100%. Epitome of racing incident. Perez could barely keep it on the track. That was bs.

[-] PeeJay@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Fully deserved imo

[-] R05@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Perez was already nursing a problem, if anyone was driving dangerously it was him.

[-] bhmnscmm@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

5sec definitely seems excessive.

[-] jramskov@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Agreed - WTF was that about - nothing happened to any of the cars, it was racing.

Ohhh, thanks ๐Ÿ‘ That changes things a bit ๐Ÿ™‚

[-] Rob@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hmm, I dunnoโ€ฆ I can see it being ruled a racing incident because the action wasnโ€™t that bad. But he did understeer into an opponent, damaging his car, and ruining his race.

It seems like they judged the outcome more so than the action itself.

[-] BowserDelta@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

5 Seconds is a bit of a joke considering they were alongside in the corner and the track conditions ๐Ÿ™„

He's had a lot of bad luck this season, but i feel his drives have gone under the radar a bit. He's in a new team and has been more or less on the same racepace as Ocon from the get-go. Very interested to see how the fight between the two develops.

[-] wgbirne@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

Shouldn't he get a penalty for unsafe release? He almost crashed into Stroll. Why was there no mention of this from race control?

[-] imbrucy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Gasly and Leclerc both looked like they should have gotten unsafe release penalties. I guess the stewards decided to be lenient considering the chaos in the pits.

Ricciardo in the points ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฏ

Edit: no more :(

[-] bhmnscmm@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Still not too bad of a drive! He definitely had more pace than Yuki.

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 8 points 1 year ago

Checo floundering and Danny Ric in the points in an Alpha Tauri. I think we all know what thoughts are going through Helmut's head right now.

Finished way ahead of Tsunoda and (by luck) ahead of Perez, that looks good for him

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

While we wait, thought I'd share this from the stream:

Rare mistake by Alonsoโ€ฆ

[-] baduhai@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 year ago

Most bullshit penalty I've seen in a long time.

[-] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Hamilton knocked a lump out of the Red Bull. How you can claim a penalty isn't deserved is beyond me.

[-] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

I just watched the race and I didn't notice the hole until I saw a post on Reddit, I don't think it was obvious during the race that there was that much damage.

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Great strategy from McLaren. Interested to see how things work out with no DRS for Max.

Gasly got a huge jump. Finally a W for Alpine. Sainz got shafted unfortunately.

[-] TheWheelMustGoOn@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Why was that great strategy? It was the only thing they could do?

Please, please no repeat of 2021.

If this is the threshold for the amount of spray to race then we'll never see a full wet race again.

[-] BowserDelta@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Safety car, damn it Fernando

[-] IamAnonymous@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

35 min delay

[-] BaskinRobbins@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

RIP Alonso, lucky break for Verstappan

[-] Plaid_Kaleidoscope@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yoooo. Anyone else here? Let's go sprint racing!

[-] BaskinRobbins@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

How many caps does a formula1 driver have? Feels like they're handed a new one every five seconds

[-] Gsicht@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Look at that ๐ŸŒˆ

[-] Motecuhzoma@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

RB nailed Checoโ€™s pit stop, good stuff

[-] TheWheelMustGoOn@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

This race should be longer!

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 1 year ago

Wow, can barely remember the last time Fernando made a mistake like that.

[-] jramskov@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

~5 minutes to start - hoping for a standing start ๐Ÿคž
