"False start"

"No, it was a great start"

Comedy gold

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Are all of them driving like idiots now?

Perez-Stroll and Lawson-Perez are under investigation, Colapinto did a stupid move on Piastri..

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

Write stupid rules, get stupid races. This is all on FIA and the stewards. You reap what you sow.

VER needs to be DSQ-ed. Guy is fucking dangerous with his red mist.

[–] flabbergast@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Fucking finally, 2x 10s penalty!

Another 10 seconds penalty for Max

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Verstappen is an idiot who only knows how to drive and start in first.

Edit: both RBs drive like they're alone on the track

[–] PunchingWood@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (5 children)

At least Perez made it past the first ~~corner~~ straight this time.

Aaaand he picked up a penalty already. This man..

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Perez was wayyy off his grid position.

The interaction between Perez and his race engineer was comical.

Can't say this kind of driving is endearing Max to me.

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Smooooooth operator

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Aston Martin says Alonso's retirement was due to a brake issue related to cooling

Unfortunate. Uneventful end to his 400th race weekend.

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

Going by the radio transcripts on Multiviewer something got stuck in a brake duct and they overheated instantly

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 12 points 2 weeks ago

Track temperature has dropped by 5 degrees, could impact the grip a lot says Wurz as we see marbels

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 11 points 2 weeks ago

Everybody boxing to get fastest lap and Norris simply tries to go for it with his old hards lol

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Leclerc omg

This first at apex shit has to change or else both Norris and max will just race to the apex without any regards to making the corner

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 9 points 2 weeks ago

100%, the rules need fixing and fast.

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Contact between Lawson and Perez. Perez has a small hole on his right sidepod.

Another 10s penalty for Verstappen wow.

[–] hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago

I'm all for Red Bull downfall

[–] Pringles@lemm.ee 8 points 2 weeks ago

My completely non-expert prediction: Max goes back to winning ways after Sainz overcooks his engine while Norris gets taken out by a Mercedes. Perez ruins his race trying to get past Magnussen and Hulkenberg finishes in 5th.

[–] Nighed@feddit.uk 8 points 2 weeks ago

Wowe, 20s total penalties

[–] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 weeks ago

Man everybody is fighting like crazy this weekend

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Norris gaining slowly on Leclerc. He has 15 laps – plenty of opportunities to try and overtake.

[–] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Lando in that McLaren is so weirdly gentle on the tyres. Like his outright pace is not ahead of the others but he seems to have minimal degradation. Either that or else he is taking it too easy at the start of the stint and not maximising the entire stint.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Piastri has been having a rough couple of months but from the season overall it looks like a car characteristic. We've seen several races where both McLarens seem to perform best towards the end of a stint.

Haas holding steady with 7th and 8th. Kmag's keeping up with the Mercs. Impressive stuff so far.

[–] PrincessKadath@ani.social 6 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Still no mariachi theme. Sadness.

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

It has happened! I'm now at peace.

[–] PunchingWood@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

They used it for the line-up song lol

[–] PrincessKadath@ani.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

IT'S THERE!

[–] PrincessKadath@ani.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

Ouch. There goes Yuki's chance.

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Ferrari benefits again from the VER-NOR sparring.

[–] PrincessKadath@ani.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

That was close for Charles.

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago

People are gonna make gifs of him sitting out that 20 seconds penalty

[–] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I get 10 seconds for the T8 incident but for T4 10 seconds seems excessive especially considering Norris kept the place after T4 by going off track

[–] Nighed@feddit.uk 6 points 2 weeks ago

I think it's because this one might have been a deliberate decision to run him off rather than them both outbreaking themselves. (Maybe?)

Remember that the driver steward changes ever race (as well as the other stewards?)

I mean, this should really be a penalty.

[–] PrincessKadath@ani.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

Did they load the Haas fuel tanks with tequila?

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

The return of VER-PER, but on the last positions of the field

[–] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 weeks ago

Drama from the start!

[–] PunchingWood@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (4 children)

And another 10 for overtaking and gaining advantage. Howcome now it's 10 seconds, and not last week?

I don't think a penalty is undeserved, but I thought the first 10 seconds were 2 times 5 combined for both incidents or something. It seems very excessive at this point. They essentially killed the most interesting part of the race with this.
