What do the Mexicans use in their tarmac ?? I've heard of oil based but this is taking it too far

Red Bull had to change MAX's HONDA PU . It's a PU from the pool to avoid a grid penalty.

Sounds not good (!)

Indeed, a grid penalty for Max now could cost him the WDC...

I can see Checo with his KitKat helmet ...

"Hopefully" he can reach Q3 in his home race (!)

The Merc engine is I think both the most reliable and in general the most powerful engine on the grid.

GuidoK · 10-26-2024, 05:19 PM

wow...both PIA and PER at risk in Q1...

edit: and both are out.....

And Checo is knocked out (again)! He should look for another job ..

Ferrari will take P2 in the WCC.

And Piastri is knocked out too ...

Yeah . It looks like the Benz's PU's last forever..

GuidoK · 10-26-2024, 05:27 PM

One wonders what's happening at Haas...
now 2 cars currently in the top 10...
I liked Steiner as a crazy blunt teamboss, but since Komatsu leads the team, the progress has been stunning over there.

Chas is all over the place, not a lot of time left for him to avoid being dropped in Q2.
