"Lando, Oscar has bottled his lap, it's only fair if you bottle it too."

the call of the wall

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 9 pts · 333d (1 reply)

so much drama in the last 5 min

RollyPolly@piefed.world · 6 pts · 333d

Really thought Sainz had it there, then Max did Max things

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 8 pts · 333d

Ferrari started well until....

calamitycastle@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 333d

Q2

frank@sopuli.xyz · 8 pts · 333d

48 minutes in until Q2, damn man. I am loving the Ferrari pace so far, I think Charles has a real chance of pole

hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 7 pts · 333d (3 replies)

Oh fuck Sainz pole

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 333d

for that short moment

RollyPolly@piefed.world · 2 pts · 333d

This could be amazing. Didn't have this on my bingo card

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 333d

damn with that red flag that might be final

BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com · 6 pts · 333d (2 replies)

I hope F1TV's "advertisements" for the Paddock Club during qualification session won't be a recurring thing.

rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 333d

Holy shit. I was so glad I watched a few hours late so I could skip. Hinch is annoying at the best of times but those adverts were fucking awful.

SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 333d

Probably because tickets aren’t selling well for the rest of the season.

RollyPolly@piefed.world · 6 pts · 333d (5 replies)

Damn 3 red flags and it's only q1. They seem to be struggling with the wind

wes@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 333d (3 replies)

Another one, gonna be some kind of a record of this keeps going.

RollyPolly@piefed.world · 2 pts · 333d (2 replies)

No 5. Now it's starting to get wet

RollyPolly@piefed.world · 2 pts · 333d

No. 6 lol This must be a record

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 333d

and another one... 6?

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 333d

yeah brutal

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 334d

gedək /let’s go

rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 333d

So exciting. What a session. What an upset. I do wish Verstappen wasn't such a spoiler in qualifying, but nobody can deny his talent - an amazing driver who works hard for P1 of course, but a Sainz pole would've been fantastic lol

BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com · 4 pts · 333d

Oof, that was the longest qualification I ever watched. It holds the record of red flags, but that was epic nonetheless.

hal_5700X@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 333d

Classic Lando bottle job.

Williams in P2!!

Ferrari 🤡

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 333d (3 replies)

tweedledee@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 333d (2 replies)

My stream dropped for 10 minutes, what happened?

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 333d

too late to push basically

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 333d

he just interviewed and said the wrong tires

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 333d

Missed opportunity for Mercedes and Norris.

lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 333d

CAN'T BELIEVE I OVERSLEPT AND MISSED IT LIVE.

Good grief. What a mad quali.

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 333d

putting my fake internet reputation point on Max and Isack in Q1

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 333d

wow piastri out!

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 333d

surprise rain for Q3

RollyPolly@piefed.world · 2 pts · 333d

Far out, barely even started Q2 and another red.

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 333d

Turn 4 is a killer today

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 333d

Lawson and Hadjar did really well

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 333d

max is a beast. very impressive how he deliver the performance.

Microw@piefed.zip · 1 pts · 334d

Something that came into my head: I wonder if its actually a good thing for Yuki that he didnt have all the simulator experience that Liam had when jumping into the RBR? That way he learned the cars difficulties on track, not on a computer that might not properly translate.
