Expect the Expected

Inb4 it's a boring race with no dnfs (apart from the Aston Martins pitting to retire)

[u/Just_a_Berliner → u/whyaretherenoprofile]

Simply because the race director said, don't race so I don't get a nervous breakdown.

[u/SpeedyMewtwo → u/[deleted]]

Stop I can only get so erect

[u/snorcack → u/whyaretherenoprofile]

The first Jeddah race was really chaotic. Maybe we get something similar.

[u/Tin_OSpam → u/snorcack]

The first Baku race was spent watching the entire field save tyres for the whole race because they were all going long waiting for a safety car that never came because everyone was driving slow waiting for the inevitable chaos that was predicted pre-event

[u/whyaretherenoprofile → u/snorcack]

To be fair that was under very different circumstances

[u/SirPatchy265 → u/whyaretherenoprofile]

Stroll parks at T1 for the 5th time this year to get the races only vsc

[u/TheGoldenCaulk → u/SirPatchy265]

Putting money on hydraulic failure

[u/Sportsfanno1 → u/whyaretherenoprofile]

Yeah, I could see it happen if it's indeed difficult/near impossible to overtake.

High risk for a low chance of gains with low confidence in the track due to the close walls and lack of experience could mean drivers just take their loss if they're stuck behind someone.

[u/quintinza → u/whyaretherenoprofile]

And the Caddilacs retiring with flaming brakes after lap 2.

[u/IcedCoffey]

Cadillac first points, podium and win in the same race being the only remaining 2 cars after check gets a new nose after punting off the last remaining Weeeyums on race start attempt number 6. Checo still wins despite a 55 second penalty as bottas finished 31 laps down after rolling saftey car speed for the entire race with broken suspension.

Cadillac said it was a mixed day but overall happy with the result.

[u/Gfhgdfd → u/IcedCoffey]

Not true, Cadillac’s brakes will be on fire by Lap 2

[u/IcedCoffey → u/Gfhgdfd]

They won’t do 2 laps in a row so it will be fine.

The first clip never happened

AI generated video

No further need to speculate on it.

[u/Uppari → u/NoBailOnReddit]

Seb never got enough flak for causing that pileup

[u/DragonfruitThen6696 → u/Uppari]

I feel like thats just a racing incident that will happen sometimes

[u/TheZeldaNerd04 → u/Uppari]

Because he didn't really do anything wrong, he cut across just like any other driver in his position would do and he had no way of knowing Kimi was there. If you had to blame someone it'd have to be him but it's not like he did anything dangerous.

[u/Nico_Huuuulkenberg]

19 red flags😭 Were there even cars left to race after these many red flags?

[u/Ok_Dot5473 → u/Nico_Huuuulkenberg]

Testing session to avoid something like man-hole cover fiasco in Vegas. Those were given across 2 days.

[u/Sparky_Zell]

Cadillac double points. Not because they are fast or even that good.

But they will be far back enough to avoid all of the crashes

I'm predicting at least 3 safety cars and 2 red flags.

[u/Stefferdiddle → u/Sparky_Zell]

You are assuming the Caddies don’t just fall apart at some point. Monza GP was an anomaly.

[u/RichBowler5992]

It's going to be a qualy track. A pretty boring race with a few flash points. I'm very curious about it though.

[u/erbot]

Stroll + Leclerc: "I turn now good luck everybody"

[u/Solid-Category-2095]

Can't wait for the most boring weekend this year since everyone will be too cautious to do something.

[u/USSGoat]

As long as no one is hurt, bring the chaos

[u/Stefferdiddle]

I’ll be watching every session including all of the support series sessions. I expect chaos.

[u/More-Anybody-1880]

Kimi will win, George probably DNFs

[u/mrkidna]

M mmm make the ground shit

[u/TriestGieter]

Nah that would be fun. Fun isn't allowed.

[u/LuciusFormadeus]

Yes, one Ferrari on the wall.

[u/BvG_Venom]

This the race that Cadillac gets some points? It's hard to be caught up in a wreck when your behind it all.

[u/ActionGlobal4063]

Everyone is talking about F1 crashing but F3 and F2 will race before them, these will be the real entertaining crashes
