Apologies in advance that the post-race topic will come before the race ends. I should have known with Spa to add a couple of hours in the schedule -__-

in the word of Hamilton: unacceptable

Critical info in case you missed it.

The Beekeeper? The Jason Statham one that I still haven't heard a single thing about? Weird choice for the F1 marketing department to assign that ๐Ÿ˜‚

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Well I miss the snapshot of Leclerc favorite pre race meal being pasta with oil and Parmesanโ€ฆ totally ground breaking too. Thanks god the rain stopped

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 year ago

Aston Martin ahead in the race

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Letโ€™s go. Rain time ๐ŸŒง๏ธ

Spa 2021 flashbacks intensifies

Meanwhile cars have inters bolted on. So just put on the fucking wets and go racing and let the drivers use their fucking judgements. It's not fucking rocket appliances.

[โ€“] Etnaphele@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Itโ€™s a visibility issue, full wets would only exacerbate the problemโ€ฆ I agree with the frustration but I must admit it makes sense

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 6 points 1 year ago

I don't think the full wets would make things worse even, it's these fucking ground effect regs diffusers that cause all the spray. Which would be acceptable if we still had good racing in the dry, but the FIA have given up on that too and just let the teams bring back dirty air anyway.

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

what a race by Hamilton in 15 laps he is #7. well done.

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Everything's aligned for him so far. Good payoff for the wet setup, perfect timing on reading the crossover and good driving from him too of course.

Memory lane for Hamilton & Rosberg.

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Calm and solid race by Piastri. Few fumbles by Norris including the start, but good perf by Mcclaren. Good race for the juniors (no DNF). Good perf by Ferrari with podium for Leclerc and come back from Hamilton to 7th from 18th.

Drivers are allowed to exceed 10 car lengths distance to the next car behind the safety car as long as they stay below 20 car lengths.

[โ€“] jwt@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

"30 car lengths shalt thou not be apart, neither be thou apart 5, excepting that thou then proceed to be apart 10. 50 car lengths is right out."

Well... let's see whether that intensity is raceable. If not, they won't start they race for a while, since there is more of this rain coming after that from W-NW.

Edit: This is exciting. No sign of delaying the start. Rain will wind down a bit after the start, before picking up again. And maybe even with a short heavy downpour too. The drivers really have to prove themselves.

[โ€“] frank@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

Rain in Spa. My body is ready.

โ€ช@thomasmaheronf1.bsky.socialโ€ฌ

FIA anticipate the rain to stop at 4pm local time.

Targeting a start "as soon as the standing water has been cleared from the track". #F1 #BelgianGP

Todayโ€™s race: the weather report.

We might get a couple laps towards the end of the 3 hour race window, but it's never going to be a full race today. Sad times.

Edit: crofty and brundle just said in commentary that the 3 hours hasn't actually started because the race never started. I'm more optimistic with this information.

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hamilton flying with that wet setup, has to be wishing they green flagged earlier.

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

yeah I love when he got that type of mojo.

They should have just had the standing start and kept on driving.

[โ€“] mhague@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Rain and F1 :(

[โ€“] mhague@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Accuweather radar shows the clouds breaking up soon

Race resuming in 13 minutes!

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

and Piastri take the lead

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[โ€“] Luvs2Spuj@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

He's being out classed by Oscar this year.

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

yeah total fumble

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Was hoping for rain for an interesting race but it looks like the monkey's paw clenched too hard.

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Let's go #2

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago
[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

what a race by Aston Martin after 4 laps

[โ€“] Microw@piefed.zip 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Is that only my broadcast, or did the F1 intro just have a different music/score than usual?

[โ€“] mhague@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

On sky they had a different intro. It didn't sound like a cover of the theme either.

Let's goooo

Red Bull yesterday really was like "we'll optimize the car for a rain race although we know that rain races never fully get underway in Spa nowadays"

Curious if the medium will actually last 14 more laps or not.

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

I hope not so we can have some surprise

Good to see Antonelli making some moves, the kid could use a confidence boost.
