How does race direction always miss everything? It's mad. I understand it must be a hard job, but like... Wtf? Cutting away as soon as the nose of one car is ahead of another, missing battles up and down the order in favour of watching P1, P2, P3, and P4 go round in a procession. Makes the races seem so fucking tedious.

I'm seriously considering to stop following the sport altogether since watching the events live often means I sacrifice part of my weekend and more often than not it's just not worth it because either nothing happens all race or stuff does happen but the folks who direct it are more interested in showing celebrities and partners of drivers.

I regularly fall asleep during races.

Holy shit Bortoleto's crash. Glad he's ok.

Understandable to check if he's ok first before showing the footage.

[-] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah that was a brutal snap. So sudden!

[-] troed@fedia.io 3 points 3 weeks ago

His DRS was still open when he started breaking. Car behind had closed theirs.

[-] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Mm, sort of like that Doohan crash in Suzuka.

[-] LemmyBruceLeeMarvin@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago

I wonder how fast he was going when he started to spin out. That was just crazy - 4 wheels off the tarmac there for a second

Is it too much to ask to get pictures of the late passes instead of the Antonelli-Norris battle? There were not even replays of LEC passing ALO or GAS passing STR.

Edit: ~~and now BOR crashed and we don't know why nor how...~~ Nervermind, the broadcast showed a replay just after I hit send.

Franz Tost is on commentary today at Austrian TV and was just asked about Colapinto's 2026 contract.

Briatore has said that "ultimately we've got Franco on talent and the fact that he brings the financial side is a happy accident."

Tost says the truth is that "they got Franco because of the financial side, and the fact that he has talent is a happy accident"

:D

Gasly just casually told Leclerc to overtake Alonso on team radio

[-] KokoSabreScruffy@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Alonso seems to have the habbit to become the train's conductor

[-] hypnotoad__@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 weeks ago

Engineer's response was excellent

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Piastri !!!!! Omg

Colapinto and Hulk too.

[-] cyrano@piefed.social 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

not watching what happened?

[-] Goodeye8@piefed.social 7 points 3 weeks ago

All 3 ran into a water puddle on the kerb and spun out

[-] hypeerror@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago

wet inner kerb. the drivers who touched it lost grip.

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

🚩

Don't recall the last time a sprint had a red flag.

[-] Microw@piefed.zip 4 points 3 weeks ago

Did Norris just chuck water onto the ideal line on purpose? Lol

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 7 points 3 weeks ago

Mario Kart banana peel!

[-] Microw@piefed.zip 4 points 3 weeks ago

Antonelli might have said this, but it looks like the actual problem for Piastri, Hulk and Colapinto was that they were understeering the corner before and when trying to correct that they drove onto the wet curbs

[-] PrincessKadath@ani.social 4 points 3 weeks ago

What did Max say on the radio? Never heard GP so annoyed at him.

[-] flabbergast@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

That poor green flag guy! Will he have to wave that flag for the whole session?!

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Track seems quite damp. Hoping for an interesting sprint.
