Stroll upset he can't crash into other cars whenever he feels like it

[–] shikitohno@lemm.ee 14 points 6 months ago

Stroll just needs to be out of F1 already, he just keeps showing he is not on the level to do this. Guy makes the dumbest mistakes and never seems to own up to it. He's slow as hell most days, to boot.

What pissed me off was when he said on the radio that Ricciardo was an idiot for braking hard. I mean seriously?

[–] Pringles@lemm.ee 17 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Alonso not even getting slowed down by gravel.

[–] espentan@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago (2 children)

That was a beautiful save.

[–] lapes@kbin.social 7 points 6 months ago

And he just opened DRS right after as if nothing happened

[–] Pringles@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

It was incredibly skillful

[–] espentan@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago

Hamilton utilizing all his racing prowess to get past a.. Haas.

[–] Pringles@lemm.ee 12 points 6 months ago

Not a good day for the Aussies. Bottas out with engine troubles, Ricciardo and Piastri getting torpedoed by Stroll.

So nice to have Nico alongside Crofty. I love the insight he gives, really adds a lot to the race.

[–] hypnotoad__@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 months ago

I personally find him arrogant and grating. But he does have a few good analyses, I will say.

[–] Donut@leminal.space 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Not just insight, but also not afraid to push back a little against Crofty when he said Alonso's last stop was working out well. He corrected him by saying Alonso is making the most of a terrible situation. You don't see Martin do that too often.

Not saying Crofty needs to be 100% correct all the time. When you're talking for 2+ hours you're allowed to make some mistakes, as long as they get picked up and corrected. Like today. It was civil and nice.

Max was gaining nearly a second per lap 😡

[–] GreenEngineering3475@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Rebull pitstops are on another level today.

[–] alphacyberranger@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

And it was even a double stack

Both of them were double stacks and near or under 2.1 seconds

Racing Bull double dnf.

[–] Aurix@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Arbitrary safety car imho.

[–] TheBlue22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 months ago

That safety car took forever the hell?

Good job Norris.

[–] espentan@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Gasly a bit eager to get going again..

Now Perez gifted alonso to Norris with drs.

[–] Pringles@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Aston Martin took a page from the Ferrari '22 ~~play~~clownbook

Edit: Ok, since Alonso started banging in fastest laps this might have been a premature comment. We'll see

[–] espentan@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Rosberg emphasizing that he's serious when saying Perez is a quick driver, lol.

Safety car ending.
