Lawson is doing a great job

No further action on the lap time violation by Sainz and Leclerc is typical FIA lol

But nice to see Carlos on pole!

TheDynamiter@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

I think that no penalty here is okay. If it was for getting out of Q1 (and without that lap ferrari would have been through as well I believe) i would see a penalty fit. But where there's no real damage done, I dont see the need for a penalty

But of course it had to be Ferrari doing that shit

Come on Sainz race engineer. “we have it” sounded so sad

I'm convinced Ferrari develops their car every year with the explicit goal of being good at Monza

espentan@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

If they don't embarrass themselves here they buy a lot of goodwill with their fans, I suppose.

Asifall@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

That would be a very on brand thing for them to do

Stroll showing why Aston should have no doubts over their decision to retain him.

specialneedz@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 2y

I’d quite like to see Albon partner Alonso next year

alphacyberranger@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y

Lawson very impressive

Neonridex@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y

SAINZ ON POLE DAMN!!

alphacyberranger@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y

Williams shining on this track

nerdschleife@lemm.ee · 5 pts · 2y (4 replies)

Just remove Stroll from this sport...

wes@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (3 replies)

What is happening with Stroll, I mean this is not a too difficult track and still he is last.

Nighed@sffa.community · 6 pts · 2y

He only had 30 laps practice

Microw@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

He only ran one practice session and he always sucks at quali if he doesnt get to practice a lot

CineMaddie@lemmy.film · 1 pts · 2y

Which honestly makes perfect sense. Maybe he lacked confidence to take the car to the fullest due to that.

I'm excited to see the alternative tire allocation again this weekend. I thought it was an overall positive change in Hungary.

After reading the FIA-document on this, I actually tend to agree to this decision ...

It's almost scary that I just typed this without trying to make a joke...

espentan@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Fearing for their lives. The Tiffosi would slaughter them

lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Sainz 🙏

Slogan@fedia.io · 2 pts · 2y

So happy to see Ferrari on pole in Monza!

espentan@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Nice lap by Albon! Hope he can keep this up in Q2 and Q3.

Polyester@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y

Stroll sucks so bad it's unreal

espentan@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

That was fun! Nice for Sainz, and Ferrari. Happy tiffosi everywhere.

Microw@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y

Stroll always falls off a cliff once he hasn't had three practice sessions before quali... it's just painful to see

alphacyberranger@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (3 replies)

What rule did Ferrari break exactly?

specialneedz@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Minimum lap time, introduced to stop the unsafe queuing towards the end of the lap

espentan@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2y (1 reply)

*maximum lap time.

Minimum lap time would be cool, though.

frank@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 2y

It kind of exists in the 107% rule

Stroll is 20th mate.

What is this dude doing

Nighed@sffa.community · 3 pts · 2y

He only had 30 laps practice

Microw@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y (2 replies)

What can the race director even do as a punishment against Leclerc and Sainz for being too slow on the cooldown lap? He can't exactly take away their fastest Q1 times, can he?

specialneedz@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Grid drop, probably 3 places

ripened_avacado@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Nooooo
