yeah total fumble

[coelacanth@feddit.nu]

Hamilton flying with that wet setup, has to be wishing they green flagged earlier.

Austrian TV broadcaster. Sounded like it may have been part of the F1 movie score? Not sure. But definitely not the usual intro score.

[cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

yeah I love when he got that type of mojo.

[microw@piefed.zip]

Red Bull yesterday really was like "we'll optimize the car for a rain race although we know that rain races never fully get underway in Spa nowadays"

[cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

25%

[coelacanth@feddit.nu]

Not just in Spa to be fair.

[lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world]

Oof that front left tire change for Norris was sloppy.

[cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

yeah 9 sec now..

[cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

what a race by Hamilton in 15 laps he is #7. well done.

[coelacanth@feddit.nu]

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.

[coelacanth@feddit.nu]

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

[cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

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

[cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

[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?

[lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world]

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

[alphacyberranger@sh.itjust.works]

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

[cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

I hope not so we can have some surprise
