Everything's aligned for him so far. Good payoff for the wet setup, perfect timing on reading the crossover and good driving from him too of course.

Good to see Antonelli making some moves, the kid could use a confidence boost.

yeah will be interesting if it can be on the podium.

[coelacanth@feddit.nu]

I think there is close to 0 chance he gets a podium, but it's still been a solid recovery drive.

[cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

yeah I cannot imagine at 18years old this type of pressure

[coelacanth@feddit.nu]

Hamilton complaining he's lift-and-coasting and still not saving enough, looks like they could have gambled on underfueling as well?

Curious if the medium will actually last 14 more laps or not.

They should have just had the standing start and kept on driving.

I hope not so we can have some surprise

no video on Russel and Verstappen ... is there a broadcaster blackout

[cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Go Lando.

[luvs2spuj@lemmy.world]

He's being out classed by Oscar this year.

Calm and solid race by Piastri. Few fumbles by Norris including the start, but good perf by Mcclaren. Good race for the juniors (no DNF). Good perf by Ferrari with podium for Leclerc and come back from Hamilton to 7th from 18th.

yeah pity

Yep. It was a Hans Zimmer intro to promote the movie. They uploaded the it on YouTube:

We already had rainy races this year. But at a track like Spa, visibility problems make that simply not possible to safely have a race happen.

The Beekeeper? The Jason Statham one that I still haven't heard a single thing about? Weird choice for the F1 marketing department to assign that
