Ferrari not pitting under the safety car.

Count that as the first strategy blunder of the day!

Once for a change they actually got this right.

Truly shocked that it worked out for them at all.

I fully imagined ill advised stops that put them both back into the DRS train. Not bad, Scuderia!

they may be gambling on more safety cars, but im not sure that would help them.

Because this one's going to bunch the field up. Another safety car in 5 laps and Ferrari pitting would put them 17th-18th

Three F1 communities across .world, .ml and kbin.. time to plant our flags in our favourite :D

As for the race... predictions:

  • At least 3 yellow flags
  • Alonso gets mad at someone
  • Ferrari amaze us with a strategy we've never seen before
  • George gets upset with Lewis
  • Lewis gets upset with George

Haha! I love cynical GP. "Yeah we got the message, just drive...."

I think that was was GP meant: "Sonny you're not fooling anyone driving faster than the rest of the grid..." Since I took Max message as mind games to goad tyre information from other teams.

Very surprised they didn't make him stop. Can you imagine the size of the accident if that fell off at 200mph with how close everyone was behind him. Could have ended up a multi car incident.

Haha yeah, seemed a bit aggressive. Ruined both of their races.

Felt pretty amateur from De Vries.

He pushed Kevin wide into turns one and two, only to ruin his entry into turn two. Then completely locks up into three trying desperately to hold onto a place he’d more or less already lost.

What the hell was that? I thought they are gonna get out and start a fist fight.

I'm guessing there was some pace in the tank, or the dead bird in the brake duct could have something to do with it.

Hey guys, just joined Lemmy due to the silly reddit changes.

Glad to see there's already been work put in to create a sublemmy.

Ferrari, finally with a decent strategy, it is nice to see. Hopefully not just getting my hopes up once again.

Still not sure of it was deliberate or a fluke. Bit kinda glad they did well. We need them in the mix.

We finally did see some team orders and not some back alley strategy to handicap the second driver (Sainz).

What a podium. The gods of F1 together. All 3 world champions currently on the grid were on the podium, and joined by Newey as well. Also glad for Albon, love seeing him in the top 10.

Predictions:

  • Race winner: Verstappen by 10+ seconds
  • First car to retire: Perez

I just want to know what Norris did that earned him an “unsportsmanlike” penalty??

He slowed down too much to open up the gap between him and piastri when they were pitting under the SC

All changes in parc ferme were either with comparable parts or within allocation, so the final starting grid matches the provisional.

I'm really excited to have my best bois Lando, Oscar, and Alex in the top ten, but honestly expect that they (along with Nico) will mostly just cause a traffic jam. Here's to hoping though.

What? Did Lance upset his Dad and had to do an House arrest Pit stop or did he have a slow puncture?
