Stroll upset he can't crash into other cars whenever he feels like it

[-] shikitohno@lemm.ee 14 points 7 months ago

Stroll just needs to be out of F1 already, he just keeps showing he is not on the level to do this. Guy makes the dumbest mistakes and never seems to own up to it. He's slow as hell most days, to boot.

What pissed me off was when he said on the radio that Ricciardo was an idiot for braking hard. I mean seriously?

[-] Pringles@lemm.ee 18 points 7 months ago

Alonso not even getting slowed down by gravel.

[-] espentan@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago

That was a beautiful save.

[-] lapes@kbin.social 8 points 7 months ago

And he just opened DRS right after as if nothing happened

[-] Pringles@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

It was incredibly skillful

[-] Pringles@lemm.ee 13 points 7 months ago

Not a good day for the Aussies. Bottas out with engine troubles, Ricciardo and Piastri getting torpedoed by Stroll.

[-] espentan@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

Hamilton utilizing all his racing prowess to get past a.. Haas.

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

Max was gaining nearly a second per lap 😡

[-] joba2ca@feddit.de 7 points 7 months ago

So nice to have Nico alongside Crofty. I love the insight he gives, really adds a lot to the race.

[-] hypnotoad__@lemmy.ml 5 points 7 months ago

I personally find him arrogant and grating. But he does have a few good analyses, I will say.

[-] Donut@leminal.space 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Not just insight, but also not afraid to push back a little against Crofty when he said Alonso's last stop was working out well. He corrected him by saying Alonso is making the most of a terrible situation. You don't see Martin do that too often.

Not saying Crofty needs to be 100% correct all the time. When you're talking for 2+ hours you're allowed to make some mistakes, as long as they get picked up and corrected. Like today. It was civil and nice.

Racing Bull double dnf.

[-] GreenEngineering3475@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Rebull pitstops are on another level today.

[-] alphacyberranger@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago

And it was even a double stack

[-] GreenEngineering3475@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Both of them were double stacks and near or under 2.1 seconds

[-] Aurix@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Arbitrary safety car imho.

[-] Nighed@sffa.community 3 points 7 months ago

I assume there is loads of carbon and metal wheel rim over the track.

  • Was that tractor on track?
[-] espentan@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Gasly a bit eager to get going again..

[-] TheBlue22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 months ago

That safety car took forever the hell?

[-] Nighed@sffa.community 1 points 7 months ago

Yeh, felt a bit wrong that he was getting out on that corner just under yellows

[-] Nighed@sffa.community 2 points 7 months ago

A 3.2 second pitstop for salbur - wow! 🀣

[-] GreenEngineering3475@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Good job Norris.

[-] Pringles@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Aston Martin took a page from the Ferrari '22 ~~play~~clownbook

Edit: Ok, since Alonso started banging in fastest laps this might have been a premature comment. We'll see

[-] Nighed@sffa.community 3 points 7 months ago

Wow-we that wheel in the gravel though

[-] espentan@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Rosberg emphasizing that he's serious when saying Perez is a quick driver, lol.

[-] Nighed@sffa.community 1 points 7 months ago

Lando P2 then?

[-] GreenEngineering3475@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Now Perez gifted alonso to Norris with drs.

[-] Nighed@sffa.community 1 points 7 months ago

Ooh, when is the 1 stop window?

[-] GreenEngineering3475@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago

Safety car ending.
