What we expected: McLaren 1-2

What we got: Ham-Ver

Is it 21 again?

[-] _ed@sopuli.xyz 7 points 4 months ago

Didn’t have that on the cards - stoked to see.

[-] ghose@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 4 months ago

:) looooong turn 1

nice for HAM being ahead LEC, as for ALB, STR,... BEA

[-] frank@sopuli.xyz 3 points 4 months ago

For real. First thing I said to my partner was "what year is it??"

0.018 between them into a very long first turn. Hoping for a good sprint!

[-] Microw@lemm.ee 6 points 4 months ago

Hadjar seems to be on speed with Tsunoda already. And Lawson once again proves how shitty RBR is at building a driveable car.

[-] wes@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Hadjar is really impressive so far.

[-] Microw@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

He makes rookie mistakes, but he is a rookie so that is fine. His raw pace is impressive.

[-] ninth_plane@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Hamilton's cackle over the radio was amazing.

[-] BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com 4 points 4 months ago

Why did they not show the timing tower at the end of SQ2? I had no idea who was on the brink of being outed 😤

[-] BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com 2 points 4 months ago

And now again in the middle of SQ3...

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

Austrian commentary says they got a heads up that F1 has some kind of problem with the graphics at the moment

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

Oof Checo...... Sorry Lawson

Marko in the background sharpening his axe

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

TSU sends kudos to Mr. Marko.

That car has to have some very weird requirements from the driver. It's not that everybody is slower than VER (expected), but nobody seems able to extract performance. Mr Marko, Give Yuki a chance! :D

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 1 points 4 months ago

It seems to have been the case for years now, Verstappen has very specific preferences for how the car feels, and nobody else can deal with that setup

[-] Microw@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

Checo's manager probably already on the phone with Cadillac again

[-] fisco@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 months ago

Lawson continuing to prove, he's nothing more than a direct replacement for Perez 😅🤷🏻‍♂️

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

The Red Bull clown side show continues

[-] Microw@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

With Zhou back at Ferrari, this will be Hype today and tomorrow at Shanghai

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

Also there were lots of 44 signs in the stands. Chinese fans love Ferrari.

[-] Microw@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Alonso in 2? 1 second faster than Stroll? Hulk nearly as fast as Antonelli? What is happening here?

[-] Microw@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Oof Russell nearly blocked Yuki there
