Another VER win but he had to work for it a little. PER managing a very good damage limitation drive in ending up on the podium

Ferrari pulling off a double podium could have been a dream come true given where the team was a few weeks back. Alas, it was not to be. 2-4 is not a bad weekend though is it? If they can get strategy sorted out, the car seems to be getting there but tyre deg is still a touch too high.

NOR killing it today and putting that McLaren on the map yet again. PIA needs to step up or we will be talking about him getting replaced soon. I know he doesn’t have the upgrades this race but ending up rock bottom when your teammate rakes in points is not a good look.

ALO having a very lonely race but scoring some much needed points. STR just squeaking in a point was nice but he can and should be doing better.

HAM struggling quite a bit today while RUS seemed more comfortable with the car. But the car seemed to be genuinely struggling at this track. Let’s see what the British isles look like for this team next week.

GAS doing quite well to clock 2 points for the team. Too bad OCO could not be bullheaded enough to get some points today.

ALB and SAR having very good runs, a nice change for SAR huh? The Williams is easily the best if the rest at this point.

ZHO and BOT doing their usual thing. BOT getting squeezed at the start again and ZHO ending up ahead of him but not too far ahead.

DEV outperformed TSU today, a much needed performance but I am afraid it had more to do with TSU losing it rather than DEV rising to the occasion. Doubt it will cut much ice with Helmut.

MAG the lone Haas in the fight today and there’s not much good to tell. The car is a shitbox and there don’t seem to be signs of improvement.

Very thrilling race. 8.5/10.

Didn't piastri got his front wing yeeted by some1 else?

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

He ran into the back of a Haas I think at turn 3, but only because someone in front of him braked suddenly.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It's great seeing Albon able to race other cars now

Stroll got boned first by picking the wrong checkout line (inside) on the 1st lap, and then AMR pitting him just as the race went green again

Oh, and 5 sec penalty to OP, for exceeding track limits..

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

Yeah I’m ready to see Williams fighting for points on the regular

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

Easily the best race of the season in my opinion. Battles up and down the grid. Not too many dull moments.

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

Was a very lively race no? Think what it could have been if it rained.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

In the back of my mind I was secretly rooting for rain and a safety car finish. Maximum anarchy with the time penalties 😈

[–] Omgarm 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't see Piastri getting replaced this quickly. Especially not after all the effort they put in to sign him away from Alpine.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Remember what they say about F1. It’s a piranha club!

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

but tyre deg is still a touch too high.

I didn't think tyre deg of the ferrari's was high. They had similar deg to everybody else. It is just that the red bull is too fast

[–] Samwizegamgi42 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah think this is it more than deg. Would have liked to see what Sainz could’ve done of done if they switched at lap 5-7 or whatever it was

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yup. SAI got shafted a lot in this race. P4 was very well deserved, could have been better with a bit of good luck.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You are right. Post race Charles confirmd that tyre deg was within limits. I was mislead by strategists asking for 3 stop and thought there was a tyre deg issue. Fuck, Ferrari strategists are abysmally bad.

Update: The stewards have said they had 1,200 reports of track limit infringements to review. They sound as frustrated about them as we do. At the end of their statement they said something like, "As we have in the past, we recommend this track add gravel or grass on turns 9 and 10."

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

This race was decently entertaining, which is nice after some of the previous ones.

EDIT: LOL, Sargeant passing De Vries in the season standings.

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

Penalties for everyone 🤣

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

Indeed, I'd like to see Oprah Winfrey return as steward!

[–] baggyspandex 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Man, that fastest lap was a slap in Perez’s face.

[–] Tagger 7 points 1 year ago

Not as bad as a few races ago when Perez was given new tyres and Max slapped him down on old tyres.

[–] Omgarm 1 points 1 year ago

I mean, Max has always been adamant he is there to race. He will not give anyone anything for free during the race.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I’m glad Perez didn’t get driver of the day. Guy seems to bin it in quali then comes through the pack in the fastest car and every praises him for his comeback drive. Dude should be challenging his team mate like Rosberg and Hamilton when the Mercedes was dominating like this Red Bull is.

Instead Max is just on a different level. Pulling a massive gap in such a short track. Lapping 1 sec faster the Charles is just insane pace.

