Poor Sargeant. He gets a lot of shit, but that's gotta suck being sick out there, as hot and humid as it is. Yeah, nothing wrong with retiring if he really can't handle it anymore.

According to Dutch commentators he doesn't like to drink during racing. Could very well be the cause?

(I don't know if he was sick from the start)

Hamilton: I got taken out by my teammate.

Russell: I got taken out by my teammate.

Inserts spiderman meme

Solid stuff by Norris. From 10th to 3rd is quite the feat.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What a shitshow of a circuit. Too bad petrodollars speak higher than anything else

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I know. And we have this for 9 more years. Yay.

1.8s pitstop by McLaren, damn

Maybe he's trying to challenge Ocon's penalty record

[–] IamAnonymous 14 points 1 year ago

Perez lapped by his teammate.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Hopefully, Logan is okay.

I can't imagine being sick while driving a bloody f1 car. Sounds horrifying honestly

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Hey Lance, please let Fernando through. You're slow as fuck. Thank youu

[–] bwoah 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Sainz might be out with a fuel leak according to Albert Fabrega

[–] FrostyTrichs 11 points 1 year ago

Ferrari should just put him in the pit wall to call strategy for Charles. Maybe the strategists would learn something.

[–] espentan 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Definitely out, they're saying now.

Edit: Fuel leak. Probably close to the tank, or the tank itself, since they couldn't fix it in time.

[–] Jozav 4 points 1 year ago

F1TV says he will not take part.

[–] Thade780 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I am jealous, can I also get a five seconds penalty?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

FIA STEWARDS: 5 SECOND TIME PENALTY FOR CAR 780 (THA) - TRACK LIMITS

I still can't wrap my head around McLaren's turnaround mid season. If you only count the second half of the season, they would be well in the fight for the constructors championship.

[–] Luvs2Spuj 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think these forced tyre changes have ruined this races potential

[–] SuperIce 10 points 1 year ago

They need to change those curbs for next year. It's unacceptable to have curbs that cut the tires and force these kinds of restrictions.

[–] Jumi 9 points 1 year ago

Poor Logan, I hope it's nothing serious

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Perez grabbing a 5s penalty after he finally made his way to the front... Fuck's sake, Checo.

How are people blaming russell. He would have had to disappear to prevent contact

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Merc imploding spectacularly. I doubt Lewis is gonna like that.

[–] dimspace 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

After he sees the replays, he'll blame himself, I'm sure. He is not stupid.

I do wonder, though, what teamLH will say about it. Something insane as usual I presume

[–] ptrckstr 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The max stint of 18 laps should throw in some chaos.

Fernando has to pee in his own seat this time.

[–] lazycouchpotato 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Alonso noooooo

Just glad he didn't beach it.

[–] espentan 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That re-join, though. Geronimo!

[–] SuperIce 7 points 1 year ago

Bit of a jump scare for LeClerc

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Oh jesus... I just realised Max is already 23 seconds ahead while we're halfway the race.

Feels like a summary of this season.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

The cameraman filming Verstappens pitstop felt fancy with that camera toss.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think this race warms Marko to Perez.

[–] DV8 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If you get lapped by your teammate and are behind an Alfa Romeo, with a new engine, there's not a lot to be happy about.

Edit: behind 2 Alfa Romeo's. At this point they might as well put Ricciardo in the car when he returns so he can get used to it and let Lawson stay in the Alpha Tauri.

Wish Nico is the interviewer today

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Has Verstappen been out of the track limits this race? Earlier F1TV commentary said he was the only one who remained within the lines.

[–] espentan 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't think so. His teammate has that covered for the both of of them.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it's pathetic he's in 12th in the fastest car of the grid.

[–] Jumi 6 points 1 year ago

I don't think he was ever under enough pressure to make a mistake like that.

Another 5s penalty for Perez 🫠

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Tsunoda was all like: Either I'm making this move or I'm fucking dying, take your pick Albon

[–] scrotumnipples 4 points 1 year ago

"He turned in on me!" In 3... 2... 1...

Classic Merc
