Ask r/Formula1 Anything - Daily Discussion Thread 2024 United States Grand Prix - Day After Debrief Charles Leclerc has as many wins from Lando Norris poles as Lando Norris. They also have the same amount of wins in 2024 [Karun Chandhok] IMO if the driver on the outside is more than 75% alongside - as Lando was - then they should be entitled to 1 cars width on the exit of the corner, but currently that is not in the rules. The way the current rules are, Max pushed the boundaries but he’s allowed to. Fernando Alonso will start his 400th F1 GP in Mexico with a special helmet livery [@aditstappen] "Max knows the rules very well and his spatial awareness of his racecar is outstanding. He took everything to the absolute limit but he's within the limit" Norris must smarten up - or Verstappen will keep embarrassing him By round 19 of the 2024 season Alonso has now 62 points. In 2022 and with 4 DNF's, by round 19 with Alpine he had 71 points. This is the weirdest title race ever - 2 wins in the last 9 GPs for Lando and Max Oscar was asked to back off, so not to interfere with Lando his 5 second penalty [simal⁶³ on twitter] "i was at a rugby match and suddenly everyone in front of me turned around and looking up screaming 'george! prince george!' i thought this is a bit strange, like all these people screaming at me. i turned around and it was the real prince george standing behind me." [@VirutasF1] There is a carambola for Franco Colapinto to stay in F1 next year, but a few things have to happen. Two-way movement, one going and one coming. And sponsors who will have a say. Scuderia Ferrari race-week poster for the 2024 Mexican Grand Prix There is a real chance that Max wins the Driver's Championship with the 3rd place Constructor, which would be the first instance of this since Nelson Piquet with Brabham in 1983 (3rd) and Keke Rosberg with Williams in 1982 (4th). Liam Lawson and Franco Colapinto shaking hands after the Austin GP [@SkySportsF1] “100% car. Lewis Hamilton doesn’t lose a car on lap 5 like this.” Toto Wolff says Mercedes’ issue caused Lewis’ DNF in Austin [Yuki Tsunoda] A shame how yesterday turned out after a good start and first stint, but nothing a Texan BBQ couldn’t fix. Congrats to @LiamLawson30 for points in the first race this year [@verstappenews on Twitter] Max giving his congratulations to Charles! Franco Colapinto post-race interview: "The fastest lap was taken by the french [Ocon], why do they change tyres bro? we need to save the planet. Give it back to me" Bozzi: you're starting to like these P4 starts Leclerc: Yeah, I think we need to target that now Charles Leclerc wins the 2024 United States Grand Prix20 Ars Technica - All content
