Congratz to Lando for keeping P1 from pole after the first lap

Norris retaining the lead on lap 1 🤯

Yet another bizarre starting tyre choice for Hamilton from Mercedes. Why...

E: oops this was meant to be a fresh comment not a reply to yours lol

Nooooo Albon's out.

Colapinto's doing a fantastic job holding Perez behind.

McLaren wanted at least a 5 second lead for Norris from Verstappen. It's currently 13 seconds.

And Danny Ric won driver of the day as well!

It’s been so sad to watch him since Abiteboul convinced him to leave Red Bull. Turns out he’s HIGHLY dependent on the car matching his driving style, and Red Bull had that car.

If only he had stayed, or if he had adapted enough to get Pérez’s seat, I think his career trajectory would’ve been very very different.

Honestly it was just a fan token for his goodbye. He did nothing to deserve it in this race

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

I think everyone knows that, Danny included, but it was nice to see his fans rally around him.

Norris finally has a good start.

Albon down to 15th yikes.

Hamilton's gonna have to nurse those tires for a while.

[-] Nighed@feddit.uk 1 points 2 months ago

I wasn't watching it, but it sounds like it's COLs fault?

[-] Microw@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

At least Albon felt so.. Franco saw his chance and squeezed everyone out

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

It wasn't. Colapinto did make an agressive move but broke no rules nor put anyone at risk.

I think Albon assumed Colapinto would bow to him and was surprised by the move, that's all

[-] flughoernchen@feddit.org 3 points 2 months ago

Norris still in the lead how is this even possible?!

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

What damage does Norris have? He had a really slow lap there

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

Just casually brushing the wall

[-] FrostyTrichs@walledgarden.xyz 4 points 2 months ago

This wasn't the track for a mid race 360 like Max sometimes does so Lando instead checked the fitment of the front wing and the right rear tire just to keep the mechanics sharp.

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

Leclerc really lucky there with Max' bad stop

[-] Microw@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

Ferrari seems to have a great strategy this race in general

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Good recovery by them.

[-] Nighed@feddit.uk 1 points 2 months ago

Still showing Norris fastest lap?

Danny's helping Max out one more time
