Perez..

Not the time to be beaching the car when there are rumors of you being axed mid-season.

Seemed early to switch to slicks. Don't know who made the decision.

[โ€“] Microw@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Three brits on top of quali for the first time since 1968, and first time in Silverstone ever..

We truly are in a british age of F1

Could it be floor damage for Verstappen?

Edit: Brundle confirms "significant" floor damage

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

A Haas out qualifying a Ferrari? Now there's something you don't see every day.

[โ€“] urquell@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[โ€“] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

However you want to cut it. KMag out in Q1,LeClerc in Q2.

[โ€“] urquell@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I meant it as hulk is in front of both ferraris

Oh boy, Sergio beaches in the gravel

From the Monaco curse to now the post-Monaco curse ๐Ÿ’€

[โ€“] Pringles@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Perez is having a horrid season. Parking it in the gravel in Q1 is illustrative for how his season is going.

[โ€“] GreenEngineering3475@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Let's fucking gooo, Williams.

Sargeant is out qualifying Perez.

[โ€“] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sargeant is out qualifying Perez.

Is it just me or is this becoming a weekly thing now

[โ€“] urquell@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

He is more often in front of perez than in front of albon ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

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

Clever move by Perez. He figured most were going to out qualify him either way, so he placed the car in the gravel trap early to save the engine. /s

[โ€“] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

Man out here playing 5D chess /s

[โ€“] Thade780@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[โ€“] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

This is like a wet dream come true for him

[โ€“] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 year ago

That was unexpected

Three Brits at the top right now.

Considering the floor damage, Max is still doing pretty well.

Hulk also doing great.

[โ€“] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 year ago

Damn everybody at red Bull must have had a heart attack for a moment or two

[โ€“] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Do sky have special sources from the teamsยฟ? The f1tv commentary still aren't confirming that max has damage. How are sky so sureยฟ?

[โ€“] l_b_i@yiffit.net 5 points 1 year ago

There was a clear camera shot of a chip missing from the front of one of the fins on the underside of the floor.

[โ€“] Microw@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Journalists are in Whatsapp broadcast groups handled by the teams. RBR press officer sent a message into his group confirming the floor damage.

Not just a Sky thing, quite a few F1 journos are in those groups.

Perez and Ricciardo with the same mistake in the same corner lol (Ricciardo was mucky enough not to beach himself)

[โ€“] Microw@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

And now Max too, something with the RB(R)s in that corner

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

Wow. That was good.

[โ€“] l_b_i@yiffit.net 4 points 1 year ago (11 children)

Is Redbull allowed repair (replace) the floor before the race?

[โ€“] hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I think you're allowed to repair/swap components as long as they're identical spec. No setup changes, but they should be able to put in a new one.

Short answer is yes, with identical parts otherwise it's a grid drop or pitlane start depending on what is changed and why.

Oof, comparing track dominance between Leclerc and Stroll...

Perez: I'm in danger.

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

Did Aston bring any downgrades for this weekend ?

[โ€“] Pringles@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They brought Lance Stroll.

[โ€“] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Frankly stroll has been matching Alonso the past few weekends. Now might not be the best time for these clever jokes

Well now both Red Bull drivers have gone through the gravel. At least Max got back on the track

[โ€“] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

Damn that is one fight for pole

After getting pole:

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

@Bademantel@feddit.de did you want rain?

[โ€“] Bademantel@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Haha, I'm a fan of changing conditions so I got what I wanted. I'm excited about tomorrow. Did you enjoy it?

[โ€“] Thade780@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Better than expected. Would have actually loved the rain to come as they forecasted, alas.

[โ€“] Microw@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Max is trying to fight against the other drivers, but is fighting against his own floor
