Me enjoying F1 on a Sunday. I hope you guys are doing good.

He got a good view of the Albon-Colapinto incident ๐Ÿ˜…

Oscar's snacks: two bottles of water and a banana.

[โ€“] matele@piefed.social 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What a fucking disaster for Oscar

[โ€“] Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@piefed.social 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Not that bad actually since lando bottled his race.

It was only a 6 point swing, equally as bad as him giving the position back in the previous race

Commanding drive by Verstappen.

Sainz smooooooooth operation. He won Driver of the Day but it was Russell for me.

[โ€“] Microw@piefed.zip 5 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Yeah Russell really did well. You can say Sainz, Lawson did well to hold up there in what are typically worse cars, but Russell actually is one of the few who moved forward

Finally a smooth operation by Sainz.

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 6 months ago

even the music was smooth operator in the background ๐Ÿ˜‚

[โ€“] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

Ah another slow stop for Norris. McLaren disasterclass.

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Cold temps and Merc look solid, it's a tale as old as time (or at least, as old as these regs).

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago

Yeah mercedes like a cold weather.

~~Piastri has also been given a five-second time penalty for a false start. As he's out and can't serve it, that will turn into a grid penalty for Singapore. #F1 #AzerbaijanGP~~

Max can stop and get some fries during his pit stop

[โ€“] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 6 months ago (5 children)

Piastri has been shocking this weekend. Atleast now the championship is now very interesting

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 months ago

Who the fuck is downvoting you for saying happy cake day lol. People are wild.

[โ€“] PrincessKadath@ani.social 2 points 6 months ago

Eh, didn't even notice. Thank you! ๐Ÿฅฐ

[โ€“] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

So the official risk of rain for the Azerbaijan GP, according to race control, is 10%. But James Vowles sounded pretty confident that there's a "rain storm" coming in around an hour's time. Let's see who's right... ๐ŸŒง

Baku should be a track with plenty of overtaking possibilities, for some reason it's harder to plow through the field than expected

Max delivered a strong performance, leading the race solo. Mercedes performed well, securing 2nd and 4th positions. Sainz executed a flawless race, finishing in 3rd in the Mercedes Sandwich. Lawson and Tsunoda battled for their futures, both putting in respectable performances but huge kudos to Lawson for his defence. Norris and Ferrari not great performance. Overall, with Hadjar finishing in 10th, it was a solid weekend for Red Bull Racing. Aside from the drama during qualifying and the first lap with Piastri crash, the race has been about tire management. so WDC for Max still in play?

Austrian commentary just said that Marko had a meeting with Lawson today. Apparently either him or Tsunoda will be out of Red Bull's F1 program next year, as they need to make room for Arvin Lindblad.

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Very curious to see how he does. I know Marko really rates him but his performances in F2 so far hasn't really been those of a generational golden boy.

[โ€“] Microw@piefed.zip 4 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Yeah IMO the way better play would be to keep Lindblad in F2 for another season, he's not winning the championship this season anyways

they should wait. The F2 folks aren't mature yet tbh.

what a start!

[โ€“] Microw@piefed.zip 4 points 6 months ago

Lando just threw that plastic bag into Lewis' car live on camera lol

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago

Piastri out!!!!

[โ€“] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Oh shit what happened with Piastri.

This driver's championship is absolutely wild.

[โ€“] Microw@piefed.zip 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Straight up unforced error from him, one of the few times this season

Tsunoda's situation is so weird. He is decently close to max in qualifying but the race pace is so poor. It was the inverse for both lawson and perez

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago

let's see. so far he is not doing too bad

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)
[โ€“] hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Max could do the funniest thing in Abu Dhabi

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 6 months ago

If you mean "win the WDC" then yeah, it looks like that's on the table again.
