 16-09-2023 2:24pm

The wheel tethers ripped off too. Some whack that.

Infoanon · 16-09-2023 2:24pm

Glad to see that Stroll is ok but that should have been an immediate red flag , luckily no other car collected the Aston Martin.

stesaurus · 16-09-2023 2:24pm

He's a danger to others at this point. He shouldn't be anywhere near F1

16-09-2023 2:26pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121118357#Comment_121118357

seriously???

Burkie1203 · 16-09-2023 2:26pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121118357#Comment_121118357

Plenty of world champions have had similar crashes. I guess they shouldn't be near F1 either?

KillerShamrock · 16-09-2023 2:30pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121118357#Comment_121118357

100% he shouldnt be in a f1 car at all and wouldnt if it wasnt for his daddy

Cool_CM · 16-09-2023 2:30pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121118357#Comment_121118357

Ah yeah, sure nobody has ever crashed before.

People used to say the same about Max and there was a website counting the time since his last crash:

Burkie1203 · 16-09-2023 2:30pm

Piastri the big loser there

ricimaki · 16-09-2023 2:32pm

The head movement in that crash was crazy. He must have concussion or something after that.

ctrl-alt-delete · 16-09-2023 2:33pm

Might make things a bit more difficult for Max if he gets done for impeding there. It did sound like there was an issue on the radio.
