Weirdly a Perez win might be the best thing for McLaren in the WCC as he'll likely then retain the seat for the rest of the year.

 

Worst outcome for everyone else, though.

All these years on and Crammonds games are still miles better than any of the official games since.

 GP-4 had nice rain. You felt the difference  not sure if realistic, but you feel the car give a twist in a puddle.

Perez did well but still 6 tenths off Max. Just because Redbull works well here Perez looks better.

Of course it is a longer lap.

He had only used tyres in q3

Gamble on slicks and keep it in the tramlines. Also different sectors could be wet.

Frustrates me that modern games cannot get it right.

Max doesn’t play F12024. That’s a simcade.
He plays iRacing. Wet is great there

So both Max and Charles agree that McLaren are slightly out of league in the race and it will be difficult to beat them..we might have a good fight for P3 between Charles, Lewis and Max..

0% chance of rain today apparently. Looks to be a dry race later.

That bodes well for the two McLarens.

I would not write off Checo for P3 just yet. A lot will depend on the start and the order after the first lap.

Should be a fun race with cars out of position,a shorter DRS zone and higher than expected deg!

I think McLaren will be way too strong for everyone else and be out front fairly quickly. There’ll be a battle then for P3 - P6 or so
