Happy with that. Norris in a well deserved 2nd. And 2 Brits on the podium.

[–] Purr@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well deserved indeed. I'm so happy for him and Piastri right now.

[–] bhmnscmm@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

I was skeptical but I'm really glad the hards ended up being the right call for Lando

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Very happy for Lando! What a drive.

[–] bhmnscmm@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Really impressive drive from Oscar too. I think he would have gotten 3rd if he pitted under the full safety car instead of the VSC

I just want to say how great the growth of content and conversation has been here in just a few weeks. Let's see what the McCedes can do.

[–] Lord_Logjam@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Max was Max, Norris was brilliant, Hamilton drove well (and got some luck), Piastri was great, Perez again finished behind slower cars, Stroll needs to go.

Damn. Stroll hitting Gasly was very unnecessary.

[–] SatouKazuma@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Really understating it here. Stroll's driven quite poorly today in general, to be honest, so I can't say I'm entirely shocked.

Um, wtf, hards for Norris?

That's going to hurt them

I’m impressed the Mclarens have been able to keep up with the Red Bull so far

[–] Morningcoffee@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Verstappen watching TV again

Edit: while doing a fastest lap, lol

[–] Belseb@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Great defense from Norris and Piastri, didnt think they would keep the mercedes behind them.

[–] Purr@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm gonna need a replay of Norris' defence against Hamilton. That was imo the best racing we got this year so far.

[–] Belseb@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Yea that first lap after the safety car was amazing.

[–] dimspace@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (7 children)

I just don't understand why McLaren put Norris and Piastri on hard tyres.

Even split strategies surely after seeing how long George lasted on softs

I can't believe how good Lando is defending himself against Hamilton... Impressive!

[–] BURN@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Norris is driving like a madman out there and it’s so much fun to watch

McLaren seems comfortably quicker than Ferrari right now

McLaren just giving it to Hamilton I'm afraid

I don't think giving McLarens hard tires is a good idea... They're trying to play it too safe.

Norris sounds pissed, and I can't say I blame him. What the fuck were McLaren thinking?

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 7 points 2 years ago

Really strong defending from Alonso there considering how bad the Aston were here today.

[–] TALD@lemmy.fmhy.ml 7 points 2 years ago (6 children)

I think there needs to be a rework for the penalties. You look at WEC and a penalty seriously stings. Drive-throughs costing 30 seconds, S&G being 60s. What do we get, 5s for taking a driver out? The penalties are anemic

[–] SatouKazuma@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Yeah...Lance will be picking up a penalty here.

[–] dlok@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

first time following race comments on lemmy! look forward to it

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Piastri is the new Invisible Man. Sitting casually in 4th as a rookie and nobody is even talking about him!

Well done, Lando! What a race!

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Love this Lewis/Lando duel!

What in the actual fuck was that anthem? Completely unnecessary saxophone is always a choice

That was a strange anthem

How the hell has Russell made the softs last this long?

Perez on softs?

Sainz fastest on hards?

Saxophone during God Save the King?

It’s been a GP of questions so far

[–] HungoverRabbit@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

Jeez, wtf is that Damian?

[–] CataclysmZA@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Hamilton's tyres are cooked now, Oscar needs to push.

[–] JonCecil@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lando leads a lap! What a start.
