That's actually a pretty good explanation to be honest.

Man, lemmy.world is struggling. I guess Rexit is real.

Anyway, what was Williams thinking by pitting Albon ...

I'm so happy to see Lando up there again. Hopefully this continues the rest of the year, he deserves a decent car

And that's why yuki isn't replacing checo anytime soon

+1 for Missed Apex if you are looking for more mature, technical discussions with a bit of humor mixed in.

I think everyone is overreacting on checo. He is in 2nd place and red bull will win everything this year. I doubt they will end his contact early if this is still the scenario by the end of the year. He will be gone after 2024 though.

Interesting, I never got that feeling. They are generally pretty upfront about their biases so it never bothered me I guess.

I wish someone could push Max like that every race, I think his temper is his biggest problem and it could get him to make some mistakes

In theory, this should be good! Hopefully it dries quickly so we see some pitstops

Let's see them bring back the Marlboro McLarens, now that's nostalgia...

Definitely looks like a videogame start, I don't remember the commentators mentioning this at all. Nice job luis

It's a shorter qualifying session for the sprint race later today. I think that's the main difference, there's also suppose to be some tire restrictions but they ditched that today because of the wet conditions.

I agree, I think the shorter sessions make it a lot more interesting

What a fun race so far. Too bad the server is struggling, taking a long time to post today.

How did stroll end up in 15 the place?

That was a fun race, good points for Lando, redemption for checo. Great weekend overall

He's still in second place in the championship and brings a lot of sponsorship money. Max will be champion and red bull will win the constructors this year. Unless the other teams catch up, I'm not sure red bull would risk replacing him with an unknown quantity or with someone who could really challenge Max before 2024. He will probably be gone after that though (end of his current contract)
