What a horrible weekend for Charles.

Wet tires will probably never be used (unless enforced), even if the conditions are clearly full wet.

Teams are so greedy with staying on the inters so that even if some drivers pit for full wets, the race will inevitably be red flagged because someone staying on the inters will crash, which then makes you look silly for pitting for full wets a lap or two earlier.

Granted that they reinstated the positions of the previous lap so Perez is actually fine, but let Zhou crash one lap later and Red Bull would've been punished with Perez for doing the right thing for safety and to try and keep the race going.

I call the full wets "red flag tyres" cos we never see them on a car during a race for more than a lap without a red flag

I think everyone agrees with that, apparently even perelli have called it the safety car tire....

I think the best suggestion was to make a much better tire between the two if they can - that reduced the amount of tires they are lugging around too.

Speaking as a dutchie. There really is no crowd better than the dutch at setting a great mood. Especially in bad weather.

Was it the Dutch GP where there were allegations of sexual harassment last year? Or was that somewhere else? I dont quite remember

[–] DarylDutch@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Apparently so. I didn't know about his but just read up on it. 15 cases quite bad. They stepped up measures this year. Hopefully there are no cases this year however we won't know till after.

For those who are complaining: Jules Bianchi died under similar conditions in Suzuka 2014.

[–] Durotar@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If anything, it took too much time to red flag the race. Zhou was in a very dangerous position.

Why are they so obsessed about the Max-Perez pit stop. It wouldn’t matter, Max would pass Perez in a couple of laps anyways. He got the gap down from 10 to 2.5 sec.

[–] espentan@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I don't get it either.. They gave Perez inters first, dragged him up to the front, then Max got softs first, giving him back the lead.

They just saved Perez the embarrassment of getting passed by Max on track. Max is 6 seconds ahead already, for crying out..

[–] SatouKazuma@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

It's absolutely insane. Verstappen is on another plane of existence this season.

That slowmo of the redbull pit stop was incredible

According to Dutch social media the DJ started his Red Flag set with a song about "raining beer".

[–] DarylDutch@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Het is dus pompen of verzuipen.

[–] Luvs2Spuj@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

The fact they booked a live singer for the Dutch anthem shows a lot of confidence. Not that the confidence is misplaced of course.

F1TV has been referencing memes throughout the broadcast, the cooldown room was announced as "time for the podcast".

Man if I ever have enough money to go to an F1 race then I'm definitely going to the Dutch Grand Prix

Yeh, it's good to not penalise teams for switching cars to the safer tire

Crowd singing along to "Que Sera, Sera", the DJ is on point.

Compare the atmosphere here to e.g. Abu Dhabi, quite the difference.

For anyone wondering.

Most pit stops in an F1 race, 88, 2011 Hungarian Grand Prix

we are at 35-36 so far if my maths is right

edit: 35, confirmed on-screen. need another shower to give a chance of the record :D

Absolute disaster for Tsunoda. Couldn't have imagined the race going any worse for Yuki if I tried.

Man, Williams have utterly screwed the pooch this weekend.

If Albon had pitted for inters like everyone else he potentially would have been on the podium going into the second lot of rain.

Then with the second lot of rain they leave him out too long again and kick him down from 6th to 9th which they compound by putting him on inters when its clear full wets

Then they get him stuck in the damn pits.

Absolute wild race so far.

Ponchos and raincoats reported in the crowd at the start/finish.

Did a damn good job making up for it, though.
