RBR sending Perez out again is some passive-aggressiveness at this point.

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

Farcical. That rule will change. And Perez is done. He cannot have that seat next year with this form.

Maybe this will get lawson a seat somewhere, with someone getting promoted from Alpha Tauri? I really hope so, lawson really deserves a seat.

Wew what's Perez up to today. Gonna pick up penalties like Infinity Stones.

[โ€“] genuineparts@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Dude feels the pressure so much that he's driving himself out of a RB seat.

I wonder if we can vote for Perez as the clown of the day.

Norris on Perez taking Logan out: "Iiiiinteresting"

[โ€“] prashanthvsdvn@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (4 children)

What is even goin on with Perez today. Clumsy start resulting in early pit stop to drop to back of grid. Picking more penalties on the way. Retired. And now comes back and retires again after one lap.

[โ€“] June@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Yea, what an absolutely shocking clusterfuck.

Checo is quick, and when heโ€™s on heโ€™s on, but these lows are not the right look.

I heard this would be a 2-stopper; Logan getting them out of the way early so he can spend the remaining laps hunting down Max. /s

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

He needs to be banned just for being a reincarnated Latifi

Fucking hell Perez. That's not how you keep your seat.

[โ€“] June@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Itโ€™s so bizarre not having both RBs on the podium at the race that they win WCC

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

Yeap, but Perez helped secure the WCC by taking out Logan /s

What the hell? How can be unretiring a car to serve a penalty, then retire it again be in the rules?

[โ€“] Microw@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

Because there is no definition of "retiring" in the rulebook. Which should have been on their radar years ago, you see it regularly how cars pull into the pits and the official tracking keeps showing them as "in the race" and not "retired".

[โ€“] Sentau@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

They did a pitstop and served the 5 seconds and then retired the car. This is why he was out there for 2 laps

[โ€“] alteredEnvoy@feddit.ch 3 points 2 years ago

If it is not banned...

Perez DNF?

Edit: yes, heโ€™s out

[โ€“] genuineparts@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

Perez coming back in to serve his penalties? Or he could pick up some more on the way :P

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

He knows he'll be so dominant in the final few races that he couldn't be bothered to finish this one. /s

Sargeant penalised for new car after Q1 crash https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.official-grid-who-starts-where-in-japan-as-sargeant-is-penalised-for-new-car.X4qn5ydpjjHBscTrUrMwn.html

the damage to his Williams was such that the team have had to build up what the stewards consider a new car for him. [...] it means the American rookie not only has to start from the pit lane, but also receives a 10-second time penalty.

But Will Buxton on pre-race stream said that Williams got penalized for starting work on his car too early?

EDIT: He did tweet this out: https://x.com/wbuxtonofficial/status/1705774169374257291 (Nitter link) so maybe I misheard or something.

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

Either way, hopefully Sargeant's done in F1 after this race. He's basically the reincarnation of Nicolas Latifi.

[โ€“] SatouKazuma@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Wow. More than a few DNFs today.

Edit: Williams out, plus Stroll, Pรฉrez, Bottas.

Inb4 Lawson to Red Bullโ€ฆ :P (jk)

Max, 20 seconds ahead. Red Bull Constructors champions

Verstappen thinking if he should have sushi or okonomiyaki for dinner XDDD

[โ€“] alteredEnvoy@feddit.ch 3 points 2 years ago

Perez is having a terrible day, beating a dead horse that is

[โ€“] fisco@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

A bit of a wheel banging start... SC already...

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

Quarter of the grid out. Damn.

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

Second Williams out. Sad

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

With the rear end struggles drivers were having around the last turn paired with high tire deg, I expect at least one safety car. Could be a fun watch.

[โ€“] frank@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, and a two stopper, especially with the higher-than-normal temperature. Max will likely walk away with it but the rest of the podium is up for grabs. Hoping Oscar can stand on it!
