Ooh, the world's biggest douche is attending, too (Elon).

[–] Lafrack 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I was wondering who would host him, looked like Merc?

[–] Vamanos 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Merc had prince Harry. Would be shocked if they had multiple high profile guests. Just from a logistics - must be nightmare being concerned for multiple ones.

[–] thimantha 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It was Merc who had both Harry and Musk.

Please no talking, I'm braking

He really can't stress that enough!

Seems like he was really not liking his brakes at the end there, and I can only imagine what it's like to have a voice pop into your ear while feathering a brake pedal going ~300 kph.

[–] Vamanos 4 points 10 months ago

I’ve used that twice today with my wife - also an F1 fan. When she asks me something I just go β€œno talking I’m braking” and she gets super mad.

[–] DV8 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Norris leading driver of the day for losing a place vs someone who gained 5 spots to win is so weird.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

people were hoping he could perhaps score his first win

[–] espentan 12 points 10 months ago (4 children)

"Hey, Leclerc, how do you feel about plan E, G, H and I?"

[–] espentan 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Brundle: "Ferrari with a whole filing cabinet of plans, again..".

[–] DV8 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

But wait, now the cars will race eachother.

Edit: wow, they acted reasonable this time.

[–] DV8 5 points 10 months ago

Traditions.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

It seemed like Ferrari had started being competent with their strategy. But this race seems to be showing that they've still got a few mistakes up their sleeves.

They shouldn't have left Leclerc out there.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

At a moment when basically their chances of a podium were gone. Too little too late.

[–] dimspace 10 points 10 months ago (5 children)

Mercedes have messed this up.

Lewis is losing time hand over fist on these tyres, and they will lose time hand over fist on the last few laps of a hard tyre.

They gonna lose way more than a pitstop.

Don't understand why they have committed to the strategy with both cars

[–] dimspace 5 points 10 months ago

on TV they are acting like its the counter-max strategy, but they should be worrying more about Ferrari and the constructors, not worrying about chasing the pink elephant that is Max

[–] dimspace 4 points 10 months ago

THIS is why I'm not a DS :D

Hehe, "he just needs to follow Max, so he'll be fine".

Horner on Perez's chances in the race.

[–] lazycouchpotato 8 points 10 months ago

Close one there towards the end. Two more laps and Hamilton would've had it.

[–] GeneralEmergency 7 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Nice to see Ricciardo still on the same form as before.

[–] dimspace 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Checo will sleep a little easier tonight

[–] espentan 9 points 10 months ago

Yeap, and Lawson rubbing his hands together, with an ominous look on his face.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

First race back, limited practice time, bad strategy. He's got a lot to prove, but it's a bit harsh to judge him on this race.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Brewing to be a potentially interesting finish

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Musk now owes the broadcast team a horse after that sucking off they just gave him.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

That was a great race. Big 2021 reminder to me. I know max had issues and a bad quali, but it was exciting to see him have to work for this one

[–] espentan 6 points 10 months ago

George: "Yup, I can make the tires last, I'll just make really wide turns, like I've been doing" /s

[–] lazycouchpotato 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Alonso up to 9th from a pit lane start. Great stuff. Whatever "upgrades" they brought on Friday were truly disastrous. Stroll up to 10th as well.

Hamilton slowly gaining on Norris. Will his tyres last till the end?

[–] lazycouchpotato 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Noooooo I jinxed Alonso :(

[–] DV8 6 points 10 months ago

Why did you do this? :(

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So, how many laps before Max is back on P1?

My money is on 10. Just to be cautious, he'll lose a place or 2 at the start, and then he'll start overtaking about one car per lap.

Dang Piastri retiring. Puts Ricciardo up in the points currently.

[–] lazycouchpotato 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Norris pitted? Wow.

Everyone else probably gonna pit as well.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Hey, at least red bull is actually being forced to react to other teams now!

[–] DV8 5 points 10 months ago

This seems like one of those times where Red Bull needed Perez to step up. Either by winning outright or by being a nuisance to the people chasing Verstappen.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Ferrari strategists strike again, incredible

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Has there been any hard tyre running this weekend? How good are the hards?

[–] espentan 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No running on the hards, I think? At least not enough to know how they'll hold up. Only one practice session, with focus on qualifying, and only mediums and softs were run in the sprint.

A controversial question, is Hamilton back❓❓❓

[–] DV8 3 points 10 months ago

McLaren is keeping it interesting. Though I do wonder why he wouldn't be able to run faster if they knew he was going to pit.

I would think that if the hards can last, Hamilton can win now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

F1TV via Multiviewer acting up for anyone? I'm having all sorts of buffering and hiccuping.

[–] espentan 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

F1TV in general is acting up a bit. Lot of buffering going on. Seems better now, though.

I loved that fan's reaction. I hope they came together.
