I'm already wondering what to do for the next three months.

If you really can't get enough and are subscribed to F1TV, you could space out a season from the archives between now and March

Slogan@fedia.io · 6 pts · 2y (2 replies)

For years (or decades to be honest) I was dreaming of having an archive like that. Now when I finally have F1TV, I haven’t really watched the archival stuff at all. Maybe this winter I should

TheRealKuni@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

I recommend 2012, it’s such a good season.

I tried this a few times, but if you already know how it ends, it kills a lot of the suspense.

NoRamyunForYou@lemmy.nz · 3 pts · 2y

Damn.... I forgot. What a depressing thought lol.

I love looking forward to the new cars though :)

I'm sorry, but wtf is ferrari trying to do with Sainz? They're going for the 2 stop, but I don't think Sainz will be able to fight through the pack to get the points for the 2nd

SatouKazuma@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Apparently they're going for the "Hail Mary and hope for a safety car" strategy.

Wtf???

I thought Hamilton was making that stuff up, but Alonso went off throttle/braked in the middle of the straight

Yuki is the second Japanese driver to ever lead a GP!

Bro, the one day I am tifosi and they fuck this up spectacularly.

Sentau@feddit.de · 3 pts · 2y

I don't know man they did fine. Sainz was just slow. I don't see any strategy that ends up with him ahead of hamilton

Is it just me or did Lewis overtake off track t1 l1 like every race since Austin

SatouKazuma@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Man, we could have had a Yuki win at one point. Pain...

Might be a team error, which would be a fine instead of a punishment for the driver.

EDIT: apparently several crew members have not had their visors closed properly.

I understand strategy, but this is absolutely disgraceful.

DV8@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Really? I love this. It's pure F1. Finding ways to win by bending the rules as hard as possible.

dimspace@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y

Nah, I thought that was great

If only Charles had done it maybe 1-2 laps earlier

Says a lot of Ferrari strategy that Leclerc is team strategist

oxideseven@lemmy.ca · 0 pts · 2y

Oof and George just saying thanks to Charles for playing it clean and just then learning it was actually quite dirty hahahah

TheRealKuni@lemmy.world · -2 pts · 2y (5 replies)

Pérez is garbage. He can’t get that Red Bull past a McLaren without hitting it? What a joke. Get him out of that car, he doesn’t deserve it.

SatouKazuma@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (4 replies)

I don't know...I'm not sure that was a deserved penalty.

TheRealKuni@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I don’t think he deserved the penalty, I just don’t think he should’ve been in the situation in the first place. That car is dominant, he should be sailing by everyone else like Max does.

Edit: Not that I expect him to be as good as Max, but I expect him to be doing better than he has been.

SatouKazuma@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Fair enough.

TheBlue22@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

More of a racing incident

SatouKazuma@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

That's what I was thinking. Stewards absolutely fucked this one.
