Antonelli is flying. Overtaking two cars at once like it's nothing. Tossed in a few Mario Kart mushrooms with that new engine.

WTF is this F1 Gigs during the pre-show. I usually like the interviews and analysis during the pre-show. But now it's some sort of 80s music channel? Seems like what a boomer thinks the young folk would like or something?

Yeah I hope they keep that lip syncing bullshit in Eurovision from now on... That was horrible.

Yuki got a point!

Bademantel@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2d (1 reply)

He might get a penalty for the way he parked his car on the restart.

hypeerror@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 2d

No further action! Wooooo!

2023 2: Mercedes Boogaloo

Starring:

Andrea Kimi Antonelli as Max Verstappen

George Russel as Sergio "Checo" Pérez

BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com · 8 pts · 2d

The fuck? Why did they cut cameras just when Russel and Leclerc pass Gasly?

lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2d (3 replies)

Leclercccc

Not at Monza noooooooo

lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2d (2 replies)

Hope he's ok. He looks distraught.

Ashwag@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 2d (1 reply)

Yeah, hopefully not injured. Always crazy how fast they go into walls.

Thorry@feddit.org · 1 pts · 2d

Yeah the cars always look slow while going super fast. It isn't until they go off or make contact you can see how fast they are actually going.

It's crazy how safe these modern cars are. I will always remember Alonso in 2016 being launched like a rocket, doing a full flip right into a wall and somehow being injured but mostly fine in the end.

Wild race.

Poor Ferrari...

hypeerror@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 2d

Those were some self inflicted injuries. I think Charles had meth for breakfast.

Ashwag@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 2d

Let's go Racing! Hopefully the first few corners are exciting again.

What is PIA's and HAM's strategy now then?

Ashwag@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 2d

I imagine Hamilton is just going the distance.

lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2d (1 reply)

That disintegrating tarmac got to Antonelli?

Bademantel@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d

The marbles surely didn't help.

WanderWisley@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2d (2 replies)

Who survives turn 1?…

hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 2d (1 reply)

Kimi, he's gonna have the best view of the pile-up too.

WanderWisley@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d

Facts!

Smart move from Colapinto to dump battery and overtake Piastri when a safety car was coming.

hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 2d

With Russell pushing so hard I'm not sure his tyres can last to the end either.

Nighed@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 2d

...I think he is better than Max. Man is a monster!

mamg22@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 2d

Leclerc crashing on all home grands prix (driver and team), yeah...
