Norris ππππ
Couldn't have done it in a more difficult way π
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 13 pts · 260d
NORRIS got it!
Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 11 pts · 260d
I've complained about Norris's race craft before, but that double overtake was slick.
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 260d
yes he did what he had to do. it was clean
lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 260d
Stroll on fire with the P10 to get Aston Martin one point ahead of Racing Bulls in the constructors'.I was wrong. VCARB is ahead. F1TV commentators misled me.
troed@fedia.io · 1 pts · 260d
Really? Damn the Swedish Viaplay commentators really missed that
hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 11 pts · 260d
He overtook off track tho?
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 7 pts · 260d
he was forced to
TheYang@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 260d
Well, he could have backed out. (Which would have been safer)
With this ruling FIA says that that's not required.
Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 2 pts · 260d
Looked like it on the replay
Shieldtoad@sh.itjust.works · 9 pts · 260d
I hope we get some donuts when this is over.

I gotta say that during Max's resurgence I was seriously debating not renewing my subscription for next year. I was just bored of the entire sport even though everything is so close and it's much more thrilling than those dominant seasons we've become used to.
I'm sort of excited for today's event but I'm not 100% sure I'll be along for the ride next year. You get maybe 6 interesting races, the rest is all just processions that take a couple of hours.
Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 6 pts · 260d
Next year is the biggest regulation change in decades. DRS will be gone. There'll be another team on the grid, or two really with Audi. And the first year of a set of regulations is always crazy cool imo. Development race will be wild, we'll have many different aero concepts at the start, the new engines will probably have reliability issues for a while...
Of all the times to stop watching, this one I can't really understand. If course if what you want is tons of overtaking and wheel-to-wheel then there is no guarantees, but when was that ever guaranteed in F1?
TheWeirdestCunt@lemmy.today · 3 pts · 260d
I'm glad I don't pay for it, I definitely wouldn't have stuck around in 23 but hopefully the new regs don't lead to the same thing happening again
SneakyWeasel@lemmy.ca · 7 pts · 260d
Omg that yuki block was scary...
LemmyBruceLeeMarvin@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 260d
It looked dangerous. I wouldn't put it past him to just accidentally take Lando out...

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 7 pts · 260d
This is it! Folks it has been a pleasure following this season with you!
lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 260d
Tsunoda's now the one ahead of Norris. Japanese minister of defenseβ’οΈ activated.
rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 260d
Four racing laps to go, utterly tedious in the podium places for almost the entire race but some exciting battles going on down the field!
itisileclerk@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 260d
Team orders in Monza were crucial for this championship. Who would know?
troed@fedia.io · 6 pts · 260d
THE HYPE IS REAL
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 260d
JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 260d
Hopeful, but resigned to the obvious. It'd take a fuckup of monumental proportiona for lando to lose this one.
Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 3 pts · 260d
Yeah we basically need three cars to be faster than Lando. Even if Max wins and Russel gets second (not unthinkable), McLaren will just ask to swap positions if Piastri is third. So we'll need another podium crasher and I just can't see it.
Luvs2Spuj@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 260d
Going off previous form...
Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 5 pts · 260d
Lawson does love a 5 second penalty for causing a collision, doesn't he?
Microw@piefed.zip · 5 pts · 260d
Given how many drivers have been hated by fans for driving reckless, I wonder why Lawson isn't more unpopular
Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 2 pts · 260d
Yeah I don't really get it either. I think he got some sympathy from how fast and unceremoniously he was booted out of Red Bull, and maybe that lingers a bit?
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 260d
Nice overtake by Norris on Tsunoda
Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 4 pts · 260d
Alonso is going to back up the whole grid to give Stroll a free pitstop π
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 260d
the train master
Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 3 pts · 260d
He sadly didn't have enough time to do it before Stroll's tires fell of a cliff
itisileclerk@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 260d
Finnaly after 4 years SKY F1 are happy.
hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 8 pts · 260d
Best outcome: Norris fans are satisfied with his WDC, Verstappen fans are satisfied because he was the best driver this year.
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 260d
yeah and that podium reflect the season too. 3 of the best drivers and cars.
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 260d
Hamilton going to end 7/8 aligned with the whole season...
Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 3 pts · 260d
Not surprised the stewards didn't want to penalize Norris there. Will Red Bull file a complaint?
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 260d
what penalty Bro ? ;)
Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 3 pts · 260d
Great racing by both Alonso and Piastri there!
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 260d
yes Alonso is really impressive.
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 260d
SneakyWeasel@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 260d
I really hope lando doesnt botch this. It almost seems like hes nervous to try and be around the top 2
Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 6 pts · 260d
It's a little bit boring, but it's the safe way to do it. Just cruising to 3rd should be very easy for him and that's all that's needed.
Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 3 pts · 260d
I kinda called it
Luvs2Spuj@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 260d
Terrified of Lando having to get past Stroll unscathed
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 260d
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 260d
Luvs2Spuj@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 260d
I can see Lando getting a 5 second penalty, which would really mess up any team order options for McLaren.
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 260d
or better, 5 sec penalty coming after the WDC is given to Norris.... more drama
Microw@piefed.zip · 2 pts · 260d
Yuki "Kimi" TsΕ«noda
hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 260d
A mechanic grabbed Tsunoda's tyre before the penalty was served so expect another penalty.
lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 260d
Again?? Same happened in Brazil.
Haven't heard of any investigation regarding it.
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 260d
yeah I haven't heard neither
hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 260d
My bad, the mechanic was just floating their hand. I think you can see why this angle is confusing.
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 260d
oh shit
lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 260d
Brave overtake. Lando needed that pass on Antonelli (again).
lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 260d
That double overtake on Stroll and Lawson wow.
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 260d
lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 260d
Final race let's go π«‘
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 260d
Luvs2Spuj@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 260d
I hope the first corner is clean
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 260d
your wish was granted
itisileclerk@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 260d
If Mclaren didn't make team orders in Monza, today would be "winner takes it all".
Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 1 pts · 260d
4 second stop for Alonso of course π
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 260d
Max going to do 48 laps on medium
Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 1 pts · 260d
Come on Leclerc, be a hero of the people and overtake Norris.
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 260d
Lawson being easy with Norris and Leclerc
Microw@piefed.zip · 1 pts · 260d
Lawson had no DRS, but still for it being Lawson it was quite non-defensive
decipher_jeanne@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 260d
itisileclerk@lemmy.world · -2 pts · 260d
There is no way in hell that Lando get pennalty. He can do whatever he want, stewards(most of them british) have his back. This is the situation if you play in world cup final and referee is your fan.
cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 260d
if you look at how Tsunoda behave vs Norris and vs Leclerc it was wrong behaviour with Norris.
itisileclerk@lemmy.world · -5 pts · 260d
SKY F1 comentators are disgusting!
rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 260d
Why, what happened? :o
itisileclerk@lemmy.world · -2 pts · 260d
Yep, they are, more and more.
rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 260d
Wait did you reply to yourself agreeing with yourself? π
