Another VER win but he had to work for it a little. PER managing a very good damage limitation drive in ending up on the podium

Ferrari pulling off a double podium could have been a dream come true given where the team was a few weeks back. Alas, it was not to be. 2-4 is not a bad weekend though is it? If they can get strategy sorted out, the car seems to be getting there but tyre deg is still a touch too high.

NOR killing it today and putting that McLaren on the map yet again. PIA needs to step up or we will be talking about him getting replaced soon. I know he doesn’t have the upgrades this race but ending up rock bottom when your teammate rakes in points is not a good look.

ALO having a very lonely race but scoring some much needed points. STR just squeaking in a point was nice but he can and should be doing better.

HAM struggling quite a bit today while RUS seemed more comfortable with the car. But the car seemed to be genuinely struggling at this track. Let’s see what the British isles look like for this team next week.

GAS doing quite well to clock 2 points for the team. Too bad OCO could not be bullheaded enough to get some points today.

ALB and SAR having very good runs, a nice change for SAR huh? The Williams is easily the best if the rest at this point.

ZHO and BOT doing their usual thing. BOT getting squeezed at the start again and ZHO ending up ahead of him but not too far ahead.

DEV outperformed TSU today, a much needed performance but I am afraid it had more to do with TSU losing it rather than DEV rising to the occasion. Doubt it will cut much ice with Helmut.

MAG the lone Haas in the fight today and there’s not much good to tell. The car is a shitbox and there don’t seem to be signs of improvement.

Very thrilling race. 8.5/10.

It's great seeing Albon able to race other cars now

Stroll got boned first by picking the wrong checkout line (inside) on the 1st lap, and then AMR pitting him just as the race went green again

Oh, and 5 sec penalty to OP, for exceeding track limits..

[–] unomar@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Easily the best race of the season in my opinion. Battles up and down the grid. Not too many dull moments.

[–] hrpanjwani@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Was a very lively race no? Think what it could have been if it rained.

[–] unomar@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

In the back of my mind I was secretly rooting for rain and a safety car finish. Maximum anarchy with the time penalties 😈

Didn't piastri got his front wing yeeted by some1 else?

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

He ran into the back of a Haas I think at turn 3, but only because someone in front of him braked suddenly.

[–] mrsnowflake@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Did Max have to work though? The specifically didn't pit under vsc, because they wanted to run their race. They KNEW Max would overtake the Ferrari's no problem because of their pace and tire advantage. Max just needed to keep up his normal race pace, didn't really have to push.

He even had time to pit for softs to get fastest lap just for lulz.

[–] hrpanjwani@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago

Well at least he did not get to hog the race lead for the entire race. I will take whatever silver lining I can get. 😝😝😝

PIA needs to step up or we will be talking about him getting replaced soon. I know he doesn’t have the upgrades this race but ending up rock bottom when your teammate rakes in points is not a good look.

Not sure this is really fair on Piastri, he's a rookie don't forget, and I think this has always been a strong track for Norris. We know he's not short of talent. Hopefully it's indicative of the upgrades Norris had that he was so much further up the field!

ZHO and BOT doing their usual thing. BOT getting squeezed at the start again and ZHO ending up ahead of him but not too far ahead.

I feel like the Alfa duo are really anonymous in the races, especially Bottas. I don't think he's got long left in F1, honestly.

[–] hrpanjwani@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

Well we are close to the summer break so tough questions have to be asked. If Alpine are willing to give him a longer runway, then more power to him and them.

You are right, Alfa are nearly non-existent no? Not the case with Alpha though. At least not with TSU.

but tyre deg is still a touch too high.

I didn't think tyre deg of the ferrari's was high. They had similar deg to everybody else. It is just that the red bull is too fast

[–] hrpanjwani@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

You are right. Post race Charles confirmd that tyre deg was within limits. I was mislead by strategists asking for 3 stop and thought there was a tyre deg issue. Fuck, Ferrari strategists are abysmally bad.

[–] Samwizegamgi42@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah think this is it more than deg. Would have liked to see what Sainz could’ve done of done if they switched at lap 5-7 or whatever it was

[–] hrpanjwani@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yup. SAI got shafted a lot in this race. P4 was very well deserved, could have been better with a bit of good luck.

[–] Omgarm@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't see Piastri getting replaced this quickly. Especially not after all the effort they put in to sign him away from Alpine.

[–] hrpanjwani@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

Remember what they say about F1. It’s a piranha club!
