Colapinto is flying 👀

Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 5 pts · 1y

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

Holy shit Williams

Norris out in Q1 👀

wes@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y (4 replies)

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

Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 3 pts · 1y (2 replies)

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 pts · 1y

Yellow blocked DRS I think? Or just caught by yellow

Microw@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 1y

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 pts · 1y

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

AliSaket@mander.xyz · 3 pts · 1y

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.

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

Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 4 pts · 1y

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

rodrigodias@mstdn.social · 3 pts · 1y

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

That was embarrassing from Williams

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

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

cheddar@programming.dev · 4 pts · 1y

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

cheddar@programming.dev · 1 pts · 1y

Mistakes happen. That could be worse.

Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 6 pts · 1y

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 pts · 1y

The rookies did well

flabbergast@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y

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

Thade780@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y

Lando, NOOOOOOOOO!

Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de · 4 pts · 1y

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

Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de · 3 pts · 1y

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

Aarrodri@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

I guess no team orders will be needed (mc)

Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de · 3 pts · 1y

How did Williams forget that airbox

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

I was driving. The fuck happened to Lando¿?

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

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

Unfortunate

Microw@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 1y

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

f1ip@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

PER finally beats VER in qualy!!!

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

alphacyberranger@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 1y
