Motorsports trend for 2024: everything is a bad taste joke now

Not much on stake with WDC and WCC with their winners already defined. So we have to dig a bit to find what is at stake:

- Bottas fighting to avoid finishing the season behind Verstappen, what would be terrible for him
- Hulk is the top contender of the best of the rest (drivers) while Perez and KMag have a shot too
- Renault is very close to clinching the best of the rest (teams) too

Anything else?

Alonso's retirement will be quite emotional for us the Spaniards

Remember the 2012 race...hurr hurrr that was cool

Remember the 2010 star crash...hurrr hurrr that was a thing that happened

Hurr hurr, dat pit lane exit hurr hurr.

Ok, that's all the interesting moments from this race covered. See you in 2019

Are they doing a young driver test right after the GP?

No, I think its the next day or the day after that.

I came to this thread thinking that there was no sentence more anticlimactic and boring than: "Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix".

I was wrong, there is at least one:

I am NOT watching this race.

See you down under F1 people. New regs that won't change jack shit, Mercedes locking out the front row and Leclerc P3.

Can't wait.

I want to see rain

Well darn...I guess now I have nothing to wake up early for, might as well sleep in on Sunday.

At least the Sheikhs open their wallet for the full european FIA support package, so with GP3 and F2 around the weekend wont be a complete waste of time.

hope the F2 cars wash the braking zones with oil and the FIA stewards don't notice it

It's Abu Dhabi. Those guys will recognize oil from a 2 km distance.

they drink oil on breakfast

I dont think i've watched this race since the year Kobayashi faught against Alonso.

Hope to see good support races. Apart from that,nothing. Probably Bottas winning a bad boring race
Emotional for me as a long time Alonso fan, hope my new favourite Leclerc will do it next year!

Apart from being a race full of "lasts", I don't feel like it's much more than that.

From the top of my head:

- Raikkonen's last race with Ferrari
- Ricciardo's last race with Red Bull
- Sainz's last race with Renault
- Stroll's last race with Williams.

And what could probably be the last F1 start for Alonso, Ocon, Hartley, Sirotkin, Vandoorne and Ericsson.

Didn't think of it that way yet, but 6 of 20 leaving is a lot.

Every year I completely forget there's a runoff area that goes under a grandstand that was touted as a "unique feature" of this track, and every year I'm completely not reminded it exists because no-one has ever used it

I think I remember one semi-serious GT crash there and that's about it

You mean this one?


Didn't she break her legs in that crash? I think that's a very serious crash.
