Track Map
Lets go, both Williams in points.
Stoked for the team, they’re having a good run.
And Hadjar again too!
Go weeyums
I am in this picture and i love it.
C’mon Leclerc, don’t let Norris past after that fantastic stint earlier!
Nice, well-deserved third :)
Is it just Max or the Red Bull is fast here, that 5s penalty doesn’t look that threatening to Max’s race.
The 5s penalty does almost nothing for anyone. It’s way too low a penalty for anything. Regardless of how good your car is. It’s only annoying if you got lucky earlier with a car where you’re actually out of position where your car should be.
Commentary here speculated it was probably 5s because of Piastri being partially responsible for pushing Verstappen off, where Lawson took full blame and got 10s.
Sounds like a weird way to reason though, no? That’s what should be called a race incident if they’re both partially at fault.
Stewards and consistency 😅
“Cya nerds” ~ Max Verstappen
Whoa Alonso, what a overtake.
Wow! Great overtake for Piastri. And thank you Hamilton for holding up Verstappen
Bwoah that was close for Alonso
That’s how you clear a 7-time world champion Lando.
Absolute madman to pull an overtake there. Piastri is the real deal.
Leclerc out here driving a medium like a hard tyre.
There is no deg here, only overheating it seems. Could have possibly gone M-S honestly seeing as he was in clear air.
What’s Red Bull’s game here? I think they lost 2-3 seconds to Piastri already by pitting late
Probably expecting Hamilton to box a lap earlier.
STOP THE COUNT!!
Did we miss the incident with Lawson and Doohan? No way is what we saw on screen 2x as bad as Piastri and Verstappen
Classic FIA inconsistency.
Can’t remember seeing it, but I must admit to spending time here too when it looks slow because I am happy other people on Lemmy also like F1.
We saw an overtake where the car that overtook went maybe a tyre’s width over the white line. I wasn’t even sure they’d went off the track from the camera angle we had. That’s why I’m wondering if it was another incident the next lap maybe
Yeah what I saw for from Lawson going deep didn’t seem like a 10 second penalty, dude can’t seem to catch a break!
Bwoah
Welcome back Kimi Raikkonen.
Great overtake by Leclerc, bad way direction showed it live. It basically didn’t even show the actual overtake. They had to do a damn replay for it.
So who do we think is causing the inevitable safety car/red flag? Any bets?
Stroll my man never disappoints 😂
Verstappen and Piastri, leaving Norris to win after a luck safety car caused by a Stroll crash. (Crazy predictions cost nothing!)
Tsunoda getting a bit overconfident, maybe? Hope it won’t be him, though.
Ding ding ding! (Doesn’t look likes it’s his fault but still involved)
I wonder if this is the first time Gasly and Tsunoda have ever collided, given their teammate history
