Lewis is familiarizing himself with Ferrari strategies - "big opportunity missed there.."

I swear the more chaotic a race gets, the more powerful Stroll becomes.

espentan@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 1y

He himself is chaos and so he's in perfect harmony with his surroundings.

Noooo Oscar

Such a pity :/

Lawson crash. Bortoletto out. Antonelli and Bearman are the only rookies left.

espentan@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 1y

Surprised this Alonso fella hung in there for so long - not easy being a rookie in conditions like these.

lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Really nice to see Anthony Hamilton console Hadjar. Sweet gesture.

An unfortunate incident, but he'll learn.

frank@sopuli.xyz · 4 pts · 1y

Anthony Hamilton is a 5 star human being

Microw@lemm.ee · 15 pts · 1y

That shot of the two McLarens sliding left and right while Max just drives through on the road lol

Microw@lemm.ee · 14 pts · 1y (3 replies)

Is it time for the rookies to crash again?

espentan@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Yes, it was!

Microw@lemm.ee · 5 pts · 1y (1 reply)

I admit, I did write this after I saw Bortoleto and Lawson crash and not before

Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de · 3 pts · 1y

Disappointed

lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 1y

Alonso crashes. Another rookie out..

Haas has a different weather app for sure

It’s the Hulk overtaking boot camp

Microw@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Well he immediately made use of his training by overtaking Stroll

TentinQuarantino@feddit.org · 3 pts · 1y

He learn fast 👍🏻

Microw@lemm.ee · 10 pts · 1y

Oof, three cars out already

Ferrari really set out to harass their drivers today

Ferrari really set out to harass their drivers ~~today~~ the last decade

Doohan 😭

Rookie massacre out there.

lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 1y

Sainz too omg????

espentan@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 1y (11 replies)

This might get a bit spicy. Probably not the conditions the rookies dreamt of, for their debut race.

wes@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Poor Hadjar

lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 1y

Omg

There goes VCARB's celebrations about him having the best quali out of all the rookies.

listener17@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 1y (2 replies)

I knew it was going to be brutal for the rookies, but man that sucks for Hadjar. I doubt it'll be the last rookie crashing out.

Microw@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Sainz counts as a rookie now?

GoatTnder@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Justice for Logan Sargeant!

Bloodbath for the rookies

Entropywins@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 1y

Press the button Hamilton...

_ed@sopuli.xyz · 7 pts · 1y (1 reply)

If the rain hadn't hit the track it could have worked out for ferrari - to be fair Lewis was on the bad end of some bad Merc calls last season so hes probably used to it.

Looks like Ferrari and Redbull have a bit of catup to do. Antonelli did well.

_ed@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 1y

Lewis getting lots of unwanted info from the pitwall was gold. I didn't get a sense of how the Mercs were doing. Will get to see if they are as mercurial as last year I guess.

lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Kinda miss Will Buxton for the grid walk.

wes@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y

Glad Coulthard is still around for commentary

hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 6 pts · 1y

Another rookie out 😭

Microw@lemm.ee · 6 pts · 1y

Verstappen didn't box to be opposite to Norris

Microw@lemm.ee · 5 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Fernando, the chad he is, taking his hands off the wheel when crashing.

So many drivers don't do that, and we saw with Ricciardo how it can end..
