March 5, 20232 yr Nice podium for Alonso and Aston Martin. Great debut for Sargent in 12th and Williams getting a point.

March 6, 20232 yr Happy for Alonso, but somehow felt sorry to Vettel because he's going to be 2012 Schumacher.
March 6, 20232 yr It's also like the reverse of 2015 Ferrari. Where Alonso was replaced by Vettel the year the team became competitve again.
March 6, 20232 yr Great x Alonso, he really saved the race from being a total snoozefest Wish Red Bull weren't that fast, already looks like it is gonna be another easy win for Verstappen quite disappointed with Ferrari, Leclerq out and Sanz unable to race cos of his wheels terrible start for McLaren and Alpine
March 6, 20232 yr Verstappen has now won 75% of the last 20 races. This is on a par with Schumacher in 2003/04 and far superior to the runs that Vettel and Hamilton ever put together and this year he looks like showing no signs of letting up. I don't imagine he'll be as dominant as Ascari in '52 but this could be up there with the Fangio, Clark, Mansell titles. It may make the races less exciting but we could be looking at the greatest car/driver pairing of all time
March 7, 20232 yr I think the best hope of an interesting season is Red Bull focusing on next year due to being so far ahead and such reduced wind-tunnel time, to make it a bit like Button's championship, winning all of the early races before others close up but not enough. Easy to see Verstappen winning more than last season. Mainly pleased for Williams in the first race, good to see both drivers qualify and race well and nick a point. If Aston Martin have made it a top 4 which are well clear, going to be quite low scoring in the bottom half so all points count. Interesting to see Alfa take the Fastest Lap point away so early, too.
March 18, 20232 yr Well that makes things a modicum more interesting but I'd still have my money on max to win. Its not like we're racing at Monaco or Singapore where overtaking is borderline impossible. The main takeaway is the the Red Bull is not completely bulletproof even if its a second quicker than every other car.
March 19, 20232 yr Author Sorry Formula 1 but I just can't get excited about watching faster cars drive past slower cars in a straight line on the DRS.
March 19, 20232 yr Author What’s going on with McLaren? Seems like they’ve taken a big step backwards.
