Hopefully the pace of Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bull is good or else this could be a snoozer with Norris just driving into the sunset.

[calamitycastle@lemmy.world]

I am prepared to treat p3 as p1 for the purposes of today. Stupidly swapped Ferrari out for Mercedes in my fantasy this week...

Let's go!

Could be in for some interesting strategies this race, one-stop should be very very hard on this tarmac and in this heat, but several teams either are locked into it or will have to use the softs. And the softs don't look good here.

Track temperature 49 degrees !! hot hot!
Track fire will be the bonus today.

Sainz stuck on grid.

Williams have been having weird reliability issues for the past 2-3 races.

[lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world]

Oh he moving again.

Edit: Rear brakes on fire.

[cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

I said the fire is the bonus!

[cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

This man is on fire....

[rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world]

I can't help but root for Williams, and things were looking promising this season... But jesus, what an unlucky string of races for the team

[cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

First out

[cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Really too bad for Sainz.. what a pity.

[lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world]

Verstappen was tagged and spun! Chaos.

He's out!

[cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Antonelli too!

[hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

"Mate I had no grip" ~Kimi probably lol

[worx@lemmynsfw.com]

Hamilton got past just in time before the safety car

[coelacanth@feddit.nu]

God damn that move from Antonelli was... optimistic.
