Sigh, Yuki. That prob would've been best finish for AT. Both Top 10. And now he's down in 16.

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

That would've been driver of the day for me too. From 19th to 8th in the first half of the race. He needs to make fewer mistakes like these. Then again, I guess he hasn't had much experience with a car that can overtake others.

He needs to make fewer mistakes. He had such an incredible recovery until then, probably would've been right behind Ricciardo. I guess he doesn't really have enough experience overtaking other cars given how crap his car has been until this race.

Charles post-race interview: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, that wasn't my fault with Checo! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Don't hurt me!!"

[-] TheBlue22 10 points 1 year ago

Absolute masterclass by Norris holy fucking shit

I am happy for Danny. What a great race. Lets go!

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

That was some F1 23 level shit there Checo.

[-] June@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Checo is losing me. I don’t know if I can keep doing this. Get your shit together man

Max pit under SC? he has to, 21 second lead, cannot waste that

edit: yup

This worked out absolutely perfect for Max, especially as he was the only one with two new sets of hards

God, I want Danny to hold on to that 4th, but there is no way in hell that Alpha Tauri can beat a Mercedes... right? I NEED SOME FUCKING COPIUM

[-] TheBlue22 7 points 1 year ago

GOD FUCKING DAMN AGHHHH

anyways, nice move Lando it was a juice one

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Holy shit what a bad crash for KMag. Glad he's out.

[-] dimspace@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Its really hard to even get excited about the prospect of a Ferrari front row, because you just know they will somehow contrive to get in each others way, let Max through on lap one, and then make a pigs ear of their strategy and finish 5th and 6th

Well that was as predictable as the sun rising and setting.

I completely failed to predict Checo's stupidity though

[-] epygots@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Ocon lmao what kind of radio message was that

[-] TheBlue22 7 points 1 year ago

Osama bin Russell i swear to god if you take out riccardo im going to say something very not nice

[-] DV8@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

If he could have proven he could keep a cool head he might have strengthened his case but this is just dumb. He just needed to cede second, overtaken in the next laps and cruised to second for a crowd that would have adored him.

So damn unnecessary and dumb. Apart from his contract he still needs to keep second place.

[-] Nighed@sffa.community 6 points 1 year ago

That was never going to work.

RIC in red bull next year

[-] TheBlue22 6 points 1 year ago

If Danny can climb to 4th, I'm going to actually lose it

[-] TheBlue22 6 points 1 year ago

The mediums will die in the end, I think mercedes risk didn't pay off

Sainz puncturing after driving over Charles' end plate under VSC would have been the crowning glory.

thankfully we have avoided that fiasco :D

[-] SlicingBot@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

For once I agree with all 3 drivers who are in the lead for driver of the day. That last move by Norris was chef's kiss.

[-] Nighed@sffa.community 6 points 1 year ago

Did Sargent just box a lap early?

[-] WaterSword@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 year ago

He had an issue and had to retire. Bummer for him, he was doing pretty well.

[-] TheBlue22 5 points 1 year ago

Leclerc will need armed escort out of Mexico, no matter if it was his fault or not

[-] JCPhoenix@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Is Stroll trying to get his dad to fire him?

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

He's after the Red Bull seat :')

Was that a bit of lando's car falling off on that curb?

[-] SlicingBot@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

All the cars running mediums mean that we have more pitstops in this race. This may get interesting.

[-] Chup@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

Verstappen was complaining about his mediums even before lap 20. So those guys with used medium tyres now might be forced to stop soon after the restart, losing lots of positions due to tight traffic.

[-] TheBlue22 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Rear left puncture? Or did the suspension give in? Maybe the brakes even.

Oof. DNF at home race.

Could also have not gone any worse for Ferrari, as expected.

[-] DV8@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

With the Mercedes cars on the medium it seems Ricciardo could end up fourth, with Yuki maybe fifth or sixth considering Piastri is also on mediums.

So two sprint races essentially. Should be a good restart to shake up the order.

[-] TheBlue22 3 points 1 year ago

Leclerc was the easy part Lewis

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

Man, George's tyres are shot
