Awesome work by Hulk so far
His qualifying game is really on point, isn’t it.
And they didnt broadcast any of his laps lol
When his time lit up, I was like “whoa, he’s second, track evolution must be crazy!”
Nah, was just him being crazy
Happy new season of F1!
@wes@lemmy.world thank you for having these posts up!
Thank you and everyone helping and participating! 👊👍
Alpine… uff…
Gonna be a lonngggg season for them
Otmar might be having the biggest grin across his face.
I fear this race is going to really mess me up.
I’ve already found myself looking for football half-time scores thinking its saturday
Field seems ridiculously close. Just a second from front to back
Right? Pretty amazing…
Nice lap by Stroll.
Good work by George to get 3rd.
Especially considering where Lewis finished.
Repeat of last year it seems
Lewis sacrificed qualy by optimising for the race. We’ll see how that goes.
Great showing by Mclaren, but I still wonder how the cars will hold up throughout the race
Imagine having a car that’s slower on the second hot lap you do while everyone else improves at least from track evolution
Damn Alpine what happened?
- Their car somehow is 10 kg heavier than last year
- Their engine still is the worst one as there is a ban on developing it
This post and the F1TV commentators both mentioned that the Alpine cars are 10 kg too heavy.
So Mercedes’ customers are faster than them
So far… we kinda know that Merc might take a few races to get the most out of the new concept.
Where have we heard that before…?
Next upgradeTM, Lewis got tired of that so moving to next yearTM
I wonder if Max has an answer to that lap by Charles…
No tire data/display unless they’ve set a time? Slightly annoying…
Vamos Fernando
