No one telling Daniel to back off and try again is pretty sad, not sure if it would have mattered though.

[-] Aarrodri@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Probably not enough gas?

[-] exanime@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

It wouldn't have ... If he didn't have enough gas there was no time for about stop.

In any case, he didn't show anything hiring at performance in the practice runs or earlier quali laps... Unfortunately he is not in the form of years past and by now I doubt he'll get there

I mean you could see on the broadcast,he went completely wide.

They should have cancelled that lap and try to get a fresh lap in,I can't recall if they had enough time for that.

[-] DV8@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

I think it was around 3 minutes and something left when he went wide. Considering how fast he was in that lap he might not have had enough fuel for that.

[-] wes@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah maybe they had the time but not sure if they had enough battery or the best tire temp for another run. But it would have been worth a try.

[-] UESPA_Sputnik@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

They just showed an onboard replay on F1TV of HUL being impeded by PER in the penultimate corner. Should be a grid penalty for PER.

[-] Aarrodri@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah. Which should make for good battles tomorrow having that rocket in the middle.

[-] ABeeinSpace@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

It was. 3 place grid penalty for PER for impeding

[-] frank@sopuli.xyz 6 points 7 months ago

Whew. I stayed up in the US, and all I got was a business as usual.

Good showing from albon, tsunoda, and Carlos for sure

[-] Aarrodri@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Same here.. But was worth it to see Carlos and Yuki.

[-] alphacyberranger@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago

Life,death,taxes and Max lol

~~It~~ He is inevitable

Ham out....ouch

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Not sure what Gasly was trying by crossing the pit line at the end.

[-] graeghos_714@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

While it's pretty cool to have a generational talent, it's making the winner almost preordained. I was sort of hoping the Marko issue would get him to leave for Merc so we'd have more balance by not having him in a Newey designed car anymore.

[-] GreenEngineering3475@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Anyone knows, what happened to Albon?

[-] alphacyberranger@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago

He might be playing it a bit safe, coz of the huge responsibility to bring in points this weekend especially after Logan's sacrifice.

[-] 50MYT@aussie.zone 1 points 7 months ago

He was hammering it pretty hard through 9 and 10.

Would wiggle on the limit 10 exit a few times.

[-] alphacyberranger@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

Unlucky Zhou as always

[-] alphacyberranger@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago
[-] exanime@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Yes, what's wrong with them? They had a bad season last year but they basically fell off a cliff this season

Alpine is this year's Haas

[-] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

We should give mercs the 'masters of free practice' title because that is the only place they are quick

[-] GreenEngineering3475@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Ferrari got pace.

[-] GreenEngineering3475@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Piastri reporting floor damage.Might have went on kerbs on Turn 10.

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Dang was hoping to see a Ferrari 1-2. Max manages to eke out a banger every time.

[-] GreenEngineering3475@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Max and Carlos front row.

[-] hal_5700X@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Albon proving the swap was the right thing to do.

RIP Hamilton. He's already thinking about next year.

Sainz is on the warpath. I'm loving it.

[-] exanime@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Absolutely.... If Carlos keeps this up, I'm betting he'll replace Perez at RB

I do think Sainz deserves a seat in a top team... Even a Russell Sainz combo would be so much fun to watch with Merc

[-] soEZ@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

So much hope for that...might make next season super fun assuming he performs as well in rb as in ferarri...next year might be super fun to watch even if rb keeps dominating. Seeing how lewis does in a Ferrari will be fun...and how he manages fights with lacrec, hopefully sainz to rb and he brings a good fight to front. See if merc finally figures things out or keep trying for next upgradeTM.

[-] exanime@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Agreed πŸ’―

[-] D2Rave@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago

McLaren 1 2 calling it now

Ferrari can make it real difficult for Perez,if he doesn't find pace here.
