Perez 😭

Congratulations Liam Lawson/Danny Ric on the promotion.

userdata2@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2y

I won't lie, I'll be slightly upset if DR gets the promotion before Tsunoda

upside431@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Will but seems hard to justify his seat in Red Bull.

I desperately want to see Lawson in an RBR car, but does he pass the Marko test? I can't remember the last time I heard him talking about him positively.

While we're at it, wouldn't mind seeing Hadjar in a seat for Danny Ric, see how he gets on.

That team breaks younger drivers and number 2s. I want better for Lawson than driving for 3 races and getting shit canned.

PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 2y

A fair point. I suppose the counter argument would be that they are at least cycling through the #2's in order to give them a pop at top-tier racing (Albon, Gasly, Max, Kvyat etc) while there are second seats at teams which are a literal career death sentence like Ferrari (Barrichello and Irvine to Schumacher, Massa to Alonso, arguably Sainz to Leclerc).

I just don't want Lawson "doing a Sam Bird" and being an incredibly talented driver waiting in the wings for a drive that never comes, that would be such a shame.

Coming from a long time Perez supporter, I'm well past the point of pulling for him and into getting frustrated with his continued poor performance. Given that he's chasing Max I think a couple slip ups or bad results are absolutely fine, but he can't keep binning it into the wall or ending up outside the points.

Know_not_Scotty_does@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

I want him to do better so badly because he is fully capabale of it. Its rough, both he and us deserve better.

mf really turned a 1+1 contract into a -6 month contract...

Mega lap by Norris.

Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 2y

That was a truly ridonkulous lap

FrostyTrichs@walledgarden.xyz · 1 pts · 2y

Fingers crossed it's enough.

Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de · 6 pts · 2y

Wow Hamilton scrapping by the skin of his teeth

FrostyTrichs@walledgarden.xyz · 6 pts · 2y

Perez chooses death yet again. Jeez.

L Plan

Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de · 5 pts · 2y

Unbelievable by perez.

Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de · 4 pts · 2y

Mercs weakness in session planning exposed. Shit like this is why merc and McLaren haven't overhauled RB yet

lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

Glad to see Tsunoda's ok. Geez what a crash.

FrostyTrichs@walledgarden.xyz · 4 pts · 2y

Holy shit.

fisco@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Perez's P45 incoming....

FrostyTrichs@walledgarden.xyz · 5 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Yeah tomorrow is going to turn into an extended testing session for the second Red Bull....

wurstgulasch3000@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Maybe they can build some data on who is gonna drive it after the summer break

alphacyberranger@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 2y

Riccy my boy

espentan@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

Perez..

Pelicanen@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 2y

McLaren is on fire today and Sainz is having a pretty good showing, I'm excited about this!

_ed@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 2y

McLaren likely to move second in constructors. A chance for some decent strategy vs the one Red Bull - can they pull it off.

BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Well, Perez can thank the rain for allowing him to start 15th rather than 20th tomorrow 🙃

Edit: welp, the rain is stopping, so I stand corrected

lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Rip. P16.

hal_5700X@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 2y

Just pull Perez. It's getting sad.

FrostyTrichs@walledgarden.xyz · 2 pts · 2y (2 replies)

The rain is on!

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

They're going out on slicks, for now - fingers crossed we're in for a spicy session

FrostyTrichs@walledgarden.xyz · 2 pts · 2y

Q1 should be wild at least, maybe the whole way through.

Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 1 pts · 2y

I'm not even surprised at this point. Checo in the rain is a match made in hell. Is there a worse wet weather driver on the grid currently?

lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Alpines didn't go out on track at all after the session resumed?

Looks like Russel had time for another flying lap at the end with everyone else, but just didn’t? Did he try but mess it up?

Edit: Ahh, he didn’t have enough fuel

Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de · 3 pts · 2y

Merc didn't fuel him up till the end
