Happy new season of F1!
@wes@lemmy.world thank you for having these posts up!
Thank you and everyone helping and participating! 👊👍
Awesome work by Hulk so far
His qualifying game is really on point, isn’t it.
And they didnt broadcast any of his laps lol
When his time lit up, I was like “whoa, he’s second, track evolution must be crazy!”
Nah, was just him being crazy
Good work by George to get 3rd.
Especially considering where Lewis finished.
Repeat of last year it seems
Lewis sacrificed qualy by optimising for the race. We’ll see how that goes.
Field seems ridiculously close. Just a second from front to back
Right? Pretty amazing…
Alpine… uff…
Gonna be a lonngggg season for them
Checo really not doing himself any favours… outqualified by both ferrari and mercedes
If he keep on going like this I wouldn’t be surprised if Sainz took his place next year.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. I bet RB tries to get Carlos before promoting Danny. I think Danny’s biggest advantage right now is how much Christian likes him. Though Danny seemed to have pace in the RB19 that he doesn’t seem to have in the AT/RB. I’d be curious to see how Yuki does in the RB19/RB20 for a head to head comparison.
how much Christian likes him
After reading the leaked text (and assuming in good faith that they are real in my extremely humble opinion) I am not sure how much value that has.
I didn’t see anything in the screenshot I saw. What text?
Did you see the link to GDrive, or just the screenshot compilation posted yesterday? If you go through all the texts it is bad.

Oof yea. Assuming this is real it’s definitely quite damning.
Just the screenshot. I’ll check this out. Thanks!
Otmar might be having the biggest grin across his face.
I fear this race is going to really mess me up.
I’ve already found myself looking for football half-time scores thinking its saturday
Vamos Fernando
That’s so damn tight.
Great showing by Mclaren, but I still wonder how the cars will hold up throughout the race
Nice lap by Stroll.
Imagine having a car that’s slower on the second hot lap you do while everyone else improves at least from track evolution
I wonder if Max has an answer to that lap by Charles…
Edit: He did.
Damn Alpine what happened?
- Their car somehow is 10 kg heavier than last year
- Their engine still is the worst one as there is a ban on developing it
This post and the F1TV commentators both mentioned that the Alpine cars are 10 kg too heavy.
