Wow, Lando very cold headed in the situation there to immediately realize that it was solely his own mistake and also say so on the radio
They aren't going to show that trailer the whole race right? Super annoying, makes me actively not want to watch that movie.
fucking annoying
It's so distracting.
The aim of the movie would be to be interesting for the general population, for people who actually watch F1, I can almost guarantee the movie will be terrible because of how many thigns they will get completely wrong
I was wondering if that was some AR thing just for the TV audience.
It seemed way too crisp and clear a picture from those screens which are for the people in the stands. I caught glimpses of the other screens and they didn’t look that clear. Plus every time it was on it showed that exact same moment with the date each and every time.
Yeah once you start noticing the digital ads, it gets super annoying super fast. Like in Monaco with the big "screen" in the tunnel, it looked so obviously fake.
The tracking often isn't perfect and you can see things like heat haze being cut off by the ads. There are so many ads on screen, once you notice it.
100%, in the in car vids and off angle cameras it is not visible and it's obviously virtual.
Looks like when they moved the camera to show where Albon parked, they lost the digital ad tracking. So the overlay is gone, at least for now.
I thought it was strange they all slowed down considerably around that turn during the formation lap, but maybe it’s not very strange at all.
So, did Russell actually goad Max into overtaking under safety car? Or was Max just sleeping?
Because the leading driver is free to break as long as he is within the Perez distance
I think Russell was keeping heat in his tyres by braking hard and accelerating again. Verstappen was just following at a constant speed and was caught out a bit by what Russell was doing.
Though I think Russel is cheeky enough to time that maneuver deliberately to catch Max off guard
Russell absolutely tried to get a penalty for Max. It's pretty obvious from his driver cam. You don't drive up the ass of the safety car, signal them to go faster and then slow down when the safety car speeds up.
RIP Lando
Wow respect for him owning up right away!
Good start by Antonelli there wow. Up to P3.
Just watched the race. Oh Norris 😔 he had a great race up until that point too.
Leclerc and his team seems to be out of comm.. It's a pity.
Someone hit a groundhog near turn 10. It's in a DRS zone, might get hit again if someone tries to pass there...
Welcome to Papaya Inchident
Would you like some popcorn?
Absolute Cinema
he must have seen to many times the f1 movie trailer
Bit harsh defending from Piastri against his teammate, but the crash was 100% on Norris. Good on him that he was quick to recognize it though, a lot of drivers would’ve been a lot less nice on the radio after that
He should defend as hardly as possible within the limits of the rules.
His teammate or not Norris is his biggest threat right now
Contact ! lap 67...
In order to do a 1 stop, you'd need to make it at least 45 laps on a hard. LeClerc and Albion are being crazy wanting a1stop when everyone's getting more deg than they expected.
Plan C. I repeat Plan C
see Albon was playing the short one :)
I would have really loved to see Kimi try to overtake max, but max boxed each time he came within DRS
Also, I think Norris could’ve easily gotten the podium (or at least P4) if they’d just pitted later for mediums to pull off the one stop. He wasn’t dropping much lap time before both of his stops
How has Alonso ended up 18th. Even with his pit stop that's a long way back?
Hopefully Russell can at least hold on to a podium. With how high Mercs are starting it feels like they can only drop down, I doubt they can match McLarens and Max.
Ok then
