Man, I am so excited to see Lando and the updated McLaren have a great weekend. It looks to have us potentially in the mix with Merc and AM. Psyched to see Oscar get the new car next weekend too.
Being faster than the Merc and keeping tow on the Ferrari was great to see. Silverstone is going to be interesting. Upgrades proved they're good at high speed; how will they handle with the turns coming into Becketts?.
I noticed all weekend Norris did a lot of deep braking into wider entries. It looked like understeer but snapped in late and powered out fast.
Edit: Oh, not to forget a mention for all the McLaren fans in the crowd sporting papaya shirts and flares. Austria turning it up for McLaren once again. And congrats to that Max guy :P
That was class. Not needed at all for the DC, RBR already has the CC and Perez is banking the point, and all it takes is a grumpy lug nut to lose those few extra seconds.... "Nah, let's sweep again."
Also, hell yeah for Lando's DotD. Austria giving us awesome racing once again.
Please don't spoil the races in the title or picture.
Just make a thread like "austria gp discussion".
Everyone who watched it knows the results.
Otherwise I'll have to leave this community I'm afraid.
Maybe for the future use a generic title and have the results table/image attached? Something like "Austria Grand Prix 2023 Results". Just until we get spoiler tags.
Spoiling races was the one thing I hoped we would leave with Reddit. I mean, considering the current state of F1 Max winning isn't really a surprise. That doesn't make it okay. When/if Lemmy supports Spoiler tags, I hope we can enforce this rules for at least the first 24 hours after a race.
There's no "staying off the board" it pops up on your feed when you're subscribed. It's like you don't know how many of this works. The only way to avoid it is to unsubscribe. Which I did.
I’m going to have to leave this community. Living in the US I watch these races on time delay. If mods are going to spoil races like this in my feed, I’m out.
I think if Lemmy supports spoiler tags it shouldn’t be an issue to use them, but just to understand… why would you come here if you did not see the race yet?
Can we not do this whole “X wins the race” thing please? Or at the very least use a generic title without spoilers. This shows up in the /all feed and spoils literally everyone who can’t watch the race live. (Even though we kind of know who will win these days)
How are Red Bull pulling in this kind of performance, and not cheating? How the hell does one team execute so well and the rest of the grid is not even in the same league? Geez.
My guess is they found a loophole in the regs. They're doing something that is technically allowed, but was never intended. You know the other teams have been pouring over everything they can to find any violation.
Spoiler got me too, though I'm lowkey glad redbull are still winning because at round 2-3 I slapped a 19:1 bet on red bull to win every race of the season lol
Might it be possible to put spoiler warnings in the headline? This showed up in my /all feed and I was going to watch the highlights on TV this evening
Carlos' car didn't erupt in flames this time, so that's a sign of moving in the right direction. His defence on Perez was excellent too. A deserved podium spot for them.
Really fun race, Lots of action! Max with the third stop and hearting up his tires a bit before smashing the fastest lap was insanity. Strong drive from Checo “The Intimidator” Perez as well! Will be exciting to see how Norris looks in this upgraded McClaren in his home Grand Prix with how rapid the car looked today
