Alonso, you magnificent bastard.

I don’t know if Russel is the whiniest shit on the grid or if they just televise his bitching more than others

Probably a mix of the 2

Fantastic racing from Checo and Alonso, that was so fun to watch
hillbicks@feddit.de · 15 pts · 2y
Hey, thanks for making these every weekend. I appreciate the effort you're putting into it!
I'm also looking forward to the race after the sprint yesterday, that was real fun. Still undecided on whether stroll takes out Perez or the other way around.....:p
TheBlue22@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 15 pts · 2y
What a finish, 0.053 is insanity.
Great job Alonso, kudos to Perez as well.
Interlagos brings the fun yet again, love this track.
DV8@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 2y
This camera direction is bad. Perez fighting Hamilton out of the pits and they're focusing on Stroll.

They'll join the formation lap, then head for the pits.

This TV direction is horrendous. Not showing us the battles that we actually care about.
JJROKCZ@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y
What you don’t want to watch the Mercedes struggle to drive straight or max just putting in laps a mile ahead of anyone for 2 hours?
espentan@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 2y
Alonso great at keeping Perez in the dirty air, making him use up his tires trying to get past. Interesting to see how this plays out.
espentan@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 2y
This is awesome to watch..

Ahhh, happy for Perez but Alo also deserved that one, too.

Stroll overtaking Russell wow
4am@lemm.ee · 7 pts · 2y
Anyone else notice Russel steal the place from Perez when SC was called? I thought there was no passing under SC, George
espentan@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y
It looked like they were uncertain as to whose place it was, Perez and George drove next to each other for a bit.
FrostyTrichs@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
That's how I saw it as well.
hillbicks@feddit.de · 2 pts · 2y
Pretty sure checo passed him after the SC flag came out, checo also left a gap then. I think checo would've complained otherwise.
Photographer@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Yeah looked like a slam dunk penalty to me
dimspace@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
yeh, looked like it to me, but they are so busy replaying other stuff weve not seen it again
espentan@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
From the onboard just now it seemed clear that Perez would've made the move on George if no yellow flag, but just as the flag came out George was just ahead of Perez. I.e. they assumed the correct order.

Amazing how Hamilton can be simultaneously too slow because he wants to go past, and too fast because he pulled away from DRS range.

Tell him to slow down or I'll over take and show him how to drive slowly!

Don't really think anyone has done anything spectacular this race. I guess Perez will get it for at least vaguely achieving what the car is capable of.
I've gone with Ricciardo for shits n giggles
espentan@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y
I agree, nothing spectacular that stands out. I went with Alo, just because it's nice to see him towards the front again.
Photographer@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y
Did you change your mind in the final laps?
espentan@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Haha, I certainly did! That vote for Alonso suddenly felt more justified.
Nighed@sffa.community · 1 pts · 2y
I voted for stroll because he wasn't awful for once
lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y
Hopefully that wasn't the last overtaking attempt for Norris.

Mercedes not having a great weekend here. That deg is bad. Being battled and passed up by cars that don't typically pass up a Mercedes...
Thade780@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y
Let's be fair to Charles. With Ferrari's strategists I would try to eliminate myself too.
SuperIce@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y
Yuki should've pit ages ago. Alphatauri having horrible strategy as usual.
Sentau@feddit.de · 2 pts · 2y
Alpha tauri's race operations don't deserve all the great drivers they have had in the team. So many strategic mistakes over the season
bedrooms@kbin.social · 1 pts · 2y
I was wondering when they pit, and then he started to lose a second after another. That said, the end result was not too bad. Maybe he lost one position (to Lewis). I don't think he lost two.
forsen@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y
I am not that familiar with the anthem, did the singer forgot her lines at the beginning or is the anthem like that? Because I swear I saw people still singing despite her being silent
4am@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y
There were tech issues with the broadcast during the Sprint Shootout, I wonder if she had a mic problem? It seemed to come back quite suddenly
JJROKCZ@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Her actual singing sucked too, stroll and a steward both were cringing
DV8@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Don't know it either but it seemed to be a very minimalist interpretation of it, as most national anthems are bombastic by design.

So anyone else who thinks Stroll will DNF before the end of first lap? I'm not a fan of his, so definitely biased but his best recent results were after he could get a safe start from the pitlane.
espentan@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
I'd say here's about a 70% chance he'll ram someone at the first corner?
dimspace@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

I'd say mostly for the Mercedes works team. Their engine is so good that even Stroll can get in the top 5 with it, except, their car is so bad, they can't do that themselves. And they might even get beaten by a Renault.
