I loved how he had to even spell it out for his team that he was doing it on purpose when they told him norris was .8s away.

Hamilton got what he wanted.
Message that Russell needs to push, Russell pushes straight into a wall, Hamilton takes 3rd.
ApexHunter@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 2y
Nothing to do with Hamilton. Russell was following Norris's line. Norris clipped the wall before the corner. Russell clipped it at the same place, just a bit harder and broke the car. If he didn't break the car he would have gone around the corner just fine.

Just bad luck, really. They gambled and it didn't pay off, they probably knew that strategy was a big risk
Hazzard@lemm.ee · 5 pts · 2y
Don't think RB cared about points here. They risked it all to continue their first place streak with a reckless moonshot strategy, and it didn't happen. This was the most likely outcome, and they knew that.
WDC and Constructors are still easily theirs.

They had to finnaly Ferrari has some darn strategy
tetelestia@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
Ferrari tried to sacrifice Leclerc, but in the end it was just a double stack pit stop right ahead of them and then driving mistakes by Leclerc himself.
Maybe the trick is they need to actively try to sabotage one of their drivers to have a strategically decent race.
Sentau@lemmy.one · 13 pts · 2y
Russell is not ready yet. Hamilton would have won if he was ahead
reddit_sux@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
That's an interesting take, would have been great. But reality is it is very hard to overtake on that track unless you have at least 10kph speed difference and the person ahead has difficult drive. Lando is a good driver and has kept Lewis at bay previously.
Sentau@lemmy.one · 2 pts · 2y
2 things. Russell almost got by Lando and Lewis has much more experience than russell. The combination of these things leads me to believe that Lewis would have gotten past Lando. Once Lando would have been cleared, Sainz would have been a sitting duck.

There goes the "will they, won't they?" of Red Bull taking all of the wins this year. Good work from Sainz, Norris and Hamilton; that was a bit embarrassing from Russell.

Hands down best race of the season. And all it took was for RedBull to not be around.
lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2y
Disastrous pitstop for Alonso. Did the rear jackman prematurely drop the car?
hydrashok@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 2y
They said during the broadcast that the car slipped off the new jack design and so one side was still on the ground. Likely had to wait for the left side to change tires before dropping and relifting the car so the right side could be taken off and replaced.
lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

It sucks for LEC but it totally helped SAI. When the SC came out LEC dropped back by more than 5 seconds so that nobody even entered the pit lane before SAI was serviced. That led to everyone being lined up right behind LEC.
It was self inflicted but for the greater good.

hydrashok@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 2y
It was a poor strategy, IMO.
RB should have started on mediums or even softs and assumed there would be a safety car.
Then they could have pushed up and pitted for new tires with everyone else. Starting on the hard tires would have been a good strategy on a different track, but the hosts were saying on the preshow that there's been a safety in every previous race.
Of course, hindsight is 20/20, and if there had not been a safety, it may have been one of the greatest wins ever for RB that we'd all be gobsmacked about for years, so who knows.
Apicnic@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 2y
Anybody dislike the production today even if the race has a great end? It felt like it took so long to see replays of any significant incidents/moves, if we saw them at all.
Plus, it was great to watch the four racing at the end for so long, but why take away the time splits? They just showed like lap times between two drivers at a time for all of it.

I think you mean race end. The first 45 laps were exceptionally dull
nosurprises@lemm.ee · 9 pts · 2y
Sentau@lemmy.one · -2 pts · 2y
It was tense yes. But it was tense because everybody was waiting for others to make a move or a mistake(nobody was proactively trying to do anything). By that logic Monaco every year is similarly tense because people are often running nose to tail and hence Monaco should also be considered as good races.
Claidheamh@slrpnk.net · 4 pts · 2y
Yeah. This year's Monaco was a banger, like so many before it.
Sentau@lemmy.one · 2 pts · 2y
There have been like 3-4 good Monaco races in the past 15 years. Out of the three-four good ones, 3 were good because of rain/variable weather. Occasionally it could be a good tactical battle revolving around the pitstops(see Monaco 2022 and 2023) but overtaking is too hard now to have excitement in dry conditions
Claidheamh@slrpnk.net · 2 pts · 2y
I agree overtaking's too hard. But motorsport can be plenty exciting without overtaking.
Sentau@lemmy.one · 1 pts · 2y
I agree. But the has to be some avenue for possible changes to the racing order. Can't undercut in races like Singapore or Monaco because tyres take longer to get into the window and because the field is bunched as everyone is going artificially slow. Can't overcut these days because everybody is going slow and saving tyres.
Take Monza for example. It is hard to overtake there as well because of the reduced effects of drs and slipstream but the race is never boring because drivers are making a genuine attempt to overtake and all the off track tactics like overcut, undercut are also viable.
