Perez..

Not the time to be beaching the car when there are rumors of you being axed mid-season.

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Seemed early to switch to slicks. Don't know who made the decision.

[-] hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Could it be floor damage for Verstappen?

Edit: Brundle confirms "significant" floor damage

[-] Microw@lemm.ee 13 points 4 months ago

Three brits on top of quali for the first time since 1968, and first time in Silverstone ever..

We truly are in a british age of F1

A Haas out qualifying a Ferrari? Now there's something you don't see every day.

[-] urquell@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago
[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

However you want to cut it. KMag out in Q1,LeClerc in Q2.

[-] urquell@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

I meant it as hulk is in front of both ferraris

Oh boy, Sergio beaches in the gravel

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

From the Monaco curse to now the post-Monaco curse 💀

[-] Pringles@lemm.ee 7 points 4 months ago

Perez is having a horrid season. Parking it in the gravel in Q1 is illustrative for how his season is going.

[-] GreenEngineering3475@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Let's fucking gooo, Williams.

Sargeant is out qualifying Perez.

[-] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 4 months ago

Sargeant is out qualifying Perez.

Is it just me or is this becoming a weekly thing now

[-] urquell@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

He is more often in front of perez than in front of albon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[-] espentan@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Clever move by Perez. He figured most were going to out qualify him either way, so he placed the car in the gravel trap early to save the engine. /s

[-] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 4 months ago

Man out here playing 5D chess /s

[-] Thade780@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago
[-] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 4 months ago

This is like a wet dream come true for him

[-] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 4 months ago

That was unexpected

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Three Brits at the top right now.

Considering the floor damage, Max is still doing pretty well.

Hulk also doing great.

[-] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 4 months ago

Damn everybody at red Bull must have had a heart attack for a moment or two

[-] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 4 months ago

Do sky have special sources from the teams¿? The f1tv commentary still aren't confirming that max has damage. How are sky so sure¿?

[-] l_b_i@yiffit.net 5 points 4 months ago

There was a clear camera shot of a chip missing from the front of one of the fins on the underside of the floor.

[-] Microw@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Journalists are in Whatsapp broadcast groups handled by the teams. RBR press officer sent a message into his group confirming the floor damage.

Not just a Sky thing, quite a few F1 journos are in those groups.

Is Redbull allowed repair (replace) the floor before the race?

[-] hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 4 months ago

I think you're allowed to repair/swap components as long as they're identical spec. No setup changes, but they should be able to put in a new one.

Short answer is yes, with identical parts otherwise it's a grid drop or pitlane start depending on what is changed and why.

Wow. That was good.

[-] DV8@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Oof, comparing track dominance between Leclerc and Stroll...

[-] Microw@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

Perez and Ricciardo with the same mistake in the same corner lol (Ricciardo was mucky enough not to beach himself)

[-] Microw@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

And now Max too, something with the RB(R)s in that corner

[-] t0fr@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago

Well now both Red Bull drivers have gone through the gravel. At least Max got back on the track

[-] FrostyTrichs@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago

Perez: I'm in danger.

[-] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 4 months ago

Damn that is one fight for pole

[-] fisco@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 months ago

Did Aston bring any downgrades for this weekend ?

[-] Pringles@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago

They brought Lance Stroll.

[-] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 4 months ago

Frankly stroll has been matching Alonso the past few weekends. Now might not be the best time for these clever jokes

After getting pole:

[-] Thade780@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

@Bademantel@feddit.de did you want rain?

[-] Bademantel@feddit.de 4 points 4 months ago

Haha, I'm a fan of changing conditions so I got what I wanted. I'm excited about tomorrow. Did you enjoy it?

[-] Thade780@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Better than expected. Would have actually loved the rain to come as they forecasted, alas.
