Only took 18 laps for a "we are checking"

THE ENGINEER SAID IT!

HE SAID THE FUNNY

They are checking

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.

[โ€“] dimspace@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year 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)

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 2 points 1 year 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.

[โ€“] AlexisFR@jlai.lu 1 points 1 year ago

Ferrari was still struggling with it in the latter half of 2022

[โ€“] t0fr@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

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

[โ€“] MaddieTian@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

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

Ah well. Guess Iโ€™ll try again in 2026 with the rule changes.

Mom, Max is at it again

[โ€“] dimspace@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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"

[โ€“] acidagfc@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

I like Max as a person, but having another season of him racing in a league of his own is too much.

[โ€“] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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.

[โ€“] krimson@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

Max has his own calendar. Abu Dhabi in May.

Yuki getting the Ferrari treatment

[โ€“] wes@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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

[โ€“] june@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What was his prediction again?

[โ€“] wes@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I am not 100% sure but I thought 8th this race and Hamilton gave him a โ€œhard timeโ€ about it during the drivers parade.

[โ€“] Gsicht@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Nice move from Carlos.

Maxito, Don't play with your food

[โ€“] june@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Will Buxton just said Checo is โ€˜Keen as mustardโ€™ and it caught me off guard. Never heard that one before lol.

Alex have you tried restarting it?

[โ€“] SlicingBot@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Interesting to put Checo on the softs.

[โ€“] l_b_i@yiffit.net 2 points 1 year ago

No hards available.

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

Max with another grand slam

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

This is suddenly becoming a race of reliability.

[โ€“] Gsicht@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Ferraris... My poor heart!

Nothing new.....atleast we haven't seen any strategy fuckups yet

[โ€“] SlicingBot@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm concerned for the Ferrari, I thought their race pace was supposed to be good.

[โ€“] june@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Canโ€™t help but wonder if Charles is the problem today. Carlos is looking strong.

Did F1 run out of contract with AWS to show us timings and stats or what? Or is AWS fucking shit up themselves as usual?

[โ€“] baru@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Did F1 run out of contract with AWS

They mentioned AWS, why would they do that if that wasn't about AWS sponsoring that? I did see a prediction of one car overtaking another. It was completely inaccurate.

Tuned in a bit late, was there any prime Brundle cringe during the grid walk?

[โ€“] Nfamwap@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He interviewed Jeremy Clarkson, who looked rather tipsy.

[โ€“] cozy_agent@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

His voice sounded so different.

[โ€“] cozy_agent@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[โ€“] SlicingBot@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

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

Seems nothing like that,they also talk to James(Williams TP) sometimes and they did so last year in some races.
