Bottas and botched tyre nuts....name a better combo

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I wish Red Bull would just unleash Max instead of just telling him to build a ~15 sec gap and then drive to a delta. If we can't have competition at the front, at least let us watch Max lap the entire field.

[โ€“] dimspace@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If Red Bull do that, then F1 will start bringing a whole raft of rule changes mid season to try an screw over Red Bull and make them slower

(I mean they tried to do that last year with the floor rulings, but Red Bull ended up getting even better)

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wasn't the floor rulings a late implementation of intended porpoising prevention? Or was there another floor change I forgot about?

Also funny how by the time the floor change was implemented most teams had already fixed porpoising and all it accomplished was making following harder again.

10 laps, 8 seconds in front and not even trying.

Can we just give Max the title, let him take the year off and have a new competition for "second is the first winner"

Leclerc really struggling out there. Brutal.

Max's so ahead he'll reach Saudi Arabia for the next race by the end of this one.

Sainz has REALLY been performing and showing what he can do!

[โ€“] SlicingBot@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Interesting to put Checo on the softs.

No hards available.

Boy that sauber is.. green.. very green...

at least it stands out from all the blues and, well, blues

Max with another grand slam

Yuki getting the Ferrari treatment

[โ€“] JimmyMcGill@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Seems like it will be the same as last year

[โ€“] MaddieTian@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 years ago

Max is 15 second up the road. I was hoping for a better year with some actual racing involved.

Ah well. Guess Iโ€™ll try again in 2026 with the rule changes.

[โ€“] nerdschleife@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Why aren't we seeing pit stop times?

Alex have you tried restarting it?

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 5 points 2 years ago

Really looks like most people underestimated Red Bulls pace advantage, if anything.

[โ€“] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Brutal pitstop for Bottas. He's always the unlucky one.

Lawrence Barretto's prediction on Hamilton seems to be spot on atm.

Let's go Checo!!

Did F1 run out of contract with AWS to show us timings and stats or what? Or is AWS fucking shit up themselves as usual?

Is Zak getting paid by Sky or something? They always talk to him.

[โ€“] SlicingBot@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

They usually have several of the TPs and team personnel give commentary each race. They rotate week to week.
