Norris ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Couldn't have done it in a more difficult way ๐Ÿ˜…

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 week ago

NORRIS got it!

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I've complained about Norris's race craft before, but that double overtake was slick.

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

yes he did what he had to do. it was clean

~~Stroll on fire with the P10 to get Aston Martin one point ahead of Racing Bulls in the constructors'.~~

I was wrong. VCARB is ahead. F1TV commentators misled me.

He overtook off track tho?

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[โ€“] TheYang@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Well, he could have backed out. (Which would have been safer)

With this ruling FIA says that that's not required.

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 2 points 1 week ago

Looked like it on the replay

[โ€“] Shieldtoad@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I hope we get some donuts when this is over.

[โ€“] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I gotta say that during Max's resurgence I was seriously debating not renewing my subscription for next year. I was just bored of the entire sport even though everything is so close and it's much more thrilling than those dominant seasons we've become used to.

I'm sort of excited for today's event but I'm not 100% sure I'll be along for the ride next year. You get maybe 6 interesting races, the rest is all just processions that take a couple of hours.

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 6 points 1 week ago

Next year is the biggest regulation change in decades. DRS will be gone. There'll be another team on the grid, or two really with Audi. And the first year of a set of regulations is always crazy cool imo. Development race will be wild, we'll have many different aero concepts at the start, the new engines will probably have reliability issues for a while...

Of all the times to stop watching, this one I can't really understand. If course if what you want is tons of overtaking and wheel-to-wheel then there is no guarantees, but when was that ever guaranteed in F1?

I'm glad I don't pay for it, I definitely wouldn't have stuck around in 23 but hopefully the new regs don't lead to the same thing happening again

Hopeful, but resigned to the obvious. It'd take a fuckup of monumental proportiona for lando to lose this one.

[โ€“] Luvs2Spuj@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Going off previous form...

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah we basically need three cars to be faster than Lando. Even if Max wins and Russel gets second (not unthinkable), McLaren will just ask to swap positions if Piastri is third. So we'll need another podium crasher and I just can't see it.

[โ€“] itisileclerk@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Team orders in Monza were crucial for this championship. Who would know?

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago

This is it! Folks it has been a pleasure following this season with you!

Four racing laps to go, utterly tedious in the podium places for almost the entire race but some exciting battles going on down the field!

[โ€“] SneakyWeasel@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Omg that yuki block was scary...

Tsunoda's now the one ahead of Norris. Japanese minister of defenseโ„ข๏ธ activated.

Lawson does love a 5 second penalty for causing a collision, doesn't he?

[โ€“] Microw@piefed.zip 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Given how many drivers have been hated by fans for driving reckless, I wonder why Lawson isn't more unpopular

Terrified of Lando having to get past Stroll unscathed

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

Nice overtake by Norris on Tsunoda

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Alonso is going to back up the whole grid to give Stroll a free pitstop ๐Ÿ˜‚

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 1 week ago

He sadly didn't have enough time to do it before Stroll's tires fell of a cliff

[โ€“] itisileclerk@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Finnaly after 4 years SKY F1 are happy.

[โ€“] hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Best outcome: Norris fans are satisfied with his WDC, Verstappen fans are satisfied because he was the best driver this year.

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

yeah and that podium reflect the season too. 3 of the best drivers and cars.

[โ€“] SneakyWeasel@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I really hope lando doesnt botch this. It almost seems like hes nervous to try and be around the top 2

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 6 points 1 week ago

It's a little bit boring, but it's the safe way to do it. Just cruising to 3rd should be very easy for him and that's all that's needed.

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

Hamilton going to end 7/8 aligned with the whole season...

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not surprised the stewards didn't want to penalize Norris there. Will Red Bull file a complaint?

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

what penalty Bro ? ;)

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 1 week ago
[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Great racing by both Alonso and Piastri there!

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

yes Alonso is really impressive.

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago
[โ€“] hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago (4 children)

A mechanic grabbed Tsunoda's tyre before the penalty was served so expect another penalty.

I can see Lando getting a 5 second penalty, which would really mess up any team order options for McLaren.
