Pick the Podium - F-1 - Rolex Grande Premio de Sao Paulo, Autodromo Carlos Pace Circuit, Interlagos, Sao Paulo, Brazil, November 03-05, 2023

[Retroram52]

The F-1, 2023 season is down to three races. This circuit has some pretty high speeds due to the long sweeping left hander that covers nearly a third of the course distance. Should be fun to see if Hamilton gets closer to a win, if McClaren continues to improve, or if Ferrari will ever get their head out of their asses and get behind the right driver for next year.

This is a sprint weekend too. And there is projected heavy rains for the only practice session, so no one will have any effing clue how the cars are going to behave. I wonder how many cars are going to get DQ'ed because of the planks this time out?

Next race is the Vegas after midnight shit show and the last race could get cancelled because warzone and all that.

Not sure I'm gonna bother with any of it.

I am thinking the same thing 43. It'll be your call on the early departure from competition. I'll finish out the season but I am beginning to wonder about next season.

If they air it, I will watch. It’s what I do.

That sky in the background of qualifying was the blackest sky I’ve seen in a long time.

Prepare for me to make my moves!!!

 

[Schmoopy1000]

Kinda shocks me they all decided to use the soft.
Figured they all would mostly use Mediums. Since they think they are toast after one lap, & it being an easier track to overtake.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

One more lap & Riccardo gets back in the points

Might change my mind later, but for now.

You have 21 hours to change your mind Schmoopy!

yeah but now I have to figure. If I change my mind, how much did I screw myself LOL

 

[Retroram52]

Yep, and therein lies that awful nagging cognitive dissonance that gets stirred-up
