The marshall's dive into the barrier hole was great! 😅

woelkchen@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 72d

Dive bomb of the day!

PrincessKadath@ani.social · 7 pts · 72d

Yes, let's cover the overtake because we have to show Russell on a moped. 🙄

BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com · 6 pts · 73d

Sheesh, it's sad to see Russel's race end like that.

BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com · 6 pts · 72d

So, in the end, not a single spit of rain. McLaren strategists must be biting their fingers.

Three formation laps? Madness!

woelkchen@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 72d

Etnaphele@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 73d

Well that was anticlimactic

What were McLaren thinking by starting on inters?

BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com · 2 pts · 73d

Okay, amazing start from Norris... to be thrown away with a (necessary) Lap 2 pit stop 🙃

PrincessKadath@ani.social · 3 pts · 73d

Poor Arvid...

What was the latest VSC about?

PrincessKadath@ani.social · 5 pts · 72d (1 reply)

I think they finally cleaned up the outside of the hairpin. Would have been nice if they showed it. 🤷‍♀️

BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com · 2 pts · 72d

There was a race control message about a marshall on turn 12, so I guess it was to clean up the straight after the hairpin

I am looking at the F1TV pre show (and Indy 500) but i am wondering, why am i seeing Juan Pablo Montoya and his son all the time throughout the weekend? It feels like Juan Pablo is really pushing to have his son in the spotlight of F1(TV)

Inter drivers are expecting chaos and a safety car/red flag?

Where do they have to get to for updated positions to apply after a red flag?

Nighed@feddit.uk · 2 pts · 72d

He's still got it!

hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 73d

Wow

PrincessKadath@ani.social · 2 pts · 73d (1 reply)

What happened with George?!

Nighed@feddit.uk · 2 pts · 73d

Engine failure

Etnaphele@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 72d

Mercedes powertrain really bombproof today (or maybe McLarens gearbox is not provided by Merc?)

PrincessKadath@ani.social · 2 pts · 72d

Great move from Lewis!

BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com · 1 pts · 73d

Obligatory "Russel is mowing the lawn"

hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 73d (1 reply)

Locking up makes you go faster, amazing

PrincessKadath@ani.social · 1 pts · 73d

Looks like you are right.

PrincessKadath@ani.social · 1 pts · 73d

My blood pressure can't take all the excitement for the 1-2 fight.

PrincessKadath@ani.social · 1 pts · 73d

I am having 2016 flashbacks.
