Bottas and botched tyre nuts....name a better combo

[–] dimspace@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

10 laps, 8 seconds in front and not even trying.

Can we just give Max the title, let him take the year off and have a new competition for "second is the first winner"

I wish Red Bull would just unleash Max instead of just telling him to build a ~15 sec gap and then drive to a delta. If we can't have competition at the front, at least let us watch Max lap the entire field.

[–] dimspace@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

If Red Bull do that, then F1 will start bringing a whole raft of rule changes mid season to try an screw over Red Bull and make them slower

(I mean they tried to do that last year with the floor rulings, but Red Bull ended up getting even better)

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Wasn't the floor rulings a late implementation of intended porpoising prevention? Or was there another floor change I forgot about?

Also funny how by the time the floor change was implemented most teams had already fixed porpoising and all it accomplished was making following harder again.

Carlos gunning for Lewis’ seat next year.

Riveting stuff. Excited there's 23 more races of this. /s

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Leclerc really struggling out there. Brutal.

Max's so ahead he'll reach Saudi Arabia for the next race by the end of this one.

[–] krimson@feddit.nl 3 points 9 months ago

Max has his own calendar. Abu Dhabi in May.

Sainz has REALLY been performing and showing what he can do!

[–] alphacyberranger@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Max with another grand slam

[–] JimmyMcGill@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Seems like it will be the same as last year

[–] MaddieTian@lemmy.zip 6 points 9 months ago

Max is 15 second up the road. I was hoping for a better year with some actual racing involved.

Ah well. Guess I’ll try again in 2026 with the rule changes.

[–] SlicingBot@lemmy.ml 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Interesting to put Checo on the softs.

Boy that sauber is.. green.. very green...

at least it stands out from all the blues and, well, blues

[–] alphacyberranger@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Yuki getting the Ferrari treatment

[–] nerdschleife@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago

Why aren't we seeing pit stop times?

[–] wes@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

Lawrence Barretto's prediction on Hamilton seems to be spot on atm.

Really looks like most people underestimated Red Bulls pace advantage, if anything.

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Brutal pitstop for Bottas. He's always the unlucky one.

Fucking race director at the end.

[–] alphacyberranger@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Mom, Max is at it again

[–] TheBlue22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 9 months ago

Holy shit Sainz what a move

[–] Gsicht@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Nice move from Carlos.

[–] AlexisFR@jlai.lu 4 points 9 months ago
[–] alphacyberranger@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

This is suddenly becoming a race of reliability.

[–] SlicingBot@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 months ago

Poor Bottas

[–] june@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Yuki is pissed lmao

[–] t0fr@lemmy.ca 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yuki doesn't seem quite happy to be asked to swap

[–] SlicingBot@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I wonder how the relationship between Daniel and Yuki will play out this year?

[–] D2Rave@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

I'd expect some fireworks - my guess is neither Yuki nor Daniel is there next year (one up / one out)

Is Zak getting paid by Sky or something? They always talk to him.

[–] SlicingBot@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago

They usually have several of the TPs and team personnel give commentary each race. They rotate week to week.
