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 😅
Sheesh Lando, falling to the same trick twice in under 90 seconds.
Well they didn’t completely fuck up the national anthem so that’s nice
Bwoah
Welcome back Kimi Raikkonen.
Well that was a quick safety car.
Sainz smooth operating for Williams right now
Leclerc out here driving a medium like a hard tyre.
Lets go, both Williams in points.
Stoked for the team, they’re having a good run.
Lewis schooling Lando.
Making him look silly honestly. Gotta be smarter than that if you want to be WDC.
That’s how you clear a 7-time world champion Lando.
Did we miss the incident with Lawson and Doohan? No way is what we saw on screen 2x as bad as Piastri and Verstappen
Was given leniency as it was the first lap. The penalties are a nonsense though. If anything, being so early in the race and there being no time limit when to take the penalty means the 5s is much much lighter than 10s in the middle of the race and pitstops. I would rather see consistent 5s penalties and they have 3 laps to take it in. So you can’t do a lunge, ignore the track limits and scamper off in clean air for 25 laps, which is what Max clearly wanted to do and almost managed it. That would have been a tragedy of the stewarding if it had happened that way.
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!
C’mon Leclerc, don’t let Norris past after that fantastic stint earlier!
Nice, well-deserved third :)
“That was Gabi, he might not have a manager tonight anymore” - Piastri on the Bortoleto-Alonso situation 😅
Bwoah that was close for Alonso
What’s Red Bull’s game here? I think they lost 2-3 seconds to Piastri already by pitting late
