Happy new season of F1!

@wes@lemmy.world thank you for having these posts up!

[-] wes@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Thank you and everyone helping and participating! 👊👍

[-] alphacyberranger@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago

Awesome work by Hulk so far

[-] Microw@lemm.ee 6 points 8 months ago

And they didnt broadcast any of his laps lol

When his time lit up, I was like "whoa, he's second, track evolution must be crazy!"

Nah, was just him being crazy

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

His qualifying game is really on point, isn't it.

[-] espentan@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

Good work by George to get 3rd.

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

Especially considering where Lewis finished.

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

Repeat of last year it seems

[-] purrtastic@lemmy.nz 2 points 8 months ago

Lewis sacrificed qualy by optimising for the race. We'll see how that goes.

[-] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 8 months ago

Field seems ridiculously close. Just a second from front to back

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

Right? Pretty amazing..

[-] espentan@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago
[-] wes@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Gonna be a lonngggg season for them

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

Checo really not doing himself any favours.. outqualified by both ferrari and mercedes

[-] Thade780@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

If he keep on going like this I wouldn't be surprised if Sainz took his place next year.

[-] june@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

That’s exactly what I was thinking. I bet RB tries to get Carlos before promoting Danny. I think Danny’s biggest advantage right now is how much Christian likes him. Though Danny seemed to have pace in the RB19 that he doesn’t seem to have in the AT/RB. I’d be curious to see how Yuki does in the RB19/RB20 for a head to head comparison.

[-] Thade780@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

how much Christian likes him

After reading the leaked text (and assuming in good faith that they are real in my extremely humble opinion) I am not sure how much value that has.

Otmar might be having the biggest grin across his face.

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

I fear this race is going to really mess me up.

I've already found myself looking for football half-time scores thinking its saturday

[-] alphacyberranger@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Vamos Fernando

[-] alphacyberranger@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

That's so damn tight.

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

Nice lap by Stroll.

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

Great showing by Mclaren, but I still wonder how the cars will hold up throughout the race

[-] Microw@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago

Imagine having a car that's slower on the second hot lap you do while everyone else improves at least from track evolution

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

I wonder if Max has an answer to that lap by Charles..

Edit: He did.

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

Damn Alpine what happened?

[-] Microw@lemm.ee 10 points 8 months ago
  1. Their car somehow is 10 kg heavier than last year
  2. Their engine still is the worst one as there is a ban on developing it
[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

This post and the F1TV commentators both mentioned that the Alpine cars are 10 kg too heavy.

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

So Mercedes' customers are faster than them

[-] espentan@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

So far.. we kinda know that Merc might take a few races to get the most out of the new concept.

[-] Nfamwap@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Where have we heard that before....?

[-] soEZ@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Next upgradeTM, Lewis got tired of that so moving to next yearTM

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

Aside from the Alpines getting knocked out at Q1, no major surprises in qualifying.

[-] alphacyberranger@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago
[-] cum_hoc@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

A bit off-topic but, given the lap time that Max (and Charles) managed to put in this qualifying session, if the race is close, either of them might be tempted to get the fastest lap point and break Pedro de la Rosa's record this year.

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

I feel like, if they couldn’t beat it in quali, they won’t beat it in the race.

[-] WhiteHawk@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

It's the fastest race lap, the quali times were 2s faster than that

[-] june@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Somehow I had it in my head that the record lap was 1:26 lol

[-] safesyrup@feddit.ch 3 points 8 months ago

What a surpise! Sauber is bad this year again. I‘m a sad swiss :(

[-] espentan@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

No tire data/display unless they've set a time? Slightly annoying..

[-] espentan@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Don't think Perez will be a huge threat to Max this year either..

[-] june@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

He needs to step up and get closer. I’m betting I’ll be disappointed by him again.

[-] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

Solid qualifying! The field is looking tight!

[-] espentan@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

This is exciting.. quite a few unknowns, still.

[-] hal_5700X@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Good luck, Alpine

I was hoping for Sargeant making into to in Q2 😑

[-] espentan@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I was hoping RB would be a bit further up the field..

Edit: Maybe they are further up than I thought.

[-] Microw@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

Bets on a Sainz pole on my local commentary right now
