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

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

5sec definitely seems excessive.

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

Fully deserved imo

[-] R05@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Rob@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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.

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

[-] gitpsuh@programming.dev 18 points 2 years ago
[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 8 points 2 years ago

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 2 years 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 2 years 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 11 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 8 points 2 years 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

[-] jramskov@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Rare mistake by Alonsoโ€ฆ

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

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

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

World focking champion

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.

Please, please no repeat of 2021.

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 2 years 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.

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

35 min delay

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

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 7 points 2 years ago

Safety car, damn it Fernando

[-] LittleWizard@feddit.de 6 points 2 years ago

Wtf is that penalty?

[-] baduhai@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago

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

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

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

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

Look at that ๐ŸŒˆ

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

Did the start get pushed back? Thought I might have missed it!

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

Same. I woke up a bit late and thought I missed the start. Anyone knows the reason for it?

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

There was a delay to the sprint qualifying and thereโ€™s a rule about giving a certain amount of time between quali and the sprint.

RIP Alonso, lucky break for Verstappan

[-] BaskinRobbins@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

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

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

Ferrari ๐Ÿ˜“

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

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

[-] jramskov@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

4 laps behind safety car, then rolling start.

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

RB nailed Checoโ€™s pit stop, good stuff

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 2 years ago

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

[-] TheWheelMustGoOn@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

This race should be longer!
