Happy new season of F1!

@wes@lemmy.world thank you for having these posts up!

[โ€“] wes@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thank you and everyone helping and participating! ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘

[โ€“] alphacyberranger@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Awesome work by Hulk so far

[โ€“] espentan@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

His qualifying game is really on point, isn't it.

[โ€“] Microw@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

And they didnt broadcast any of his laps lol

When his time lit up, I was like "whoa, he's second, track evolution must be crazy!"

Nah, was just him being crazy

[โ€“] espentan@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good work by George to get 3rd.

[โ€“] Don_Beefy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Especially considering where Lewis finished.

[โ€“] june@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Repeat of last year it seems

[โ€“] purrtastic@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 year ago

Lewis sacrificed qualy by optimising for the race. We'll see how that goes.

[โ€“] espentan@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[โ€“] wes@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Gonna be a lonngggg season for them

[โ€“] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Field seems ridiculously close. Just a second from front to back

[โ€“] espentan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Right? Pretty amazing..

[โ€“] dimspace@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I fear this race is going to really mess me up.

I've already found myself looking for football half-time scores thinking its saturday

[โ€“] dimspace@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Checo really not doing himself any favours.. outqualified by both ferrari and mercedes

[โ€“] Thade780@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If he keep on going like this I wouldn't be surprised if Sainz took his place next year.

[โ€“] june@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thatโ€™s exactly what I was thinking. I bet RB tries to get Carlos before promoting Danny. I think Dannyโ€™s biggest advantage right now is how much Christian likes him. Though Danny seemed to have pace in the RB19 that he doesnโ€™t seem to have in the AT/RB. Iโ€™d be curious to see how Yuki does in the RB19/RB20 for a head to head comparison.

[โ€“] Thade780@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

how much Christian likes him

After reading the leaked text (and assuming in good faith that they are real in my extremely humble opinion) I am not sure how much value that has.

[โ€“] june@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didnโ€™t see anything in the screenshot I saw. What text?

[โ€“] Thade780@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Did you see the link to GDrive, or just the screenshot compilation posted yesterday? If you go through all the texts it is bad.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1OlV2wb51s1WhjLFq0Lsp4inRU60qvdhY

[โ€“] june@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Oof yea. Assuming this is real itโ€™s definitely quite damning.

[โ€“] june@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Just the screenshot. Iโ€™ll check this out. Thanks!

Otmar might be having the biggest grin across his face.

That's so damn tight.

Vamos Fernando

[โ€“] espentan@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Nice lap by Stroll.

[โ€“] Don_Beefy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Great showing by Mclaren, but I still wonder how the cars will hold up throughout the race

[โ€“] Microw@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Imagine having a car that's slower on the second hot lap you do while everyone else improves at least from track evolution

[โ€“] Neonridex@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Damn Alpine what happened?

[โ€“] Microw@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago
  1. Their car somehow is 10 kg heavier than last year
  2. Their engine still is the worst one as there is a ban on developing it

This post and the F1TV commentators both mentioned that the Alpine cars are 10 kg too heavy.

[โ€“] espentan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I wonder if Max has an answer to that lap by Charles..

Edit: He did.

[โ€“] alphacyberranger@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So Mercedes' customers are faster than them

[โ€“] espentan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So far.. we kinda know that Merc might take a few races to get the most out of the new concept.

[โ€“] Nfamwap@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where have we heard that before....?

[โ€“] soEZ@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Next upgradeTM, Lewis got tired of that so moving to next yearTM

Aside from the Alpines getting knocked out at Q1, no major surprises in qualifying.

[โ€“] espentan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

No tire data/display unless they've set a time? Slightly annoying..

[โ€“] safesyrup@feddit.ch 3 points 1 year ago

What a surpise! Sauber is bad this year again. Iโ€˜m a sad swiss :(

[โ€“] espentan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't think Perez will be a huge threat to Max this year either..

[โ€“] cum_hoc@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A bit off-topic but, given the lap time that Max (and Charles) managed to put in this qualifying session, if the race is close, either of them might be tempted to get the fastest lap point and break Pedro de la Rosa's record this year.

[โ€“] june@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I feel like, if they couldnโ€™t beat it in quali, they wonโ€™t beat it in the race.

[โ€“] WhiteHawk@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's the fastest race lap, the quali times were 2s faster than that

Solid qualifying! The field is looking tight!

[โ€“] espentan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

This is exciting.. quite a few unknowns, still.

[โ€“] espentan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I was hoping RB would be a bit further up the field..

Edit: Maybe they are further up than I thought.

[โ€“] espentan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Max slaps in a banger.. straight off the bat.

And Sainz responds!

[โ€“] hal_5700X@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Good luck, Alpine

I was hoping for Sargeant making into to in Q2 ๐Ÿ˜‘
