Antonelli saying he can still fight for a point is some real black knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail energy.

[โ€“] tixooo@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Dude feels like a real one NGL, I like him

[โ€“] Bademantel@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

No restart? What a disappointment.

[โ€“] Etnaphele@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Whatโ€™s strange is the โ€œSafety car inโ€ message and then nope it keeps out. It was a very 50/50 chance of them being able to do 1-2 laps unfortunately

Ferrari missing out a 1-2 because of strategy, good result but still managed to fit in a small screw-up in the end

Edit: Audi points yay! :-D

shame Hulkenberg once again with reliability issues, bro can't catch a break (or some points either)

[โ€“] Etnaphele@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

It was the right call, Ham had very old hards vs Rus with newer Mediums (I think). But somehow the FIA manages to mess it up again (I mean with the โ€œSafety car in this lapโ€ message and then: โ€œups naaa that jestingโ€)

[โ€“] mamg22@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fair, if we had one last racing lap it would have been a great shakeup on the front, Russell could've taken the chance for P1 and probably some fight for podium. But yeah, race got FIAd

[โ€“] Etnaphele@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No way Russel would have been able to attack, with both Ferraris having Softs. All in all, it was a hard call for Ferrari and they thought they would have had 1 or 2 laps left. I donโ€™t see it as a big mistake.

I'd still make the same call now, I think

[โ€“] hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Alonso with the Sonny Hayes strat lmao

[โ€“] tixooo@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

dude its going to have PTSD from AM after he retires.

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Antonelli the only one going Medium-Soft (presumably) is ballsy.

[โ€“] Nighed@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 1 points 1 week ago

I guess it won't matter, but I would have liked to see it.

[โ€“] Nighed@feddit.uk 3 points 1 week ago

Everyone is just getting out of ferraris's way ๐Ÿ˜†

[โ€“] Etnaphele@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

How do they do it? How do they always ruin it one way or another? FIA must only hire patented idiots looks like

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why the fuck so they swap front wing in this instance when it's likely suspension damage? Bizarre hahaha

[โ€“] Nighed@feddit.uk 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He came in so fast, they didn't know what was wrong

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's still so weird to me, Kimi says something fundamental is wrong and they're like "I guess we'll change front wing ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ". I am not an engineer or aerodynamicist but I don't understand what that would fix in this case.

[โ€“] birne@feddit.org 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

They just do it because it doesn't hurt. The car will stand there for at least a couple of seconds so why not? What if they realize after 5 seconds that it was the front wing? Better start changing it as soon as possible.

[โ€“] frank@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 week ago

Gives a little time to do visual inspection on the front suspension too! You only have a few tools in the toolbox with a ridiculously vague problem statement so might as well try a few things to maybe not have to come back in

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

A front wing change typically adds 10-12 seconds to a pit stop.

[โ€“] birne@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, but how likely is it that they find and fix the unknown issue in less than 10 seconds? It's really unlikely that changing the front wing will hurt.

oh fuck that

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's not an F1 race if Max isn't complaining about downshifts.

[โ€“] tixooo@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

what else does he have left haha let my man breathe haha

[โ€“] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Give us the lap 1 incident replayyyyyy. Why the delay.

[โ€“] tixooo@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

what happened to Piastri ?! Why did he get so much damage ?

This race is not THAT bad ... i expected worst. I am pleasantly surprised. Its not anything spectacular but shit is happening on the grid, and it does not seem synthetic.

[โ€“] Nighed@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Doesn't help they are not showing all the overtakes.

[โ€“] tixooo@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

im already used to this crap idk...>

[โ€“] hypeerror@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It was the right call to keep Leclerc out. He's got a better chance of defending for 12 laps than catching kimi in 12.

[โ€“] tixooo@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

and now even better!

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 1 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Antonelli starting to catch Charles now slowly.

[โ€“] tixooo@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

not only that ... he is aware of whats happening around him, i am very surprised of him!

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There's a reason Toto has been keen on him since he was 12. His hype was for a reason, if anything I was surprised at the amount of people writing him off during his slump last year despite the promise he showed through junior categories.

[โ€“] tixooo@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

I was actually surprised from him and bortoleto, Kimi made a good impression on me last year as a rookie. I dont understand the people that were writing him off, he seemed to have great potential, raw talent, it was about time to be polished, it even happened too fast!

was it already confirmed that Max is going to start from the Pitlane ?

[โ€“] BowserBasher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Seems like heโ€™s starting on the grid in 7th. At least thatโ€™s what I just saw after the grid walk and a quick chat to him.

[โ€“] tixooo@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

its going to be a very hard day for us Max fans ... I think the next few races are going to be in the same ball park haha

[โ€“] tixooo@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

saw the interview with Max ... dude simply said the car is the same, its bad, starts are going to be bad, and race pace is dead. Well ... I will have a very hard week again I presume haha

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[โ€“] tixooo@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

This is crazy! This is the second time ...

[โ€“] Nighed@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ves is closing on ham quite fast

[โ€“] Nighed@feddit.uk 4 points 1 week ago

Not fast enough though unless Lewis screws up.

Lmao Ferrari engineers falling over the barrier.
