"False start"

"No, it was a great start"

Comedy gold

Are all of them driving like idiots now?

Perez-Stroll and Lawson-Perez are under investigation, Colapinto did a stupid move on Piastri..

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 7 points 1 year ago

Write stupid rules, get stupid races. This is all on FIA and the stewards. You reap what you sow.

VER needs to be DSQ-ed. Guy is fucking dangerous with his red mist.

[–] flabbergast@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Fucking finally, 2x 10s penalty!

Another 10 seconds penalty for Max

[–] PunchingWood@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (5 children)

At least Perez made it past the first ~~corner~~ straight this time.

Aaaand he picked up a penalty already. This man..

Perez was wayyy off his grid position.

The interaction between Perez and his race engineer was comical.

Verstappen is an idiot who only knows how to drive and start in first.

Edit: both RBs drive like they're alone on the track

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 13 points 1 year ago

Can't say this kind of driving is endearing Max to me.

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

Track temperature has dropped by 5 degrees, could impact the grip a lot says Wurz as we see marbels

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Aston Martin says Alonso's retirement was due to a brake issue related to cooling

Unfortunate. Uneventful end to his 400th race weekend.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 7 points 1 year ago

Going by the radio transcripts on Multiviewer something got stuck in a brake duct and they overheated instantly

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Smooooooth operator

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

Everybody boxing to get fastest lap and Norris simply tries to go for it with his old hards lol

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Leclerc omg

This first at apex shit has to change or else both Norris and max will just race to the apex without any regards to making the corner

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 9 points 1 year ago

100%, the rules need fixing and fast.

[–] Pringles@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

My completely non-expert prediction: Max goes back to winning ways after Sainz overcooks his engine while Norris gets taken out by a Mercedes. Perez ruins his race trying to get past Magnussen and Hulkenberg finishes in 5th.

[–] Nighed@feddit.uk 8 points 1 year ago

Wowe, 20s total penalties

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Contact between Lawson and Perez. Perez has a small hole on his right sidepod.

Another 10s penalty for Verstappen wow.

[–] hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

I'm all for Red Bull downfall

Norris gaining slowly on Leclerc. He has 15 laps – plenty of opportunities to try and overtake.

[–] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lando in that McLaren is so weirdly gentle on the tyres. Like his outright pace is not ahead of the others but he seems to have minimal degradation. Either that or else he is taking it too easy at the start of the stint and not maximising the entire stint.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Piastri has been having a rough couple of months but from the season overall it looks like a car characteristic. We've seen several races where both McLarens seem to perform best towards the end of a stint.

Man everybody is fighting like crazy this weekend

Haas holding steady with 7th and 8th. Kmag's keeping up with the Mercs. Impressive stuff so far.

[–] PrincessKadath@ani.social 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Still no mariachi theme. Sadness.

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

It has happened! I'm now at peace.

[–] PunchingWood@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

They used it for the line-up song lol

[–] PrincessKadath@ani.social 4 points 1 year ago

IT'S THERE!

Ferrari benefits again from the VER-NOR sparring.

[–] PrincessKadath@ani.social 5 points 1 year ago

That was close for Charles.

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

People are gonna make gifs of him sitting out that 20 seconds penalty

[–] PrincessKadath@ani.social 5 points 1 year ago

Ouch. There goes Yuki's chance.

[–] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I get 10 seconds for the T8 incident but for T4 10 seconds seems excessive especially considering Norris kept the place after T4 by going off track

[–] Nighed@feddit.uk 6 points 1 year ago

I think it's because this one might have been a deliberate decision to run him off rather than them both outbreaking themselves. (Maybe?)

Remember that the driver steward changes ever race (as well as the other stewards?)

Drama from the start!

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

The return of VER-PER, but on the last positions of the field

[–] PrincessKadath@ani.social 4 points 1 year ago

Did they load the Haas fuel tanks with tequila?

[–] PrincessKadath@ani.social 4 points 1 year ago

I mean, this should really be a penalty.
