Official 2023 Dutch Grand Prix Thread ***SPOILERS***

[Piginapoke]

We’re back after the Summer break. Of course Max will win in the RB19, but my interest will be on Piastri and McLaren- both were on a roll so it will be interesting to see if it continues after the break. Aston could go well here.

Here’s to a great race.

Thanks PiaP! Back to normal programming after the break.

Wafty win for Max, but as you said, from 2 downwards it will be interesting...

[Planet Claire]

Thanks, PiaP, but you haven't updated the circuit map - I'm still seeing Spa!

[Harry Flatters]

... and that's a long old race weekend, from 25 July - 27 August

Wow, I wonder what the 11% who voted for Alonso have been drinking.

Why? Some people vote for who they think will win, others vote for who they want to win. Same as every race.

[Diderot]

Thanks as always PiaP. Track map is Spa

Normal service has been resumed.

If we hear booing we'll know Lewis has had a good race...

[Sandpit Steve]

One week of the summer break left to go, woo hoo!

I sadly fear that this race result is going to be a foregone conclusion, so let’s hope for a good race for the other points behind. Mercedes v McLaren v Alonso v Perez should be tight for 2nd and 3rd, both in this race and the championship.

[Derek Smith]

Are we there yet?

It's been soo long.

Thanks to PiaP.

[Sixpackpert]

Seems the environmental protestors are already there, blocking the entrance.

I’m sure Jos will sort the out when he arrives!

[F1GTRUeno]

Think the only thing to make this interesting would be to try and guess by how many seconds Max will win.

[mk1coopers]

Thanks for the thread PiaP, once again with an almost certain result my interest is low, so much so that I’ve decided not to watch it live,I’ll catch up on what’s happened here and use my time more productively

How? Are all the protesters female?

[BrettMRC]

Thanks once again MrPoke!

Suspect we are on for an obvious Max win here, although one can't help but suspect they (RedBull) must be due some bad luck at some point!

Isn't it Taxi Drivers that were threatening to block stuff this week?

Anyway - this is an obvious Max win but I've voted for Lewis just out of hope of seeing a mixed up weekend!
