Uh oh, those front-left McLaren mechanics are gonna get a talking to afterwards..

[coelacanth@feddit.nu]

Oh, I was talking of Albon and all his recent DNFs. Sainz was a clear break issue I agree.

Yuki I love you but maybe it's time to become a full time chef.

Disaster day for Red Bull at their home race. Tsunoda in last place with a 10s penalty and Verstappen DNF means no points today.

[luvs2spuj@lemmy.world]

Karun Chandhok on sky commentary just said Red Bull hasn't had a second driver pushing for results since Riccardo. How do people forget how good Perez actually was. It's clear that Max is just on another level, but Perez worked some miracles to be as close as he was (at times)

your performance are less than optimal

[worx@lemmynsfw.com]

I was thinking the same thing. He was even fighting Verstappen at the start of the season a few years back. (I forget which year it was, but Perez won almost every street race I think)

almost +5sec

It's amazing how shit the Merc is when it's hot.

Oh no Ferrari

I find it easy to forget Perez's highs, as they get overshadowed by the long, downwards spiral he was on at the end. In contrast, Ricciardo left while being closer to an equal to Max. That's the image my memory is painting, anyway.

Hamilton: I don't want to pit now

Ferrari: Yes you do

Hamilton: I don't want to change tires

Ferrari: Yes you do

[coelacanth@feddit.nu]

I kind of think it's both. There was a time - when the car wasn't undriveable - where he was legitimately close to Max. But there was also a quite long period where he was quite terrible.

[worx@lemmynsfw.com]

Nothing wrong with 3rd and 4th

[cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Good move by Norris to hire Colapinto

[lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world]

Why are Ferrari always like this
