Day after Debrief 2025 Chinese Grand Prix - Day After Debrief

130 Upvotes

Welcome to the Day after Debrief discussion thread!

Now that the dust has settled in Shanghai, it's time to calmly discuss the events of the last race weekend. Hopefully, this will foster more detailed and thoughtful discussion than the immediate post-race thread now that people have had some time to digest and analyze the results.

Low-effort comments, such as memes, jokes, and complaints about broadcasters will be deleted. We also discourage superficial comments that contain no analysis or reasoning in this thread (e.g., 'Great race from X!', 'Another terrible weekend for Y!').

Ask r/Formula1 Anything - Daily Discussion Thread

Upvotes

Welcome to the r/formula1 Daily Discussion / Q&A thread.

This thread is a hub for general discussion and questions about Formula 1, that don't need threads of their own.

Are you new to Formula 1? This is the place for you. Ever wondered why it's called a lollipop man? Why the cars don't refuel during pitstops? Or when Mika will be back from his sabbatical? Ask any question you might have here, and the community will answer.

Also make sure you check out our guide for new fans, and our FAQ for new fans.

Are you a veteran fan, longing for the days of lollipop men, refueling during pitstops, and Mika Häkkinen? This is the place to introduce new fans to your passion and knowledge of the sport.

Remember to keep it civil and welcoming! Gatekeeping within the Daily Discussion will subject users to disciplinary action.

Have a meta question about the subreddit? Please direct these to the moderators instead.

I suspect it's the same fan that did the custom Pringles cans last year, you have to admire how much effort the fans in Japan put in!

Photo What’s with the lap times being omitted so often this year? Highly doubt it’s because I have pro and not premium. Have noticed it for the last 2 races also. Never before for the last so many years!

Video Q: Do you feel for Liam on a human level? | Max: I've discussed everything with the team. I've spoken to Liam, and I think that's all I can say about it | Q: Are you confident Yuki can back you up? | Max: For me it's not about that. We need to just improve our car. That's where the focus needs to be

Caption Contd: . i moved to italy shortly after joining AlphaTauri in 2021 and it has been my home away from home ever since. i was always treated like family, invited into their homes, playing football or padel with the team after work, and that is something i will never forget.

thank you for the amazing memories and the best of luck for the rest of the season!

News Max about whether he still stands behind the instagram post he liked, calling Redbull's driver swap “bullying” and a “panic move”: “I liked the post, so that says enough, right? it wasn't a mistake. that sometimes happens when you click on something.”
