Are we checking? This is a place to take a p*ss out of motorsports.

F1 is not the only motorsport in the world, so go ahead and post your shitposts about WEC or MotoGP or IndyCar or ralley or Polish Speedway or whatever. Even Formula E, I guess. It needs some love, too.

By the way, F2 > F1.

Rules? What rules? Stop inventing. Just don't be a douche. Lemmy.world's sporting conduct applies.

Go back and watch. Watch the distance to Sainz. He was well in DRS, .5, zone while Hamilton wanted Leclarc to lift for him. So 2 laps of Sainz still in DRS and Leclarc's tires improving while Hamilton only had 4-5 good laps left on his tires. Hamiltons tires were shot to the point that Sainz was almost passing him at the finish. Sainz wasn't out of the race but Hamilton was more worried about taking a shot that he didn't think about the team, Leclarc, possibly being passed by Sainz.
