100%. Epitome of racing incident. Perez could barely keep it on the track. That was bs.

[โ€“] bhmnscmm@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

5sec definitely seems excessive.

[โ€“] PeeJay@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Fully deserved imo

[โ€“] R05@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Perez was already nursing a problem, if anyone was driving dangerously it was him.

[โ€“] Rob@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Hmm, I dunnoโ€ฆ I can see it being ruled a racing incident because the action wasnโ€™t that bad. But he did understeer into an opponent, damaging his car, and ruining his race.

It seems like they judged the outcome more so than the action itself.

5 Seconds is a bit of a joke considering they were alongside in the corner and the track conditions ๐Ÿ™„

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 8 points 2 years ago

He's had a lot of bad luck this season, but i feel his drives have gone under the radar a bit. He's in a new team and has been more or less on the same racepace as Ocon from the get-go. Very interested to see how the fight between the two develops.

[โ€“] wgbirne@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Shouldn't he get a penalty for unsafe release? He almost crashed into Stroll. Why was there no mention of this from race control?

[โ€“] imbrucy@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Gasly and Leclerc both looked like they should have gotten unsafe release penalties. I guess the stewards decided to be lenient considering the chaos in the pits.

Ricciardo in the points ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฏ

Edit: no more :(

[โ€“] bhmnscmm@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Still not too bad of a drive! He definitely had more pace than Yuki.

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Checo floundering and Danny Ric in the points in an Alpha Tauri. I think we all know what thoughts are going through Helmut's head right now.

Finished way ahead of Tsunoda and (by luck) ahead of Perez, that looks good for him

[โ€“] jramskov@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Rare mistake by Alonsoโ€ฆ

[โ€“] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

While we wait, thought I'd share this from the stream:

[โ€“] BowserDelta@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

World focking champion

Great strategy from McLaren. Interested to see how things work out with no DRS for Max.

Gasly got a huge jump. Finally a W for Alpine. Sainz got shafted unfortunately.

[โ€“] bhmnscmm@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

And now the tables have turned between Oscar and Max thanks to the safety car!

That wasnt a 5s penalty lol

[โ€“] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hamilton knocked a lump out of the Red Bull. How you can claim a penalty isn't deserved is beyond me.

[โ€“] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 3 points 2 years ago

I just watched the race and I didn't notice the hole until I saw a post on Reddit, I don't think it was obvious during the race that there was that much damage.

[โ€“] Gsicht@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Please, please no repeat of 2021.

35 min delay

[โ€“] BowserDelta@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Safety car, damn it Fernando

[โ€“] LittleWizard@feddit.de 6 points 2 years ago

Wtf is that penalty?

[โ€“] baduhai@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago

Most bullshit penalty I've seen in a long time.

[โ€“] bhmnscmm@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

If this is the threshold for the amount of spray to race then we'll never see a full wet race again.

Yoooo. Anyone else here? Let's go sprint racing!

RIP Alonso, lucky break for Verstappan

[โ€“] BowserDelta@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Did the start get pushed back? Thought I might have missed it!

[โ€“] ripened_avacado@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Same. I woke up a bit late and thought I missed the start. Anyone knows the reason for it?

[โ€“] Squeak@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

There was a delay to the sprint qualifying and thereโ€™s a rule about giving a certain amount of time between quali and the sprint.

Look at that ๐ŸŒˆ

How many caps does a formula1 driver have? Feels like they're handed a new one every five seconds

[โ€“] jramskov@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

~5 minutes to start - hoping for a standing start ๐Ÿคž

RB nailed Checoโ€™s pit stop, good stuff

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 2 years ago

Wow, can barely remember the last time Fernando made a mistake like that.

[โ€“] ripened_avacado@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Ferrari ๐Ÿ˜“

[โ€“] TheWheelMustGoOn@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

This race should be longer!

[โ€“] bhmnscmm@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I sure wish this was going to be a standing start. I'd love to see Oscar try to get the jump on Max.
