It is the last day of F1 racing commenting term so as usual, you do not have to be wearing your uniform to school and you can play board games in the morning instead of lessons. It has been a punishing schedule and if possibly not the most exciting of seasons, no doubt who was the star of the show, so take a bow, Max Verstappen in a job crushingly done.

 

Qualifying

 

 

Starting Grid

 

Pretty much as above, I think

 

 

Again, when is this happening?

 

1pm, GMT or 5PM local

 

Then see you back here on 02 Mar 2024 for the Bahrain GP!

[SophieB]

F2 is imminent!

I'm looking forward to the WDC P2 battle

Fernando Alonso for the Win!   

 

[SwedeForceOne]

Was thinking about how infrequent technical DNF:s have been this year. Anyone have stats for this? I slightly miss having the frequent kabooms like in the proper engine noise years.

[southernstars]

Hoping for an Oscar win to close out a superb rookie season for him.

 

Hoping Danny Ric has a great race and makes up some positions.

 

Hoping Logan has a great race too.

[JimmyClark]

I'll only be able to watch the start, but I don't expect I'll miss much, despite the grid looking very interesting and mixed up. Hope I'm wrong though so the season can go out on a high.

[ANF]

Final starting grid = provisional starting grid

[Carsey]

Going to be interesting between Ferrari and Mercedes.

 

I do think Ferrari are going to get it though.

Heartbreak in AD for Toto again.

I don't think Merc would be too upset though, as they need all the development time they can get with what will be a totally new car, so that will soften losing 2nd for them.

have we ever had rain for an Abu dhabi f1 session

New lap comparison overlay is good. Better than the side by side.

Absolutely agree, really great way to show where cars and drivers find and lose time over a lap. Let’s hope this stays.

no chance

I guess that comparison is on Sky rather than F1TV?

[Thursday]

No mechanical retirements in Monaco.

Whatever happened to it being a race of attrition? 

I suppose the engineers have just got too good.

I have some faint memory of rain…or it was a near miss…cant remember

Yes that’s correct. Anthony Davidson did a good job talking through it.

Can I ask you to consider changing your profile pic? I breaks the forum at places.

The cars have been running at 40% pace for years now in the ‘race’.

[Ali_G]

Very dull grid walk so far.

Wonder who that arse in the Castore shirt is. Clearly doesn't have a clue about F1.

[southernstars]

Sharapova with actually insightful discussion with Martin, which is fun.

[southernstars]

This grid walk is driver-heavy, which I enjoy!

[Kev00]

Maria is cool. Anyone who talks to Martin is cool

[Ali_G]

Sustainable fly pass my arse.

[Elloh]

A lot of people that follow F1 dont know who Martin is, like my dad. There is a shitload of media on the grid, which are not allowed at the end part. He was probably not informed that Sky Uk is allowed there easy as that, the problem is who ever gave the instructions.

[southernstars]

Of course, we're extra-environmentally unfriendly here in Abu Dhabi with five fighter jets and a jetliner.

Yuki have not made it easy for Ricciardo to make a triumphant comeback. Daniel really need to make a 10/10 race today.

[Clrnc]

Hows Ferrari race pace like compared to Merc?

[KWSN - DSM]

Yuki have shown that Dan were and is regressing, and that it was not the car past 2 seasons against Norris.

Eurythmics... I thought that was too LGBTQ friendly for the emirate.

[Clrnc]

Or rather people have underrated Yuki a lot. 

 

This season he has suffered so many bad luck DNFs and many while he was in points scoring position.

Possible, though not how I see it.

Theres got to be some truth to that, but there are nuances. I think there are some validity to him just not gelling with the car.

[jonpollak]

Thanks for all the great work over the season gang.
Much appreciated

Enjoy this turgid race ……

He said that because Tsunoda in Las Vegas said he was his favourite actor and the one he wanted to meet. Which is why he’s in the AT hospitality.

[ConsiderAndGo]

Just an hour and a half or so the worst season of the past 25 years is over!

[Ruusperi]

Historic season about to end.

Stroll, Sainz, Bottas on hard. No tyre data for the Williamses.

[gowebber]

Nonsense. You have deduced this after the last qualli?? He was doing just fine until the qualli here where the margins are close. One qualli is not a pattern.   Also Yuki is no slouch at this track either and has improved quite alot.
