Antonelli ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ well done

Hamilton podium!!! Finally.

[โ€“] hal_5700X@sh.itjust.works 12 points 6 days ago

7 cars out and 4 of them didn't even start.

GG Kimi.

Williams in the points!

It was a better race than Australia.

[โ€“] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Race is much more interesting so far than last year's. Enjoying the Haas vs Alpine battles.

[โ€“] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Loved the Ferrari battles even if at their own cost. Antonelli running away with the lead.

[โ€“] Munkisquisher@lemmy.nz 4 points 6 days ago

Ferrari have taught the drivers some good deployment techniques, they are jumping around each other just like they did against the Merc last weekend.

And whatever is helping their starts also gives good SC restarts.

[โ€“] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Norris having electrical issues and might not make it out in time for a grid start. Oop.

[โ€“] birne@feddit.org 4 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I wonder which race will be the first with 22 cars on the grid. I think it will be Spain or Austria.

[โ€“] wes@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Both McLarenโ€™s it seems

๐Ÿ’€

That would be a second DNS for Piastri.

[โ€“] Munkisquisher@lemmy.nz 4 points 6 days ago

How far through the season before Piastri gets to start the season?

[โ€“] hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 6 days ago

They did it!

[โ€“] hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 6 days ago

Ferrari built for combat

Omg Haas mechanics hacking away at Ocon's car in the pits with bolt cutters. Don't think I've ever seen that in F1.

[โ€“] hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 6 days ago (2 children)

what the fuck is happening

[โ€“] woelkchen@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

I don't care what the naysayer say: This is brilliant!

[โ€“] Munkisquisher@lemmy.nz 4 points 6 days ago

Ocon "yeah that was my fault"

Glad Leclerc is enjoying the battle haha. We are too.

Ah Ocon was having a decent race performance until that incident. Bearman has been fantastic in comparison.

Spicy start. Was hoping Ferrari could hold the lead for at least a few more laps before going back to Merc 1-2.

[โ€“] Munkisquisher@lemmy.nz 5 points 6 days ago

The 'bunny on skis' track layout really is a great design for racing

[โ€“] ceilingcelery@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

What a great race! Lewis going at Charles for that sequence of corners was fantastic! Well done to Kimi, held his cool (aside from the lock up) and got a well deserved win. Disaster for McLaren, and a shame that Oscar hasn't run any racing laps so far this year yet.

Welp the engine did not last the race distance like Honda was hoping. https://youtu.be/GjXxi-1eZ7w

Red Bull having a disastrous race so far.
