"That was Gabi, he might not have a manager tonight anymore" - Piastri on the Bortoleto-Alonso situation ๐Ÿ˜…

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago

I thought he said "flight home?" I assume he meant Gabi is using Fernando's private jet.

"Cya nerds" ~ Max Verstappen

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

STOP THE COUNT!!

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

C'mon Leclerc, don't let Norris past after that fantastic stint earlier!

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago

Nice, well-deserved third :)

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Sainz smooth operating for Williams right now

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

Did we miss the incident with Lawson and Doohan? No way is what we saw on screen 2x as bad as Piastri and Verstappen

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

Was given leniency as it was the first lap. The penalties are a nonsense though. If anything, being so early in the race and there being no time limit when to take the penalty means the 5s is much much lighter than 10s in the middle of the race and pitstops. I would rather see consistent 5s penalties and they have 3 laps to take it in. So you can't do a lunge, ignore the track limits and scamper off in clean air for 25 laps, which is what Max clearly wanted to do and almost managed it. That would have been a tragedy of the stewarding if it had happened that way.

Can't remember seeing it, but I must admit to spending time here too when it looks slow because I am happy other people on Lemmy also like F1.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

We saw an overtake where the car that overtook went maybe a tyre's width over the white line. I wasn't even sure they'd went off the track from the camera angle we had. That's why I'm wondering if it was another incident the next lap maybe

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah what I saw for from Lawson going deep didn't seem like a 10 second penalty, dude can't seem to catch a break!

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 4 weeks ago

Classic FIA inconsistency.

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 4 weeks ago

Great overtake by Leclerc, bad way direction showed it live. It basically didn't even show the actual overtake. They had to do a damn replay for it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 14 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

Lets go, both Williams in points.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

Stoked for the team, they're having a good run.

I am in this picture and i love it.

And Hadjar again too!

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Leclerc out here driving a medium like a hard tyre.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago

There is no deg here, only overheating it seems. Could have possibly gone M-S honestly seeing as he was in clear air.

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 4 weeks ago

Bwoah

Welcome back Kimi Raikkonen.

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Bwoah that was close for Alonso

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

I, too, was pleased at that bit of Kimi from Fernando.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

Whoa Alonso, what a overtake.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

Wow! Great overtake for Piastri. And thank you Hamilton for holding up Verstappen

[โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

That's how you clear a 7-time world champion Lando.

[โ€“] [email protected] 15 points 4 weeks ago

Absolute madman to pull an overtake there. Piastri is the real deal.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

What's Red Bull's game here? I think they lost 2-3 seconds to Piastri already by pitting late

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

Probably expecting Hamilton to box a lap earlier.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

Is it just Max or the Red Bull is fast here, that 5s penalty doesn't look that threatening to Max's race.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

The 5s penalty does almost nothing for anyone. It's way too low a penalty for anything. Regardless of how good your car is. It's only annoying if you got lucky earlier with a car where you're actually out of position where your car should be.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Commentary here speculated it was probably 5s because of Piastri being partially responsible for pushing Verstappen off, where Lawson took full blame and got 10s.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Sounds like a weird way to reason though, no? That's what should be called a race incident if they're both partially at fault.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

Stewards and consistency ๐Ÿ˜…

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

Piastri going for an undercut seems super sketchy. They need to find clean air for him and this puts him in traffic no? Even without the slow stop. I feel like possibly the overcut would have been better today?

[โ€“] [email protected] 17 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)
[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 4 weeks ago

Making him look silly honestly. Gotta be smarter than that if you want to be WDC.

[โ€“] [email protected] 17 points 4 weeks ago

Sheesh Lando, falling to the same trick twice in under 90 seconds.