Looking past Max the race was pretty decent. Battles down the pack which is always good. Looking forward to the fight between Ferrari, Merc, Aston and now McLaren in the upcoming races.

[–] Acetamide 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah I'm really hoping that McLaren can keep the pace going and hope that Austria will be a big turning point in their performance.

[–] Omgarm 1 points 1 year ago

If you're watching Max at this point it's just to see how much he can squeeze out of the Red Bull. He's in form and the car is amazing.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I really enjoyed that race. There was some great racing and manouvers throughout the pack.

Max didn't have the lead for a few laps which felt different, and his strategy around the DRS detection point was cool to see. Reminded me of the games that Lewis and Alonso were playing in Canada way back.

It was also great to see Carlos be quite strong, and push Charles for a bit and defend from Perez for a few laps. And also great to see Lando do so well with the updated McLaren. Hopefully they can continue that form going forward.

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

What a cool race. Good to see Lando up in the numbers. Perez with a comeback, leclerc giving his best without strat errors and max putting on a show. Overall, an awesome race in my opinion

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

To Lando, it’s papaya.

Provisional* Weekend Warm-up Pundit Prediction Performance

* Subject to outcome of Aston Martin's protest of results.

Pundit__|1st_____|2nd_____|3rd_____|Points
==========================================  
Jolyon__|Max_____|Charles_|Lewis___|_____4  
Lawrence|Fernando|Carlos__|Max_____|_____1  
Rosanna_|Max_____|Fernando|Sergio__|_____4

Lawrence off the pace this weekend, with Jolyon and Rosanna picking up useful points to move them up the table:

Pundit (appearances)|Points|Average
===================================
Laura (7)___________|____18|___2.57
Lawrence (7)________|____17|___2.43
Jolyon (2)__________|____10|___5.00
Will (6)____________|_____9|___1.50
Rosanna (2)_________|_____8|___4.00
Alex (1)____________|_____4|___4.00
Sam (1)_____________|_____2|___2.00

Lawrence not fully taking advantage of Laura's absence to retake the lead, but closes the gap slightly anyway.

[–] Omgarm 1 points 1 year ago

Lawrence is high on that 33 hopium.

I am unable to edit the poster comment here and make it a spoiler. Please see the rules, we are enforcing a no spoiler on race day rule. The way Lemmy works with posters initial comment is still new to some people. At this time this won't be removed but please keep in mind that the Result section is visible on some platforms. In the future this will get removed.

[–] lazycouchpotato 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Spoilered it. Will keep that in mind for next time.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

fingers crossed Norris can get some good points again in Silverstone

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

They should optimise this track to reduce penalties

[–] Whelks_chance 2 points 1 year ago

Someone suggested grass on the edge of that corner so drivers would be forced to avoid it. Anything other than that and we shouldn't be surprised that the drivers use as much of the available tarmac as they can

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Maybe the best race so far this season!

[–] lemmein 2 points 1 year ago

Pretty ok race imo. A wild VSC/SC meant that for once RB engineers had to cancel their coffee break and actually do some work. Good scraps between the midfield. They need to start using narrow strips of grass to enforce track limits imo.

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

Like the race, something happening almost all the time. It became a bit silly with all the track limits, and them being handed out ~10 laps after the fact did not help anyone. Seems that there are more to come to mess up the final results.

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

Perez was really good today.

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

Lots of track limit violations, haven't seen those so often.

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

I suspect drivers are doing it every race, we just saw it get penalised here to a huge extent.

[–] Tagger 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My big issue with them today wasn't the handing them out it was the delay between the offence and the penalty - I think tsunoda had his black and white flag before he'd been told he'd gone over the line the first time.

Surely track limits should be an automated system that can inform drivers immediately.

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

Since track limits work off GPS data, in theory violations can be automatically punished. But teams will challenge those calls for whatever reasons, especially if a tangle of 2 or more cars is involved. So we are back to the stewards.

Ideally, there should be an extra steward at the races where track limits are an issue whose only job is punishing track limit violations. Since it's an obvious solution I doubt we will ever see it used.

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

That pit stop by max - fucking mad lad
