Ferrari not pitting under the safety car.
Count that as the first strategy blunder of the day!
Imagine what blunder they could have made with pitting!
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
Very strong drive from Albon, love to see it.
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
We ticked Alonso gets mad at
someoneLewis.
Haha! I love cynical GP. “Yeah we got the message, just drive…”
And despite the problem he’s still pulling away
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.
De Vries: “You’re coming with me!”
Haha yeah, seemed a bit aggressive. Ruined both of their races.
Looked pretty damn funny, though
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.
That alpine wing stressed me out so much
Albon back into the points! (for now)
Points for Alex!
Did well there defending like his arse depending on it!
Jenson in the safety car, cheesing like a kid haha
What the hell was that? I thought they are gonna get out and start a fist fight.
Was expecting a RUS/BOT v2
Max for the first time this season had to push to not get caught. Alonso and later Hamilton with the mediums had practically the same pace as him.
The 33 is coming. 😎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).
Can we get some rain?
Mercedes integrated some Tank building knowledge into their car.
Can Max be beaten? How far will Perez progress, will he beat the Mercs?
Predictions:
- Race winner: Verstappen by 10+ seconds
- First car to retire: Perez
