Only took 18 laps for a "we are checking"

Bottas and botched tyre nuts....name a better combo

[โ€“] dimspace@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

10 laps, 8 seconds in front and not even trying.

Can we just give Max the title, let him take the year off and have a new competition for "second is the first winner"

I wish Red Bull would just unleash Max instead of just telling him to build a ~15 sec gap and then drive to a delta. If we can't have competition at the front, at least let us watch Max lap the entire field.

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

If Red Bull do that, then F1 will start bringing a whole raft of rule changes mid season to try an screw over Red Bull and make them slower

(I mean they tried to do that last year with the floor rulings, but Red Bull ended up getting even better)

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wasn't the floor rulings a late implementation of intended porpoising prevention? Or was there another floor change I forgot about?

Also funny how by the time the floor change was implemented most teams had already fixed porpoising and all it accomplished was making following harder again.

Carlos gunning for Lewisโ€™ seat next year.

[โ€“] AlexisFR@jlai.lu 3 points 1 year ago

Leclerc really struggling out there. Brutal.

Max's so ahead he'll reach Saudi Arabia for the next race by the end of this one.

[โ€“] t0fr@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

Sainz has REALLY been performing and showing what he can do!

[โ€“] TheBlue22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

THE ENGINEER SAID IT!

Max is 15 second up the road. I was hoping for a better year with some actual racing involved.

Ah well. Guess Iโ€™ll try again in 2026 with the rule changes.

[โ€“] JimmyMcGill@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Seems like it will be the same as last year

[โ€“] SlicingBot@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Interesting to put Checo on the softs.

[โ€“] l_b_i@yiffit.net 6 points 1 year ago

No hards available.

Alex have you tried restarting it?

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 5 points 1 year ago

Really looks like most people underestimated Red Bulls pace advantage, if anything.

[โ€“] wes@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Lawrence Barretto's prediction on Hamilton seems to be spot on atm.

Yuki getting the Ferrari treatment

[โ€“] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Brutal pitstop for Bottas. He's always the unlucky one.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Boy that sauber is.. green.. very green...

at least it stands out from all the blues and, well, blues

[โ€“] nerdschleife@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Why aren't we seeing pit stop times?

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

Yuki is pissed lmao

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

Nice move from Carlos.

[โ€“] Gsicht@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Ferraris... My poor heart!

Nothing new.....atleast we haven't seen any strategy fuckups yet

[โ€“] AlexisFR@jlai.lu 4 points 1 year ago

This is suddenly becoming a race of reliability.

[โ€“] SlicingBot@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Poor Bottas

Holy shit Sainz what a move

[โ€“] t0fr@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yuki doesn't seem quite happy to be asked to swap

[โ€“] SlicingBot@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I wonder how the relationship between Daniel and Yuki will play out this year?

[โ€“] D2Rave@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I'd expect some fireworks - my guess is neither Yuki nor Daniel is there next year (one up / one out)

Mom, Max is at it again

Max with another grand slam

[โ€“] t0fr@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

I've never watched a pre-race show before.

Can't wait to get started!!!

Maxito, Don't play with your food

Did F1 run out of contract with AWS to show us timings and stats or what? Or is AWS fucking shit up themselves as usual?

Let's go Checo!!

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

Is Zak getting paid by Sky or something? They always talk to him.

[โ€“] SlicingBot@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

They usually have several of the TPs and team personnel give commentary each race. They rotate week to week.
