What a legend πŸ˜‚

God, I love Alonso radio. So funny.

This one was almost too painful to be funny.

rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 303d (1 reply)

I agree, but it's just so easy to vicariously live through Alonso's frustrated radio messages. I'm sure many of us would like to talk to our bosses and managers the same way πŸ˜‚

Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 3 pts · 303d

Watch a SC come out in perfect timing to let Stroll finish in the points too and Alonso might actually become the Joker.

JingoBingo@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 303d (1 reply)

Imagine if Hamilton or Verstappen said that. The internet would call them whiny bitches.

rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 303d

Other people might say other things about other drivers.

I think I'd find it relatively funny if anybody said it, but obviously different drivers saying the same thing is a bit different because of the context of who they are and how they act normally.

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 303d

yeah that was a funny one

lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 303d

McLaren really opened up a can of worms with that driver swap in Monza. Expecting similar team radio requesting swaps until the end of the season.

lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 303d

Good grief McLaren what is going on with your pit stops.

Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 8 pts · 303d

Brother this Aston team is killing me. All that from Alonso for a ten second stop, fuck me.

rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 303d

Sauber deploying genius pit lane strats by letting tires roll into the fast lane πŸ˜‚

lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 303d (1 reply)

Hoping it'll be a good race to justify me having to wake up at 5 AM πŸ˜…

Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 7 pts · 303d

That's a big ask considering it's Singapore.

rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 303d

Jesus that Colapinto Vs The World battle was stressful!

rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 303d (5 replies)

So are we gonna ask Norris to slow down for three seconds because Piastri had a bad stop or that's not how it works this time?

Also Bearman, what a move!!!!

Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 1 pts · 303d (4 replies)

Nah this was a planned slow stop to give Zach's number one driver the edge he deserves. All according to plan.

rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 303d (3 replies)

Mm I'm not sure there's a conspiracy against Oscar; most of McLaren's slowest pitstops have been for Norris, for instance.

Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 4 pts · 303d (2 replies)

I was just making a joke. It's pretty clear Zak and Norris have a special relationship and you can see Zak get much happier whenever Norris wins compared to Oscar. But no, any match fixing conspiracy that they have Oscar have a slow stop on purpose is obviously nonsense.

rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 303d (1 reply)

Oh I see lol, sorry, I assumed you could be serious because there are some out there that believe that!

Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 3 pts · 303d

Look at this shot of Piastri noticing McLaren celebrating the WCC without him and you might understand where the jokes come from.

Verstappen holding off Lando til the end was impressive.

rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 303d (1 reply)

Always love an unhappy Stroll radio to be honest πŸ˜‚ that was a proper tight squeeze from Verstappen on Norris there, very clenchy moments!

PrincessKadath@ani.social · 4 pts · 303d

His voice is always so high pitched when complaining.

rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 303d

Very impressed by Lando there, thank god for some actual racing - Piastri is whinging a bit but to be totally fair the McLaren team have been fannies by making him switch back for a bad pit stop for Lando before so I don't blame him for asking πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I would love to be a fly during McLaren's debrief.

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 303d

haha! so true

rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 303d (1 reply)

Yessss Oscar has finally stopped playing the team game by the sounds of it! Put Lando in the dirt, Piastri πŸ’ͺ

rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 303d

Sadly Piastri seems to have forgotten that he has to drive fast today.

Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 5 pts · 303d (2 replies)

Hadjar helping out Verstappen while being lapped is just one of the things that make Red Bull so hard to root for.

wes@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 303d (1 reply)

I kind of missed that I think, how did he help out? I thought Hadjar let both cars pass at the same time?

Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 4 pts · 303d

Got told on the radio to help out Verstappen and especially make sure he got DRS to defend.

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 303d

Damn I was having high hope for Hadjar

krimson@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 303d (1 reply)

Damn, Russel is unstoppable.

Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 4 pts · 303d

He is still somehow underrated. I think he's pretty clearly the second best driver on the grid currently, behind Max.

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 303d

Lando, Oscar had a slow pit, would you mind slowing down a bit.

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 303d

Typical Max

next lap

hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 303d

Meatball for Norris? πŸ€”

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 303d

Let's go!

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 303d

half way

Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 1 pts · 303d (1 reply)

Do Aston feel like the Hards are so bad here that they want to extend this Soft into a Medium? Or are they just hoping for a SC?

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 303d

maybe SC or tire management issue from the previous session ?

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 303d

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 303d

Safety car?

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 303d

Solid Russel so far
