Holy shit, Logan Sargeant Q3 lets gooo

[โ€“] gitpsuh@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago

I wasn't really expecting much higher than 10th from him in Q3, so this isn't that bad if they can lineup tomorrow without taking any grid penalties

Nice two first two rows, with for different teams. Love it!

Edit: even better: 6 different teams at the first 3 rows :)

[โ€“] espentan@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Logan better than Lewis, you read it here first! /s

American dethrones British king of F1! USA! USA! USA!

This didn't age well...

Super happy to see the two Williams making it to Q3

[โ€“] cjsolx@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Russell sounded legitimately excited for them too!

[โ€“] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Norris ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Albon ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ mega effort

[โ€“] greyfrog@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So happy to see Sergeant make it into Q3, even with the crash. It'll be good for his confidence.

This weekend has been awesome so far and I'm not just saying that because I'm a Williams fan.

That heli cam with the speed information is fantastic!

[โ€“] dimspace@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

McLarens and Williams loving the wet again

[โ€“] espentan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Mhm, and also high downforce, low speed tracks (relatively speaking).

[โ€“] bhmnscmm@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Am I misremembering? I thought Williams' strong suite was high speed tracks before the break.

Either way, Albon is always good in wet conditions.

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

My comment was directed at the McLarens, and you're right, historically (2022 and this year) Williams have been quick at high speed tracks.

Ferraris are looking strange today. Locking up and sliding eveywhere

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

That's at least the third time that's happened to Leclerc today.

[โ€“] Nighed@sffa.community 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Between the two of them they have missed the first corner 4+? Times.

This could just be an extension of leclerc's habbit of pushing beyond what is possible

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

Could be, but he was on a cool down lap, right?

I think he was on a cool down one or two other times too. This is definitely a bit odd.

That's what.. someone said.

[โ€“] espentan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Leclerc has about had it with Ferrari..

[โ€“] Nighed@sffa.community 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

When is he out of contract?

[โ€“] espentan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[โ€“] bhmnscmm@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Were those rumors about his post 2024 Ferrari contract several weeks ago ever confirmed?

[โ€“] BobKerman3999@feddit.it 2 points 2 years ago

I think they said he had options to opt out

[โ€“] espentan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Sainz, realizing McLaren will be a threat, tries to innocently take them out. Clever.

Edit: Well, right now Ferrari are only a threat to themselves.

[โ€“] espentan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Albon and that Williams really love these conditions, on this track.

[โ€“] bhmnscmm@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I'm so happy to see McLaren making a strong showing after the last few years. Excluding Redbull, I think the second half of the season is theirs to lose.

[โ€“] espentan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

The difference between Max and Perez is similar to the difference between Albon and Logan.

[โ€“] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Both Williams in Q3!

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

Kinda surprised to hear the optimism about Ricciardo coming back next year despite the injury.

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

Do we know how severe the injury is, yet? It didn't seem that bad, and it would be harsh to dismiss him for missing a couple of races this season. If Lawson wins today, he might be in trouble, though.

I feel like I'm watching a nature documentary with all these super close ups.

[โ€“] hal_5700X@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Both Williams made it into Q3. Lets go!

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

Maybe rain will come during the red flag and Williams will lock out the front row? Please? I'm desperate.

[โ€“] Photographer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Its a shame because they were actually competitive in these conditions, but on a dry track, not so much

What did Leclerc set on the top of the car before he removed the wheel?

It sort of looked like a Ferrari branded tape measure.

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

Seatbelt buckle. All the harnesses clip into one central point on F1 belts iirc. I think itโ€™s normally left attached to one of the over the shoulder belts

[โ€“] bhmnscmm@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Ah, you're definitely right. I had no idea they could be removed entirely, I thought they were permanently attached to one of the straps.

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

Why did they take out Lewis that early? Did they think โ€œP9 is safe, good enoughโ€ while there were still drives on the course?

[โ€“] frank@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

He pushed his second to last lap. I don't know why they didn't do another warm up and push on the last one. Weird call

[โ€“] Sentau@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

Damn verstappen always pulls shit out of the bag when it is needed. Also piastri bungeled it when it mattered the most

[โ€“] gitpsuh@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

So the intermediate runners got away with the dodgy call then, since nobody apart from Albon got a good lap in on the softs
