I'd like to see Max and Piastri battle a bit today.

Well, given how many cars took to the runoff there, I can understand why Nico did not know behind which car he should have correctly come back onto the track. He had no real advantage there.

Fernando taking the full tour of the track.

Looks like the Sauber upgrades are working really well.. while Williams is not convincing here

Spain 2025, the front wing battle race

[hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Leclerc podium looks very likely, Ferrari has been a rocketship on low fuel.

[chocoboenthusiast@leminal.space]

A lot going to rely on when Max pits. Feeling a possible Leclerc too.

[dv8@lemmy.world]

Piastri driving very mature after putting in the work to make it possible yesterday.

[microw@lemm.ee]

Jude Bellingham did NOT read the room well lol.. laughing immediately after the Antonelli dnf while sitting at Merc

[microw@lemm.ee]

Aaand he's pitted under safety car. No way Leclerc gets that podium now.

[microw@lemm.ee]

"Why are we on hard?!"

Same question here, Max. Official tire info says you should still have a used soft tire left that could be used.

[chocoboenthusiast@leminal.space]

Max getting stuck on hard though... Maybe a flicker of hope there.

[dv8@lemmy.world]

How Max kept that car on the road is insane. And as I'm writing this. Seems like people bumping into Max at the moments his car isn't slipping...

[hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Bro what

[microw@lemm.ee]

Max when he feels unfairly treated by the marshalls is something else.. this feels like the race where he and Norris were pushing each other off track

[microw@lemm.ee]

Did Hulkenberg in a Sauber just overtake Hamilton in a Ferrari?

[chocoboenthusiast@leminal.space]

Max should be a race ban for that, but it'll never happen.

[dv8@lemmy.world]

A Sauber overtaking a Ferrari was not on my bingo card for this weekend

[microw@lemm.ee]

P5 for the Hulk! Points for Alonso!
