Really didn't think the Mclarens could hold that on the hards. That was spectacular.

Hope we dont have track limits ruining the race afterwards again.

Just 3 more laps Norris pls stay within track limits 🙏🙏

If this works out and Norris holds for the last few laps from Hamilton, oh my god.

Awesome start by Lando. Feels like Max is inevitable though.

7

Both mclarens managed to pull a nice gap from Ferrari though! These upgrades have been amazing for them.

It wouldn't be an F1 race without a funny Ferrari radio.

Insane stuff from Norris. Holding off Hamilton while on the hards is such a monumental feat.

Unfortunate situation for Piastri. Deserved that podium, but I think he'll be happy with a P4 as a rookie.

Happy to see Williams eventually get some points.

Disasterclass for Ferrari.

yeah not much happening rn. Unfortunately the rain just missed the track.

The McLarens have held onto their positions so far. Very impressive.

6

I'm not a fan of the team or the drivers, really, but it's always great to see teams stepping it up. Hoping for a competitive next season!

4

Yeah, I'm surprised with the McLaren performance this race. They've dealt with Mercedes so well.

Oh yes Lando! These McLaren upgrades seem like the real deal.

It definitely seems like the pack over the last few races are closing up to red bull (probably because they are focussing on next year)

Perez showing why someone else should be in that car this weekend.

I really hope lando gets a good start this time.

Piastri would have gotten third if not for the safety car. That's crazy.

Have fun today! I’m Dutch but I’m rooting for Lando today! 🚀

5

I really hope Piastri can make it to the podium but I think the Hards just killed that :(

Lando understandably pissed as hell

4

This race better not have a load of penalties given out in the next few hours due to track limits.

4

Well, Alpine taking the worst day trophy from under Ferrari's nose.

4

Looks like it already is raining. The colour of the track has changed.

1

also hamilton with softs behind norris on hards… maaannn cmon mclaren.

3

Norris squeezing everything out of those hards. 👏👏

3

I'm not that familiar enough with what it's supposed to sound like, but isn't that a rather poor interpretation of the British national anthem?

3

Such a shame to see him foundering so much in the 2nd quarter of the season. Would love to see a closer championship force him out and some driver shuffling!

2

It's a shame about AM, feels like they have fallen off in these two last races.

3

Seems like the timing of the SC essentially made it so that apart from a few unfortunate cars who came in early, the order is largely gonna stay the same, cause everyone is pitting. Oh well.

So how's everyone watching the GP here? I'm just casting my F1TV.

yep, same here. Wish it was 4K but oh well. Now if they could make it auto switch to 50hz so that it's properly synchronized that'd be nice

2

Yeah, I'd love a 4k HDR stream, but I'm not complaining for the price.

McLaren need to use both cars around the pit stops to try get past Max again.

2

I think they’ll be focused on staying 2-3 rather than gambling for 1st. Max is inevitable.

What are people’s thoughts on always having laps 3-5ish being dedicated to replaying the start?

on f1tv you get split screen view. so it does not bother me.

Ah that must be nice. It always seems weird to me that they cut away as soon as DRS becomes enabled.

1

yea I remember happening before f1tv when I viewed it on normal tv. Was really annoying.

Epic first lap! Anyone know if that’s just water splashing up when they clip the kerbs?

1

One stop will probably be faster than a two stop as far as I understand.

1

Not sure about Leclerc's defending earlier, but it'd a nice fun battle.

1

Is this new compound affecting AM and RBR's pace? Can see the rain falling in the distance!

lemmy.one

What's going on with Aston Martin? They're struggling and they had such a good start of the season.

Jacob93reply
sh.itjust.works

Mercedes, Ferrari, and McLaren all brought pretty major upgrades in the last few races and AM haven’t. It’ll be interesting to see if they can cling on for the rest of the season. In situations like this the cost cap might make things less competitive since the established teams have such better facilities.

That tire difference is crazy... George just drove past.

1

They should do Softs on the mclarens. George did 29 laps with it.

Did Lewis just get old softs though? They definitely weren't shiny.

lemmy.world

I think Max is the only one with one new set of softs. He did one less run in qualifying.

2

This is why I'm confused. The tire age graphic says Max' and Lewis' tires are used both the same age.

1

Max used both his new softs in Q3. Nobody in top 10 had new softs

1

Must have missed that, the tire age graphics agree. But I find that's not that reliable.
