Wow wasn't expecting that last second swap. Not sure how I feel about it.

It was returning the favor for Sao Paolo but last second swaps like that still feel weird to me 😅

"The team told me not to do it" lol

Risky for sure!

Rare to see Verstappen lose so many positions during a start.

?? Wonder why Checo had that slow start off the line.

Austrian commentators sy that he was looking to the right instead of the left of the circuit (the lights are on the left)

Ayo Perez 😭

Pretty awful start for Lawson

Down 7 places yikes.

Why the fuck are they just showing gaps to the leader in the timing tower?!?
They need to show intervals as soon as DRS is enabled!

Ah finally, lap 7... -_-

What was with both the Red Bulls? Felt they didn't have any pace at all!

Microw@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Apparently they felt that as well, given that they hd Perez run a different wing for half the sprint

Yeah and whatever changes they made after that stint actually helped in race qualifying. It was a stupidpenalty nonetheless.
