Has someone else noticed that from certain camera angles the colours are off, most visibly on the mclarens?

[โ€“] t0fr@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yes, I've noticed that too. Especially when the McLarens and Ferraris are side by side

Edit: think it's just the camera for corners 1 & 2

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

Yes this was bugging me too! How strange.

[โ€“] l_b_i@yiffit.net 2 points 2 years ago

There is one corner they look rather red.

NGL I prefer that colour over the papaya

[โ€“] l_b_i@yiffit.net 13 points 2 years ago

"I hit the wall."
"Can you bring it back?"
"No I hit the ****** wall"

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

Really? Found it pretty interesting so far. Quite eventful.

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

Yeah I enjoyed it. Good racing up and down.

[โ€“] WatTyler@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Has KMag fucked the stewards' wives?

Apparently he pissed in their cereal as well

[โ€“] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Bearman ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ

He's possibly scored more points today than some drivers will in this entire season.

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

I think he'll score more points today than Sargeant over 2 seasons.

[โ€“] GreenEngineering3475@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And Stroll is in the barriers. First safety car of the season.

[โ€“] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago

Amateurish from stroll

[โ€“] dimspace@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Aaaaaand Max already has a gap you could fit half the F2 grid in

[โ€“] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

Two things.

  1. How has Norris not got a penalty yet.
  2. How is Perez not being investigated yet.

Are the stewards asleepยฟ?

[โ€“] GreenEngineering3475@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Perez got noted for unsafe release by stewards.

Edited:Now Norris is being investigated.

[โ€“] t0fr@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

They're taking really long.

And now there's no jump start penalty for Norris at all

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

Both under investigation now.

[โ€“] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago

Took their own sweet time

[โ€“] Photographer@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Fingers crossed for McLaren today!

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

If that Norris start is not a jump start then I don't know what is

[โ€“] l_b_i@yiffit.net 5 points 2 years ago (7 children)

The jump starts are based on telemetry, if he was behind the sensor in his box and moved and was still behind, no jump start. You can technically start moving early, so long as you don't cross the sensor before the lights go out.

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

I am aware of this. He moved an awful in the race so I don't get how he didn't cross the sensor. He looked past the white line when the lights went out.

Bearman up to 9th. He's absolutely killing it.

Edit: aw he lost the position

Edit: He got it back ๐Ÿ’ช

[โ€“] Gsicht@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Come on Oscar...

[โ€“] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

10s penalty for Magnussen? No penalty for Norris?

Interesting decisions.

[โ€“] dimspace@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

McLaren and Mercedes didn't double stack because...........

gambling on another s/c i guess?

[โ€“] l_b_i@yiffit.net 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Did they have enough space to double stack without impeding?

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

i mean, you can slow down the second car before hitting the pits and then crawl in the pit lane, only needs a 5 second gap or so

[โ€“] l_b_i@yiffit.net 1 points 2 years ago

If you have no one behind, sure, but you can get a penalty if you cause the car behind to slow down.

[โ€“] alteredEnvoy@feddit.ch 4 points 2 years ago

KMag absolute the train engine

Kick must be kicking themselves now

Well played KMag, well played

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

Well, at least we got a new race leader..

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

Another disaster pitstop for Kick Sauber..

[โ€“] t0fr@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Let's see if Bearman can make some early overtakes on those softs

[โ€“] dan80@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[โ€“] t0fr@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Well. He made some overtakes on the hards at least

[โ€“] Worx@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 years ago

Did something happen to Magnusson at the end? I thought I saw him drop about four places in a couple of seconds but no mention of it on the commentary

Now Perez has a 5 sec penalty for the unsafe release.

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

What happened with Gasly's car? Missed it.

Gearbox issue I think
