Race Two : 2025 China Grandprix [Shanghai International]

[Nitrodaze]

Ferrari still has work to do on their pitwall. Once again, a strategy that has cost them points.

I think Yuki would be livid with the Racing Bull team for literally f**king up his race. WTF

Ferrari interfered with a developing race between Hamilton and Russell for 3rd. As usual, they overreacted and swapped the cars which turned out to be no better than what it was with Hamilton. They would have a chat, but this is very typical of Ferrari pitwall, they always seem to shoot themselves in the foot and lose points as a consequence.

This was not a good look for Ferrari.

It is beginning to look like Redbull is sapping Yuki's points to save face.

Both Ferraris were disqualified!!!

LeClerc under-weight
Hamilton low plank wear

Bummer for Scuderia.

Well, it's not as if they didn't have the potential to screw up a decent points haul, and they have proven once again to be a clown show on strategy.


Kind of a snoozefest race overall. Oscar stayed in control, and with the late brake problems Lando couldn't launch a late attempt. George had a somewhat lonely race after his exchanges with Lando, but did well to keep the Merc on the podium. No fault on Ferrari for switching cars and letting Charles have a shot at catching George, but once he got close he fell back again. It looked like the top cars were stuck in place until they went to hard and Max started making time on the Ferrari's.

Both the Haas and Williams cars end up in the points after the DQs. And currently Williams is ahead of Ferrari in the WCC.

Losers of the race: Racing Bulls - though Yuki was animated about pushing harder early, they should have reeled them in and learned from the lead teams. They had potential to have at least one car in the points, and tossed it.



The Chinese fans have really come alive post COVID. A lot more flags, banners, crazy hats, and a fun crowd in general. At the rate they are going they will surpass the Japanese and Mexican fans for the overall crowd enjoyment factor.

It was not the most interesting of races. All the action occurred after the race.

Norris 1 (44)
Piastri 1 (34)

Ferrari, with the double disqualification, is just full of excuses.

Red Bull is having an emergency meeting this week to determine whether they are replacing Lawson. Looking at the comparison of lap time between Lawson and Tsunoda, I am not sure Red Bull would gain anything. I looked at Lawson vs. Tsunoda, and Lawson put more quality laps together than Tsnoda.

Tsunoda's representative had to pull Yuki from the media and shut down the conversation as he said that Lawson was only in the seat for "political" reasons and that he should be in it.

LOL

Apparently, Hamilton asked to swap positions. The car must have been really bad for him to suggest that.
