Throw away all the oil money race tracks and have multiple races here

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Probably my favorite race of the year, even though it was only a sprint. That brings my hopes up for tomorrow's race a lot.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Alpha Tauri looking good for the real race tomorrow.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

Absolutely. And RIC is driving really well. He’s back! :D

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Max and Lando went into the sunset

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Best pace of the race from both

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago

What an absolute stonker of a race! Possibly the best sprint this year. Hopefully the main race is also this entertaining!

Hats off to the direction and F1tv commentary!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Amazing how good are the Alpha Tauris at nursing the tires

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, Yuki was a few tenths of a second faster than LeClerc in the last few laps after following LeClerc for the entire race. A few more laps and Yuki would've had a good chance to overtake LeClerc, which is insane to think about.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

It was amusing to see Yuki be cautious this time, after the Mexico course-out. Just tried a little against Lewis and then backed down, anticipating he'll overtake him later easily. In Mexico he made that exact mistake. A beautiful rhyme.

This sprint race might be the best of any race this season so far. So much going on.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is this what happens when you take 'managing' down in importance?

He somehow managed to keep the same pace as LeClerc and pull away from Sainz. And the AT's tire degradation is clearly better than Ferrari's. He was a few tenths faster than LeClerc in the last couple of laps. Another 3 laps and he would've been ahead.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

OK, that was a sick pass of Perez by Hamilton. Goddamn.

Perez better pick it up.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Pretty exciting so far. Lots of close racing and overtaking.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Absolutely! Even before DRS there was a ton of action.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

Ferraris: β€œTasty tires! Nom, nom, nom!”

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Those with some tire left must now push

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Now this is pretty exciting

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

What a race

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I always love those shots from the front where a car appears from another one to make a pass. Like what we just saw with Perez on Russell. Very cinematic.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Am I crazy or is it way too advantageous to start second? Verstappen had the best line...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

This isn't a bad place to start second, but Max had a bit better start and Lando was perhaps a bit too cautious with breaks going into the first corner.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Some tracks are like that, but I suppose we'll see what happens in the real race tomorrow. Though this practice/sprint race tends to ruin any surprises.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Norris could have moved over to cover verstappen off. For some reason he was too late.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Some tracks are like that, first isn’t always best unless you have the acceleration speed to keep ahead

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

The Alpha Tauris have good pace. TSU is right behind LEC.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (5 children)

I'm liking that Checo is proving on track that he can be the best number 2. Vamos Checo!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

He was closest to his team mate?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He gained positions, kept it clean and widened the gap with Hamilton. Which is what he needs to do.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Ahh you mean number 2 in championship, not a number 2 driver.

What a fantastic sprint. Just pure, clean racing. Hope to have more of them in the future.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

HAM SAI RIC close!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Oof Lando dropped 2 places. Doesn't look like he tried to push hard on that first corner.

Perez down 2 places as well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Danny only .3 behind Sainz..

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

He passed up Sainz! He passed up a Ferrari!

Then he lost the spot back to Sainz due to DRS, but still, that it happened at all!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I love this track

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

That GAS ALO battle!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Giga chad Padre

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

SAI is lucky that RIC is right behind PIA, and distracts him, because the Ferraris are degrading like mad.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Eat that ocon

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Perez dropping back from Lando? Used up his tires working his way forwards, maybe..

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

The Maccas now starting to degrade too. PIA is slow.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

LEC with nice pace, catching HAM.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Hamilton’s pace is gone

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

That was quite a race!
