Poor Sargeant. He gets a lot of shit, but that's gotta suck being sick out there, as hot and humid as it is. Yeah, nothing wrong with retiring if he really can't handle it anymore.

[-] RagingToad@feddit.nl 4 points 2 years ago

According to Dutch commentators he doesn't like to drink during racing. Could very well be the cause?

(I don't know if he was sick from the start)

[-] JCPhoenix@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

F1TV commentators mentioned that he actually was sick over the whole weekend, but the team kept it quiet.

Hopefully, Logan is okay.

I can't imagine being sick while driving a bloody f1 car. Sounds horrifying honestly

[-] utubas@lemm.ee 16 points 2 years ago

What a shitshow of a circuit. Too bad petrodollars speak higher than anything else

[-] JCPhoenix@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

I know. And we have this for 9 more years. Yay.

Solid stuff by Norris. From 10th to 3rd is quite the feat.

[-] Xecer@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

1.8s pitstop by McLaren, damn

Perez lapped by his teammate.

[-] TheBlue22 11 points 2 years ago

Hey Lance, please let Fernando through. You're slow as fuck. Thank youu

[-] bwoah@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Sainz might be out with a fuel leak according to Albert Fabrega

[-] FrostyTrichs@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Ferrari should just put him in the pit wall to call strategy for Charles. Maybe the strategists would learn something.

[-] Jozav@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

F1TV says he will not take part.

[-] LittleWizard@feddit.de 10 points 2 years ago

I still can't wrap my head around McLaren's turnaround mid season. If you only count the second half of the season, they would be well in the fight for the constructors championship.

[-] Thade780@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

I am jealous, can I also get a five seconds penalty?

Poor Logan, I hope it's nothing serious

[-] Luvs2Spuj@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I think these forced tyre changes have ruined this races potential

[-] SuperIce@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

They need to change those curbs for next year. It's unacceptable to have curbs that cut the tires and force these kinds of restrictions.

[-] genuineparts@feddit.de 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Merc imploding spectacularly. I doubt Lewis is gonna like that.

[-] dimspace@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago
[-] TheBlue22 5 points 2 years ago

After he sees the replays, he'll blame himself, I'm sure. He is not stupid.

I do wonder, though, what teamLH will say about it. Something insane as usual I presume

[-] Xecer@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Worst 'champagne' celebration ever

Perez grabbing a 5s penalty after he finally made his way to the front... Fuck's sake, Checo.

Fernando has to pee in his own seat this time.

[-] ptrckstr@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

The max stint of 18 laps should throw in some chaos.

[-] lackthought@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago

that graphic showing how many laps on the current stint is going to work overtime today

How are people blaming russell. He would have had to disappear to prevent contact

Tsunoda was all like: Either I'm making this move or I'm fucking dying, take your pick Albon

[-] hagelslager@feddit.nl 6 points 2 years ago

I don't think this race warms Marko to Perez.

[-] DV8@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

If you get lapped by your teammate and are behind an Alfa Romeo, with a new engine, there's not a lot to be happy about.

Edit: behind 2 Alfa Romeo's. At this point they might as well put Ricciardo in the car when he returns so he can get used to it and let Lawson stay in the Alpha Tauri.

[-] hagelslager@feddit.nl 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Oh jesus... I just realised Max is already 23 seconds ahead while we're halfway the race.

Feels like a summary of this season.

[-] hagelslager@feddit.nl 5 points 2 years ago

The cameraman filming Verstappens pitstop felt fancy with that camera toss.

[-] alphacyberranger@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago
[-] alphacyberranger@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Wish Nico is the interviewer today

[-] TheBlue22 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

OSAMA BIN RUSSELL DOES IT AGAIN

Edit:

Yeah nevermind, no clue what was Hamilton thinking. He was never making that move

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Classic Merc

[-] hagelslager@feddit.nl 4 points 2 years ago

Has Verstappen been out of the track limits this race? Earlier F1TV commentary said he was the only one who remained within the lines.

[-] Jumi@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I don't think he was ever under enough pressure to make a mistake like that.

[-] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Doesnโ€™t need to. That man in that car is a combination that approaches divinity.

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Alonso noooooo

Just glad he didn't beach it.

[-] utubas@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Ahh, good ol' Hamilton. Taken out by his teammate.

[-] alphacyberranger@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago
[-] hydrashok@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Hamilton out

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Another 5s penalty for Perez ๐Ÿซ 

[-] scrotumnipples@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

"He turned in on me!" In 3... 2... 1...

[-] TheBlue22 3 points 2 years ago

Cheeky Lando. I would say just let them fight.

[-] Nighed@sffa.community 3 points 2 years ago

I bet they were lookig forward to cooking down with the bubbly, what a let down.
