Throw away all the oil money race tracks and have multiple races here

[–] SuperIce@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Probably my favorite race of the year, even though it was only a sprint. That brings my hopes up for tomorrow's race a lot.

[–] alphacyberranger@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Max and Lando went into the sunset

[–] Dmian@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Best pace of the race from both

[–] DV8@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Alpha Tauri looking good for the real race tomorrow.

[–] Dmian@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Absolutely. And RIC is driving really well. He’s back! :D

[–] hagelslager@feddit.nl 18 points 1 year ago

What an absolute stonker of a race! Possibly the best sprint this year. Hopefully the main race is also this entertaining!

Hats off to the direction and F1tv commentary!

[–] Dmian@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Amazing how good are the Alpha Tauris at nursing the tires

[–] SuperIce@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, Yuki was a few tenths of a second faster than LeClerc in the last few laps after following LeClerc for the entire race. A few more laps and Yuki would've had a good chance to overtake LeClerc, which is insane to think about.

[–] bedrooms@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It was amusing to see Yuki be cautious this time, after the Mexico course-out. Just tried a little against Lewis and then backed down, anticipating he'll overtake him later easily. In Mexico he made that exact mistake. A beautiful rhyme.

[–] JCPhoenix@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This sprint race might be the best of any race this season so far. So much going on.

[–] calamitycastle@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is this what happens when you take 'managing' down in importance?

He somehow managed to keep the same pace as LeClerc and pull away from Sainz. And the AT's tire degradation is clearly better than Ferrari's. He was a few tenths faster than LeClerc in the last couple of laps. Another 3 laps and he would've been ahead.

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

Pretty exciting so far. Lots of close racing and overtaking.

[–] hagelslager@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

Absolutely! Even before DRS there was a ton of action.

[–] JCPhoenix@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

OK, that was a sick pass of Perez by Hamilton. Goddamn.

Perez better pick it up.

[–] Dmian@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Ferraris: β€œTasty tires! Nom, nom, nom!”

[–] Dmian@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Those with some tire left must now push

Now this is pretty exciting

What a race

[–] DV8@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I'm liking that Checo is proving on track that he can be the best number 2. Vamos Checo!

[–] beeng@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

He was closest to his team mate?

What a fantastic sprint. Just pure, clean racing. Hope to have more of them in the future.

[–] hagelslager@feddit.nl 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I always love those shots from the front where a car appears from another one to make a pass. Like what we just saw with Perez on Russell. Very cinematic.

[–] utubas@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Am I crazy or is it way too advantageous to start second? Verstappen had the best line...

[–] espentan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

This isn't a bad place to start second, but Max had a bit better start and Lando was perhaps a bit too cautious with breaks going into the first corner.

[–] DV8@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Some tracks are like that, but I suppose we'll see what happens in the real race tomorrow. Though this practice/sprint race tends to ruin any surprises.

[–] evanuggetpi@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 year ago

Norris could have moved over to cover verstappen off. For some reason he was too late.

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Some tracks are like that, first isn’t always best unless you have the acceleration speed to keep ahead

[–] Dmian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

HAM SAI RIC close!

[–] Dmian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The Alpha Tauris have good pace. TSU is right behind LEC.

Oof Lando dropped 2 places. Doesn't look like he tried to push hard on that first corner.

Perez down 2 places as well.

[–] espentan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Danny only .3 behind Sainz..

[–] JCPhoenix@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

He passed up Sainz! He passed up a Ferrari!

Then he lost the spot back to Sainz due to DRS, but still, that it happened at all!

I love this track

Eat that ocon

[–] Dmian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That GAS ALO battle!

Giga chad Padre

[–] Dmian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The Maccas now starting to degrade too. PIA is slow.

[–] Motecuhzoma@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Hamilton’s pace is gone

[–] Dmian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

LEC with nice pace, catching HAM.

[–] espentan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Perez dropping back from Lando? Used up his tires working his way forwards, maybe..

[–] Dmian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That was quite a race!

[–] Dmian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

SAI is lucky that RIC is right behind PIA, and distracts him, because the Ferraris are degrading like mad.

[–] hagelslager@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That was already entertaining before DRS was enabled.
