McLaren strategy disasterclass?
DV8@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 260d
They do ofcourse know the next lap they will put in, which is useful to know, but it does seem like they might lose track position because everyone got bunched up again.

Good stuff for Sainz with P3
scottrepreneur@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 259d
Love to see it
Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 13 pts · 260d
That was some coke-fuelled pit stop action. 1.8!?
hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 11 pts · 260d
Antonelli secret McLaren agent. First Austria now this.
lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 260d
Damn. Mega unlucky for Hadjar. He was flying today.
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 9 pts · 260d
du du du

Piastri looks so out of it on the podium. Still thinking how his team has cost him the race.
flabbergast@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 260d
Race direction AGAIN failing to show actual gaps between cars... Morons.
flabbergast@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 260d
Finally, intervals at lap 11... -_-
Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 3 pts · 260d
I can't imagine watching F1 without Multiviewer.

Damn, this 'Abu' guy came out of left field to nab the championship.
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 260d
what a beast!
Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de · 8 pts · 260d
Crazy car performace for McLaren. Seeing this, one questions how max is even in this title battle
DV8@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 260d
Indeed, this makes me suspect they'll have enough pace to catch up to Verstappen in their last stint.
Goodeye8@piefed.social · 2 pts · 260d
Not on hards they won't.
Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 7 pts · 260d
This Alonso train sure is something. He's actually going to buy the McLarens a pitstop window.
DV8@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 260d
Damnit Nando, stop creating this kind of chaos
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 260d
yes Hadjar and Russel must be loving it....
hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 260d
Is that Kimi going slowly?
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 7 pts · 260d
they did not show I hate how they skip most important stuff at the end.
Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 4 pts · 260d
Either damage, puncture or maybe low fuel or something. He was crawling for that last two laps.

This has the potential to be:

watching it on my PC instead of the TV so I can start up a game at the same time...

Choo Choo train
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 260d
bad pit stop for bearman
lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 260d
1.8s pit stop? Wow. McLaren did the same here two years ago.
lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 260d
Norris staying ahead of Alonso is great for him. Good pit stop.
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 260d
yes great timing.
DV8@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 260d
If they don't make Lando the P1 driver now if Max is ahead of both of them next race they are even dumber than we've already seen.
Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 3 pts · 260d
Norris damage? He was pretty harsh on the curb there
lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 260d
Verstappen is gaining like crazy on him.
Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de · 2 pts · 260d
Drama already.
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 260d
Damn hadjar on his way out at 2 lap til the end!
Nighed@feddit.uk · 2 pts · 260d
Nooo hulk!
Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de · 2 pts · 260d
Now the true pace advantage of the McLaren cars will be revealed. At least for the first few laps, their pace has been incredible.
lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 260d
Welcome back "penalty for not serving penalty correctly" Ocon.
Edit: No further investigation.

and it 's back on!

lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 260d
Norris might run out of laps to catch Sainz.
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 260d
yeah that is sure
lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 260d
Looks like he might run out of laps to catch Antonelli as well.
lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 260d
Ah unfortunate pitstop for Bearman.
DV8@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 260d
I doubt Antonnelli will even try to defend, but imagine the world where he actually keeps him behind him...
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 260d
He is defending!
DV8@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 260d
He is indeed! Great to see. Will be exciting to see what happens when they get within a second of Sainz.
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 260d
Max is going to use those hard till the end
cyrano@piefed.social · 1 pts · 260d
Let's go!
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 260d
as of lap 22
Damage@feddit.it · 1 pts · 260d
Guys I think "papaya rules" means "fuck Norris over"
rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 260d
They fucked both of their drivers this race 😂
DV8@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 260d
If it hadn't been used to fuck over Piastri as much, I would agree. It's just a stupid saying they have hoping that their drivers never have to actually go head to head directly.
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 260d
not really they hoped for safety car and with no max they will have been safe potentially
Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 260d
Are laps under the safety car counted¿? I don't remember
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 260d
yes
DV8@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 260d
They count in different circumstances, so why wouldn't they?
Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de · 2 pts · 260d
Less load on the tyre since they are going very slow and not hitting the curbs? It does seem it is counted
lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 260d
It'd probably be hard to keep track of slow vs fast laps so it makes sense to count any and all laps.
DV8@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 260d
That Ocon pitted after the fact makes McLaren's strategy seem even worse than it already did
cyrano@piefed.social · 1 pts · 260d
Most boring circuit ever.....
Pringles@sopuli.xyz · 0 pts · 260d
Calling it: the Mclarens both out in turn 1 after Georpedo bumps Norris into Piastri.
Illegalmexicant@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 260d
My wife also agrees that George will take out lando.
Nighed@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 260d
George is going to need a race and a half to get back into a position where he can do that now!
