Itβ€˜s a miracle no one else got collected in all that

"Bono, I have no grip." - Antonelli

Close enough welcome back Hamilton.

Not Verstappen :O

That was a hard whack.

Leclerc has to be pissed at the Ferrari strategy generator.

HAM's softs are heavily used?

Fun watching this midfield battle.

Nighed@feddit.uk · 4 pts · 7d

Lovely battle

Not a single decent stop. Fastest so far was Russel, who somehow got 3.0 even though the mechanics weren’t ready. What is going on?

Narrow pitlane, no one goes in square to the crew I think.

jwt@programming.dev · 1 pts · 7d (1 reply)

If I'm not mistaken, the 3 seconds is measured from the car becoming stationary until the pit light goes green. Narrow pitlanes aren't a factor during that time.

Ashwag@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 7d

Yes, but the crew all train for a perfect aligned car. That's why they all practice hitting their marks.

When the car is askew / not on its marks it's a bad pitstop.

Following the sprint, I was expecting a bit of a snooze fest, but interesting race from a strategy perspective.

Ashwag@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 7d

I hope Ferrari just manage to go the distance on the softs. Pick up 2-3rd πŸ˜‚

Edit: as I post they all pit...

belluck@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 7d (1 reply)

How many stops has Piastri done now? 5?

lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 7d

4, Same as Leclerc and Antonelli.

lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 7d

What is happening with Russell and his race starts. Caused quite a ripple with Piastri into Leclerc into Hamilton into Verstappen.

hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 7d

Mercedes??

Ashwag@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 7d

Well, I suppose this will be a standing restart?

Ashwag@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 7d

The summer break return is always interesting πŸ€”πŸ€”

Ashwag@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 7d

15:33 restart time.
