Sergio Perez somewhere out there laughing

No one improving times and Oscar strolls in with "I'll go even faster" πŸ’€

At the rate Lawson is going they are going to rip him outta that car by lap 5 of the race.

Either Max is an alien and his driving style makes the car undrivable or there really is a curse on that second red bull seat.

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 8 points 6 months ago

At this point I'm convinced Max would dominate the field if he drove the RB instead of the RBR (just joking)

George's helmet must be sooo roomy, just listen to that echo!

Albon beats Sainz yet again in quali. He's been doing really well so far.

VCARB drivers punching above their weight.

[–] GreatRam@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Low key I wonder what Max could do in the vcarb

Bearman's quali was butchered by not sending him out again.

Lawson 20th.. not looking good for him.

Doohan also under so much pressure, making a lot of mistakes.

Lawson's Redbull career could be very short lived at this rate...πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ.

Who do they replace him with? Burn out Hadjar too?

RBR should suck it up and put Tsunoda in the seat. Tsunoda is clearly fast and he said the RB20 "suits my driving style" which means RB21 should also be up his alley.

[–] fisco@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 months ago

Tsunoda outperformed both Danny Ric & Lawson, and yet was overlooked, he's more experienced, has matured, and should have been the first choice to partner Max ...

[–] SleafordMod@feddit.uk 5 points 6 months ago

My hope is that Norris wins the race, although I'll be happy if it's anyone except Red Bull.

[–] Nighed@feddit.uk 4 points 6 months ago

There we go, McLaren has taken the sandbags out

Man, the Racing Bulls are fast.

LAW 🀦

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Lawson last again. I don't remember his qualifying comparison to Tsunoda last year, whether he's a good qualifier or not – but at this point Red Bull Racing should simply shut down their operations. It's embarrassing how bad their car is.

[–] Wrongdoer4094@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What? Red Bull should shut down? What are you saying?

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

They should be embarrassed how bad their car is. It is not driveable and has not been for years now. Nearly every driver was able to drive the sister team's car in a more consistent fashion than their main team's.
