"Can Perez catch Piastri"

The only thing Perez has caught recently is Covid, and Im amazed he managed that

Oof size: massive. That's a lot of damage!

Perez is such a dissapointment

SatouKazuma@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (3 replies)

And you're just now figuring this out? 😆

I kid, but he's been this bad all year.

espentan@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y (2 replies)

.. and last year. Well, most of last year, anyway.

SatouKazuma@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

You aren't wrong.

But good enough for second in the drivers championship. Not looking good for a follow up on that though to be fair.

Glad to see Hamilton finally get a podium. Seemed impossible at the beginning of the season – Mercedes has made tremendous progress.

Gasly in front of Perez, now there's a.. GAS-PER.

Edit: I'll see myself out.

You sonofabitch 👏👏👏🫡

SatouKazuma@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Really drifting out there with this one...

I think Norris is a little too far away. Hoping though

SatouKazuma@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (2 replies)

We'll see with the tyre lives as they are. I think both of them may have to pit once more.

Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

No the softs did around 20 laps in the 1st stint. They should do 20 again without issue now that the cars are lighter

SatouKazuma@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Fair enough. I was thinking more in terms of track temps though. But...history is history, I suppose.

dimspace@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y

Max's timing with DRS zones is so damn good. The way he ensures he has a full DRS to build up 1 second before the other car gets DRS is nuts.

Might have just missed it. Is Martin Brundle just not on commentary this weekend or is there a reason he's not there? Missed him on the grid walk today.

JJROKCZ@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

They said at the beginning of the year he’ll be missing more of this year than previous years. Seems he’s starting to wind down for retirement and this year has a lot of races to cover. Even crofty is going to miss a few races with the calendar this full they said

Drusenija@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

That's fair enough too. Man has earned some rest! As long as that's all it is, was worried maybe he'd gotten sick.

calamitycastle@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Man's getting on. Can't be long before Alex Brundle gets the call up.

Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de · 2 pts · 2y

Perez is getting lapped today. I am calling it

Edit - Perez has picked up the place since I made this comment

Dang, bad pit stop for Russell. Gasly had a slow rear right tire change too.
