  • Suzuka DOTD

    From Phil Carmody@21:1/5 to All on Sun Apr 7 13:42:16 2024
    No wrong answers this week, IMHO. Apart from Ricciardo.

    My top pick would be Leclerc, because he made the hard strategy work
    better than other teams' easier strategy.

    Super happy for Tsunoda getting points at his home race. It's so good
    for the fans too - I love the Japanese crowd, they always throw
    themselves fully into the event.

    But you can't say anything negative about Sainz, and if there are people
    who pick Bottas I'll not contradict them. Boring Verstappen chosers,
    you're in the clear too, how can you fault a flawless race.

    Special mention to Russell's eventual overtake!

    "Not an overtaking circuit" - said what idiot!??!?

    I will skip most of my ideas because most would not find them humorous.

    Some days go like that & this,,, for first time ever for this F1 pool,
    I go an 'unusual' theory, and pick Leclerc for the win.
    And so, here he does win the DOTD, but does not finish 1, nor 2, nor 3.
    Yeah, whatever.

    Give two cars sufficient difference in grip and any circuit wide enough
    for two cars to drive side-by-side becomes an overtaking circuit.

    The Suzuka esses just offer a particularly great opportunity to display
    that.
