"Change in climatic conditions", don't think I've seen that message before..

[–] hillbicks@feddit.de 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

To phrase the message in that particular way had to be intentional, right? We'll have to get used to that in the coming seasons, it was only a matter of time.

To be quite honest, I can't shake the increasing feeling that formula1 and motorsport in general are just not sustainable anymore and I say that as a motorsport fan of over 30 years. Been to the nordschleife more times than I can count, set a lap time on it, loved every second of it and I still absolutely love motorsport.

I'll get a bit of severance pay next year and I'm seriously tempted to at least participate one year in amateur motorsports, but I can not justify it I think....... Every little bit counts they say......

Anyway, sorry for the rant, but it's been in my head for a long time now.

I agree with you. While I enjoy all forms of karting, I only partake in the electric ones now. Total blast. But indoors and smaller circuits. Still stupid fun.

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

Looks like Max may have nailed the timing.

[–] Dmian@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Yes. It was smart of him passing people in the pit exit

[–] TastyWheat@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

What a storm!

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Wow crazy how quickly the sky got dark.

[–] Dmian@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Interviews inside F1’s garage XDDD

[–] espentan@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I like it, safety cars as backdrop works!

Edit: And Max and Charles leaning on a wing, chatting, is just icing on the cake.

[–] JCPhoenix@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

It felt more, Idk, intimate? Maybe cozy. Like the drivers weren't as "staged" as they usually are since they had to do in close quarters, last minute.

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Unfortunate to see Ricciardo go out in Q1 after last week's excellent performance.

[–] Dmian@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Wind ruined the lap for some drivers. No more laps now, it seems. VER, LEC and the Astons the winners.

Yuki: Lewis Hamilton, Lewis Hamilton, Lewis Hamilton

[–] Dmian@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Beetlejuicing Lewis

[–] Cheesebaron@feddit.dk 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What happened to him? Impeding?

[–] espentan@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

That was what Yuki implied, but I never saw any evidence of it, not to say it didn't happen

[–] espentan@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Qualifying delayed until(at least) 15 minutes past.

[–] hillbicks@feddit.de 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Have they said why? Do you know?

[–] espentan@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They're sweeping the track, apparently a bit too much debris for comfort.

[–] hillbicks@feddit.de 2 points 10 months ago

Thanks. Make sense as there were a couple of incidents during FP1 with debris on track.

[–] espentan@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Those are some ominous clouds. Could be an interesting end to Q3.

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I like how Ferrari gives Charles an umbrella for that 30 ft walk and Red Bull makes the 3 in a row reigning world champion run lol

[–] Dmian@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Times are really close. Will we get surprises?

[–] Dmian@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

It’s officially over

[–] JCPhoenix@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Good job AM. P3 (STR) and P4 (ALO).

Bad day for AT. Out in Q1, yikes.

And P9 for Perez isn't great for him.

[–] Argonne@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Perez got caught in the yellow flag when Piastri spun. I guess when it rains, it pours, literally

[–] neumast@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I just wonder, why RB sends out Max so early and Perez so late... Yellow flags can happen at any time and with the rain approaching, why not send out both at the very front?

[–] June@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Yea Checo was 1:56 behind Max. Maybe they were hoping the track would be a little more rubbered in or something. He was 4/10 off Max at the end of S2, but I don’t know how much he’s already backed out by then. Really disappointed he lost the chance, he was looking good today.

[–] espentan@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Red Bull's dominance over, AT the new #1 RB team. You read it here first! /s
