F1 2024: Saudi Arabian GP - Jeddah (Mar 9)

[GuidoK]

A very strong win from Max.
And Checo also having a very good race.
Bearman of course is the star of this race, what a debut.
Let's hope to see him next year in F1

I feel for Liam

For sure LAW deserves a spot in F1.
In the end he's the victim of PER mediocre driving last year and the year before.
RIC is there purely to take over from PER if he shouldn't perform this year.
Obviously RB wants a seasoned driver next to Max, that is also manageable to not race Max. (no HAM/ROS or SEN/PRO scenario's....)
RIC could be that guy... TSU not. And they can't ditch TSU because of Honda.

But in the end RIC, PER and TSU don't deserve to be in F1 nowadays imho (just like STR, ZHO and BOT..)
Still they're better than SAR...

That gap Norris was pulling on Lewis in high speed corners was insane.

If McLaren can figure out their efficiency with DRS open they will clearly be 3rd team on grid.

Constructors after two races,
RBR 87
Ferrari 50

I wouldn’t say worse. The W15 looks like a better car as a new concept vs the W13 and W14 with 2 years of development.

The battle between HAM and PIA tells you everything you need to know about the work Mercedes put into the W15 with one year of development.

We will see as the year goes on, but the RB20 has clearly demonstrated that Red Bull has locked down this set of regulations and should win both championships this year and next until the next changes happen.

Not looking good at all for him. He can't even match Tsunoda so all this talk about him being in the prime position for a possible RB seat is funny.
