F1 2024: Japanese GP - Suzuka (Apr 7)

GuidoK · 04-07-2024, 02:18 AM

Wow that was some close pit stop strategy, LEC stays in front of RUS, but NOR looses out on RUS.

It looks like ferrari has solved at least 1 of their last year' achilles heels, tyre degradation.

But nice overtake from NOR on RUS.

LEC also as a nice empty stretch in front of him (6,5sec), so he might finish pretty high.
Possibly a podium?

Yeah my friend . I got a Bimmerpost red flag too !

RB is still fantastic at pit stops. Most teams are pretty close (2.3 - 2.6 sec), but last pitstop for Checo: 2.1sec, last pitstop for Max: 2.0sec!

MAX and Checo swap to hards as CAR swipes into the lead but only for a short time as MAX jumps him and waiting for SER to do the same...

GuidoK · 04-07-2024, 02:34 AM

Hmmm....LEC isn't particularly fast on his new hards.
Checo is much faster (only slightly younger (7 laps) hards) and even NOR looks a bit faster.

M5Rick · 04-07-2024, 02:37 AM

YUKI in the points as the Japanese must be going wild!

LAN is closing on Charlie, can he hang on for third with 11 laps to go..

GuidoK · 04-07-2024, 02:41 AM

Are we gonna see a podiumfight between SAI and LEC?

SAI is gaining on NOR fast!

And of course SAR gets off track....

GuidoK · 04-07-2024, 02:44 AM

And SAI passes NOR.

The fight between the ferrari's for P3 is on!

M5Rick · 04-07-2024, 02:44 AM

The Sarge goes off but reverses back to take last place from GAS.

It's gonna be a dog fight with the reds! SAI is told he can fight Chas!!

*and he gets past... Chas must be dejected.

GuidoK · 04-07-2024, 02:47 AM

And SAI passes LEC!

LEC had the perfect 1 stop strategy, but 2 stop is better and SAI started higher on the grid of course.

SAI now also the fastest lap, a welcome point for him.

RUS will get a penalty in his fight with Piastri ...

GuidoK · 04-07-2024, 02:55 AM

And Max wanted that FL point....so.....

Lance is lapped by MAX and this could help TSU to get that one point holding up Lance.

///M Power-Belgium · 04-07-2024, 02:56 AM

MAX just pushed the fastest lap with 2 laps to go !
