2024 Formula 1 Season Thread

I want Max to get a penalty on the first corner of the first race, and for it to go downhill from there.

What a great season for F1. It certainly had a lot more interest, drama, and excitement than the previous few years with RBR domination. Stoked to see McLaren get back on top with the constructors championship and even Ferrari looking strong since the stopped blowing motors (now its batteries, lol). Someone needs to put Max on his head though...still a clown.

Thanks again to everyone who participated in the pool. Does make the season more enjoyable...and with that here are the results for the 2024 F1 CalPuck Pool.

Taking top spot this week with 3 slotted and 9 Top Ten are dammage79, TimSJ, and FlamesRule

Overall...in the closest race of the 5 seasons, FLAMESRULE takes top spot, narrowly passing 3thirty on the last lap (thanks Russell) and winning by 3pts. DoubleK finishes in 3rd place in another strong season. 3thirty, I'll PM you shortly for your prize selection and order.

I have double checked my sheet, but if you see any screwups this week, lemme know ASAP!

Really fumbled it this year by not submitting the 3rd last race. Could have potentially held on to a second victory. Oh well, next year!

Congrats FLAMESRULE!

Congrats Flamesrule!!!

Congrats Flamesrule, well deserved! The Hamilton pass on the last lap did me in!

Super stoked for McLaren, despite Zak being a wanker. Thanks for running the season again FLAMESRULE and congrats on the win.

- Red Bull is a bit (more) of a soap opera and Max doesn’t win, I don’t care who does, just so the baby gets served.

Agree with all of this. I want to see Norris/McLaren dethrone Max, but they've got a lot of work to do to get into that champions mentality. There's a lot of questionable behaviour and people on the RedBull side, but they know how to capitalize and maximize points every single weekend with Max. McLaren needs to figure that out on their side.

I'm also looking forward to see who RedBull puts in the second seat. If whomever lands next to Max is even a 50% improvement over Checo, then we're going to have an even more interesting constructors battle next year.
