Verstappen is an idiot who only knows how to drive and start in first.

Edit: both RBs drive like they're alone on the track

VER needs to be DSQ-ed. Guy is fucking dangerous with his red mist.

[–] flabbergast@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Fucking finally, 2x 10s penalty!

And another 10 for overtaking and gaining advantage. Howcome now it's 10 seconds, and not last week?

I don't think a penalty is undeserved, but I thought the first 10 seconds were 2 times 5 combined for both incidents or something. It seems very excessive at this point. They essentially killed the most interesting part of the race with this.

At least Perez made it past the first ~~corner~~ straight this time.

Aaaand he picked up a penalty already. This man..

Perez was wayyy off his grid position.

The interaction between Perez and his race engineer was comical.

I mean, this should really be a penalty.

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

People are gonna make gifs of him sitting out that 20 seconds penalty

[–] hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

If I were Lawson I'd be scared for my life with Perez behind

Edit: Looks like some sidepod damage on Perez' car

[–] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

That was very China ~~2017~~ 2016 between gasly, albon and tsunoda

Are all of them driving like idiots now?

Perez-Stroll and Lawson-Perez are under investigation, Colapinto did a stupid move on Piastri..

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 7 points 1 week ago

Write stupid rules, get stupid races. This is all on FIA and the stewards. You reap what you sow.

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 15 points 1 week ago

Another 10 seconds penalty for Max

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 13 points 1 week ago

Can't say this kind of driving is endearing Max to me.

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Aston Martin says Alonso's retirement was due to a brake issue related to cooling

https://twitter.com/ChrisMedlandF1/status/1850642118764888509

Unfortunate. Uneventful end to his 400th race weekend.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 7 points 1 week ago

Going by the radio transcripts on Multiviewer something got stuck in a brake duct and they overheated instantly

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Smooooooth operator

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 12 points 1 week ago

Track temperature has dropped by 5 degrees, could impact the grip a lot says Wurz as we see marbels

Everybody boxing to get fastest lap and Norris simply tries to go for it with his old hards lol

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Leclerc omg

[–] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This first at apex shit has to change or else both Norris and max will just race to the apex without any regards to making the corner

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 9 points 1 week ago

100%, the rules need fixing and fast.

[–] Nighed@feddit.uk 8 points 1 week ago

Wowe, 20s total penalties

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Contact between Lawson and Perez. Perez has a small hole on his right sidepod.

Another 10s penalty for Verstappen wow.

[–] hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago

I'm all for Red Bull downfall

[–] Pringles@lemm.ee 8 points 1 week ago

My completely non-expert prediction: Max goes back to winning ways after Sainz overcooks his engine while Norris gets taken out by a Mercedes. Perez ruins his race trying to get past Magnussen and Hulkenberg finishes in 5th.

Norris gaining slowly on Leclerc. He has 15 laps – plenty of opportunities to try and overtake.

[–] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Lando in that McLaren is so weirdly gentle on the tyres. Like his outright pace is not ahead of the others but he seems to have minimal degradation. Either that or else he is taking it too easy at the start of the stint and not maximising the entire stint.

Man everybody is fighting like crazy this weekend

[–] PrincessKadath@ani.social 6 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Still no mariachi theme. Sadness.

[–] PrincessKadath@ani.social 4 points 1 week ago

IT'S THERE!

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

It has happened! I'm now at peace.

[–] PunchingWood@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

They used it for the line-up song lol

Haas holding steady with 7th and 8th. Kmag's keeping up with the Mercs. Impressive stuff so far.

Ferrari benefits again from the VER-NOR sparring.

[–] PrincessKadath@ani.social 5 points 1 week ago

Ouch. There goes Yuki's chance.

[–] PrincessKadath@ani.social 5 points 1 week ago

That was close for Charles.

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

The return of VER-PER, but on the last positions of the field

[–] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I get 10 seconds for the T8 incident but for T4 10 seconds seems excessive especially considering Norris kept the place after T4 by going off track

[–] jimbolauski@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

I'd like to see the telemetry data, Max could have turned into Norris on T4, which would explain the 10s penalty.

[–] Nighed@feddit.uk 6 points 1 week ago

I think it's because this one might have been a deliberate decision to run him off rather than them both outbreaking themselves. (Maybe?)

Remember that the driver steward changes ever race (as well as the other stewards?)
