Colapinto is flying 👀

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 5 points 2 months ago

He's been impressive today, definitely taking me by surprise.

[-] alphacyberranger@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 months ago

Holy shit Williams

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Norris out in Q1 👀

[-] wes@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Was it because he had to slow down due to yellow flag or does the last corner have track limits?

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

I think he aborted the lap because he was outside track limits there, but I'd have to go back to make sure.

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

Yellow blocked DRS I think? Or just caught by yellow

[-] Microw@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah he made a mistake in the last corner and that in itself cost him time, plus being outside track limits

[-] urquell@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

It looked like his engineer called the yellow while it was a white flag.

[-] AliSaket@mander.xyz 3 points 2 months ago

The mistake in T16 shouldn't have cost him that much time. It was on the approach to T18, where OCO slowed down to let him past to almost a standstill, causing a yellow to come out and Lando backing off.

[-] Microw@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago

If Bearman is good in Haas next year, Ocon will lose his temper for sure

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 4 points 2 months ago

I can see it being a shit-show for sure.

[-] rodrigodias@mstdn.social 3 points 2 months ago

@Microw @wes Bearman will put Ocon in his pocket (as we say in Brazil) next season

[-] alphacyberranger@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

That was embarrassing from Williams

[-] flabbergast@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I guess they don't mind losing their fans...

[-] cheddar@programming.dev 4 points 2 months ago

What are you talking about? Williams and their fans seem to be inseparable!

[-] cheddar@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

Mistakes happen. That could be worse.

Leclerc just loves Baku, huh? I think he's said this is one of his favourite tracks, and it shows. Very good lap from him there.

[-] mhague@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

The rookies did well

[-] flabbergast@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

As if Lando's task wasn't big enough already...

[-] Thade780@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Lando, NOOOOOOOOO!

[-] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 months ago

Damn the rookies are looking great. Great laps by Colapinto and Bearman.

[-] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago

Did not have albon and Verstappen getting out qualified on my bingo

[-] Aarrodri@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I guess no team orders will be needed (mc)

[-] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago

How did Williams forget that airbox

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

This is getting interesting

[-] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago

I was driving. The fuck happened to Lando¿?

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Aborted lap because of yellow flag, ran out of time for another lap.

Unfortunate

[-] Microw@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Williams so good that they gave Albon the additional task of removing tools on track

[-] f1ip@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

PER finally beats VER in qualy!!!

Plus, Williams helped ALB get beaten for the first time as well.

[-] cheddar@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

Just in time for this silly media hype to die.
