oh right it’s sprint week

#f1 #formula 1 #Chinese gp 2024 #I know they changed the format - AGAIN - but dear lord I don’t like them just #we get 24 races a year that’s enough like these are human beings I’m just - I hate sprints there I said it #sorry I’d rather have them have all the practice time they can get so nothing goes wrong during the main race #rather than them doing it twice with barely any practice putting immense pressure on themselves and the teams like- i don’t get the appeal #unpopular opinion probs just yeah idk we don’t need sprints I think overall #Joey rambles

Waking up to see that they found Alonso at fault for the sprint race collision and Lewis getting eliminated in q1. I'm sure my tl is very civil and peaceful right now

#f1 #formula 1 #chinese gp 2024 #do i even want to watch to see what happened? probably not #but i am going to because all i think about is f1 24/7

Lewis you better throw that worthless car around for all it's worth these last two laps and hold off that ugly ass car

FP1

Lots of running on track in this one session on a track we haven't been to since 2019. Despite it having rained just a day earlier, the grass in turn 7 suddenly catches fire and the session is briefly red-flagged so the marshalls can put it out.

Sprint Quali

Track again on fire at the end of SQ1. In SQ2 RUS unexpectedly out, ZHO unexpectedly through to SQ3 to the delight of the Chinese crowd. Light rain but conditions fine. LEC P2. Then rain arrives for SQ3 and everyone is skating like Bambi on ice. Charles spins, crashes into the barrier but miraculously has no damage to either wings. He does go into the pits to have his car checked and get new tyres. It's cost him time and he ends up only P7. Max and Lando go off track, get their laps deleted, then Alonso takes pole, then Hamilton, then Norris. NOR gets his lap deleted again, and just as we think HAM has sprint pole, it is reinstated! Crazy quali!

P1: NOR / P2: HAM / P3: ALO

Sprint

Chaotic start that sees Norris lose pole immediately and drop numerous places. Of course VER eventually works his way up to the front from P4 and wins by 13 seconds. Behind him lots of battles take place between ALO, SAI, LEC and PER. At one point ALO and SAI collide, leading to some floor damage for SAI and a puncture for Alonso, ultimately retiring him from the Sprint (he later also receives a 10-second penalty for causing a collision). PER takes advantage of all the squabbling in front of him and moves up to 3rd. LEC tries some daring passes on SAI who resorts to pushing LEC completely off track in a move Nico Rosberg deemed penalty-worthy (but FIA deemed not worth a further investigation after noting it). LEC fights back though and passes SAI with a wonderful overtake for a P4 finish.

P1: VER / P2: HAM / P3: PER

Quali

In Q1 SAI hits the gravel in the last turn, spins, and luckily ends up only barely hitting the barriers on the other side of the track. The car is stalled for 1 min 17 seconds before he is able to restart it, while the session is red-flagged. He limps home on the ruined tires and without a front wing. Car is repaired by the time the track is cleared of gravel. Aston Martin later filed a complaint that he was stopped on track too long and should have been penalized, but as usual the FIA rules are too vague (what is too long?) and the complaint is dismissed. Lewis shockingly doesn't make it through to Q2 and qualifies P18.

P1: VER / P2: PER / P3: ALO

Petit's Race Notes

Carlos tried to fight Charles at the start leading to not only RUS but also HULK to get ahead of both of them.

Charles was going to work his tyre management magic again with a 1-stop, but BOT's car died and caused a safety car allowing everyone to pit.

Right before the start Lance Stroll missed seeing the train of cars in front of him braking and ended rear-ending RIC quite spectacularly (ultimately leading to RIC retiring) which also damaged PIA's car.

More chaos at the restart as K-Mag made a pit maneuver on Yuko who ended up retiring.

Then it rained penalties: 10 seconds for STR and MAG for causing a collision; 10 seconds for RIC for overtaking HUL during SC (and because he couldn't serve it before he DNF-ed, it will be a 3-place grid penalty in Miami); SAR also gets a 10-second penalty for a SC infringement.

The Ferrari's are not doing as well on the Hards as on the Mediums and we cannot catch NOR (who had been sure the Ferrari's were faster than him before the race started) and PER, but we do stay ahead of RUS and ALO (whose team gambled with putting him on Softs during the SC, and were forced to pit him again).

ZHO gets to park on the grid and soak in the love from the Chinese crowd as the first Chinese driver to ever drive in the Chinese GP. 🥰

Top 3: P1: VER | P2: NOR | P3: PER

Fastest lap: Fernando Alonso

Driver of the Day: Lando Norris

Fastest pit stop: Red Bull/Max Verstappen (1.90)
