Last-to-podium in the wet by a driver holding the record for most race starts without a podium. Might be the most DotD of all the DotDs.

First podium for him since 2012 for him. so great.

I think you meant first podium for Sauber since 2012.
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 1y
Yeah I got it wrong

Super happy for him! Love to see it.

Wow. Really good for him
birne@feddit.org · 4 pts · 1y
His first podium ever, not since 2012. He was close in Brasil 2012, but threw it away.

8 seconds to ham, want both on the podium, very conflicted
Worx@lemmynsfw.com · 7 pts · 1y
Easy, we just have an angry Piastri take out Norris then go Hulk for the win, with Hamilton and Stroll on the podium.
Don't dream small
DV8@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Either Norris or Piastri, or both spinning off would also do it.

“unluckiest driver” in the world
Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 2 pts · 1y
I don't think the quotation marks are needed there. Though today it wasn't really luck. Aston just chose to fuck him while at the same time pulling a strategy masterclass on Stroll. I'd be pissed too.
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 1y
true but having a shitty strategy doesn't make you unlucky per say.. I'm surprise no one tried the wet tires
Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 5 pts · 1y
It's not even close to wet enough for full wets. Visibility means we will never see them used as they require conditions that are currently considered unraceable.
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 1y

If that isn't a 10 second penalty for Piastri I don't know what is. Even Norris almost crashed into him.
Edit: called it. DC and Palmer are delusional that they think it's fine.
Nighed@feddit.uk · 2 pts · 1y
The problem is that that means nothing, he is so far out front compared to max.
Pardal@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Max did spin after that safety car incident, so the penalty is still fair…
Worx@lemmynsfw.com · 3 pts · 1y
Yeah, but he didn't spin due to Piastri's bad driving though
Nighed@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 1y
Sky commentary says it was done to make max get cold tires, so maybe
DV8@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Commentators have favourites, especially Sky. Even Palmer and DC are still unwilling to admit they're wrong and that Piastri did anything wrong. Which is absurd. If the two cars behind you almost crash into you, you made a mistake.
It's such an obvious unsafe way to drive that nobody could expect him to het away it. Especially because he's not British like Russell.
Nighed@feddit.uk · -1 pts · 1y
I'm saying it needed a bigger penalty too
DV8@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
I literally hope Max has a miracle win, but you can't blame Piastri for that.

Effective P2 with the new penalty for PiastriNevermind, McLaren are already too far ahead for 10s to matter
lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 1y
Slicks seemed to have been a bad gamble. The VSCs ruined all chances of gaining track positions before the next spell of rain.
Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 3 pts · 1y
It was a worthwhile gamble to take for those who did I think.
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 1y
well the F2 earlier try the same and had similar bad luck. It's Britain, it rained

hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 7 pts · 1y
Yeah RIP Max with that low downforce setup, McLaren is even stronger on a drying track with their tyre magic (if it stops raining).
And now that it's a confirmed wet race I'm swapping Ferrari for Mercedes in my fantasy team.
Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 4 pts · 1y
With the amount of downforce these cars generate I bet that slimmed wing is still a net gain around here up until we start nearing the crossover between inters and full wets. And if those are the conditions we won't be racing anyway.
DV8@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Overtaking on a semi wet track is no small feat. The normal line is quickly going to be a lot faster so as long as he can keep ahead in the first lap, he's looking good to win.
Neither Norris nor Piastri will want to risk slipping off the track and possibly lose 18 points to each other. Either of them risking this past lap 1 would be considered as taking a high risk for a low reward.
Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 6 pts · 1y
Antonelli needs to live up to his reputation from the junior series as a wet weather bandit. He's in a great spot here as first of the slick runners.
lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y
Looks like it's raining again. Hopefully it makes for an interesting race.
Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 4 pts · 1y
We all do whenever it rains, but instead we get postponed race start until conditions are barely damp enough for inters, with everyone switching to slicks within a couple of laps and no overtaking being possible due to only a single dry line existing.
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 6 pts · 1y
and safety car again
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 1y

Very mature response from Piastri even after Jensen Button asked him again. You could tell he was getting upset then he just stopped talking before he said something really silly. And remembered to congratulate Hülkenburg in the interview and Norris immediately after getting out of the car

Yeah, but i don't think he really noticed how much he used for breaking. he lost like 100mph for the break. Crazy
