Bottas and botched tyre nuts....name a better combo

[โ€“] dimspace@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

10 laps, 8 seconds in front and not even trying.

Can we just give Max the title, let him take the year off and have a new competition for "second is the first winner"

I wish Red Bull would just unleash Max instead of just telling him to build a ~15 sec gap and then drive to a delta. If we can't have competition at the front, at least let us watch Max lap the entire field.

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

If Red Bull do that, then F1 will start bringing a whole raft of rule changes mid season to try an screw over Red Bull and make them slower

(I mean they tried to do that last year with the floor rulings, but Red Bull ended up getting even better)

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wasn't the floor rulings a late implementation of intended porpoising prevention? Or was there another floor change I forgot about?

Also funny how by the time the floor change was implemented most teams had already fixed porpoising and all it accomplished was making following harder again.

Carlos gunning for Lewisโ€™ seat next year.

Leclerc really struggling out there. Brutal.

Max's so ahead he'll reach Saudi Arabia for the next race by the end of this one.

[โ€“] krimson@feddit.nl 3 points 1 year ago

Max has his own calendar. Abu Dhabi in May.

Riveting stuff. Excited there's 23 more races of this. /s

Sainz has REALLY been performing and showing what he can do!

[โ€“] SlicingBot@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Interesting to put Checo on the softs.

[โ€“] l_b_i@yiffit.net 6 points 1 year ago

No hards available.

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

Seems like it will be the same as last year

Yuki getting the Ferrari treatment

Max with another grand slam

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

Boy that sauber is.. green.. very green...

at least it stands out from all the blues and, well, blues

[โ€“] MaddieTian@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 year ago

Max is 15 second up the road. I was hoping for a better year with some actual racing involved.

Ah well. Guess Iโ€™ll try again in 2026 with the rule changes.

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 5 points 1 year ago

Really looks like most people underestimated Red Bulls pace advantage, if anything.

Alex have you tried restarting it?

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

Why aren't we seeing pit stop times?

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

Brutal pitstop for Bottas. He's always the unlucky one.

Lawrence Barretto's prediction on Hamilton seems to be spot on atm.

Yuki is pissed lmao

Mom, Max is at it again

[โ€“] t0fr@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yuki doesn't seem quite happy to be asked to swap

[โ€“] SlicingBot@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I wonder how the relationship between Daniel and Yuki will play out this year?

[โ€“] D2Rave@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I'd expect some fireworks - my guess is neither Yuki nor Daniel is there next year (one up / one out)

Nice move from Carlos.

This is suddenly becoming a race of reliability.

Fucking race director at the end.

[โ€“] SlicingBot@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Poor Bottas

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

The Ferraris... My poor heart!

Is Zak getting paid by Sky or something? They always talk to him.

[โ€“] SlicingBot@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

They usually have several of the TPs and team personnel give commentary each race. They rotate week to week.

I've never watched a pre-race show before.

Can't wait to get started!!!

Maxito, Don't play with your food

Let's go Checo!!

Did F1 run out of contract with AWS to show us timings and stats or what? Or is AWS fucking shit up themselves as usual?
