Only took 18 laps for a "we are checking"

I like it, they screwed him

[-] D2Rave@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

This is Yuki showing he is still immature. He wasn't going to get that pass done and only ended up making Daniel miss his window (being on softs / having Max lap them). Yuki pulls a large market and has matured some, shenanigans like this put a real negative view on an otherwise positive race.

10 laps, 8 seconds in front and not even trying.

Can we just give Max the title, let him take the year off and have a new competition for "second is the first winner"

I wish Red Bull would just unleash Max instead of just telling him to build a ~15 sec gap and then drive to a delta. If we can't have competition at the front, at least let us watch Max lap the entire field.

[-] dimspace@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

If Red Bull do that, then F1 will start bringing a whole raft of rule changes mid season to try an screw over Red Bull and make them slower

(I mean they tried to do that last year with the floor rulings, but Red Bull ended up getting even better)

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 5 points 8 months ago

Wasn't the floor rulings a late implementation of intended porpoising prevention? Or was there another floor change I forgot about?

Also funny how by the time the floor change was implemented most teams had already fixed porpoising and all it accomplished was making following harder again.

Bottas and botched tyre nuts....name a better combo

[-] listener17@sh.itjust.works 9 points 8 months ago

Riveting stuff. Excited there's 23 more races of this. /s

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

Leclerc really struggling out there. Brutal.

Max's so ahead he'll reach Saudi Arabia for the next race by the end of this one.

Max is 15 second up the road. I was hoping for a better year with some actual racing involved.

Ah well. Guess I’ll try again in 2026 with the rule changes.

[-] SlicingBot@lemmy.ml 6 points 8 months ago

Interesting to put Checo on the softs.

[-] l_b_i@yiffit.net 5 points 8 months ago

No hards available.

[-] dimspace@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Boy that sauber is.. green.. very green...

at least it stands out from all the blues and, well, blues

[-] JimmyMcGill@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Seems like it will be the same as last year

[-] alphacyberranger@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Alex have you tried restarting it?

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 5 points 8 months ago

Really looks like most people underestimated Red Bulls pace advantage, if anything.

[-] wes@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Lawrence Barretto's prediction on Hamilton seems to be spot on atm.

Max with another grand slam

[-] alphacyberranger@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Yuki getting the Ferrari treatment

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Brutal pitstop for Bottas. He's always the unlucky one.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Why aren't we seeing pit stop times?

[-] Gsicht@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Nice move from Carlos.

[-] TheBlue22 4 points 8 months ago

Holy shit Sainz what a move

[-] alphacyberranger@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

This is suddenly becoming a race of reliability.

[-] SlicingBot@lemmy.ml 4 points 8 months ago

Poor Bottas

[-] t0fr@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 months ago

Yuki doesn't seem quite happy to be asked to swap

[-] SlicingBot@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 months ago

I wonder how the relationship between Daniel and Yuki will play out this year?

[-] D2Rave@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

I'd expect some fireworks - my guess is neither Yuki nor Daniel is there next year (one up / one out)

Did F1 run out of contract with AWS to show us timings and stats or what? Or is AWS fucking shit up themselves as usual?
